Attaching word docs in forms

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times before
but...
I'm fairly new to DW, having DW MX2004 on my pc, have a form
thats been up and running on the site now, but want to add the
option of "Attaching a document" to it, e.g. word docs...Any ideas
how to do this?? Any help greatly appreciated!!

Take a look at using something like www.formstogo.com a small
fee but worth
it I'd say.

    Hi Krishna,
    Actually this functionality is activated once you maintain the paraneter ID in user's own data in default parameters tab page.
    I will give you the parameter id in 15 mins
    Go to VA02
    Select drop down menu System>User Profile> Own data
    Go to Tab- Parameter. enter parameter ID-SD_SWU_ACTIVE  & Parameter value X
    Save. now u will get an attachment icon in top left of screen on sales order screen when u go to VA02. click this and u can attach MS word, Excel or Auto cad documents
    Reward points if useful.

  • Open Word Doc from form in web setting not client/server

    Hello, I am new to form. I need to open a word doc (on client PC )from Oracle Form by a button click. I did some research online and looks like Client_Ole2 is the package I need. But when I looked into my Build-in Package (in forms builder), I only see OLE2, TEXT_IO etc. So when I try to declare a variable which is CLIENT_OLE2 like some post suggest, I got error message "identifier CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE must be declared".
    So is that means that I need to install/setup WebUtil on my env to get this Client_Ole2 to show up on Form Builder?
    Thanks for help, please advise.

    I found the way to add webutil.pll to attached Libraries.This is the wrong way. Open the webutil.olb in the Forms Builder. Then open your form you want to add the Object Library too. In the Object Libraries node of the Object Navigator - double-click on the WEBUTIL node. This will open the Object Library properties window. Click on and drag the WEBUTIL entry to the Object Groups node of your Form. You will be prompted "Do you want to copy the object or subclass it?" Click on the Subclass button.
    Subclassing is a Forms method that allows you to share a single source of an object/code between multiple Forms. It is Forms' way of implementing inheritance.
    I also copied them to /forms/java directory too.This is not necessary. I recommend you delete the files you copied to the /forms/java directory. Forms will find the libraries if the .../forms directory is listed in your FORMS_PATH environment variable (see the default.env file). The /DevSuiteHome/forms directory should be the first directory listed in the FORMS_PATH variable.
    Remove path?". So I selected Yes. But when I run form, I got FRM_40039: Cannot attach library webutil while opening form ......".The fact that you are getting this error indicates that the /forms directory is NOT part of the FORMS_PATH.
    If I choose No to keep the hard code path, then if I deploy the form to testing server or production server, it will become problem! Right? How to solve this?Double-check to ensure it is listed. The variable entry should look something like:
    FORMS_PATH=D:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;<any other directories you want to be part of your path seperated by ";">Hope this helps,

  • Link/RE-link to word docs with form fields?

    Trying something new, and when I took the InDesign 2 day class the instructor was not very familiar with linking to word docs, she just never used the feature.
    So, I have multiple contributors who will onlly work in word. I am trying to set up a template/form for them to fill in that I can link to my .indt.
    I have the styles set up and matching, and I'm looking for a way that I can lock everything but the areas where they need to fill in information. My plan is to do this by making a form in Word with text fields. Will this transfer over to the InDesign file when I relink? If not what is an alternative solution using Word with out having to copy and past all the time ?

    Ohhh k.
    OK Yes this is possible.
    I do mean for it to link, the content is dynamic I need the technical people to be able to edit content before I get it. The point is to have multiple contributors working in word (absolutely must be word), creating new content that can be fed into indesign relatively automatically while preserving the InDesigns styles applied to certain text frames.
    It does need to link back to get content updates so I have this option turned on in the general preferences to allow this.
    The word documet is set up, as follows:
    Form fields are created, along with their respective titles or headings. A style/structure element is applied. The style doesn't have to match what is in indesign but it is helpful.
    Click the text box and got to "Place"
    Select the document and select the "Show Import Options"
    Under import options select "Preserve Styles and formatting..." Then Select the "Customize Style Import" radial and click style mapping. I tried doesn't this with the Automatic Import and it didn't work properly, custom mapping will identify the right information to style while overiding the actual style information from Word and instead uses the InDesign Style.
    So... not necessarily a job for InCopy, though I realize that would be better, working in for a Microsoft Partner Network Gold Certified Partner, it would be impossible to get everyone to switch over to InCopy.

  • Problems opening Word docs with form function

    Does anyone know how to open a Word doc & keep the forms function? I have to fill out quarterly reports. When I open this type of Word doc, Pages eliminates the checkboxes and text boxes. A pain point, but Word doc is still usable.

