GOAL:
How can I obtain the content of a Word document?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
The contents of a Word document can be read into a character variable as text (limited to approximately 32K) by using the following code:
DEFINE VARIABLE vData AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE hWord AS COM-HANDLE NO-UNDO.
/* Code to load MS Word and Open the document goes here */
/* The following code grabs the text of the current (active) document and puts it into a character variable */
vData = hWord:ActiveDocument:Content:Text.
