exporting to microsoft word

[molly]

Hello,

I'm currently doing some catalogue work on Filemaker Pro 4.0. I would like to transfer the information to from Filemaker to Microsoft Word. Is this possible?? How do I do it if there is a way?

Thanks

Molly

It depends on what you need. There are many ways...

thanks for your reply. I know that I can copy and paste and tahts about it. Is Filemaker compatible with Microsoft Word?? How do I get a data entry record transferred into Word without doing copy and paste?

The question is: What do you really want to do? You can export the data in various forms and create merge files that can be opened in Word. It really depends on your end goals.

Sometimes I am using Clipboard button to trigger a simple script to copy the whole formatted address from Calc field to Clipboard. That is for prefabricated heading for Letter in Word.

You can also export some fields tab delimited and import that file into Word.

You can probably do something through ODBC on PC. Or with combination of VBS on PC. You can use AppleScript on Mac.

Will be some of this OK for you?

Could you tell me more about your needs?
