Sap api for MS Office

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am looking for some api which provides tools to manipulate MS Word documents, I need to write Web DynPro application which generates some report and save it to MS Word document. I found <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ef/3483789514b748b6fe1f145e9685ab/frameset.htm">Example for the Use of an Office Document</a> but it only provides api for opening document in browser. Has anybody found some other api with more capabilities?

Thanks

I just thought that maybe SAP provides some API for MS Office files processing. As far as I know ABAP systems are able to generate doc reports (solution manager). But I am not sure if there is possibility to get programmatically access to those options. Anyway I found OpenOffice API for doc processing I think it`s better then Apache project, what`s more You can save documents in lot`s of formats using the same code to generate it.

Thanks Guys for help.

Michal,

OpenOffice is not Word, which you asked for originally But anyway, it's the better choice...

No it`s not Word, but using OpenOffice api I can generate Word document as well.

Michal,

on possible way of achieving creation/manipulation of MS Word documents is available via the <a href="http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html">Apache POI project (HWPF)</a>. Unfortunately it is still in a rather early state.

Hi,

I guess you can achive this by manipulating the XML instead of looking for API's.
