TppRichText and MS Word Object

rbuser

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.
