Import a word document composed in Arabic font (.ttf) into a .fla

Hello Everyone;
I am developing an advance e-book in Flash. My client has composed about 500 books in arabic using Microsoft Word. My client wants search features in this book in which the user will type something in arabic & it will search the ebook text and give him results, so I cannot convert the text into vector or image I have to keep it as text. I want Import a word document composed in Arabic font (.ttf) into a .fla file without losing its formatting. Rightnow I am able to import the font using copy/paste from the word document into Flash, but it changes the font, but I fixed it by changing the text property from "classic text" to "TLF text" which fixed the font. Even though the copy/paste method works without formatting its not practical for my project because there are thousands of pages and copy/pasting them one by one frame by frame is time consuming & not practical.
I need a method or a third party software through which I can convert the word documents into fla or swf keep the font as text & very important without messing up the font and formatting.

3rd Party software that can be tested for free:
print2flash
wordflashpoint

Importing Multiple Word Documents into RH

I know that RH allows users to import word documents, however
I was wondering if there was a way to import multiple word
documents (ala batch style import) instead of importing each
document one at a time.

Colum has good advice. Also, since you're new to this, there
are a few curiosities that occur that can be puzzling to newcomers.
If you have graphics in your Word docs (screenshots, etc.) a new
folder will automatically be created. So if the name of your Word
doc is MYDOC.DOC, graphics will be placed in a new folder called
MYDOC_Files.
Another "hitchhiker" to the process is the creation of a CSS
file automatically created for each Word doc. After the import you
have the choice to reassign any style sheet you like, regardless of
the CSS originally linked.
Another tip if you're new to importing, go to Peter Grainge's
excellent site.

Importing multipage Word document w/hyperlinks into InDesign

I am new to InDesign and I am trying to import a 11 page Word document with hyperlinks into InDesign. For the life of me, I can not figure this out. I try to "put" the file into InDesign but it just imports as a tiny box. Two questions:
1. Does anyone know how to import a Word document where everything is left intact - formatting, line spacing and hyperlinks?
2. Can anyone recommend a good resource for beginners? Trying to learn the software is very challenging.
Thanks in advance for our help!

Matt: The 11 pages of information from Word still have to be laid out to 11 pages (or whatever) in InDesign. The little box you're talking about is a text box you either created before the Place command (with the text cursor waiting inside it) or created when you clicked the "loaded" cursor after the Place command.
You need to resize the box and link it to other boxes for the text to flow from one box to another. This can be a fairly automated procedure once you understand how to work in InDesign; it would require that you have your document designed with, say, a Master Page design, and then different choices of click, shift-click, cmd-click do different things: fill a single text box, fill "threaded" (connected) text boxes on pages you've created, or automatically create new pages as necessary to accommodate all the info you've brought in with the Place command.

Importing the word document in RoboHelp

Hi,
I am importing a word document into Robohelp 7 HTML. But after the import is completed, the entire word document is converted into a single HTML page. My requirement is that each chapter should be created into seperate HTML file based on the heading level. This will help in creating the book based on the heading level. I was able to do this task successfully with RoboHelp X5 but not with any other higher versions!!!!!

Hi there
The key to this is to ensure the Word document has been styled consistently with headings and other formatting. If it's one of the garden variety where folks just painted across text all willy nilly you will indeed see mixed results.
Pay careful attention to the intermediate dialogs you see when importing the document. The second one should offer a way to split on style.
Cheers... Rick

How to remove tab stops at one shot after importing a word document

HI everyone,
This is my first post in Framemaker Community as I am moving from RH to FM.
I have an issue with respect to importing word documents to Framemaker.
After I have import a word to doc to FM multiple tab stops are created.
Now, although I remove the tab stops manually once, If I place my mouse in the next line , the tab stops are seen again.
Is there any shortcut wherein I can remove tab stops at one go after I import a word document in Framemaker.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag

Find: Text: [ \x08 ]

This would change all tabs to ordinary spaces. You can actually just type a tab and space character, but I used the hex notation so you see what you're doing. The space could be any other character(s) you desire, or no characters at all (make sure the To Text: field is empty).
Hex codes?

