A report layout for address labels using Word's label-table
TiinaNov 3 2008 — edited Nov 4 2008Hello,
I sent the following question to the BIPublisher forum, but didn't get any answers. Maybe it wasn't the right forum. I'm a little desperate with this problem, because I have spent days trying to solve this. Could somebody please help with this ? :
I'm not familiar with BI Publisher, but I should only do one thing with it, which seems rather easy. I need a rtf layout to be used in APEX to create an address label PDF-report. I tried using mail merge to create an empty table for the labels and added XSL (I suppose ?) element <?for-each:ROW?> in the first cell to loop over each ROW (which contains an address) in XML file. The problem is that I haven't found a way this would put the next row (address) to the next cell (filling first all the cells of the first row and so on). The previous loop only places one address in each table row. I read about for-each@column element in another thread, could it be used here ?
The rtf layout is created in Word with BIPublisher's template builder for Word.
I have for example tried placing XSL or FO elements inside the loop or marks that would call Word's own NextCell routine but haven't found anything.
