Missing images in Word Document

I am having a problem with some missing images when I
generate a Word document from RoboHelp HTML. I have seen similar
problems in these forums and have tried the solutions without
success. I have Word 2002 SP3. I have images in my document that
have conditional tags applied to them. Up until now, I have not had
any trouble with them generating in Word. I added some more images
(using RH to import them into my doc) and I set up the conditional
tags to print those and not the others. In some cases, the images
are generated and in others they are not. There is no X in its
place just a blank line. I have tried erasing the .CPD file and
re-generating. I have tried removing and re-inserting the image.
Also, if I generate the html web help, the images are all there. No
problem. I have tried embedding the images and using links and get
the same result. I have not tried to just generate the PDF because
I need to tweak the document in Word first before generating the
PDF to make everything look good.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp. That didn't
help either. The image properties all have none (not left or
right). I am running out of ideas to solve this problem. Everything
worked great before so I can't figure out what could possibly be
wrong especially since the webhelp is fine. I also tried moving the
project to my C drive. No change either. The project usually
resides on a network drive.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it since I have a
document to print for a customer ASAP! Thank you in advance.

I have been suffering with this problem of missing graphics for some time, even with RoboHelp 8. However, it now seems that I have found the answer and just in case anyone else is still having this problem I thought I would share what worked for me.
After doing some Google searching I found the web site: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm where the following solution was offered for problems with Mail Merge graphics:
"If you find that on merging to a new document the resulting paths have been changed to something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE"../,./../program%20files/My Program/ProductPictures/ImageName.jpg"\*MERGEFORMATINET} and the merge does not work correctly:-
(In Word 2003) Select Tools > Options > General > Web Options and uncheck "Update links on save""
Whatever this has to do with anything I do not know, but it magically fixed my problem and all images are now appearing in the RoboHelp Word output.
Cheers,
Chris

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.

Converting tiff images to word documents

does mac offer any programs like microsoft office document imaging which enables you to scan docs as tifs and convert them to word?

Microsoft would have to offer a TIFF importer within Microsoft Word for its documents. If your issue is loading Word documents within TextEdit, yes, that editor does not support images. You are better off if you don't want to use Microsoft Word itself, to use NeoOffice or iWork's Pages if you want to incorporate images in Word documents.
P.S. Mac is the name of the operating system, and the computers that run the operating system by Apple Inc. So questioning "Does Mac..." doesn't make any more sense than asking "Does Experion..."

Emf images in word document convert badly to pdf using adobe plug-in

I have a problem with converting word documents containing emf images to pdf using the adobe plugin in the MS word ribbon which is provided with Adobe Acrobat XI standard. The text and some of the image formatting in the emf vector image either disappears or moves within the in the resulting output when the document is converted to a pdf. The issue also occurs when I use the "File > save as adobe pdf" option.
Example image in word:
Example result after pdf conversion:
I have adjusted many of the settings to try and get the conversion to work.
When I use the print then select the adobe printer this image pdf's ok. However he Adobe word plug-in is potentially very useful and a time saver because it allows default settings (including security) to be applied time and time again by default ensuring consistency. It is also important for us to be able to use a high quality vector image.
I hope someone can help here!
Thanks
Tom

We had the problem last year for my last PhD student and his dissertation. It was an issue with vector graphics, not bitmaps. In his case, the lines on a curve were solid, dotted, and dashed, but all came out as solid. In the printed version it was correct. The only solution we found was to create the file from the plugin and a second file with the printer. Then the second file was inserted in the original with replace pages. This meant that all the markup, bookmarks, and such were retained, but the graphics worked. If you do not need the extra bookmarks and such of the plugin, then just set up the printer to do the security you want. If you always want the security set, set it in the printer properties in the Start>Printers menu of Windows.

Outputting images in word documents

DB Version: Oracle 11g XE
Host: Windows 2003 Server - 32 Bit
I have a current application that produces MS Word Documents from host based templates and stores them in the database for later printing. This works nicely however I would also like to be able to embed some small images into the MS Word document. The images are based on user profiles so need to be dynamically managed and merged into the MS Word document.
These images may be stored either on the file system also (alongside the MS Word templates) or within WWV_FLOW_FILES (?) and I just need to work out how to merge the two files into one output.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

Hi,
I'm actually thinking whether the issue is related to Office version. What are the versions of Office on your laptop and workstation?
Based on the description, the issue doesn't occur if the document is saved as .doc, it only occurs if the document is saved as .docx, so basically we can say your workstation doesn't support .docx well. Is it a version prior to Office 2007?

InDesign CS5: italics missing from imported Word document

While working on a book, I've come to notice that some italics in the original Word document didn't make it into my InDesign document.
I'm doing some tests (with different import options) right now but so far I don't understand the logic of it. The missing styles, only italics, can be "real" italic or "faux" italic.
Before posting the result of my tests, I'd like to know if some of you have encountered the same problem?

@ Peter Spier: thank you for the script, very useful.
As you can read below, I'd prefer to avoid importing all the styles from the Word files. When you have 300 Word documents, the cleaning in InDesign can become a tedious task…
So, I've made some tests, the Word file I'm using comes from my client. In one ¶, a group of words is set in faux italic (typeface Times New Roman) in another ¶, the same group of words is also in faux italic. I guess, since Times New Roman has a true italic, that Word uses the true italic. I can see that from the shape of the one-story "a".
1. import the original Word document (as received from my client), use a custom Import Option which ""Remove Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables" but "Preserve Local Overrides ". I don't want to get the styles from Words, especially when the sources are diverse but the import has to retain Italic + Bold.
results: one group appears in roman (typeface Minion Pro Regular) and the other in italic (Minion Pro Italic)!
2. import the resaved Word document from Word 2011: .doc and .docx, import options unchanged
results: same as 1.
3. import the original Word document, use another custom Import Option which "Imports Styles from Word", which I'd rather not do but…
results: both groups appear in Italic now

How do you paste images in Word documents?

