Calling a word document on click of a tab

Hi All,
I need to call a word document which has some layout , on click of a button in bsp and populate some values into it. Where should i define the layout of this word document? In the layout itself ? but that will open in a browser right?
Please give some inputs on it.
Regards,
Ruby.

Hi,
Since Word understands HTML, you can generate HTML in a BSP page (preferable with .doc as extension. Add the end of the layout, you put
runtime->server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type'
value = 'application/msword' ).
You can also have a look at web components of MS. Check

Open a Word 2010 document by clicking hyperlink but the "Display for review" cannot change to "Final"

I use this Macros to open a Word document by Windows explorer. The "Display for review" can be changed to "Final" automatically. But I found when I open a Word document by hyperlink. It doesn't work.
E.g. I have a Word document named ABC.doc and a hyperlink to call another Word document like c:\temp\xxx.doc
When I click c:\temp\xxx.doc
xxx.doc was opened but the "Display for review" is still "Final:ShowMarkup".
Please help.
Alt+F11 -> Normal -> Document -> Selected "Document" & "Open"
Private Sub Document_Open()
      On Error Resume Next
      With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
             .ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
             .RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
      End With
      On Error GoTo 0

External Link to Word document question

Hello, fellow RoboHelpers!
I have a quick question that I am hoping someone can answer
for me. :-)
I am using RoboHelp X5 and use Microsoft HTML Help (.CHM) as
my file output. I would like to link a Word document to one of my
topics, so when a user clicks the link, they will be prompted to
open/save the Word document.
The following are the steps I use to do this:
1) I type the text that I want the to use for the hyperlink,
highlight it, and select the Hyperlink tool (or press CTRL+K).
2) In the Hyperlink dialog box, I select "File" from the
"Link To:" section and select my Word document.
3) I select "Yes" to add the Word document to my project
folder.
4) In the Hyperlink diaglog box, I select OK, and the link
has been created.
5) I generate my Help project and test the link.
6) When I click the hyperlink, I receive a "File Download -
Security Warning" box asking me if I want to Open or Save the Word
document.
Problem #1 -- it appears that I can save the Word document by
clicking "Save" without any problems, but clicking "Open" does not
open the Word document in Microsoft Word. Why?
Problem #2 -- The warning box displays three criteria: the
file name, what type of file it is, and "From". I have issues with
the "From" line. While the .CHM file is attempting to call the Word
document from within the .CHM file, which is what I expected it to
do ... the path is, well, ugly looking :-P
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\RoboHelp%20Office\
RoboHTML\HTMLMicrosoftHTML\VRHelp.chm::/ICBA.doc
Is there any way that I can clean up this path? If I could at
least get rid of that mk:@MSITStore, that would be a good start.
If anyone has some suggestions, I am all for it!
Thank you very much,
--Jessica

The "mk:@MSITStore:" is the protocol for extracting from a
.chm file, much like an "http:" precedes a web address. I'm afraid
that just is part of the path if the Word document is embedded in
the help file.
Ahh, I am sorry to hear that that is the case. Thanks for the
information!

I don't know why your "Open" doesn't work. Does it open the
document within the browser window, or just not open it at all? Are
you adding the Word document as a baggage file? I don't know if
RHX5 does this automatically with your steps as I use an older
version.
John
Yes, the Word document is added as a baggage file. If I click
"Open", the Security Warning box disappears and nothing happens
(unfortunately).
In the Hyperlink properties, I realized that I had the link
opening in the "same window", so I changed it to display in a "New
Window". Now, when I generate/click the link, the Word document
tries to open in Internet Explorer (path and all). I get the same
message box as before asking me if I want to Open or Save the
document. Still, clicking "Open" will not open the Word document in
Microsoft Word. When I press Open, the box simply disappears and
the path remains in the Internet Explorer address bar. If I select
the path in the message bar and press Enter to bring up the
Open/Save prompt again, I can save the document ... but I cannot
Open it.
A thought just occurred to me while I was typing this: Would
the fact that I am using Microsoft Word 2007 have anything to do
with why the file will not open? I remember hearing that Office
2007 is not compatible with RoboHelpX5, so perhaps that is why the
document is not opening. Still, RoboHelpX5 doesn't seem to have a
problem saving the file to your harddrive regardless of the
filetype, and the Word document I am working with is a .doc file
anyway, compatible with Word 97-2003, not a .docx.