    Hi,
    Since the issue only occurs to Word for Mac, I'm not familiar with the mechanism how it opens a file, we mainly supports Office for Windows in this forum. Please post the question in Office for Mac forum for further assistance:

  • Can no longer attach Word docs to Mac Mail

    I've been using the command from within Word for Mac 2011 File>Share>E-Mail(As Attachment) until about three weeks ago when clicking on that command would bring the Mail.app window to the front, and then nothing would happen.  When mousing over the Word doc I wanted to attach, I'd see the spinning beachball for 30 seconds or so.  Then the beachball would stop spinning and nothing else would happen.
    I've reverted to saving the file and then attaching it by using paperclip icon in Mail and navigating through the Finder -- not the easiest, but serviceable.
    Any ideas on how to restore this functionality before I do what I should have done long ago, and that's toss Word out and use Pages exclusively?  Thanks!

    You go to System Preferences>Users & Groups
    Click on the lock icon to make changes
    Click on the + sign above the lock to add a new user called "Test"
    I did this only to see if the problem was system-wide or isolated to my user account (which is what turned out to be the case). 
    So creating a Test user doesn't resolve the problem, it troubleshoots it.  I'm still not sure what's causing it.

  • Attach Word Docs to a Record in Oracle Forms

    Hello All,
    I am trying to attach an MS Word document to an Oracle Record in Forms 6i (in e-business suite). I found mention of using the OLE feature to do this. Unfortunately there wasn't much detail in the explaination.
    1. What kind of field is the document stored in?
    2. What are the mechanics of uploading and storing the document?
    3. Can it be edited?
    Can someone give me the details of how to do this? Appeciate any help.
    Thanks, Bradley

    Hello,
    if you are working under Oracle Apps.. I recommend to post this inside Apps forum... The way would change depending the version I think.

  • Best way to access Word doc from Forms 6i

    We have a requirement whereby the user can press a button on the form, and this starts up Word and opens a document. The user can update the doc, and save it, and on exiting Word, control returns to the form.
    I know that we can use DDE for this, but I don't want to do that.
    We want to restrict access to this Word document to only those people who have access to the form. I was thing about actually holdinh the word document in the database.
    What would people recommend?
    Is it better to use LOBS/BLOBS etc?
    Or should I be using iFS? What are the benefits of each?
    Many thanks in advance.

    i use openssh tunnel for x11vnc, then tightvnc at work (plus ssh in windows) to access, see the x11vnc wiki for info, i followed the info on this page for the ssh tunneling.

    Hi ArS,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I am not familiar with SWO1.
    I did try to copy an existing object ype 'ADDRESS' to ZADDRESS.  On the following screen:
    Object Type      ADDRESS

    When I checked there were no inconsistencies. But when I  test I get the following:
    Obj Type ZADDRESS can not be executed.

  • Attaching Word and PDF files in Mail without preview in the middle of a message

    I am using Mail but often attaching Word docs and PDFs. Word attachments appear as small icons, but PDFs as preview and usually in the middle of the message. Can I attach PDFs as small icons and not in the middle  of a message? Having just moved to Mac from PC I am missing the tidyness of Outlook, but if you can help me I'll persist.

    I found this solution in a previous thread:
    1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    2. copy and paste this line after the $:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    3. hit return
    4. you may need to restart Mail for the change to take effect, it worked for me without restarting Mail.
    5. to change it back you would do
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false

  • Converting Word Doc to PDF Form

    I am trying to convert a word document into a PDF Form.
    I have tried running the 'Form Wizard' in Acrobat 9.x Pro. I have the current version, just can't remember the rev. number.
    Supposidly the Form Wizard will recognize areas of the word doc as fields and insert fields automagically. I have tried the wizard several times from within Word 2007 and Acrobat Pro. no luck. Nothing is recognized.
    Any ideas? I don't want to have to manually re=create the form unless I have to.
    I am attaching the PDF doc and hoping someone can help with this.

    I know it's user to user, but I'm an optimist, and figured I'd toss in a UX suggestion while I was at it.    Apologies if that aside was misplaced.
    I'm pretty sure none of the "fields" I made were actual form fields according to Word, they were just things like text boxes, or, more frequently, tables (the doc I was working from had values filled in where form spaces should go, so I frequently used text -> table to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, then deleted the filled-in values).
    One of the reasons I wanted to do it this way is that it can sometimes be a pain to line up the form fields in Acrobat such that the text when filled in lines up with the already-present text (or am I missing a trick?)
    Also, as an update, I tried PDF-form-ifying just page 1, and got the same error, then tried PDF-form-ifying everything but page 1, and again, same error.

  • I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
    If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
    Pages
    When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

  • Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)

    Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
    An automated second page.

    There are two approaches.
    If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this.  It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
    If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
    Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA.
