Capturing content of Word document.

Hi All,
I'm working on a POC at the moment, and one of the functions of the Application prints a letter in Word with preformatted text, signature etc. What the user would like to be able to do is then alter that text as required (fine so far), but then have a record of those changes saved back to the Database.
Has anyone done anything remotely similar to this?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
In order to perform versioning you would upload each version of the word doc into the database using a upload document screen. You can automatically put a version number on each upload. The documents can be downloaded and will automatically open word. If I remember correctly you can pop the browser with the correct url directly from word (after saving the doc of course).
Keep Smiling,

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

One way or probably Only way I can think off is using HWPF for reading/writing MS Word documents. It is a Jakartha project which is still under development though. I was able to read and Write WORD documents pretty nicely. Like I said, HWPF is still under development . You can still try using it, it is quite simple. Let me know if need help with coding using HWPF, I used it before. Check out the following link.

Hope that helps. Thanks.

Bullets which include links will prevent correct copy/paste content from word document to wiki page.

I have a word document around 20 pages which contains the following sentence (a bullet with two links):-
Now if I remove this sentence then copy/paste the 20 pages from word to wiki page they will be pasted correctly inside the wiki page , where all the pages, bullets, etc will be mapped correctly inside the wiki page as HTML tables, bullets ,etc.
But the problem if I kept the above sentence then the whole 20 pages will be pasted as plain text inside the wiki page.
So can anyone advice on this ?and how I can overcome it ?

Hi John,
You can try this (1) Save as Word Doc as single file web page (2) Open that file in normal text editor(notepad or so) and copy all (3) Goto Wiki page edit source and paste all (4) Save it
Let us know how it goes.
please 'Propose as answer' if it help you, also de-mark it if it didn't. Thank you!
the result will be as follow, not sure if this is a valid approach can you adivce ?:-

Hi MOKDEV,
>>I want to create table of content for word document and i want to get the content of this from page header and then to build the table
A collection of
TableOfContents
objects could represent the tables of contents in a document. When use Add method could add a tablecontent for a word document file. The below code provide a sample to create a tableConetent at the beginning of the document from all the paragraphs
styled as either Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3
Sub AddTableContent()
Dim myrange As Range
Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)
ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents.Add Range:=myrange, _
UseFields:=False, UseHeadingStyles:=True, _
LowerHeadingLevel:=3, _
UpperHeadingLevel:=1
End Sub

Embedded Word document in page

I want to display the contents of word document on a page. The word document will be stored in the database so I just want to display whats in it (words, diagrams etc). I dont want to edit it and save it, just display it. Is this a region or an item or maybe some funky html? I have seen it done so know its possible. thanks in advance

i have a bit of a solution where I have loaded an html version of the document into my static files and then i have an iframe that has a src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#mydoc.htm". this will display the htm doc in the iframe as I want it. 
 i have also tried the same as above but with a .doc file instead of .htm and it won't display so i assume there is a bit more to it than I have done?
 
 if i load this same htm document into the database (this is what i want so the user can load a different file to display if they want), i use iframe again but this time the source is src="#OWNER#.download_file?p_file=36". when i go to the page, instead of displaying (like an image does) it opens a save dialog. I am close but something is not quite right...
 I am happy to use an htm document but 1 issue I have already noticed is that the images are stored as seperate files so if a user was to load up a new htm file for display, they would also need to load up all the images...not very nice i just want to be able to display a word doc that is stored in the database, simple really, however, proving to be rather difficult!

Links within a word-document

Hi,
I have a really frustrating problem in our portal. We´re using SAP NetWeaver Portal 6.0.14.0.0 und KMC 6.0.14.2.0
We have a Word-Document with several links to other documents anywhere in our system. These links do work.
But we also have several links to programs on the local PC (e.g. c:programsxyzxyz.exe). The word-document is integrated into a page, but we have the problem, that sometimes (not always!!!!!) the links to the local programs are changed by SAP NetWeaver Portal:
For example instead of "C:Programsxyzxyz.exe" the link is "http://npwortal.bbb.com:50000/irj/servlet/prt/programs/xyz/xyz.exe"
Why does the system sometimes replace the correct link with this wrong link. This problem doesn´t appear all the time we update the word-document. Sometimes all links are correct, sometimes after a local edit theres just one link wrong, sometimes all links and so on.
What could be wrong?
Thanks for help, we have no idea whats going on there...

