Basic Word-processing Function

[Kevin60 0]

I wish to write my own Script Writing program at some time but I need some basic help.  Does anyone know if there is a free word processing component available or could anybody on the forum give me some pointers on where to start. I basically need to know how to create new pages as in Microsoft Word and show them on screen. Any advice given would be gratefully accepted.  I am using Delphi 7.

You should upgrade to a newer version of Delphi. Most maintained components will not support Delphi 7. 

 

To get a tabbed user interface it is easy. Place a TPageControl onto the form. When the user selects a new file option, you add a TTabsheet. You can dynamically create the user interface in the new tab or for a cleaner design create a frame containing the user components.

 

For an editor component you could try to find an older version of Synedit that can be used in Delphi 7.

There is TRichEdit component included with Delphi.
