=================================================================== Issue #4 -- Best way to output from ZOPE to MS Word =================================================================== Status: Open Zen Level: Disciple (3/8) Keywords: DTML Submitted by: Brian Hickman bkkr@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------------- My clients require a printed document, along with a version in MS Word format. What is the best way to send a document created in ZOPE to MS Word? *Editor: I'd like to broaden this to include alternative strategies for exporting formatted documents from Zope, as well as more classic "report writing."* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Entry from: David Brown davidbro@home.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to accomplish this would be to use an External Method that leverages the Python COM package to drive MSWORD and create the report. You could use Word to create the report, and even print it. Alternatively, you could learn all about RTF and write an External Method that creates an RTF file. -------------------------------------------------------------------
