TppRichText and MS Word Object

edited August 2003 in Devices
I have old report, with TppRichText object, and inside this object there's
an MS Word Object embedded (another Rich Text). That's important - it it
not really Rich Text - it is an MS Word object.

When printing this report to printer everything s fine.
When printing to a PDF file it hangs the application.
When printing to a HTML file it prints without this object.
When printing to a Graphic file it prints all well.

Any help ?

    Are you using Waler's TExtraDevices or Pragnaan's devices?

    The TppRichText replies on Delphi's TRichEdit implementation. It depends on
    how your 3rd party device classes use our rich text stream of the draw
    commands to generate the PDF and HTML files.

    I found a little issue with Pragnaan's TExtradevices export of RichText when
    there is an object embedded - in my case, the object was a MathType equation
    and was never exported. I traced the reason to the handling of the rich edit
    data. A simple patch of their source was enough to allow export to all the
    formats.
    If you want more info, I can send it on.
