Jean Marie,
Thanks for your help and bug fixes.
I set up an oowriter template file containing 2 separate tables and 2 'sections' formatted for 2 or 3 columns.
I thought I could locate the tables by using their names, but that did not work.
I couldn't see how to use getTableList because I could not see how to translate a member of that list to a table name or identify what the elements referred to.
I had to add some text into the table and then use the select ElementsbyContent for example:
my @list = $b_content->selectElementsByContent('4_col);
The only way I could see to find all the components of the template file was by going through the document paragraph by paragraph:
for (0..100) {
my $content=$b_content->getParagraphText($_);
print "$_ ==> $content\n" if $content;}
Is there a way to access/create a reference to a table by way of its name ?
Is there a way to use the itelms in the getTableList to identify to which table it refers ?
I'm a bit puzzled by appendElement. I used it as in the example:
my $root_element = $content->getBody;
$content->appendElement($root_element,$list[0]);
And it appended the table into the middle of my document.
How would I go about appending to some other location in the target document ?
Is there an easier way to transfer an oowriter table from one document to another ?
Finally I did not see anything in the documentation about using 'sections'. I wanted to be able to designate portions of a page or document as having more than column.
When I tried to copy a section template from one document to the next, it did not seem to work as it displayed only 1 column (and not the 2 that I expected).
Are oowriter 'sections' supported ?
Thanks again.
Bob
BTW you are welcome to reply to bob@chicopmr.org. I sure like the idea of the cpanforum, but it needs a bit of work. Posting in HTML is a pain -- as far as I am concerned. |
