VMS Help CONVERT, /DOCUMENT, CDA Base Service Converters, Domain Converter  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    You may want to convert tabular input files to document output
    files so that you can include textual representations of data
    tables or spreadsheets in reports and other documents. You will,
    however, lose cell borders, headers, grid lines, all formulas,
    and font types when converting a tabular input file to a document
    output file.

    When you convert a tabular input file (for example, a DTIF file)
    to a document output file, the file format first undergoes an
    automatic domain conversion from a table format to a document
    format. The output is then converted to the document format you
    specified.

    You can create an options file containing processing options that
    apply to any CDA supported tabular file format for which there is
    an input converter. Data tables and spreadsheets are examples of
    tabular file formats.

    To convert tabular input files to document output files, use
    the DTIF_TO_DDIF format name, followed by the processing options
    listed below. Specify the DTIF_TO_DDIF processing options in
    addition to the processing options for a particular tabular input
    file format and a particular document output file format.
