MI-L SUM MI-L DDE commands to format text in Word

Well it appears that one cant send text formatting commands through DDE to Word. One way to handle this type of thing is to create a template document already formatted and laid out the way it needs to be. Embedded bookmarks, in the already formatted document, receive the text strings sent

This looks like the typical Windows Explorer error that occures when you by fault click on a file and move the mouse before you let go of the mouse button again. This will give you a "Copy of ..." file with the the exact same name as the oriignal file. This error can also be reproduced in the Ope

Mapinfow.mnu contains commands to generate the menus and buttonpads that appear when MapInfo starts up. They have the exact same syntax as menu creation in MapBasic. MapInfo knows which command to execute from the number after "Calling" (the numbers are hard-coded into MapInfo), and if you had Ma
