Classic ASP and Formatting

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am using classic asp and I have 2 issues:

  1. want to set the style of a paragraph to one in my word document. The style is called “e-indent-nospace”. How do I do this? Here is a code snippet.
set asposeLicense = Server.CreateObject("Aspose.Words.License")
call asposeLicense.SetLicense(Server.Mappath("Aspose.Words.lic"))
set comHelper = Server.CreateObject("Aspose.Words.ComHelper")
set builder = CreateObject("Aspose.Words.Documentbuilder")
set docSource = comHelper.Open(dirTemplates + bookStem + ".doc")
builder.Document = docSource
call builder.moveToParagraph(1, -1)
'-- set a user defined style of "e-indent-nospace"
docSource.Save(dirOutputEBook + filestem + ".pdf")
  1. I want to get all my fonts in an ePub and I was told to use the following, however I am using classic ASP with the code listed above. How would I do the following in classic asp?
Document doc = new Document(@"c:\test\pan-boilerplate-ebook.doc");
HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
saveOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Epub;
saveOptions.ExportFontResources = true;
doc.Save(@"C:\test\outWithFontsEmbedded.epub", saveOptions);

Hi Christina,

Thanks for your patience.

Regarding the question you asked in your second point, you need to create a wrapper class in C#/VB.NET if you want to use Aspose.Words for .NET via COM Interop in classic ASP. For example, you can create a wrapper that uses latest Aspose.Words for .NET assembly as follows:

  1. Open Visual Studio and create “Class Library” project and add a reference to latest Aspose.Words assembly.
  2. Create method, which accepts two parameters (input document path and output document path). Here is source code of the wrapper:
namespace AsposeComWrapper
{
    public class Methods
    {
        public Methods()
        {}
        public void ExportToEpub(object inPath, object outPath)
        {
            Document doc = new Document((string) inPath);
            HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
            saveOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Epub;
            saveOptions.ExportFontResources = true;
            doc.Save((string) outPath, saveOptions);
        }
    }
}
  1. Now, you should make your class library signed and visible for COM.
  2. After building the project, you should register the DLL using the following command:
regasm / codebase AsposeComWrapper.dll
  1. Once your helper DLL is registered, you can use it to export Word document to EPUB. Here is sample code:
<%
Dim lic
Set lic = CreateObject("Aspose.Words.License")

lic.SetLicense("C:\test\Aspose.Words.lic")
Dim comHelper
Set comHelper = CreateObject("AsposeComWrapper.Methods")
comHelper.ExportToEpub "C:\test\pan-boilerplate-ebook.doc", "C:\test\out.epub"

%>

I hope, this will help.

Best Regards,

Hi Christina,

Regarding your first question (want to set the style of a paragraph to one in my word documen). Please use the same approach shared by Awais. Please use the following code snippet to set style of paragraph in ASP.

namespace AsposeComWrapper
{
    public class Methods
    {
        public Methods()
        {}
        public void ExportToEpub(object inPath, object outPath)
        {
            Document doc = new Document((string) inPath);
            HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
            saveOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Epub;
            saveOptions.ExportFontResources = true;
            doc.Save((string) outPath, saveOptions);
        }
        public void ParagraphFormat(object doc, object builder, object stylename)
        {
            Style style = ((Document) doc).Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, (string) stylename);
            style.Font.Name = "Verdana";
            style.Font.Size = 15;
            // Apply the paragraph style to the current paragraph in the document and add some text.
            ((DocumentBuilder) builder).ParagraphFormat.Style = style;
        }
    }
}

Asp Code:

<%
Dim doc1
Set doc1 = CreateObject("Aspose.Words.Document")
Dim builder
set builder = CreateObject("Aspose.Words.Documentbuilder")
Dim comHelper
Set comHelper = CreateObject("AsposeComWrapper.Methods")
builder.Document = doc1
comHelper.ParagraphFormat doc1, builder, "MyStyle1"
builder.write "Aspose.Words"
doc1.save "c:\out.docx"
%>
