Hi all
How do you create a word document, and add text with like word-features (Bold, size, font, Paragraphs etc...) ?
Is it also possible for Mac?
Thanks

For Windows you will probably use a COM application like COMate, but Word needs to be present on the computer.
There are some good examples in the COMate package on how to communicate with Word.
I do not know how to do this on MacOS, though.

With great difficulty
You would find it far easier to generate an RTF file instead, as it's just text based (and very much cross platform). For example:
Code: Select all
OpenFile(0, "test.rtf")
WriteStringN(0, "{\rtf1")
WriteStringN(0, "{\fonttbl")
WriteStringN(0, "{\f0 Arial;}")
WriteStringN(0, "{\f1 Times New Roman;}")
WriteStringN(0, "}")
WriteStringN(0, "\f0\fs60 PureBasic Unleashed\par")
WriteStringN(0, "\f1\fs20 Feel the {\b Pure...} Power!\par")
WriteStringN(0, "}")
CloseFile(0)
