Microsoft Word

The Microsoft Word writer in FME allows writing features to Word documents. The writer only has a single parameter, that to define a Word template to use.

The data sent to the writer must also first be styled using the MSWordStyler transformer.

MSWordStyler

The MSWordStyler transformer allows the creation of various content types:

...with the output of that looking like this:

Map features cannot be written directly to the Microsoft Word writer, but can be written as an image by first rasterizing the data with an ImageRasterizer or MapnikRasterizer transformer.

Write Order

As you might expect, features are written to the Word document in the order they arrive, so a workspace author can control the document by controlling the order of features using a Sorter transformer.
