Trying to put an MS Word table into a crystal report

I am making a report that is primarily text -- it's a form letter formatted in Word.
I am able to emulate almost all the formatting in the Designer that I have in my Word document, EXCEPT a relatively simple MS Word Table. It has some formatting features I cannot recreate with the "Box" and "Line" drawing tools in Designer.
Here's what I've tried that does not quite work:
I have copied the table, pasted it into MS Paint, then saved as a BMP. Then, I insert the bitmap as an OLE object. This serves my purpose becuase I need to overlay database fields to make it look like the values are displayed in my table. The problem: The bitmap looks pixelated, and a registred trademark symbol from the word table changes to a circle. I need the table to look just like the text above and below it, not like some fuzzy picture that was pasted into the report.
Any ideas?

Hello G L,
What happens if you skip converting it to a BMP in paint and insert an OLE Object from file selecting the Word Doc with the table in it?

Import text / word documents into a Crystal Report

Good morning,
I need to import a Text file/Word Doc. into a crystal report, these files are based on a field, i mean
The data in the field is "alr-finclk", then the file to import is alr-finclk. if the data is "alr-pro" the file is alr-pro and so on..
Have we any way of getting this report ?
Thks for your help
Jose Marin

I have found the following formula which is running when the file isn't a big one...,
StringVar sFile;
NumberVar i;
i := 1;
while FileGetText( "c:\file.txt", i) <>"" Do
sFile := sFile + FileGetText( "c:\file.txt", i);
i := i + 1
sFile;
but when the file is big i get
A STRING CAN BE AT MOST 65534 CHARACTERS LONG
Any way of solving this?

How to paste a Word table into email without showing the guidelines.

When I paste a Word table into an email using Explorer, the guidelines don't show. When I paste into an email while using Firefox, the lines show. I don't want the guidelines to show.

BigEnd wrote:
When pasted from Word, the graphics are Inline by default. You can correct each one by selecting the graphic and then Anchored Object, Options and selecting Above Line (centered etc). What I do then is create an object style to these specs and this makes it quicker to apply to the graphics.
You say that there are very many graphics in the doc - does anyone know how to make the above settings the default when graphics are pasted from Word?
M
Thank you M, but I believe I figured it out:
I made styles in Word to make things a bit simpler when changing large sections of text, so within the settings of the images style select Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks. Under 'Textbox Options' the Tight wrap defaults to 'None' - Select 'All'.
When the file is placed into InDesign, the images don't overlap, and are exactly where they need to be.

My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage. I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images. All come out blurry.

I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage. When I do my images are blurred or pixelated. Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well. I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
Image > Resize > Image Size (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

Trying to convert this sql into a crystal report

CA Forum: General
I have this statement provided to extract via sql but i cannot emulate this in crystal. can anybody help? here is the run down. essentially iam trying to list records in one table auanmast which is not present in the other table auanregs based on reg dte (from) and reg til (to) if this record is not in the auanreg table then list the ani_num from the auanmast. (however there is not a null field present in the auanreg table), so a left outerjoin won't work.
ani_num      reg_date    reg_til
5555           01/07/08    30/06/09
5555           01/07/05     30/07/06
so the record missing in auanreg is reg_date 01/07/07 and reg_til = 30/06/08 and iam trying to get the query to list all ani_num from auanmast that have no date assigned with reg_date & reg_til date the link being ani_num to
select ani_num from auanmast a where ani_num not in (select ani_num                        from auanregs                        where reg_dte = '01-Jul-07'                        and reg_til = '30-Jun-08'                        and ani_num = a.ani_num) and ani_dth is null and ani_dep is null and ani_num not in (select ani_num                     from auantags                     where ani_num = a.ani_num                     and tag_set != '2007/08') order by ani_num /
Hope someone is upto the challenge for this one....cheers

Have you tried adding a command. Go to select datasource, select command, you should be able to use the SQL there. ( OF course it won't be just copy and paste ) unless you are lucky.

Problem logging into infoview crystal reports server X1

Hi, i'm trying to move our crystal server to another server but am running into issues.
Our server is Windows 2003 R2 SP2
we use Active directory authenication.
when logging into infoview the follow error appears.
An error has occurred: An unknown error has occurred.
http://ctcvicrs01/businessobjects/Enterprise11/InfoView/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/businessobjects/Enterprise11/InfoView/logon.aspx
Strange thing is if you clear the error part of the url
http://ctcvicrs01/businessobjects/Enterprise11/InfoView/
and hit refresh it logs you in fine.
any ideas?

Typical owners of Crystal Reports Server do not have access to the above mentioned Business Objects ESD (Electronic Software Delivery) site to download software/patches. These customers are usually small to mid market customers that have to purchase the product from our partners/resellers. Only actual customers that purchase directly from Business Objects get access to ESD. This is the reason why there was a special CR XIR2 Server SP2 patch that used to be available for download on the publicly available http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com website. Unfortunately that site now redirects to the new SAP site. That all being said, I have also run in to the issue with searching the new SAP download site not returning any results for SP2. This was a few weeks ago, and I just figured they were not finished getting all the files categorized and available for download yet. I will follow up internally and see if I can get this issue resolved.
Stay tuned for more details.

ObjectId@: How to drawn the ObjectId@ token into the Crystal Report????

