I would like to see a capability similar to the blog post below. It uses SharePoint Designer 2010 workflow to create a document based on a content type that uses a predefined document template and metadata. So you have a list in SharePoint or this could be data from another source. e.g. a Microsoft form or excel file etc. Which is used to populate the metadata. Then have SharePoint create a document based on that data. At the moment I see no way of creating an item in a document library of a specific content type. Not sure if you can do it with the REST api. https://sharepointlibrarian.com/2016/09/30/sp-workflow-to-create-a-document/
On a similar line of thinking, a more streamlined mechanism to scrape the content of a Word document, and to append another document with that text is something I've had requested from functional users on a few occassions.
This feels like something that MS would have on a list of low-hanging fruit.
Will the connector be updated to allow for Rich Text SharePoint Columns to be able to populate a Rich Text Microsoft Word Control? Right now it tries to import html in a plain text, however our business case would really benefit from having a direct rich text to rich text look (ie bullut points, bolds, underlines ect passed over). Right now this connector will not display a Word Column if it was made in Rich Text Format.
Exactly - it is only for premium accounts, while I am getting a beautiful document from a free form publisher file in Google Docs. It's disappointing that even as a high school technology coordinator, we do not have access to this premium feature - I would suggest making this feature included in basic package, at least for educational organizations.
Looks like MS wantes one of their connectors to be premium and they chose this one. a shame, as I'd really like to use it but my company does not allow me to upgrade and I don't see why this is one is more "premium" than others.
This new Word Online connector that was shipped last week should help accomplish your scenario.
