Create doc file without word installed

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi guys,

I need to create DOC / EXL files on Domino Server.

(using agent.runOnServer)

How can I do this if customer does not want to install Office on server with Domino Server?

Customer is ready to install some tools or register some DLL.

Thanks!

Subject: Look up Office XML creation…

  • Office can read and write it’s own proprietary XML format, which you may leverage to write XML that will load seamlessly into Office. This same trick works to download a “file” in Office format … simply write the Office XML to the browser with the appropriate MIME type set, and the browser will pop a dialog to open or download an Office document.

  • I’m pretty sure there are posts relating to this in the R6/7 forum. If there are not, search the web. That’s were I recall finding it, but alas, not where. I search anew each time I need information.

Hope this helps…
