Howdy Folks,
I'm happy to announce WordLib 1.3, a comprehensive solution for MS Word and OpenOffice document import. With a single command you can import a document to a field. (And there are more options under the hood for advanced users.) You can also store documents inside stacks.
This is the real thing--text borders, highlights, images, links, footnotes, tables--it's all there! (Even down to the Roman numerals for notes.) The high-quality file translation for modern document formats is written in pure native RunRev scripting code for maximum power and compatibility.
File types include extensive support for .docx (Word 2007), .odt (OpenOffice), and .xml (Word 2003), along with basic support for .doc (legacy Word).
This version adds Mac support, and Windows is also fully supported. (It hasn't been tested on Linux.) More nifty features and file formats are planned, of course, so I appreciate your support of the project, and the more registered users I have, the more I will be adding to the library.
This is the import library. For those interested in Word and OpenOffice *export*, that's WordOut, which is in Beta and will be coming out soon!
A download page link is below. Unzip the package and open the Try WordLib stack in Rev to get started. Enjoy! And feel free to contact me with any comments and suggestions.

Hi Curry,
Is this an external? Or a plug-in?

Re: MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
Curry, I am using this plugin in my program but have noticed that when I import a document that has the text "centered" the import always left justifies everything. Is that the way it is supposed to work?
It will keep it indented if tab was used...but, the problem with that is if I want it centered on the page and the person resizes the window then tabs do not do the job.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Howdy Tim,
Basically we're just waiting for the Revolution field control to support paragraph justification, and then I'll update WordLib to use that also!
(If your entire document needs to be centered, you can just set the field justification.)
