how can i send crlf to word07?

[waldoo]

hello autoit community!

this is my problem, i tried several things but i can't seem to get it to work:

when i try to write some text into a word07 file i can't create a carriage return/line feed. all i get is some text or squares:

$template = @ScriptDir & "\somefilewithastarinit.doc"
$oWord = ObjCreate("Word.Application")                      
$oWord.Visible = 1                                  
$oWordDocuments = $oWord.Documents                      
$oWordDocument = $oWordDocuments.Open($template)    

_WordDocFindReplace($oWordDocument,"*","line1" & @crlf & "line2" & @cr & "line3" & '<crlf>' & "line4" & 0x0D & 0x0A & "line5",1,0,0,1)

results in a text in the word file looking like this:

line1[][]line2[]line3<crlf>line41310line5

([] here represents a square, as you see none of the four ideas works)

as you can imagine, what i want is that:

line1

line2

line3

line4

line5

i bet there's one autoit-guru out there who knows that...

See the Remarks for Function _WordDocFindReplaceRemarks:

"You can search for special characters by specifying appropriate character codes. For example, "^p" corresponds to a paragraph mark and "^t" corresponds to a tab character.

You specify special characters and advanced search criteria just as you do for the Find argument."

According to word a manual line feed is "^l".

Hope this helps

Glad to be of service

Just for the records:

A list of codes can be found here. Paragraph "Codes for items you want to find and replace".
