May 3, 200718 yr Is anyone using Chapparelle Software's XSLT Stylesheet builder for FileMaker? This piece of software will convert a "marked up" Word document into an xslt stylesheet which then can be used to create Word documents from exported xml data from FileMaker. I was wondering if it could create stylesheets that would mimic FileMaker reports that had subsummary parts.
May 3, 200718 yr EZxslt now has a feature for repeating sections, so that you can mimic the list view or a portal. But sub totals and other calculations must be calculated in FM and exported. Also, only one section of Word document is repeating. Still, EZxslt is a BIG time saver. Edited May 3, 200718 yr by Guest
November 21, 201114 yr Not any more it wont - its power pc software and it wont work if you upgrade to Lion which I, foolishly, did. Any comparable solution out there? Help....
December 16, 201114 yr OK, thanks, Stickybeak! I'd forgotten that it was "compiled". There are ways to do the same thing, you just have to create your XSLT manually... Beverly
January 2, 201214 yr The Word document can be saved as RTF format and opened with a text editor. Try to see if you can use the same "format" with calculated fields to "merge" the field data. No XML or XSLT required. Save the text (export) with the .rtf extension and see what happens. Beverly
January 2, 201214 yr Save the text (export) with the .rtf extension I think you'll run into a problem with the UTF-16 encoding (assuming you meant export field contents).
January 21, 201213 yr I think you'll run into a problem with the UTF-16 encoding (assuming you meant export field contents). what problem?
January 21, 201213 yr When Export Field Contents is used with a Text field, the resulting file is always encoded in UTF-16. Such .rtf file is either rejected or read as gibberish by target applications. Here is a simple test you can try for yourself. RTF.zip
February 6, 201213 yr It could be the "LIttle Endian" BOM (byte order mark) at the beginning of the text content (also in the Export Field Contents). This is invisible, but if your RTF can't handle it, It can't handle it. Beverly
