Document (Variable type)

In french: Document

The Document type is used to handle a "docx" document. The content of this document can be viewed and modified by several WLanguage functions and properties.

A Document variable can be initialized:

with a ".docx" file or an ".rtf" file.
with a buffer (containing a docx or rtf).
with a Binary Memo item of a data file.

with a character string. For example:

MonDoc is Document = "un paragraphe." + RC + "un second paragraphe."

Note: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable.

Example

See additional examples

// Chargement du document
MonDoc is Document = "c:\temp\doc.docx"
// Parcours des paragraphes du document
FOR EACH para OF MonDoc.Paragraph
	FOR EACH MonElément OF para.Element
		Trace(MonElément.Texte)
	END
END
