I just renewed the Indy license for one year.
I am a legacy user and only update some former HCard stacks from time to time (all for in house use).
Still using Vs 6.5 (higher versions break a lot of old things).
One thing I need is WordReport, which seems to be orphaned.
WordReport requires a commercial license.
So am I stuck using 6.5 forever and paying $699 annually for this right?
Does anyone know any way to output RTF to Word (or Pages)?
Thanks!

Re: Legacy User
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you could use LiveCode 6.5 Community Edition (free) for this, as you are using it for in-house development use.

Re: Legacy User
... and you could also try (assuming you are on MacOS)
The output will be "/Users/admin/Documents/test.doc", a MSWord document.
Textutil does with my tests here a good job for that.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "/Users/admin/Documents/test.rtf" into tFileName
put the RTFtext of fld 1 into url ("file:" & tFileName)
-- OR use any other existing RTF file tFileName
get shell("textutil -convert doc " & tFileName)
end mouseUp

shiftLock happens
