May I know if there is a method to extract from word file type into OS?
Also a live snipping features that allow to attach and text editor(make both,underline, changes textfile ,etc)?
Appreciate if anyone can provide the solution, forge or OML file to use in reactive web apps.
Hii @Jia Wen Loo,
Yes, MSWordUtils components that can be used to extract Microsoft Word content into an OutSystems Reactive Web application.
https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/4422/mswordutils
But MSWordUtils does not directly provide live snipping features or a text editor with formatting options. It primarily focuses on extracting and manipulating content from Microsoft Word documents (.docx format).
For live snipping, you could utilize JavaScript libraries like html2canvas or jspdf to capture screenshots and convert them to image or PDF formats. Integrate these libraries using the Native JavaScript Connector to call them from OutSystems code.
For text editing with formatting options, you could explore components like RichTextEditor or Ace Editor. These components provide rich text editing capabilities with various formatting options. Integrate them into your OutSystems application to allow users to edit text with styles, underline, and other formatting. As I know you cannot directly extract style with content from word file.
kind regards,

Hi Sanjay, I have tried to use RichTextEditor, but then I'm unable to design the template into it and display to edit in browser. May I know Is that possible to design the template inside the RichTextEditor? If Yes, appreciate if you can provide the OML file.
Hi @Jia Wen Loo
You can try WordTextExtract forge component, This component reads and retrieve text from a word document (.docx). It also supports search and retrieve text using regex pattern.
Thanks,

Task: I have a word document template and I want to digitalize it using Outsystems reactive web apps so that user can submit directly through the web app. The functionality of the digitalize document should be similar as MS word-like function. Are there any possible ways to digitalize a document with MS Word-like function?
For example: the function should be similar as word for eg like, paste and image, resize image font, change font size, colors etc.
Hi @JW L
Try Web API Clipboard component, which is used to respond to clipboard commands (cut, copy, and paste) as well as to asynchronously read from and write to the system clipboard.
Thanks