I took a look at your site, which says:
Opening a Word document
From time to time people ask how to open a Word document from
the help.
COMPILED CHM HELP - Rick advises that you can use an HTML
Help Shortcut control to accomplish the goal.
You simply specify the file name where you would normally
specify the application.
I tried to create a HTML Help shortcut by doing the
following:
1. I click the Insert Navigation Control button, then HTML
Help Controls > Shortcut
2. In the Button options box, I enter a text description for
the button and click Next.
3. In the Shortcut Selection, the first prompt says, "Program
to run when shortcut is activated." I search for my Word document
from within my Project Folder, select it, and press Next.
4. I leave the Font options the way they are.
5. I click Finish, and the button is created.
When I generate the project and test the button, nothing
happens when I click it. If I do specify the application (ex.
WINWORD.EXE), Word
does open when I click the button. How can I get it to call
a specific Word document?
Thanks for your time, guys!

Need to open word document from flash projector on Windows and Mac

Hello,
I'm creating a flash program that will be put on a dvd. And the dvd should function well on both windows and mac.
I'm trying to open a word document on click of a button. I used geturl but it works only on windows but on mac it only opens a blank browser.
This is urgent and would be really grateful if I get any help to resolve this problem
Thanks,
Sunira

I kind of doubt you could get Safari to open MS Office files. Short of actually getting MS Office for the Mac, the most workable option might be to get NeoOffice/J (a Mac-friendly version of OpenOffice from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php. It won't display some Office files 100% correctly (depending on how complex they are) but it can open and save them.

Hi,
Have you tried the hyperlinks in other Office programs like Outlook and PowerPoint? Do they work well?
You may need to run the Fix it in this kb below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310049/en-us
You can also try the steps in the section "Let me fix it myself". Although this kb is written for Outlook, it may help in your scenario as well.
I hope this is useful.

Calling WebHelp topics when source is one large MS-Word document

I imported a large MS-Word document into RoboHelp 9 and then generated it in WebHelp format. If I want to point a user to the exact spot that will answer their question, is there any way I can call a specific part of this help project? The information I have seen online only pertains to calling individual help topics, only.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I appreciate it.

Cross-references should also work. Mine do.
You have to remember when importing a Word document to check the Convert References to hyperlinks check box.
Import Word - On Import window, click Word Document Edit Conversion settings for Word documents Edit button.
Then on the Conversion Settings window, select Other Settings and check the Convert References to hyperlinks check box.
Everything should be referenced properly. Cross-references may not show hyperlink colors or underlines unless you have them set to do that in Robohelp. But if you click the reference it should take you right to the item. I have sets of documents and I have all my documents using this technique and it works.

How to click a label and pop up a Word Document

hi!
i know this question has been asked many times...i did a search...but got alot of stuff that were either too much for me to read...or too tough for me...
i hope i can GEt some help here!
i am in a rush..thats why i opted to post it here instead.
question is:
i have a JLABel. hwo to create a link that once i click on it... a MS word DOC will open??
i already have the doc. file made...but need to link it to the label..such that once its clicked, the doc is opened...
thanks alot!!!

A very important message about problem solving: Divide and conquer.
Stop thinking "clicking a label and open a word document".
Think
- "Clicking a label, and do something"
- "open a word document from a java program".
Go on, and think
- "How do I make my program notice when a specific label gets clicked"
- "What external command will open a word document?"
- "How do I run an external command from a java application?"
Look at the hints you've got. Read the documentation for the classes and methods you've been pointed towards. Look them up in the index in a good book. Read the tutorial. Write code. Experiment. Maybe come back here if you get stuck on something specific.

When trying to look at pix on a cd, it comes up as word document and have to right click on preview to see picture. Why

On my desktop, when wanting to see pictures on a CD, if I click on the picture icon it open as a word document. I must right click on the icon then click on preview and can then see all pictures on the CD. This just started after the last Firebos update. What needs to be done to correct. I have no problem seeing the pictures on my laptop which doen not have Firefox.

