Word Processing

Word Processing

Use

You can use text processing to:

Create letters using MS Word

This function generates a Word file from the data in a list, and links it to another Word document. Replacement variables can then be transferred to the Word document and supplied with the values from the generated Word file.

Create a document

This function transfers the list currently displayed to the presentation server as an RTF file. The RTF format lets you use the file as a Word document. You can define whether colors should be included in the list, and whether MS Word should be started immediately. Specify the full path for the file.

Text processing is available in single-level lists.

Prerequisites

You can only use the form letter function and the immediate start of Word during creation of a document if you have MS Word installed on your PC.