Importing Microsoft word documents that already have paragraph styles

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months, this was taught to me many months ago but for some odd reason when I tried it myself it didn't work . I have my paragraph styles all set up in my indesign document. I have to import text that another person is giving me. The document that this person is giving me is a Microsoft word document. Someone showed me that you can customize the document in microsoft word, with styles for example: Selecting a part of text and customizing it (making it big and bold for example), then naming that style Heading, and then doing the same for lets say...a subheading. Well after you save the document (the microsoft word document), you are able to import the word document into your indesign file and it's supposed to override the styles from Microsoft Word and customize itself with your own paragraph or character styles that you already have in your indesign document, as long as the name of the styles are the same as the ones you had in microsoft word(which in this case would be heading and subheading). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Convert Word styles to InDesign styles
Here's the info you need. I found it in the InDesign Help section. I needed it, too. The "Show Import Options" is a little box in the lower left hand corner of the screen that comes up when you choose the file you want to place in InDesign. It's easy to miss.
While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.
Do one of the following:
To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-click the Word document.
To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.
Select Preserve Styles and Formatting From Text and Tables.
Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the following options:
If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.
If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.
Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

Can Fireworks CS5 import a Word document?

I just watched a Fireworks CS5 tutorial where the author imported a Word document into Fireworks. The import dialog showed "All readable files" and Word documents just showed up in the list view. When he chose a Word document, he got the "place" cursor and when placed, a new text object was created with text from the imported doc.
I thought that was cool so I wanted to try it myself. When I opened the Import dialog, Word documents don't display in my listview, and the "Files of type" menu doesn't contain "Word" as any of the options. If I choose to show "All files", then choose a Word doc, I get "Could not import the file. Unknown file type."
I'm wondering if I'm missing a converter? Or maybe the tutorial author was using a third-party extension?
FWIW, I'm using Fireworks CS5 and Office 2010 32-bit (although I tried some older docs authored in Word 2003 and 2007 and they don't work either).

Oh, Hi Jim.
First of all, you are one of my favorite Lynda.com teachers. Thanks for working so hard to share this knowledge with us in such a carefully thought out way.
Secondly, the file is "Tour Spotlight.rtf" from Chapter 03 of Fireworks CS5 Rapid Prototyping Exercise Files. Or I should say 'was'.. I've just tried it again on my CS5 install on my other laptop and it imported just fine. I'm not sure why I had an error on the other one...
So, no worries, thanks for your timely response, that is very appreciated, but the problem was on my end.

How do I import a word document without format errors?

I am trying to import a word document into Dreamweaver to turn it into HTML so I can enter it into an email. I don't want to send the email with an attachment, I want to be able to insert it into the body. Dreamweaverclaims to be able to do this successfully. How do I import without error and make it editable?

Word formatted text injects MS junk code into your web pages that you don't want. For best results, only paste unformatted text into DW. Then, use DW's CSS editor to style your text and layout however you wish.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Importing large Word-Documents

Hello together!
I have a big problem with my doctorate thesis. I would like to import a large Word-Document (2.28 MB, about 300 pages) into Acrobat 9 Pro. That doesn't work at all. I can't beleave it. Is Adobe even worse than Microsoft?????!!!!!!!!
It starts to import, but at the point of 7% everything is finish. I tried everything, but I can't import that document. Does anyone have a good idea? That would be really great...
Thank you very much!!
Chris

If it is changing the indices, then you likely have printing metrics turned on (they are off by default in WORD 2007 and on in previous versions). If you want to change the printing metrics, you will have to search through a whole list of choices in the options for WORD. I the meantime, select the Adobe PDF printer and then use ctrl-A, F9 to update your pages and layout (I assume you are using styles and such). The print out should then be correct. The disadvantage is that you would have no bookmarks unless you add them manually in Acrobat.
When you have problems with PDF Maker, open the preferences and start turning off every things (you might want to write down the settings first so that you new what you started with). Then add things in until the PDF creation is broken. Then you know what the major cluprit likely is in the failure to create a PDF.