Why when I paste an image into a word document does it often move the image to the top of the page.

Microsoft’s documentation for 2008 did not explain how to set defaults when using *command V* to paste into Word. The pic can jump to the top of the page no matter where the cursor is under some circumstances. Someone who speaks Mac may be able to address the defaults better than passing the buck to Gates.

Embedded images in Word documents are incorrect on one computer but show up fine on another computer

I've not been able to find the root of the problem, but I use an application on my laptop that generates images in a document, and the document can be saved either with docx or htm/html extensions. On the laptop, I see the correct images. When I transfer
the document to my workstation either over the network or by a flash drive, the incorrect images pop up - images from a project that I was working on last summer. If I save the documents as a doc on my laptop, the correct images show up on my desktop. This
happens on many documents that I use, but I do have a document I use as a template. I'd prefer not to create another one, because it is quite involved.
When the incorrect images show up on my workstation, I can save the document to a flash drive (you would think with the incorrect images also being saved), but the correct images show up on my laptop.
This is frustrating to always have to work around this, but I've searched Google and really haven't found anyone else having a problem very close to this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Missing fonts in Word documents?

Hi
I have just got a new iMac and have upgraded to Word for Mac 2011 from Word OSX and when I open older documents the original documents fonts are missing. Any ideas how I can globally correct this rather than changing each document everytime I open it
Thanks

See Font Management in OS X, for starters.

Unable to paste images in SCN document

Hi Team
I am able to copy an image from word document and trying to paste it on SCN while creating a wiki document. However, it is not allowing me to directly paste, even though I was earlier able to do it. Can you please advise on this ? I have got around 15-20 images that need to be used while I am creating SCN document and inserting each image individually is getting too tedious a task. Please help. Thank you.

Linked images in my Word document don't show up in RoboHelp

I'm using RoboHelp 8 and Microsoft Word 2003 on Windows XP. I create a new WebHelp project. I added all the .png image files from my Microsoft Word directory to Baggage Files. I then used the Link>>Word Document function to add my Word document to the RoboHelp project. Set my preferences for style pagination, did a Force Update All. However, most of the images I inserted as links into my Word document don't come through into RoboHelp. Apparently I'm missing a setting somewhere but I can't figure out what it is. In addition, one of the images that did come through is horribly degraded.

Still no joy. All of the images in my Word document are linked .png files.
Here's the step-by-step of what I just did:
Open Word document
Tools>>Options>>General>>Web Options.
Change setting. Click OK
Click OK
Change text on page one of document to make sure document is "dirty".
File>>Save As.
Increment number in file name.
File>>Exit.
Launch RoboHelp
Start new project
Add all .png files to baggage.
File>>Link>>Word Document
Select appropriate Word file.
File>>Project Settings>>Import tab
Edit Word conversion settings to set pagination for heading styles and set Convert Word list to RoboHelp list
Click OK
Click Apply
Click OK
Right-click Word document in HTML Files (Topics) and choose Update>>Force Update All
no joy

Why aren't images I captured using acrobat on a mac visible in a word document on a PC?

Hi guys
this question has been asked before, but I can't find any answers that address the exact problem I'm having.
I use a mac to create word documents that are read by other collaborators who use PCs. Until recently, I had created these documents on my Macbook Air, running OS X (snow leopard). These documents involve copying lots of images, for which I was using Adobe Reader 9, into word documents (I have word 2008). Using that setup, there was no problem.
Over the weekend I got a new iMac, which is running Mac OS v 10.7.2 (lion). I installed a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Still have word 2008 (I save my documents as ".doc" because some of my collaborators don't run new versions of word and don't have the capability to open ".docx" files).
I just got an email from one of my collaborators that she can't view any of the copied images in the document I just sent her (the first using the new setup). Each image is just an empty box with the words "quicktime and a decompressor are required to view this picture." I tried searching to see whether others have had this problem, and it appears they have - I see that this is mostly a problem (at least it was in the past) because macs convert files into TIFFs when they copy to the clipboard, which the PCs can't read.
Only problem is, all the threads I read about this problem recommended upgrading to word 2008 as a fix to the problem...but I have word 2008! So why is this happening? Or did it mean that the collaborator (not me) should upgrade to word 2008?
I don't know what version of word my collaborators have, but it may be impractical for me to tell them to upgrade their versions. Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this from happening?
I will say that I had this problem when I initially started this job, but was able to fix it. At the time I was using preview to open pdfs and grab the images I needed. I switched and started using Reader 9 as my default, and found that as long as I used the camera tool to select my images, the problem disappeared. But in these new versions of acrobat (and reader, which I just downloaded), the camera button is gone, so it looks like there's only one way to select the image...unless someone knows a different one.
thanks for any tips you guys can give me!
Chris

It's possible to add the camera (aka Take a Snapshot) tool to the toolbar in both Acrobat and Reader. Just right-click in the toolbar area, go to the Edit category, and select it.

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

While trying to save a word document (Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac) in PDF, there is a section of the header or footer which is always missing!! Could anyone please tell me hot to fix this problem!!??? It works perfectly fine on my friends Mac!!

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?
