Word docs in WF

[Patrik vanOdijk]

Well, I tried that one and then again my own, and it seems as it works if I save
the word document and when I select "Back" I answer NO on the question if I want
to save again. Any other combination will result in a short dump. I also saw the
same behaviour when creating the actual template. If I save and then answer YES
on the question at Back, there will be a shortdump. But the template is actually
created.
 
So it seems as it works if the user only saves once, either save and then back
and answer "NO" or take back and answer "YES". If you make a misstake once even
if you execute the workitem again, it is impossible to fix it. You can execute
and finish the workitem, but the word document is lost.

Hello Patrik,
 
have you tested the demo workflow (I guess: SWUI_DEMO or something like that)
for integration of a word document? This could help to find out if there is a
general problem or just a workflow/template specific one. If the demo works
correctly you could problably copy parts from it.
 
Did you use a  wizard or did you create the tasks hands-on?
 
Generally speaking I think that the Word-Connection in 4.6 is more stable than
ever.
 
Regards,
 
Markus

Hello.
 
I'm trying to implement a step to create a word document for a word template in
workflow. I have created the template and included the create step in my
workflow definition. When I process the workflow the word document is created
and displayed correctly, but when I try to save or back out from it I get a
shortdump (MESSAGE_TYPE_X).
 
Is this something that anyone has experienced? Have I missed anything? I'm on a
4.6B installation.
