cmetc1999 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 First off, just want to say hi. I have been reading this forum for awhile, and have learned much from it. I have a question that I have been unable to find; however. I am certain it is a simple find, but I am not sure what to Google to find this answer. I really hope this is the right forum section for this kind of topic. I am working with COM to open a word document and change it via bookmarks in MS Word. That part is easy, open, change, and save. The problem I am having is creating tables inside of this word document. There are variable number of rows in these documents I am generating from user input so I cannot just have a table with word bookmarks in it to change; the number of rows is different every time. I know that I could have several templates and load them based on the number of rows, but that just seems like a poor way of implementing it. So, my question is, is there a method to COM to add tables? I know there are methods such as: Documents->Open ->Text ->SaveAs ->Quit Font Change, Align, etc... I have been looking on PhP site for a list of all methods, but I am just finding the basic ones listed above, and I suspect there are many more options I do not know about. Also, I am aware I could do HTML, but the person i am doing this for is hell bent on word otherwise I would use PDF. Additionally, I know when you format an Word Document via HTML, it will prompt you to save it as an HTML file, and is also, not very printable. I don't think he would love that too much For anyone who reads this, in advance, thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Someone might have addressed making word via php and wrote a functional library for it (Like PEAR) if this is the case go there instead of using all this Microsoft shell based actions. Otherwise your question really isn't php, but a COM question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmetc1999 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thank you for the help. I think I just need to find a listing of the php COM class, so I can see all of the methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
