RE: Microsoft Word and the iSeries

I have the book.  It's only 64 pages.  Could be a lot cheaper but it does
what it says.  There is a CD included that may be uploaded to your 400.

It uses .RTF word docs.  You have to write an RPG program for every template
you use.  You shuffle the templates and the updated templates back and forth
though CPYFRMSTMF and CPYTOSTMF.

HTH,

Craig

Hi List

Has anybody got or read the book "Microsoft Word and the iSeries" by G.
Wayne Hawks?

I have a customer who would like to have their AS400 (and I use the name
generally) data incorporated into Word documents.  At a price of $395 (or
£395 in the UK) I want to be sure that I can achieve what they want using
the book for guidance before spending that much money.

Are there other alternatives available for getting data into Word?  Ideally
what they would like is to be able to create a template in Word and generate
a report using the template.

Thanks

Jonathan
