How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

Hi All,
I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WJ

Hello,
You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.

  • On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

    The document format is too old. Download the free LibreOffice, and then open this Word '95 document with it. Then export to a different filename.doc, or filename.docx, and then open in Pages.

    Did you save over the 'old' file - and now you want to recover it? AFAIK, it can't be done - that's what "Save as..." is for.

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • How do I Launch a Microsoft WORD Document using AciveX from testStand

    Hello All:
    I would like to launch a Word document from within Teststand. I would also like to have the ability to search the document for particular sections of the document. I can not find any sequence file examples that even comes close to demonstrating any of this.
    Thanks...

    Hello Craig,
    I have attached an example that will demonstrate this for you. You may need to change the Word Server to match the version of Word that you have installed. This can be done by right clicking on each ActiveX step and select Specify Module. Under Automation Server, scroll down the list to Microsoft Word... and select it.
    This is primarily an example to demostrate calling Microsoft Word from TestStand. If you require additional functionality from the Microsoft Word ActiveX server then you should refer to the API reference help for Microsoft Word.
    Hope this helps!
    Bob

  • Open a Microsoft Access file using LV

    Hi, 
        When my VI finishes executing I would like it to Open up a Microsoft Access file and delete an Excel Table.  I have gotten it to delete the Excel Table, however, it will not open the Access file.  I have tried using Open File and I have tried open/create/replace, but they are not working.  I am almost positive I am putting the directory and file extentsion right as well.  I am using LV 6.1.  
    Thanks 

    I have recently added data-basing using labview and access.  I am using labview 7.0 and the DB toolkit.  I have no problem connecting to access using the jet 4.0 engine, where I can read modify and edit access data.  What are you trying to delete? a table, remove entries or delete the entire file itself.  There are two ways to connect to access, using an activeX control or through ODBC.  I have never used activeX for access but have used it for excel, this was not too difficult but there is a lot of methods and properties to wade through to get things working.  I might be able to help you, but will need a little more info on what you need to do with access.  Using the DB toolkit and ODBC, you will not need access on the machine to use the database, which is a nice option if you plan on distributing the application.  I am a DB novice but have been learning fast, I think Mike Porter knows alot about labview and database connectivity, hopefuly he will help out here.

  • How can I open a microsoft publisher file on my ipad

    I have a bunch of publisher files I need to port over and can't find a program to open them with. I have tried keynote, pages, documents to go and quickoffice. Please tell me there is something out there instead of having to redo them all.

    Sorry, Publisher uses a proprietary format that only Publisher itself could open. I'm not aware of any application for an iPad that can open those files. There are some third-party services that purport to be able to convert Publisher files to .doc, but I don't know if those services work well. Otherwise you'll have to copy out the objects and text in the Publisher file and paste them into a Word document which you could then open on the iPad in Pages, Documents To Go, or another app that can edit Word documents.
    There are also products and services that say they can convert Publisher files to PDF, if you just need to be able to view them on the iPad.
    Regards.
