Title: Opening/importing a MS-Word document in Sparx Jscript
Post by: BruceTOGAF2 on December 07, 2017, 09:55:04 pm

// The following code succesfully opens a CSV file as a worksheet
var xlApp = new ActiveXObject( "Excel.Application");
var xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open (inputFileName);
var xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(worksheetNo);
var wsSource = xlSheet;
wsCell = wsSource.Cells(2, 1);

How do I do the same with a Word document?

// The following code fails to open a Word Document
var wordApp = new ActiveXObject( "Word.Application");
// Above line seems to succeed
var wordDoc = wordApp.Open (inputFileName);
// Above line errors out 'Object doesn't support this property or method'


// The following code fails to open a Word Document
var wordApp = new ActiveXObject( "Word.Application");
// Above line seems to succeed
var wordDoc = wordApp.Document.Open (inputFileName);
// Above line errors out 'Document is null or not an object'

Have you tried googling that.
There seems to be loads of results.

One of them (I just copied it, did not verify)

Code: [Select]

function openWord(spath) {
            var pause = 0;
            var wdDialogFileOpen = 80;
            var wdApp = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
            wdApp.Visible = 'True';
            var wdDoc = wdApp.Documents;
            wdDoc.Open(spath);
            document.form1.submit();
        }

// The following lines open the Word document successfully
var wdObj = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
wdObj.Visible = true;
var wdDoc = wdObj.Documents.Open(inputFileName);

Thank you Geert
