Color in a document .doc
Dec 23, 2011 at 7:07pm
I use dev-c++ and I want to put color into a document. doc that I make in the same program c++, but I don't know how to do it. To put color I use an action of windows.h (textattribute) which change the color and print a few numbers with colors on the screen. Now I would like to show the same (with the same shape, style and colors) in this document. Doc.
thanks
thanks

Isnt .doc a binary file? How does one affect such file with c++?

the office has a function which decodes / encodes the text and turns it in code ascii to code normal. Therefore the treatment in c++ of a document .doc is identical to a .txt file

The file is still formatted in such a way that may or may not be introduced or have the ability to be manipulated by that function. Word uses proprietary formats after all...

If by ".doc" file you are talking about a Microsoft Word file, then you are hopelessly out of luck. You'll want to manipulate such files using a COM/OLE interface -- which isn't particularly hard, but has a pretty steep learning curve.
If you are talking about something else, you'll need to be much more explicit about what you want to do.

anytime I mean a .doc document as a Microsoft Word document because I need that it recognizes the characters of the ASCII code, therefore not having succeeded in a document. txt. If what I said above (put the same colors shown by the console screen) is easier to do it with a txt document and you know how to recognize the characters of the code ascii, tell me please.
