- Short: Modular spreadsheet importer for FW
- Author: Ron Goertz
- Uploader: rgoertz@wsu.edu
- Type: util/rexx
-
- FWSI (Final Writer Spreadsheet Import) is a modular ARexx program for direct
- importing (as a text/graphic object) of spreadsheet data into FinalWriter.
- Developed for FW 4.0, the program may also work with earlier versions of Final
- Writer.
-
- FWSI is *capable* of importing many parameters of a spreadsheet, but not all
- spreadsheets are capable of exporting all those parameters. I have included
- PCALC.fwsi for importing from Professional Calc, FCALC.fwsi for importing from
- Final Calc, and CSV for importing Comma (or any other delimiter) Separated
- Value ASCII data.
-
- The Final Calc import module is the most sophisticated module, allowing import
- of most parameters. The ProCalc module only allows the import of height and
- width data in addition to the cell contents, and the CSV module can obviously
- only import the cell contents.
-
- I was unable to get the ARexx interface of EasyCalc working, and since the
- docs aren't included in the TurboCalc demo version, I was unable to create a
- TCALC.fwsi module. I know TurboCalc has some features (such as multi-line
- rows) that are currently unsupported by FWSI; if someone wants to send me a
- legal copy of TurboCalc I will gladly modify FWSI to incorporate as many
- TurboCalc features as possible :-)
-
- FWSI.rexx may not be modified and then distributed in any way; distribution of
- the original, unmodified version of the macro is allowed by any no-cost-
- for-the-software means. FWSI modules (that is, those ARexx programs ending in
- .fwsi and intended for use in conjunction with FWSI.rexx) may be created,
- modified, and distributed as desired.
