I certainly hope we can open/save .docx document with 4D Write Pro in a near future as this is mandatory for me also. I have an application install on several sites that write contracts from clauses stored in a 4D DB and I need to use 4D write and compatibility with MSWord is a must. Right now

One thing I found to be very helpful was to see how the WriteLike tool bar available via the blog does things. Most things we do programmatically in write or pro are done via the tool bars buttons and menus as well. So often when I was struggling to convert a 4D Write command of function to pro

I also have one client that is a huge 4d write user. We also need to have ability to convert to Microsoft word. Additionally, there are some things we do not seem to be able to do in write pro so for now, we will be maintain 4d write licenses across multiple servers and standalone dos. At the la

I gave up trying to convert write documents to Pro reliably. Fortunately for me with a few exceptions the existing write documents are not supposed to be modifiable so I decided to convert them to PDFs. New documents going forward will be pro only. John Baughman Kailua, Hawaii john...@hawaii.r

We’ve been looking at converting a pretty complex system with form letters, paragraphs, lots of imbedded fields, hot links and html expressions. It looks like a huge job just trying to convert the old docs. We think the rewrite will take more effort than the original development. Paul > On 2

Hi Chip, Thanks for the clarification. In our case .docx and / or .rtf would be acceptable. We don't need .doc specifically. We need something which could be saved as a stand alone document and easily opened and edited within MS Word. Thanks again, Mike

.doc is probably an issue as it is a proprietary format from MS. .docx might not be such an issue as it is "open" and is supposed to be based on xml. On Wed, 29 Aug 2018 18:22:02 +, Michael McCall via 4D_Tech wrote: > doc export option we will be unable to use it. This is an essential > feat

4D Write had an an export to RTF option which worked with MS Word. That was the main reason we used 4D Write. Until 4D Write Pro has an .rtf or .doc export option we will be unable to use it. This is an essential feature and we can only hope that it arrives quickly. I just added my name to the
