Imported Word 2010 into RH8 Question

I just imported several Word 2010 docs into a new project. There is a dotted box around the content (see image and ignore the blue outline):
Does anyone know why the content is in this box as opposed to there not being a box at all? Does it create any issues with the output of the content?

RoboHelp always creates a new CSS that it attaches to topics created from an import. You can select all of them in the Topic List and then right click to select Topic Properties and change the CSS used. Post back if things don't look right.

Importing Word 2007 into RH8

Hi,
It used to be very easy to import a Word document into RoboHelp if it was styled. Every Heading 1 would start a new topic.
Now It doesn't seem so easy - in fact I can't seem to be able to break up a document into topics at all.
Also, the images in the document are not importing. Did they ever? I don't remember.
Thanks for any help,
Marion

In the dialogs when you import you will see an Edit button. Click that and you can set which styles create new topics.

Can no longer import Word files into InDesign

Hello,
For many months I have been importing Word files into InDesign CS3 (Mac OSX 10.4.11) with no trouble, but I started having a problem yesterday.
When importing a 17-page Word file with 16 footnotes, I got none of the text and only the footnote numbers. This is what I get in InDesign:
12345678910111213141516
(Endnotes)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
These are the things I've tried already: restarting, deleting preferences, changing the import options, using CS2, importing someone else's Word file, importing a Word file that I imported successfully a couple of months ago. None of this works.
It has been suggested that I save the Word file as rtf, but since I have 200 files to import and I'm using Word's character styles for italics, bold, small caps, etc., I'd rather try to fix this problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Tina

I am using indesign CS2 and i'm trying to import a Word document into a new chapter for a book i'm laying out. it's about 30 pages, but there are at least 80 foot notes. i'm able to get about 1/2 of the document with the footnotes to flow correctly, then EVERYTHING disappears. the only way i've been able to get the remaining text to appear is by adding characters to the text. i'll hit "vvvvvvvvvvvv" a bunch of times and "magically" a little chunk of text and it's footnotes appears. then the ole disappearing act happens. so i do it again. i'm able to get all the text to appear finally, but when i delete the "vvvvvvvvvv" from the places i inserted them, the text disappears again. i have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. any ideas?
thanks so much,
travis

Error on Importing Word document into RH7

I am attempting to import Word docs into RoboHelp7. The first several documents are imported and saved into the project without incident. However, one file causes an error: "An error occurred while trying to save data to : <RH project name> <5>. The same error occurs each time I attempt to import this particular file; the error message will not disappear when I click on OK and whole project has to be closed. Thank you.

Colum,
Thank you for your prompt response. I tried importing sections of the word document as you suggested, but I was not able to isolate the error. I confess that after repeated errors and shutdowns, I discontinued this troubleshooting, lest it cause any damage to the original project files.
Instead, I opened a new project, and imported the Word doc into that project. Then I imported these HTML files into my main project. It was not graceful, but the end result is good, with all the links and formatting preserved.
As other Word docs have since been imported into this project without incident, perhaps it was a fluke/bug in this one document.
I appreciate your help in resolving the situation.
Thank you.

Saving a document using Word 2010 into a managed metadat hierarchy

Hi
Can I save a document using Word 2010 into a document library that has a managed metadata hierarchy and the document appear in the correct place in the hierarchy ?
Ideally it would be good if the Word 2010 "Save As" browser would show the managed metadata hierarchy, the user would select a node on the managed metadata hierarchy and the document would be save with the appropriate metadata to place the document
in the correct place in the hierarchy.
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
I think it's normal difference between "Open" and "Save As" option in MS Office application by design.
Whenever we create the document from/out of SharePoint library, and click "Save As" and there is always no "Arrange by" part in dialog.
When we open Office Word application, and open a library location from SharePoint site, if we disabled the option "Configure Navigation Hierarchies" for that particular library, there will be no "Arrange by" part in "Open"
dialog(e.g. image below).
It seems SharePoint doesn't provide the function for "Save As" the same as "Open" with different disign requirements, if we want to save document to the needed location in that library through "Save As" dialog, we
can add the proper metadata column value (e.g. manged metadata column if there is) in "Document Information Panel", and/or navigate to the proper library folder location.
Thanks

Importing a second Index from Word 2010 into InDesign CC

I am working on a 1000 page book. It was imported from Word 2010. Things imported messy but I am cleaning it up. The second index imported as text but did not attach to the reference in the text. The Index worked as did the table of contents. What can I do and how do I work with this. I have never had this kind of a situation.
Thanks

Make sure to open the track changes dialog and accept the changes, then do a Save As to rewrite the file.

Importing Word 2010 Developer Dropdown fields

I have been trying to import a form designed in MS Word 2010 with tabled containing Word Developer dropdown fields into LiveCycle Designer ES3. My OS is Windows 7.
The process always fails.
The importing Word Document begins with Converting Tables and within a few seconds i receive the message "Adobe LiveCycle Designer Word Import Filter has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
There are several dropdown fields in the Word document a few with 30-40 options to select from. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as the time required to recreate the fields in LiveCycle would take at least a full day.

Hi Markus,
Could you tell me how did you go to "Layout" properties in step 6?

