>1. What approach did you use to get the Word RTF file into the memo field? (please be specific)

I save the template using MS Word in an RTF file then open the file using Windows Notepad. I copy the content from the Notepad and paste it into a memo field.

>2. How are you loading the RTF template from within your program? (ie., LoadTemplate/LoadTemplateFile)

I'm loading the template into the datastream from the memo field using the following command:

m.nstream = m.ortf.loadtemplate(REPTTMPL.Template)

I'm using the following command to copy the category group and insert the category title:

IF ! EMPTY(m.cLastCategory) AND (! m.cLastCategory == category)
m.ortf.CopyGroup(m.nStream, 'Category', 'Item')
ENDIF

IF NOT m.cLastCategory == category
m.cLastCategory = category
m.ortf.InsertText(m.nStream, 'Category', TRIM(category))
ENDIF

I'm using the following to copy and insert the details:

SCAN
IF ortf.IsDirty(m.nStream, 'Item')
ortf.CopyGroup(m.nStream, 'Item')
ENDIF
temp = ' ' + ALLTRIM(empl_per.fullname)
m.ortf.InsertText(m.nstream, 'Item', temp)
ENDSCAN

I was having difficulties filling in multiple items in a group when I used code like this:

ortf.CopyGroup(m.nStream, 'START', 'END')

The results displayed with all the records in field1 showing in the first item and all the records in field2 showing in the second item, etc. rather than the record1, field1, field2, etc., then record2, field1, field2, etc. I changed the template so there were no hard paragraph breaks in a group and the entire group was just one paragraph. Then I could use CopyGroup with just one reference to the group, e.g. 'Item' as opposed to 'START' and 'END' and the data displayed correctly. I have no idea why this worked and the other didn't.

I then use the following to save the data stream to an RTF file and open TXText Control which automatically opens the RTF file.

m.ortf.generatefile(m.nstream, 'output.RTF')
RUN /N1 CMS_WP.EXE

I appreciate your time and your help. Thanks!
