Hi,
As you know, using the Print component of Ultimate Forms you can print your list or document library items in the format of your own design. Use it to create purchase orders, expense reports or anything else you need. Once created, the print-out can be sent to the printer, converted to PDF, emailed and, since recently, exported to Microsoft Excel.
Now we are also adding the ability to export to Microsoft Word. You can use this feature to generate and even email Word documents based on your list data. And, as always, it's super-easy, just click on the familiar Word icon in the print preview page, no special configuration is required. The document will be generated in Open Document (docx) format - the standard MS Word format and can be edited and modified like any other document. It will even preserve and embed any images you have in your print-out. And you can control the margins, page size and orientation directly from the print template settings.
Have you tried automating your print functions? Using our Actions, you can completely automate generation and distribution of print-outs. As with any aciton, it can be triggerred on any change, on a timer or manually by a user. Once triggerred, it will fetch the item[s] to be printed, use the print template to generate a document, save it in the desired format (HTML, PDF, Excel and now Word), then email it, save it to a document library or save it as a list item attachment. It's a great way to create smart, sophisticated business applications without being a developer!
The new feature is already added to the Microsoft 365 version of the app and will be added to the on-prem version in the next version.
