OIPI 4.1 (OpenInsight Specific)

I copied the code from the OIPI export document posted, and this works OK.
I tried the same techniques in my app.
The PDF worked perfectly and I was beginning to get excited.
It even supported my document watermarks, lines, fonts and everything.
I then tried the RTF and HTML and now I need a glass of cab-sav.
Are the TEXTXY and other positioning commands supported in this export format.
My documents created text which just seemed to be all squashed up at the top of the page.
Any ideas?

Colin,
TEXTXY is supported and documented in the help.

I think you missed my point…. RTF and HTML do not format with this command… at least in my program.
Is TEXTXY supported for RTF and HTML format export.
I note that there is a TEXTRTF command, but how can I place text in specific positions using this AND get RTF.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong.
PDF was 100% perfect but the other formats were all squashed up.
I can send the files to you if you want to have a look.
Thanks
Colin

Colin,
Send me the code and I'll try and figure out why all text is at the top. My e-mail is [email protected].

Hey Colin,
I just saw this issue today, and I'm sure Sean has worked out this issue with you by now. I think I need to improve the documentation, because most people have discovered this the hard way too. The PDF is the only format that will export everything perfectly every time. RTF and HTML are basically paragraph based formats, so anything that explicitly sets the position in an OIPI report will not export correctly for RTF and HTML. So POS, TEXTXY, BMP, HEADER will not work. Also do not forget to look at the EXPORTDATA message with HTML to make BMPs work.
