[Solved] Building a macro for inserting section

I think I fall in almost the same case as merbeth.

I´m replacing MS Office by Libre Office in an VB.Net (VS 2010) desktop application.

Running the writerdemo, I could run the application.

Now, when I replaced code calling to Writer instead of MS Word, the application the executes the word processor is not compiled. I get no error messages, but I get one warning that says "There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "x86" and the processor architecture of the reference "cli_cppuhelper", "AMD64". This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project."

I already built as x86 and as x64, but I get no compilation of the application. To me, seems like the dll´s were built with AMD64 architeture. I tried also naming as "AMD64", but no solution.

Can you give me some help ?

Install the 64-bit variant of LibreOffice for Windows.

About the previous thread I wrote, it was resolved after installing the most recente dayly compile.

Villeroy, thanks, I´m already using x64 version.

After this, I got that application compiled.

Thanks,

Dears,

I looked all over the history, and other papers, and I didn´t find any example of how to insert section in a document.

I´m working a code for replacing the msword by libre, and there exist two sections that I insert.

I´m doing it with VB.Net, but giving me some idea how doing this as a Basic macro, will be of a great help.

Using the Object Inspector, I opened the branch "XTextSectionsSupplier", hoping to find there something sounding as the way to resolve this, but I couldn´t.

Could you be kind helping me to resolve this ?

In advance, my best thanks,
Roberto Vieira.

Thx, Lupp, for your repply.

Beside others, and searching over all, I read many times the indicated paper, and, as I told, I could´nt arrive to a solution. But, it was there that I found the XTextSectionsSupplier service. Starting from this, I looked at the Object Inspector, hoping to find some method to insert.

I know that many ways the codes are implemented at OO Basic is very different than VB. And, yet coming since DOS 3.2, with OO Basic I´m very new.

Roberto, have a look at this:

Maybe that will help you further
