Word 2002 SP2 - SaveAs HTML oddity when using DsoFramer

[Urs Eichmann]

Hi all
I know DsoFramer is not supported by MSFT, but perhaps somebody can
still help me with a very strange problem.

I'm using DsoFramer to embed Word XP in a VB.NET 2003 application. I
save all documents as HTML, using ActiveDocument.SaveAs
<filename>,wdFormatHTML. Now I discovered that, if the document contains
textboxes (in a drawing canvas), after saving as HTML, all the boxes are
aligned to the left border of the pages. The original position is lost.

But - now comes the strange part - if I save the exact same document
interactively as HTML (NOT in DsoFramer), the text box positions are
retained and everything is well.

It also works if I use OLE automation with a Word instance in a separate
window instead of DsoFramer.

Is there somehow a different HTML converter used if embedded within
DsoFramer? Does anybody have an idea how to work around this?

Any help would be great.

Urs

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you wants to convert the doc file into html in a
embeded container in windows form.
If I have any confusion, please feel free to let me know.

As you know, we do not provide support for this software. But I think you
may try to host an webbrowser control on the winform and then host the word
document in the webbrowser.
HOWTO: Use the WebBrowser Control to Open an Office Document in Visual
Basic .NET (304643)
