Re: Word + win32ole - how to find formatting of a word?

HI! I'm trying to use Ruby and win32ole to parse a Word document. So
far, I'm able to extract the style and text of each paragraph. That
works great to convert it into individual divs (in the HTML CSS sense).
Now, inside the paragraphs, there are certain words that have special
formatting (for e.g. the name of a command which is in monospace) - I'm
trying to find how to extract those special cases. Does anyone know how
to achieve that?
Dear Mohit,
you could save the Word file as an html and then extract the relevant information...
I did that using OpenOffice and got a file containing the font information in the following form.
<BODY LANG="en-US" DIR="LTR">
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">A command in <FONT FACE="Linux Libertine">Linux
Libertine</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">A text in <FONT FACE="Bitstream Charter, serif">Bitstream
Charter</FONT></P>
</BODY>
If you read in the text of that file as a String, you can then find the relevant bits using regexps.
Best regards,
Axel