Firefox is a web browser, and your problem is associated with how Windows handles image files. Firefox doesn't even need to be running, so I don't see how it could be associated with your problem. If the problem started around the same time as a Firefox update, I'm willing to bet that it was just a coincidence.
Try asking in a Windows forum. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/community

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

Unable to link click box to Word document

I am using Captivate 2 to create a click box. On success the
click box should open a Word document in a new window. I have saved
the Word document in the same folder with my swf. After testing the
click box, I get an error message IE was unable to link to the Web
page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.
What is weird that the Open URL or File on success works fine
if I set the Word document to open in the current window. This
option is not possible, because I do not want users leaving the
course. Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

I'm facing this problem since Captivate 2
but I just skip the link file part....
But now i doing my personal portfolio
which got huge link pdf and mpeg link file...
so I've tried Captiv8r method
but after publish into .exe
when i click the clickbox
i will appear ERROR sign and won't open the link pdf file
I've followed all the steps:
1. From Captivate, click File > Create a MenuBuilder
project...
2. Choose the "Blank Project" type and click OK.
3. Click Options > Project Options...
4. Change the Width to 320 and the Height to 200 (These are
the minimum settings)
5. Click OK to dismiss the Project options.
6. Click Insert > Clickbox...
7. You should see a "New Clickbox" dialog. There should be an
empty field labeled "Link".
8. Type only your document file name into the Link field.
9. Place a check mark in the "Save file with project" check
box, and click OK to dismiss the dialog.
10. You may see a warning dialog where MenuBuilder is
quibbling about the document not being present. Don't let this fool
you. Just click NO to advise you don't wish to browse for the file.
11. At this point you should see a small object on your
MenuBuilder. It should say "Clickbox" and be positioned in the
middle of the project.
12. Drag the sizing handles until it totally covers the area.
It should totally cover the whole area.
13. Now click the Export toolbar button.
14. MenuBuilder will then prompt you to save the project. Go
ahead and give it a name to appease it and click the Save button.
15. Select "Flash Movie" from the Export Options dialog and
click Next >.
16. Type a file name, choose a location to store the movie,
make sure the "View project after export" option is NOT selected,
then click the Finish button.
17. Now you may close MenuBuilder. You are finished with it.
We go back to Captivate.
18. In Captivate, open the slide with the link you wish to
use to open the document. The goal here is to click Insert >
Animation... and suck in the .SWF you created using MenuBuilder.
19.Then position that over an image or something that will
clue your user to click it.
I've follow all the step
but in NO.8 & No.9
If I just type the file name (and no link)
I can't place a check mark in the "Save file with project"
check box
and when I import the swf into Captivate
It will show a message:
"Adobe Captivate - Captivate link test.cp
The Adobe Flash file contains action script that reference
"root". This might cause the adobe captivate project to work
incorrectly or to stop working. do u want to continue to add this
file?"
and After burning in to CD
I can't open the PDF link file!
and it will jump out a ERROR:F sign! (actually what is the
"F" means? FXXK? haha~)
After several times try and error
I've slightly make some changes at NO.8 procedure:
8. Type only your document file name into the Link field.
(I've choose and place the file with whole link & file
name,
which is: C:\Unzipped\Captivate testing\D herbal tea
Leaflet(C).pdf
and then now I can check the "save file with project"
checkbox)
after output to a swf and insert animation in captivate
although captivate also show the "Adobe Captivate - Captivate
link test.cp
The Adobe Flash file contains action script that reference
"root". This might cause the adobe captivate project to work
incorrectly or to stop working. do u want to continue to add this
file?" message
but now i can open the link file (in same folder with .exe
publish file)
in any other computer!
I've checked the action script inside the link.swf which i've
created, and get the result:
// Action script...
on (release)
var szArg = "D herbal tea Leaflet(C).pdf";
var szWindow = "_blank";
if (_root.FlashPlayer == "1")
getURL("FSCommand:execfile", szArg);
else
getURL(szArg, szWindow);
} // end if
it shows the file name only!
Now it's no problem!
PS: U cannot open the link file under preview mode
it won't open
but after publish into .exe
u can open the link file!
Sorry my english is very poor
anyone don't understand can download my testing project from
here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/71506514/Captivate_testing.zip
Thanks Captiv8r again for helping us!
