fmsavey Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriceN Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) 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.

Stickybeak Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickybeak Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 No its the EZXslt thats not compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverly Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beverly Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 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.

comment Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comment Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverly Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
