ANN: WordReport 1.0 release and introductory sale

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Currry,
I'm really looking forward to trying this but I can't expand the zip file that I downloaded from your site - I get an error "Unable to unarchive (error 1 operation not permitted).  This is on a Mac running OSX 10.6.  Other .zip files work fine and I've tied putting your zip file in different folders in case there is a permissions problem but still get the same error.

I just updated to 10.6 last night so I guess it's possible this is some sort of OSX bug.

This library lets your LiveCode stacks crank out MS Word and OpenOffice reports of any kind: business documents, contractor invoices, real-estate flyers, mail merge, product catalogs, software data reports, educational worksheets, band concert posters, customer service letters, or whatever else you dream up. (In fact, the demo stack includes sample code and templates for three of those scenarios.)

WordReport is self-contained and doesn't need any word processing software to create reports, but you'll need MS Word or OpenOffice to create the templates. The demo stack will get you off to a quick start exploring capabilities, and a friendly User Guide explains everything.

It handles Unicode and as a bonus, in addition to the unlimited formatting in your template, you can include basic styles within your export data for extra emphasis on the fly. It does headers and footers too. And tables. (And number formatting with commas if you need it.) Everything you need to make customers and clients happy with great-looking reports, while improving your own back office workflow too.

I'll be finishing it up as time allows, and as promised, those who purchase WordLib at full price before the WordOut release will receive an export library discount.)
