Notes API driven import of Word document content into Notes rich text fields.
In all versions of Integra prior to 4.1, Word document content was imported into Notes rich text fields using the Notes Client user interface. The method used is basically to copy the Word document content into the Windows Clipboard, to open a rich text field with a special form and to past the Clipboard content into the rich text field. The temporary Notes document is then further processed to get the rich text into the target Notes document.
This method has two side effects: flickering of the screen because of the opening and closing of UI documents and a very low performance for that exact same reason.
With Integra 4.1 a new Notes API driven method is used. The Notes API provides some undocumented functionality to import Word rich text into a Notes rich text field. This new method works much faster and also avoids the UI as the vehicle of getting rich text into Lotus Notes. The new API import is the default method.
Sometimes, the fidelity of both methods differs, thus the old UI driven import might give better results. The example code showing below explains how to switch back to the old UI driven rich text import.
