Microsoft Office Document
Generate a Microsoft Office-type document, such as a Word or PowerPoint document, from your choice of predefined report scripts.
These report scripts are comprised of special VISION data access instructions combined with programming in Word and VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). With knowledge in these areas, additional scripts of this kind can be constructed.
Both the documents themselves and the scripts that generate them differ from the ordinary VISION documents, which produce standard Rich Text Format (RTF) documents from an exclusively VISION-specific scripting language.
Only the Office-type documents can show the Office-type learning content in VISION. The ordinary VISION documents are limited to showing only the ordinary RTF and plain-text VISION data.
VISION provides several legacy reports in this area, which are described in the program. To generate one of these reports, follow these instructions: Generate an Instructor or Student Guide Cue Card.
