Maybe I am doing something wrong (but it is so simple, how could I?), but I am not seeing any output. I import a file (e.g. a text file) and I try to export it as a Word file (.doc). Nothing is created! I am on OS X 10.4.11 using Rev 4.0.

rev online is back. The stack is "Textutil" in the "Text" category. Works really cool.... I tested Doc (basic text) and webarchive import. The text is there. The links in the webarchive are lost, but h**l, it's a freebie!

The shell is your friend.

Check out textutil  in the shell.  (man textutil)

Mac OSX 10.4. and onward has document conversion routines built into the system. RTF, HTML, DOC, DOCX, WEBARCHIVE, ODT are some of the formats.

Someone (please identify one's self in one's demo stacks!) has uploaded to REV ONLINE a very simple stack that demonstrates conversion to- from various
text formats using shell calls. However, REV ONLINE,  one of the most
difficult to navigate and unresponsive parts of the IDE, is completely down today. Contact me offline if you really need the stack, the author has indicated he's giving it freely. However, the calls are so simple and well documented that it could be a good exercise in getting a shell call to work
for you, just using the documentation.

Hi Curry,

I'd be interested in having a look at the beta of the word export. I am currently using merge() to create reports for an application that I am working on. A library to do this sort of stuff sounds like a really useful tool. I would like to use OpenOffice, by preference, so I'm interested in
that too.

Apart from trying it out, will I be bale to look at how you are writing the library. I'm not a very good programmer but if I can help I'd like to.

cheers
