Microsoft Formats and Transformers
FME 2018 introduces a new set of transformers and formats for Microsoft-related formats. These are:
| Reader | Writer | Transformer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excel | Existing | Existing | New: ExcelStyler |
| Word | None | New | New: MSWordStyler |
| PowerPoint | None | New | New: PowerPointStyler |
In short, FME 2018 has new writers for Word and PowerPoint, and new styling transformers for all three formats. An Excel reader and writer has existed in FME for a long time, but the writer has new formatting options that can be fulfilled using the ExcelStyler.