Hi,
I would be really Really REALLY be surprised if KM would touch the content of Word documents. Chances are that it's Word that is malfunctioning. Try to replace one of the components (such as use IIS or Apache as store, or use OpenOffice instead of MS Office to edit).
Best regards, Julian

Upload of Sections in Word Document into SAP SE38 editor

Hi
I was wondering if we can build a ABAP tool which would read different sections within the 'Technical Specification Document' word document and
- Create ABAP program in SE38
- pull content from various sections of Word document under the respective event in SE38
e.g program could pick up the content written under section '1.1- Input Selection' and have it replicated in ABAP editor before 'Initialization' Event.....
To make this happen, i am currently struggling to read the content from Word Document. Would apprecaite if you can help /share some light on this subject.
thanks

First of all I am wondering who places all the code in techinical documenation. For me it should be just a summary of all things done in the program, so it actually should be created after the report is ready, not before.
Secondly generating the code from some input stream is highly risky. Word or other applications don't have syntax checker for ABAP, right? So how do you know this coding doesn't dump once loaded to the report.
Next, dynamic report generation is of course possible with at least two ways, one would be using [generate subroutine pool|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPGENERATE_SHORTREF.htm] but it would require whole program to be self-written not just part of it. Another way with [READ REPORT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREAD_REPORT_SHORTREF.htm] and then insert your part using [INSERT REPORT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINSERT_REPORT_SHORTREF.htm] but this is also not a convenient way of changing the report unless you do this deliberately and totally aware of the consequences.
As for reading Word you can use OLE or [Desktop Office Integration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e9/0be7b9408e11d1893b0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm]. For the latter you might look at package SOFFICEINTEGRATION .
To sum up, although technically possible there is no quarantee you will have the code proper in your document so inserting it in some program might be disaster in consequences.

How to display a word document in LiveCycle

Hi guys,
I want to create a dynamic pdf form by using LiveCycle Designer ES. In one part of my pdf form I want to display the content from another Word Document. That means this content will automatically update as long as I change the content in Word Document. How can I do that? Or Can LiveCycle do that? Thanks!
Hui

Word is not a valid data source. You can connect to ODBC connections or web services. if you want to create one of those to return the doc then so be it ....but you cannot connect to Word directly.

Using PowerShell to Copy the content of a Word Document and Paste that content into a New Message in Outlook

So, I'm a little new to PowerShell and I came across a PowerShell which allow me to copy the content od a spreadsheet, into the new message in Outlook 2007. I have search and search on a way to do the same with a Word Document. I would like to
create a PowerShell Script that copies the content of a Word Document and paste that content in an email message.
I am basing my script on this
#Create and get my Word Obj
$w1 = New-Object -comobject Word.Application
$w1.Visible = $True
$UserWord = $w1.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\hhhh\Documents\Powershell\test.docx")
#create outlook Object
$Outlook = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
$Mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "[email protected]"
$Mail.Recipients.Add("[email protected]")
#Add the text part I want to display first
$Mail.Subject = "Test email"
$Mail.Body = "My Comment on the Excel Spreadsheet"
#Then Copy the Word using parameters to format it
$Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor.Range().PasteExcelTable($true,$false,$false)
#Then it becomes possible to insert text before
$wdDoc = $Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor
$wdRange = $wdDoc.Range()
$Mail.Display()
Any Help would be great!

My requirements are the Word documents are a template of sorts. The document will be changes prior to its email with some changes. The other twist is that the customer might more that one recipients, and each recipient will have to have a separate
email, with the same content of the word document.
For example: Say I'm doing maintenance. The Word doc might descript that maintenance, in a set format. Once save the script is run to generate 3 to 10 email with separate recipients with the body of the email containing what was in the Word document.
