*.docx

[Lincoln Sanderson]

To whomever it concerns,

I am having something of a difficult time importing the contents of a *.docx file into a field.

Using Troi file manipulator 4.5 plugin, i can use the TrFile_GetContents to extract the text out of most documents, but not the cursed *.docx.

What i hope to have in the end, is a field that contains the contents of a *.docx file which is referenced in the record, and the users able to do a search on this contents.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Lincoln

I think you'd better ask Troi if they support or intend to support this format. AFAIK .docx files are actually compressed archives, so there's no "text" that can be extracted from them directly.

You could either convert the file to another format (there are numerous free utilities that can do this), or uncompress the archive and look for a file named 'document.xml' in the 'word' directory - that's where the actual text of the document will be.
