Hi all,
On the subject of COM, I'm in the final stages of creating a product to convert Word Documents to HTML on the fly, taking the style sheet built into the document and creating an HTML4/CSS rendition of it.
I know that there are Word->HTML converters around, but we have an awful lot of documents that need doing, and don't really want to convert them if no-ones going to look at them, this way since they get converted on the fly (and then cached and only reconverted if the original changes), only the documents that need converting get done.
If anyone else has an interest in this then let me know.
Damm! You beat me! I was going to start on this this weekend. My idea is to use Word (via WordArt) to generate titles on the fly. You would create a word doc with several pics in it with text='Sample'. When you called it the text is replaced and a gif/jpeg is generated (possibilly via PiL). This way, you get access to all your cool truetype fonts. ie: WordArt/Title/<title text>.gif Could you point me to a location where I can get some code (no use re-inventing the wheel ;) Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder Computer Systems Engineering University of Queensland