In all documentation about the tokens to be used in order to have the right document published in CR, there's no reference how SBO draw the the ObjectId@ into the report. In the standard CR reports SAP delivers with SBO, the DocKey@ is drawn by a formule (table.DocEntry = {?DocKey}.
I can't find anything in the standard CR reports, how this is done with the Token ObjectId@.
Does anyone have specific information about this?
With regards,
Freek

Hello Gordon,
I don't agree to that. If you look in the orignal documen '' How to Work with Crystal Reports in
SAP Business One " you can read:
The ObjectId@ token is recommended for inclusion in Crystal Reports layouts that you want
to assign to multiple sales and purchasing documents. For example, you can include the
ObjectId@ token if you want to include dynamic titles that change according to different
document types.
Furtheron, if you look in the standard CR reports for marketing lay-outs, the ObjectId@ token is populated and filled with a condition. But I can't find where in de Crystal Report. Not in the filter condition like the DocKey@ token.

Freek

Importing word tables into ID

I need to import a table from word to ID. The cols run several pages each in Word. How do I import the table so that cols break neatly within the frames?
I've tried "help" but I couldn't make it work. I just need to know how to make the table flow.
Thanks

Unfortunately, table cells won't break across pages or frames in InDesign. When I had a project like this, I did a lot of prep work in Word using Convert Table to Text, and then messing around with the text formatting so I could import the content into InDesign. Instead of one text frame with a table with three columns, I'd have three separate text frames with "faked tables" made of paragraph rules and anchored "gridlines."
Sorry, you're in for a bit of a manual slog on this one.

The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle. You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place. Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

It sounds like the computer does not recognize the iPod. If that is the case
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

How to add a dynamic table to a Crystal ReportViewer?

Hi All,
I'm trying to create my first crystal report, but I want to create the data dynamically. I want to create my table on the fly then, just dump the table into the crystal report.
1. I'm not sure how to setup the fieldnames in the report to point to my dynamic table.
2. How do I add the columns name in my dynamic table to my report?
        DataTable m_tExample = new DataTable();
        // Add Column Names
        m_tExample.Columns.Add("firstname", typeof (string));
        m_tExample.Columns.Add("lastname", typeof( string));
        // Add Test Data
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("MT","Long");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("D", "Chiat");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Matdt", "Sdmith");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Kevin", "Cloley");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Maitt", "Diurkee");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Paam", "Duurkee");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("William", "Never");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Tang", "Hong");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Mike", "Lopez");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Bill", "Chao");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Az", "Mattizra");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Raja", "Crash");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Jimmy", "Compton");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Ray", "Johnson");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Janice", "Howard");
        m_tExample.Rows.Add("Tony", "Scott");
    // Add DataSet to Viewer?
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = m_tExample.DataSet;
        CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
NOTE: When I'm in the designer, I only see a text object to place in the report detail for a fieldname.

Hello,
Once you get the Data Set create save it as XML and then create a new report off the XML file. Then you can set the data set to the report and the XML is not required any more.
First, to be able add fields to a report you need to use RAS. Report.Engine doesn't have the ability.
If you search in this forum you will find lots of examples on how to...
If you want to create the report then see these RAS samples:

Crystal report AS ole object into word

I've been searching the web on using crystal reports as an OLE object inside a word document, but all results have been about using a word document inside a crystal report.
I am trying to create a quarterly report document for a business. This document is built using MS word. The document needs to include various tables, charts and the like, which they want to build in crystal reports so that they can be used either as part of the quarterly or as standalone reports.
I would like to embed these reports into MS Word. Ideally, every three months the reports would be updated with new parameters, the word document would be opened, and the linked OLE reports would display the updated data tables and charts.
I'm not sure if this is possible. I just attempted to embed a crystal report inside a word 2007 document, but the OLE object only showed up as an object containing the report filename, not the actual report.
Can crystal act as an ole server for a word document to do what I want it to do, or will I need to programatically export the batch of crystal reports to images in order to have them show up in the word document?

if you have business objects enterprise & live office, you can use Business Objects Live Office to embed the following from crystal reports into word or excel or powerpoint:
1) charts
2) cross tabs
3) summaries
4) fields
to name a few.
you can also use prompts in the word doc to allow you to change up the above on the fly.

Kerning removed when pasting word document into indd.

I am trying to paste a set of tables into indd. I converted the PDF to a DOC using Acrobat Pro, and it looks and behaves fine in Word. But when I paste it into place all of the kerning is removed. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

Hmmm, well I've reproduced it.
Can't explain it.
But I reproduced it. It's not a matter of "kerning" but rather the exclusion of the regular space character.
I tried converting table to text (in Word), then converting it back to a table before placing, and the spaces were preserved, but aside from all the space characters having a "custom tracking" value applied, the round-trip conversion resulted in a mangled layout anyway, so it was really only good for experimental purposes in the end.
In my standard workflows, I rarely if ever Place text-based content, and it's likely because scenarios like this were involved in the evolution of my habits. Word tables and InDesign tables have very little in common, and I would probably bring in plain text and reconstruct the table(s) in InDesign, if this was my project, without having even tried to Place. Actually, I've had better luck (copy/paste) with Excel to InDesign tables.
