Document creation problem

Rex · January 2, 2010

Hi

For 1 mdr. i have tryed to finde a way to use AutoIT to create a document like the att. one.

I have tryed the word replace function but recives thise errors

--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocOpen, $_WordStatus_InvalidObjectType
--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocGetCollection, $_WordStatus_InvalidObjectType
--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocFindReplace, $_WordStatus_InvalidDataType
--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordQuit, $_WordStatus_InvalidObjectType

Then i thinked of creating a .html and the write it with my info when needed, but i needed it to be printed and file print didn't work got some script error from printer (but it works with plain txt files)

The Doc i am trying to create/print is a Freight Letter, filed with info collected from a booking program I'm creating - but i cant get past the doc creation/printing thing - i realy realy don't know how to do it :evil: .

The info i collected from up to 31 /5 strings containing:

Customer (no limit to chars), Number of Collies(no limit to chars, but rarely over 4 chars, and only Numbers), Collie Type (PLL or CLL)(Limit to 3 chars), Collie Weight (no limit to chars, but rarely over 4 chars, and only Numbers) and last our Order Numbers (Contains 6 digs, and if more then one spitted by a "-", 123456-654321, and no limit to how many order numbers could be entered, as it is our proof that the receiver has received all we send).

Do any of U have an :evil: for me for how to create this?

Cheers

Would you kindly post what you have for code thus far so we can see where you might be going awry?

(And so if someone is so kind enough to assist you, we can potentially avoid completely reinventing the wheel.)

Problem is i don't have any code, well at least not for the doc/print part

, course the word thing didn't work gave those errors things, and i dropped the html code after print problem, so i'm back to scratch again (this has been for a month now, thats why i posted here as a last result).

Try this from the same directory as your Word Document is in:

#include <Word.au3>
$oWord = _WordCreate(@ScriptDir & "\test.doc")
$oWordDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWord, 0)
_WordDocFindReplace($oWordDoc, "SENDER NAME", "Santa Claus")
_WordDocPrint($oWordDoc)

$oWordDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWord, 0)
_WordDocFindReplace($oWordDoc, "SENDER NAME", "Santa Claus")
_WordDocPrint($oWordDoc)

Tryed, and failed

--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocFindReplace, $_WordStatus_InvalidDataType

Could it be becorse i'm useing O2k7 ?

What version of Office and AutoIt are you running?

exodius · January 3, 2010

I'm also using Office 2007 and it works for me, so that can't be it.

Now you did modify my code to point to the name of your .doc file right?

Yes i did change the path and name of *.doc file.

I'm using AutoIT 3.3.2.0

Word opens, but nothing happens other then the error from SciTE Console, the same prob i have had every time i tryed, that's why i wanned to try something other also this way making sure that the prog can be used on pc's without Office.

</body>

</html>

Then i think that all i need is to do som filewrite writing until i have included the entire html doc in my script, then i think/hope that i can do some inserting where i want my info :evil: .

How ever I'm not a web gui thing, and not shure on how to make shure that the htm file can be printen on one page without top/buttom info text from browser.

And still i havn't found a way to open/print with Auto IT

Really hope that some of U can help me with this problem.

Cheers

Hi

Just to wrap this up.

I ended up using search and replace to change the needed info in my html, then i call a html2pdf build in pyton (couldn't find a way to do this with AutoIT :evil: ) to create a pdf file from my html to ensure identical print result every time

Cheers
