Something to be included in this project??

Master · Guest

Hello,

it is difficult for me to tell what I want in english so I write it in german, and hope somebody can understand it.

Also folgendes:
Wir setzen bei uns einen Formulardruckserver ein, den wollen wir abschaffen und jetzt ist die Frage ob man in einem Formular von OpenOffice eine Funktion einbauen könnte das wenn ein bestimmter Text in einer bestimmten Schriftart und Größe in diesem Formular zu finden ist das er mir dann einen Kopfbogen einfügt, den man vorher sozusagen als Anhang dem Formular hinzugefügt hat.

Es soll wie folgt funktionieren.

Ich gebe in meinem Formular den Text "hallo" ein. Wenn ich dann auf Drucken gehe dann soll er mir das Bild "hallo.jpg" an eine bestimmte Stelle setzen.

Ich hoffe es hat jemand verstanden.

I'm sorry that i can't explain this in english but my school english is not the best.

Greetings

I translated the text above with a translation program. Now I hope somebody can understand it.

We use a form printing server, which we want to abolish. The question is: In one form of OpenOffice should be a function inserted which looks if a certain text in a certain character font and size is in it, if this is true then the function should add me a picture which i have linked with this certain text. The picture I want to be added by this function maybe is included into the form, when the form was built.

The function should do something like the following:
I enter the text "hello" in my form. If I then on press the print button the function should add the picture "hallo.jpg" to a certain place in the document.

Please don't laugh at my english Wink

Basically you are looking to automate the importation of files (eg graphics) into your documents?

I would not know personally how to accomplish this, but it sounds like something that would require a macro. No doubt someone will come along soon who will have an idea of how or if, it can be done.

if I realise this with a macro the problem would be that the Image i want to import have to be on the local machine. Maybe I understand something wrong, but is it possible to import the image from a place on our network??

I could be totally mistaken, but given that OOo uses URLs internally for file locations, I'd think it would be no real problem to use an image from anywhere on your network. Or does anyone else know otherwise?

Cheers,

Some good basic Smile

introductions to Basic:

Andrew Pitonyak's macro documents
Sun's StarOffice 7 Basic Programmer's Guide
The OOoMacros site
And of course the Developers' Guide and samples, which are pretty heavy duty. Start with Andrew's or Sun's documentation first.

Actually, you might just want to browse around on http://development.openoffice.org/index.html, but the above are kind of the highlights for beginners to OOo Basic.

Cheers,

Erik
