Desktop Office Integration and Email

Question

Dear Colleagues:
I have developed a Desktop Office Integration application that retrieves WORD documents from a BDS Content Server, customizes the document with BP data, emails the document to the BP as an attachment, and associates the document with the BP (Document tab).  It works well.
I am now trying to figure out how to process the document and use the text as the body of an email message instead of an attachment - I cannot assume that all email recipients use MS Word.
I have tried several FMs that convert raw data to either strings or RTF format but, inspite of my efforts, I get conversion errors.
If anyone has tried something similar I would appreciate any advice.
Regards,
Steve

hi.
i dont know if this will be useful to you. because i did not not understand your exact requirement. are you using OAOR tr code?
You mean to say you want to  a word document which was uploaded through bds document navigator.
The code given below actually searches for a string and replaces all occurences of it with a new string..
IF old_search_string ne search.
       get number of document characters.
        GET PROPERTY OF document_cntl_handle-obj
                       'characters' = ocharacters.
        GET PROPERTY OF ocharacters 'count' = char_count.
        char_position = 0.
        old_search_string = search.
      ENDIF.
    set range now
     IF char_position >= char_count.
        char_position = 0.
      ENDIF.
            CALL METHOD OF document_cntl_handle-obj 'Range' = orange
      EXPORTING #1 = char_position #2 = char_count.
    search now
      GET PROPERTY OF orange 'Find' = ofind.
      IF not replace is initial.
       DATA: is_available type i.
       CALL METHOD proxy->has_wordprocessor_interface
           IMPORTING is_available = is_available
                     retcode      = retcode.
       IF is_available = 1 .
          CALL METHOD proxy->get_wordprocessor_interface
                       IMPORTING wp_interface = wp_ref
                                 retcode = retcode.
           IF RETCODE EQ C_OI_ERRORS=>RET_OK.
              CALL METHOD wp_ref->replace
                       EXPORTING replace_string = replace
                                 search_string  = search
                                 pos            = 'GLOBAL'
                                 flag           = 'ALL'.
            ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
              ELSE.
*search
        CALL METHOD OF ofind 'Execute'
          EXPORTING  #1 = search       "FindText
                     #2 = false        "MatchCase
                     #3 = false        "MatchWholeWord
                     #4 = false        "MatchWildCards
                     #5 = false        "MatchSoundsLike
                     #6 = true         "MatchAllWordForms
                     #7 = true         "Forward
                     #8 = '1'          "Wrap
                     #9 = true.
        GET PROPERTY OF ofind 'Found' = string_found.
        IF string_found > 0.
          GET PROPERTY OF orange 'Font' = ofont.
          GET PROPERTY OF ofont 'ColorIndex' = color_index.
          IF color_index ne 6.
            color_index = 6.
          ELSE.
            color_index = 11.
          ENDIF.
          SET PROPERTY OF ofont 'ColorIndex' = color_index.
        ENDIF.
        GET PROPERTY OF orange 'End' = char_position.
      ENDIF.
