Description wesborgman 2003-10-02 23:29:27 UTC
3rd party program avimark (avimark.com) uses OLE methods, "Find" to find a 
particular merge word, then "Delete" to remove the merge word itself from the 
text of the document, then finally "InsertAfter" to insert the text that is 
to replace the merge word. These methods work great, except to 
locate merge words WITHIN MS Word "text boxes". You have to convert 
text boxes to "frames" for the "Find" to work...beats me why, but 
hey, we're at the mercy of Mr. Gates on this one. His people wrote 
both OLE and MS Word, so it's in his court.

Would it be technically correct to say that AVImark uses OLE 
automation to 'search and replace' text in both MS Word as well as 
OpenOffice 1.1 and StarOffice. 

The OLE method is as follows: "Find" to find text stings, 
then "Delete" to remove the text string from the document, and 
finally "InsertAfter" to insert the text or image that is to replace 
the text string. 

These methods work great, except “Find” doesn’t work to locate text 
strings in Oo1.1 that are in a tables or text box. 

This method does work with MS Word tables. In MS Word it also works 
in "text boxes" if you convert the text boxes to "frames."

Star Office has not been tested.

A demo of AVImark can be downloaded at avimark.com if further 
testing is needed.
