Merge word documents

[michaenh]

Hi all

Do anyone know how to merge a word document.
I have a standard word document with some merge fields and I want to merge these fields with some data from my database.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

I use TRichedit with template where I put all data. Then you can get it to the clipboard or save as RTF. It is the easiest way if you do not want to dive into .doc format or OLE.

RTF appears as a subset of .doc functionality. But biggest part of a .DOCument consists of RTF-blocks.

Thanks December!
It is nice to have responds (smile).

It is easy ,as you say, to use TRichedit with template where I put all data. Then to get it to the clipboard or save as RTF.

I am now trying to dive into doc. format or OLE.

Thanks alot once more....

If you want OLE information try Delphi's OLEAUTOMATION newsgroup. Lots of information there on using MSWord/Excel/Outlook through Delphi.

Maybe something along these lines?

procedure MergeWordDocs(FileName1,FileName2:string);
var
WordObj:variant;
begin
WordObj:=CreateOleObject('Word.Basic');
WordObj.FileNew(FileName1);
WordObj.FileSaveAs(Name:=FileName1,Format:=0);
WordObj.FileOpen(FileName1);
WordObj.InsertFile(Name:=FileName2);
end;
