LiveCode Forums

Simon (or anyone), You know I was trying the lesson on this at: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/29177-how-to-create-pdfs-using-livecode I uploaded their stack but whenever I executed the printcards handler my runrev Studio complained that it couldn't find the handler. I tried it with th...

I can export a field in the form of rtf, txt, doc., and even html from runrev. like this: on mouseUp set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("desktop") put the rtfText of fld "Narrative" into url "file:Finished Narrative.rtf" launch document "Finished Narrative.rtf" end mouseUp Piece of cake. But...

I see. Well, one day I will compile a "toolbox" of fun buttons that do any easy thing. Simple scripts like the one you gave me instead of the kind of hard to understand stuff in some of the documentation.

This works perfectly and is as simple as I thought it was. Thanks so very much.

I just want to save the card screen as a graphic. Like a screenshot of what's on the card without the menu or anything. (The documentation read: "The revBrowserSnapshot command takes a snapshot of the page currently being displayed in the specified browser object.") So I tried it. I tried other ways...

I'm putting this into the basic area because I've looked through the forum and can't get something basic to work. I simply want to save a RunRev PAGE/CARD as a graphic. I have used snapshot to do some other things, but I'm spending forever getting this simple thing done. FROM DOCUMENTATION: local tS...

I'll have to look into that. I shouldn't be such a difficult thing. I was hoping it would be just like what I had done. I got PP to read the text. I got that text into powerpoint. I hoped I could do it with an image as well. By the way, I received a message saying that there had been a reply to my o...

Well, actually I put quotes around the word "paste" because I didn't do anything with the clipboard. I don't know how to paste from the clipboard into another document. I wrote this and if you use tabs as subheadings you get a powerpoint presentation with multiple slides with headings subtext and su...

Well, it shows what I know. I thought that as I learned more I could get RunRev to do the things I imagined it would be able to do. The script I have does, in effect at least, create a PP doc and "paste" text into it and the result is a pp presentation with many slides with headings, text, and subte...

I posted a question in the Live Code area and got great info that I can use. I had a different but related question and thought it might be best in the Rich Media area. It has been days and it has received 67 views but no replies. Is it bad manners if I post the same question in some other area? FYI...

I've used the following script to create a PowerPoint document containing text data that was arranged in RunRev. How can I get RunRev to send, paste, (whatever) a GRAPHIC into a PowerPoint document in the same way and hopefully at the same time? on mouseUp open file specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/...

Nice! It does just what I wanted it to do. Just tabs for the hierarchy. What could be simpler? I should have thought I would have hit upon that myself! Thanks very much indeed. Any ideas on writing something in the file that will put a graphic on the slide? Or should I make a new Topic for that? Tom...

Well, I have another question. Here's how I have learned to create a powerpoint document and "paste" data into it. The field MyData has five lines of text. When this script is run, it creates a PPT document with five "slides." There's a "slide" for each line. Each line of text is the TITLE of the sl...

Wow. That sure works. Thanks all around. I'm thinking of ways to input data into powerpoint and other kinds of documents and this gets me started.

Well, it opened the file once I think when I put it on the desktop as I guess the script says, but nothing was pasted into the file. Also, I couldn't ever get it to launch the document again. It just says "the document 'test.rft' could not be opened." It has been corrupted somehow. Now I can't open ...
