Opening word-documents read-only with OLE

[driessen]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to open a word-document read-only using OLE ?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Michel,

I don't know the answer to your question, but have you considered just converting them to PDFs?

Hint: the Open() method has a ReadOnly parameter.

Friend,

Sintaxis:

Code: Select all  Expand view

  ...
  oWord:FileOpen( cDOCName [, nConfirmConversions [, nReadOnly ;
                           [, nAddToMru [, cPasswordDoc [, cPasswordDot [,
                           nRevert ;
                           [, cWritePasswordDoc [, cWritePasswordDot]]]]]]]] )
  ...


Example:

Code: Select all  Expand view

  ...
   oWord:FileOpen("C:\MY DOCUMENTS\MYWORD.DOC" , , 2 )
  ...

FileOpen() is not a method of Word, or at least it is not documented in the official Word OLE docs.

Here is what i use :

owrd:=Toleauto():new("word.application")
owrd:visible:=.T.
owrd:Documents:open("test.doc",,1) && avec ouverture read only
