@randallc - I've been doing some testing, by chance are you initially opening the document via script?

There seems to be a bug with _WordAttach() not finding documents opened via script; however it works fine when the document is opened manually. :)

Hi,

It seems to be either way for me! - I was originally doing it manually; now I see I have the problem either way.

Seems that "isobj"=1 $oWindows does not have a collection in it, despite existing???...!

Best, Randall

[EDIT; PS later; it is working?!.. I give up]

Is it possible to have an Openoffice udf inside Word.au3...

where they should have same funcs and you can use an global var in the apps where you can decide when to change from one to another:

example:

include word.au3

$Wordactiveprocessor="OPEN"

.... CODE valid FOR OPENOFFICE

$WordActiveProcessor="Word"

.... Code valid for Word

$WordActiveProcessor="Excel"

..... Code valid for Exce

Same functions same things...

It is a great UDF,

Thanks for supporting the free software :) OO

New update available! See update history in first post for changes.

Enjoy,

@BasicOs - I probably won't add this to Word.au3, but I could possibly create an add-on for Open Office.

For an Excel udf see the signature of randallc, 3 posts up.... :)

Heh, hmmm, well... aren't i watchful :P very nice randallc. Once "we" (and by that i mean all of you guys that aren't complete n00bs. like me) get the full office suite done i suppose it'll make it to the stable release. That'd be sweet.

I was trying to use your _WordDocAddPicture function and I cannot seam to get it to work with .png files. I receive this console error "--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocAddPicture, $_WordStatus_InvalidObjectType" when I run the following code.

#include <Word.au3>
$oWordApp = _WordCreate ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\WordOutput.doc", 0, 0)
$sPath = "C:\Program Files\Temp\"
$file = "MWSnap.png"
$oShape = _WordDocAddPicture ($oWordApp, $sPath & $file, 0, 1)
_WordQuit ($oWordApp)

I had been using my own code to do this so I am not sure why it will not work using your function. They appear to be similiar except I am using ".Selection".

Code that will insert .png files.

#include <Word.au3>
$gWord = ObjCreate("Word.Application")
$gWord.visible = False
$gWord.Documents.Add
$sPath = "C:\Program Files\Temp\"
$file = "MWSnap.png"
$gWord.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture( $sPath & $file, False, True)
$gWord.ChangeFileOpenDirectory (@DesktopDir)
$gWord.Activedocument.SaveAs ("WordOutput.doc")
$gWord.Application.Quit

@Kohr - The first parameter for _WordDocAddPicture() needs to be a document object, whereas your trying to pass an application object. Please take a look at the help file, there you will find an example of how to correctly use the function.

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks. I got the function to work. Any idea why the 1st method works and the 2nd does not?

Works.

#include <Word.au3>
$oWordApp = _WordCreate ("", 0, 0)
$oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection ($oWordApp, 0)
$sPath = "C:\Program Files\Temp\"
$file = "MWSnap.png"
$oShape = _WordDocAddPicture ($oDoc, $sPath & $file, 0, 1)
_WordDocSaveAs ($oDoc, @DesktopDir & "\WordOutput.doc")
_WordQuit ($oWordApp)

Does not work.

#include <Word.au3>
$oWordApp = _WordCreate (@DesktopDir & "\WordOutput.doc", 0, 0)
$oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection ($oWordApp, 0)
$sPath = "C:\Program Files\Temp\"
$file = "MWSnap.png"
$oShape = _WordDocAddPicture ($oDoc, $sPath & $file, 0, 1)
_WordDocSave ($oDoc)
_WordQuit ($oWordApp)

I mainly want to understand these more so I can decide if I want to use them. I basically use word to write a combination of txt and picture inserts on 100+ pages in a single word document. Everything I did is not function based but I would like to move to yours if possible.

Is it possible to run spellchecking on a word document?

What I am doing is the following:

I have a program which helps translators to correct their translated text against the original text. This is a GUI with two synchronised multiline Edit Ctrl with very special functions to speed up comparison of original and translated text. (The translated text normally is not made in MS Word)

I would like to add the functionality of spellchecking the translated text using Word spellchecker. Word is installed on everyone's computer (translators) with the local spellchecking so it should not be a problem to use it.

Based on the cool Word UDF I can insert my sentence to a word this should be no problem. But can I run the spellchecking somehow (preferably in hidden mode) and show results through my AutoIt GUI?

According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178794.aspx (Which is: How to: Check Spelling in Documents), there is a way of doing it, but I am not expert on this.

Thanks for your help

Ptrex!

This seems pretty promising!

Is it a right feeling that in

$RC=RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c Wscript.exe "' & @ScriptDir & '\TextSpellCheck.vbs" 1033',"",@SW_HIDE)

the 1033 should also be changed to local language code ($language)?

Thank you very much for the quick help!
