Nor could I... just placed my order also.
Still haven't had a chance to run it through any trials yet, but after
viewing the demo I am already convinced of the quality. Besides,
that's a great deal!

If the export version permits exports from a field into predictably formatted
OO text documents, then it will be a solution to the revPrintField problem. 
If it runs on Linux, of course.

Good idea, however, I would like to reward early adopters with the best
deal. So here's my special: anyone who orders WordLib before the release
of WordOut will get a $20 coupon for WordOut.

When WordOut is released, this offer ends, so order now for the best
price. :-)


FWIW, I ordered a license within a few minutes of Curry's announcement, 
and have been playing with it this afternoon.  Quite nice.


I'd looked into writing such a think myself at one time, but Curry's 
focused on this with an unusual diligence and passion that goes much 
farther than I would have been able to put into it myself.


His library is perhaps the most complete interpretation of Word files 
possible in Rev, including just about everything Rev fields support - 
all the way down to images, tables, and more.  In fact, his lib seems to 
render Word files with greater fidelity than even Apple's Text Edit app 
with the files I've been working with.


Of course Rev fields don't do everything Work does, but what they do is 
handled here well and and in a form that's a breeze to work with, with 
most operations being simple one-liners.  Malte-quality API design. :)


Extra bonus points:  not only does this lib support the latext Docx 
XML-based format, but also two earlier Word formats and the Open Office 
format.


I'm about to make one of my clients very happy.  Thanks, Curry!

Thanks! It won't be automatically included by the standalone maker, but it
is easy to distribute with your application and there is example code for
that. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks Malte. Yes, I have another library called WordOut, currently in
beta and coming soon, which exports text from a field with a single

Very nice... and your timing is great also!
I'm just about ready to start the documentation process for an almost
finished project and will give this a try for sure. If all goes well,
I'll gladly register. :-)

I very briefly scanned the documentation, but might as well ask here
in my reply:
When saving an app that uses WordLib as a standalone, is there a
requirement to distribute the library as a support file or will it
automatically be included in the executable file?

[ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3

2010-04-23 Thread Curry Kenworthy

Howdy Folks,

I happy to announce WordLib 1.3, a comprehensive solution for MS Word and
OpenOffice document import. With a single command you can import a
document to a field. (And there are more options under the hood for
advanced users.) You can also store documents inside stacks.

This is the real thing--text borders, highlights, images, links,
footnotes, tables--it's all there! (Even down to the Roman numerals for
notes.) The high-quality file translation for modern document formats is
written in pure native RunRev scripting code for maximum power and
compatibility.

File types include extensive support for .docx (Word 2007), .odt
(OpenOffice), and .xml (Word 2003), along with basic support for .doc
(legacy Word).

This version adds Mac support, and Windows is also fully supported. (It
hasn't been tested on Linux.) More nifty features and file formats are
planned, of course, so I appreciate your support of the project, and the
more registered users I have, the more I will be adding to the library.

This is the import library. For those interested in Word and OpenOffice
*export*, that's WordOut, which is in Beta and will be coming out soon!

A download page link is below. Unzip the package and open the Try WordLib
stack in Rev to get started. Enjoy! And feel free to contact me with any
comments and suggestions.

(Current registered users *don't* need to register again for this update.)