RH9 - Import Word 2010 - Bookmarks not working

We use Technical Communications Suite 3 with Robohelp 9 HTML.
I import a Word 2010 doc (about 400 pages) and generate Microsoft HTML help.
In the Word document we have cross-references to headings and bookmarks. The bookmarks work in Word, they work when I convert the Word Doc to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat X, however when I import the document into Robohelp 9 HTML they do not work.
The cross-references to headings work but the ones to bookmarks end up with href="".
I can edit the html and manually put in the href ="filename#bookmark" and it works but I want it to convert automatically upon import. The booksmarks in the word document read "(see page xyz)", where the xzy is the cross-reference to the bookmark, using a pagenumber field, so that in a printed document the user sees the page number and in the PDF, Word Doc, etc. and hopefully in the chm they can just click on the link.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
david

Greetings,
Thanks for the comments. At your suggestion, I was able to get it to work in a small project using a 3-4 page Word document. However it still would not work in my larger project. I noticed that in the large project there were bookmarks that did work to a point in the document andintermittent there after. I went into the Word document to the first failure and re-inserted a new bookmark with the same name hoping it would have a positive result. The results were the same.
However when I inserted a bookmark with a different name, RoboHelp9 was able to recognize the bookmark and would convert to a link. I went through the Word document and created new bookmarks for the ones that did not work (a big task indeed). Now I am able to use the Word document as the source rather than having to edit the HTML in RoboHelp. This is good. Now only if I can get the footnotes to behave the same way....
Granted, I don’t know why a set of the original bookmarks were not working when they worked in other format conversions (Acrobat -> pdf, Word->HTML, XPS), but I can move on. Possibly it has something to do with Window 7 x64….
But, thanks for the input; it put me on a workable path.
Thanks again,
David

Saving Files from Word 2010 into SharePoint 2010 document library deployed as a sandbox solution gives "Web page no longer exist" Error 410

Created a new SharePoint 2010 List Definition project, Sandbox deployment option. List Definition type: Documents Library. When attempting to save into the document library from Microsoft Word 2010 I get "The webpage no longer exists" error in
the File Save dialog
If I change the type of the solution to Farm solution it works as expected.

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you used the custom Documents Library(List Definition using sandbox solution).
Please check whether you have removed <ContentTypeRef/> in the <ContentTypes/> tag of Schema.xml file in your project.
Here is a sample about list definition deployed as a sandbox solution, you can take a look at:

Importing word doc into InDesign

I am trying to find the best way to get about 250 word pages into 250 InDesign pages.
Currently I am assuming I have to copy/paste each page by hand. Is there a way to set page breaks in word and have them relate to pages in InDesign? I know that I can Find/Change attributes to batch/automatically apply styles to imported text. My major issue is that each InDesign page has a header, sub header, then 4 - 5 paragraphs with inline headers, so there is a lot of formatting.

You have to put your custom frame on you master A page. Open your pages pallet. select the master page, create you custom frames on the master page. Select the first frame, click on the little blue box the bottom right the hover you curser over inside the next frame and it will turn into a chain link icon. Click.
This will link the two frames together over the left and right pages.
Now double click on page one in your page pallet. You'll see the dotted frame which means that it on you master page. If you don't? then got to menu View>show frame edges.
Next
File> place select the word file
your curser will load with the word file, hover your curser inside the dotted blue frame you just made on page 1 hold down your shift and click

Missing spaces between words after importing Word document into RoboHelp HTML version 8

I created a 400+ page document in Word 2007 and imported it into RoboHelp 8 (HTML, not RoboHelp for Word). In many places, the space between a bold word and a non-bold word is no longer there. I would like to avoid having to go through the entire RH document to replace the spaces manually. Did I import incorrectly?

Looks perfect, works terribly...
Things to consider:
Chances are, the different treatments of the space are due to whether the space was included in the bolding of the word in MS Word.
Additionally, since Word files contain much underlying binary code (macros and such), your security settings might or might not be playing well with the Word stuff.
Are you importing the Word file from a network location, or from your local machine? Network traffic might be partially impacting the import, too.
Bottom line? You'll probably need to clear all formatting in the Word file and redo the formatting properly. To test this, cut a couple of pages into a new Word file, clear and redo the formatting in Word, import the Word file into another RH project, and see what results you get.
To clear the formatting:
Select text.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear Formatting.
Redo the formatting, being careful to not format the spaces.
Good luck,
Leon

Losy images after importing Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML

We imported a simple Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML, as a
new project (from scratch).
Everything worked out pretty well (afterall, this was just a
simple Word document), and we expect to have to tweak the styles,
etc. That is understood.
However, the images that were embedded in the Word document
(as opposed to saved to disk, and only linked to the Word document)
do not look very nice in the RoboHelp 7 HTML project topics.
When we browse to the iamge folder, and view the actual image
files, these images do not look too bad. But in the Design View,
the images have display issues (solid color bars on the
sides/top/bottom of the images). When we compile to a Single Source
Layout (except PDF), the images look fine again. When we create
Printed Documentation, even for the best PDF-settings, the images
look terrible -- smudgy, like low resolution quality).
1) Except for storing the images outside of the Word document
before importing, and then manually linking them back into the
imported RoboHelp HTML files, is there a way to maximize the
quality of the imported Word images in RoboHelp HTML?
2) Why doe the images look worse in Printed Documenation
(PDF), even for the highest PDF settings, than for the other Single
Source Layouts?
While I am typing, I realized that we should try to include
the images in Word via a link to the image files on disk. Perhaps
then RoboHelp will not actually modify the image files during
import. I will report back about this one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Importing word-xml into wd officecontrol

hi all,
i've tried some things with the officecontrol. Importing Word docs ist quite easy with binding the datasource
to a word-doc content with mime type "doc" ,"application/msword".
Unfortunately i have to import xml content. The client application is Word 2007. I don't know how to handle
that. The activex only shows the raw xml-content, but when i opened the xml-file with word 2007 directly
the content is shown as a real word document.
kind regards
