Export to MS Word

Hi,

In the previous releases it was not possible to Export documents to the Word-Format. Is this still valid - or - any new functions available?

Thanks,

Ernst

There are various reasons, none of them good, but mostly due to the fact that the export was not working well. It is still possible to use the @Command([FileExport] approach and export to Word, but the results are not so great. See my article Exporting to MS Word for further thoughts and a 3rd party alternative.

I’ve been able to use Lotus Script to create a Word Document from Notes and “export” the values of the fields.

Code Example:

Dim s As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Set db = s.CurrentDatabase

Dim view As NotesView

Set view = db.GetView(“Comments”)

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim wordObj As Variant

Set doc = view.GetFirstDocument

While Not doc Is Nothing

Comments = doc.Renew_Comments(0)

FileName = “C:\TEMP\WORD.DOC”

Set wordObj = CreateObject(“Word.Application”)

Call wordObj.Documents.Add

Call wordObj.Selection.TypeText(Comments)

Call wordObj.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(FileName)

Call wordObj.ActiveDocument.Close

Set doc = view.GetNextDocument(doc)

Wend

End Sub

Each “Call wordObj” line contains the Visual Basic code that Word uses. To get specific VB codes for whatever you need, you can create a macro in MS Word, go through whatever commands you need to format the document, add text, etc., then look at the VB code through the MS Word Macro Editor.
