Creating a word document

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by kebrahimi 5

Hello everyone. I am new to Power Automate. I am trying to create a flow in which a Word document is created, some text is written inside in separate lines and then it's saved in my OneDrive. Something like the following:

 

Line 1

Line 2

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

    If your data contains only text, save in OneDrive a .txt file that can be open by Word without any problems.  That can be accomplished using a simple OneDrive - Create File action. Using this solution, the flow needs only standard connectors and there is no need for a Power Automate license.

     

    If having a .doc or .docx file as result is a must in your project (and you have a PowerAutomate license) then you need to define a Template docx file with only a Plain Text Content Control (don't forget to check Allow carriage returns, as you have multiple rows):

    and use the following actions:

    Hope it helps !
