RTF::Writer margins

bassplayer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Honorable Monks,

I am trying to create an RTF document from database. I have been fiddling with RTF::Writer , but I can't seem to figure out how to control the margins. Does anyone have any insight toward this goal? Has anyone had success creating RTF documents with other modules, such as RTF::Document?

As always, your wisdom is much appreciated.

Take a gander at the RTF Cookbook (search for it if that other link is a 404). It shows you how to do that. Updated: Fixed the link and another another.	[reply]

Depending on your needs you might like Template::RTF. I did use that in production, though that's some time ago.

I had a grizzly rtf project recently. I ended up using a combination of both Document and Writer to do what I needed to. I believe most of my module used RTF::Document using Writer only to deal with code for producing tables. Send me an email at growler at unideal.net and I can hook you up with some embarrasing, ugly code that may help.I wrote some hacks for inserting images that may also be helpful. numbersix	[reply]
