Default copy and pasting word objects in containers - 01-17-2007 , 08:24 AM






Hi all

I am trying to script a process that will loop through a set of records and
copy the word table embedded in a container and then paste it in a word
file.

I have this working with vb in word, and a script the copies the contents of
the container and then moves on to the next record, runs the vb to paste in
word which in turns runs the fm script again until it gets to the last
record

but the problem is it pastes the contents as a word object in the word file
instead of just copying the text and table and pasting them straight into
word file.

does any one know of a way to resolve this

Thanks
C

Just a thought is there a way to script the container to open the embedded
file rather than edit it in filemaker

then it would be open to the VB in word to select all and copy

if not via scripting are there any plugins that will help???
