Can I create a new Textmaker document containing the fields from a table?

Hello

I have a document. It's basically a form made up entirely from tables.

What I'd like to do is take the contents of one or more cells in a table and pass them to a new document so I could have an entry on my form in a new document.

I can do this to different sections in a document in plain Textmaker, but it would be more elegant if I could do it with a script and create a new document rather than a plain one.

Thanks for looking! I'd appreciate any insights.

Could you please attach a sample file or send one to forum (at)softmaker.com?

Thanks for your quick reply Sven-l.
What I'd like to do is take have a form like the attached example "The new form.tmdx" with four textboxes, and have people fill it out in form mode.
I'd then like to write a script which generates a file based on the attached template "Data to here please.tmvx" with the data from the filled out form in the four textboxes.
Ideally, I would like the document generated from the template to be named after two textboxes.
Is it possible?

No, I don't think it would work with a script. What you could do in TextMaker is to attach a database (e.g. an dbf file) with your database in it. Then insert the database fields into the table (mail merge).

It's quite a complicated form. I think it might be a bit clunky to just enter the fields into a database.

I can see myself having to write something in Python to do this job. Thanks anyway.
