Working With The Word Processor Interface (SAP Library - Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI))

Working With The Word Processor Interface

Purpose

The word processor interface allows you to address application-specific word processing functions in the office application (if it has a word processor interface) from your ABAP program (refer also to has_wordprocessor_interface)

Prerequisites

You must create the instance document for document management before you can use the interface.

Process flow

1. Declare an instance with reference to the interface i_oi_word_processor_document:

data: wp type ref to i_oi_word_processor_document.

2. Use the method get_wordprocessor_interface on the document instance for document management to create the instance for the word processor interface.

3. Use the application-specific functions:
