Overview

Microsoft Word is one of the supported editors that can be used by report generator of RadiMation.

All the codes that are allowed by the report generator can also be included in a Microsoft Word document. Some things that are possible:

  • Report generator codes can be include alone
  • Report generator codes can be included in a table
  • Report generator codes can be included in a header or footer
  • Report generator codes can be included in a heading
  • Report generator codes can be combined with other text and report generator codes in a cell of a table
  • Report generator codes that include texts into the final report are allowed.
  • Report generator codes that include tables into the final report are allowed.
  • Report generator codes that include pictures into the final report are allowed.

Inclusion of other files

When the test specific report generator templates or the '||InsertFile(<OTHER WORD DOCUMENT>)||' code is used, the data from another Word document will be included. The contents of the other document will be inserted at the location of the report generator code.

The filename of a Bitmap or JPEG file can also be specified as part of the '||InsertFile(<PICTURE FILENAME>)||' report generator code. The corresponding picture will then be included at the location of the report generator code. This function is similar to the 'Insert Picture, From File' action of Microsoft Word.

Macros

With the report generator code "||RunMacro(<MACRO NAME>)||" it is possible to start a predefined macro function. The '<MACRO NAME>' may be:

  • a macro defined by Microsoft Word
  • the name of a public function in a public macro module
  • a macro name predefined by the Microsoft Word report generator editor

It is not possible to call macro functions that require an argument, so only argument-less macro functions can be called.

The list of macro functions that are implemented by the Microsoft Word report generator editor are:
