waldoo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 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...

water Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 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".
