Version History

Go to the CompileErrors section for instructions on how to upgrade your SendToWindows (if you're upgrading from a version prior to version 1.71).

Version 1.81 Gold: Released April 21, 2008

Fixed an issue with the file extension not being correctly detected or replaced because of a clipping issue.
Added SendToWord.wordFileName and SendToExcel.excelFileName. These properties store the Word and Excel names for the saved documents as reported by Word and Excel, including the full path. These will be blank until the document is actually saved.
Fixed: The file name is run now uses the file name returned by the actual Office application (for Word and Excel).
Documentation format update and cleanup, moved the History to a separate document, fixed all links, reduced the documentation size and moved all formatting to CSS. The HTML is moving towards clean XHTML Strict compatibility.
Fixed compatibility with PDF Tools.
Fixed: If Default color is color:none, then force fontcolor to color:black.
Change: Saving in Word uses longpath() (rather than path())
Fixed: PDFXchange3 support - was setting the PrintPreviewer template variable incorrectly (deprecated values).

Version 1.80 Gold: Released March 6, 2008

Template change - clears the default Excel extension. When an sending to Excel, let Excel determine the output extension - otherwise an incorrect document format could be created (in Office 2007, when specifying an xls file).
Object change - class property to preserve data format (without adding a ' in to strings where necessary).

Version 1.79 Gold: Released February 29, 2008

TXA fix - fix badly positioned checkbox introduced in TXAs in 1.78.

Version 1.78 Gold: Released February 29, 2008

Include 'Date using True-Date format' for Excel exports checkbox into the ABC TXAs (was only in the legacy TXAs).

Version 1.77 Gold: Released October 4, 2007

Minor Template cosmetic changes.

Version 1.76 Gold: Released October 4, 2007

Fixed: Problems when saving Excel spreadsheets in Office 2003 and older, this was a problem with the OfficeInside version check added for Office 2007 support. Please ensure that you upgrade to OfficeInside 2.61 in order to use this release of SendTo.
Added: Automatic file extention handling for versions of Office older than Office 2007, this ensures that no extension needs to be specified for Excel and the correct extension will be added and previewed
Fixed: Excel being displayed when a document was being sent to Excel. By default the document creation is done in the background and Excel is not visible.

Version 1.75 Gold: Released October 4, 2007

Added: The class automatically converts numbers passed as the Excel start column to the correct column name, and checks for invalid column names, which are reset to the first column - 'A'.
Added: Support for Excel 2007, automatically detects the version of Excel installed and handles it accordingly
Note: If you support Excel 2007 it is strongly recommended that you either do no specify the file extension or ensure that you specify the .XLSX extension when saving in Excel 2007. Saving a new XLSX format document with a .XLS extension will result in Excel displaying a warning message when opening. There is a new method in OfficeInside to check the version number of Office - oiExcel.GetOfficeVersion().
Important: You MUST be using Office Inside 2.60 or later for this release of SendTo. Please ensure that you upgrade OfficeInside our you will get compile errors on the new GetOfficeVersion() method.
