reading data from microsoft word

[Akimzhan]

Hello! My name is Akim. I am beginner at LABVIEW. I'd like to know can LABVEIW connect with Microsoft Word. I mean reading information from Microsoft Word for data processing in LABVEIW. Could you help me please?

Hi Akim,

you can "connect" to Word - either using RGT (Report Generation Toolkit) or basic ActiveX functions. (RGT is also using ActiveX under the hood.)

I am beginner at LABVIEW.

I recommend to take the free beginner courses…

Thanks for your answer and recommendation. I'll try!

May I ask why you are using Word as a way to store data? Usually Excel is much more adept at storing data, but I often use text files for things that humans don't need to look at very often.

I'm using this platform for the task given to me for an independent solution. In our country, teachers often use files with the extension .doc