Importing Microsoft Word document with images to InDesign CS5

Hey,
I'm trying to import a MS Word document that contains inline images to InDesign CS5.
I tried File->Place with checking "Import Inline Graphics" but unfortunately it imports the document without the images, there are blank regions where the images are suppose to be.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Kathy

Yes, aligning image on its own paragraph works, I will skip wraping text inside paragraph, this can be done inside InDesign. Here is one part of Internet PDF books I am talking about, both are in Serbian http://issuu.com/bojan_zivkovic/docs/prikazivanje_slika_u_adobe_photoshop_elements - word + indesign, http://www.scribd.com/doc/49583823/Nau%C4%8Dite-Adobe-Photoshop - indesign only
Basicaly I am writing tutorials then turn them into PDF books, for now.
Thank you, I never try to insert image on its own paragraph.

Convert picture imported to Word document with VBA

I've Word documents that contain acronyms and a macro that searches the document for them so that they can be identified for an acronym table. So far, I can search a document's text and tables but not the pictures with the macro. I've found that if
I manually select the picture, right click and select group->ungroup, I get a MsgBox with the message "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?" Selecting the yes button converts
it into many Shapes objects that are then searchable.
I've determined that the picture (object) type prior to conversion is msoPicture and that it gets converted to an msoCanvas object with many Shape objects on it.
I've built a macro that can loop through various Canvas objects and then the Shape objects to find the acronyms. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to convert the image/object from msoPicture to msoCanvas in VBA. Does anyone know how to do
this? Thanks.

Hi,
As far as I know, we can’t convert a picture to canvas through VBA.
For that process through the UI, I think it add the canvas first, then add the picture to that canvas.
For your requirement, you could add the canvas first, then add the picture to tat canvas.
Sub NewCanvasPicture()
Dim shpCanvas As Shape
'Add a drawing canvas to the active document
Set shpCanvas = ActiveDocument.Shapes _
.AddCanvas(Left:=100, Top:=75, _
Width:=200, Height:=300)
'Add a graphic to the drawing canvas
shpCanvas.CanvasItems.AddPicture _
FileName:="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\" & _
"Office\Bitmaps\Styles\stone.bmp", _
LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True
End Sub

Importing a word-document to RH11 for output as WebHelp (Image-Quality)

Hello guys,
i have a problem with importing word-documents to RH11. It is not a problem with the process itself, but with the settings. After importing the documents to RH11 the image quality is absolutly messed up. The resolution is not even half of the original and its blurry. It seems to be that RH11 only takes a "screenshot" of the picture within the word document instead of importing the original high quality image.
I am generating a manual and therefor im going to export the project as WebHelp Pro. My inconvinient solution is to export the high quality images from the word document manually and replace the messy pictures in the WebHelpPro folders. As you can imagin this is going to take a lot of time and resources while the project is getting bigger.
Hopefully you can help me.
Best regards from Germany and please pardon my English :-)

So you are putting the image into Rh at 100% and then shrinking it there, correct?
How are you shrinking it?
If you are going to Image Properties and resizing there, you will get poorer results.
Go to View > Pods > Tools > ReSize and you will get better results.
Or use SnagIt.

How do I begin with a template and then import a Word document?

I know I can open a word document in pages (I do this all the time). But I have a specific template and I want the word document I open to take up the designed elements of the template. How do I do that?

George
You can import the styles from another document:
+Menu > Format > Import Styles…+
but it will come down to what you need to retain from what.
You can not import layout or elements, so you will have to work out which holds most of what you want and import the styles from one and apply that or copy and paste into the document that contains most of the work.
Don't forget you can use the thumbnails to copy across whole pages/sections.
This is where Pages extremely weak and poorly thought through layout methods fall down. You will not be able to apply the master pages and master page layouts, to existing work, that you can in other DTP software.

Can I import a Word document into Creative Suites?

I have a Word document I would like to work on in Creative Suites for all the added capabilities. The only way I found was thru Cut and Paste....is there a quicker way to import the whole document.

You can use File --> Place in InDesign to import Word and Excel files and retain quite a lot of the formatting. Otherwise, no, they are simply two different worlds and copy&paste is as good as it gets for most programs.
