Create/edit word document from in Forms 6

I want to create and or edit word documents stored in the operating system whose name (and path) is stored in the database. I have a form with a field of the doc name, how can I call word with the file name?
I've never used OLE before so be specific.
Thanks

I've never used OLE before so be specific.So you know what to use. Look at Forms Help. There is no better place for this. You will get examples there.
But Remember If you are using Forms on WEB this will give problems as OLE is not supported on WEB.

  • Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

    How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
    In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

    On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
    If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

  • Open word document from oracle forms 10g

    Hi,
    Could any one please guide me how to open a word document from forms 10g on client machine (windows). My word document resides on application server (unix).
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    I tried that, but it doesn't work.
    What I have done is, I have written a java code that has a function ope_word that opens up a word document. I have created jar out of it called wordbean.jar.
    Add this wordbean.jar in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java directory and also added in the formsweb.cfg file (archive_jini=wordbean.jar)
    Then I created a form and usinf fbean.register and fbean.invoke functions of forms, I am trying to call wordbean.jar.
    F.bean.register is registering all the components of wordbean.jar but it is not opening the word document.
    Could you please help ??

  • Create MS Word documents from data in an Apex Form/Report

    My requirement is to create editable RTF form letters from data managed by an Apex application. I do not have BI publisher available and am looking at using the XSL-FO route. Effectively I want the user to select the desired data in the Apex application, hit a button and be presented with a word document containing the data, which they can then customise.
    I know how to set Apex up to create PDFs based on reports using embedded XSL-FO but PDFs are not editable extra steps by the user. Also the user could export data to CSV and mailmerge with a word template but thats extra work for the user too.
    In the past I've used PLSQL/XML/XSL-FO with .NET to do what I want here by generating an XML file with PLSQL and using .NET to associate the XML file to XSLT/XSL-FO template files creating output as varied as .doc, .ps and .html files.
    Any ideas on acheving the same flexibility with Apex would be greatly appreciated. As my googling and forum hunting has not turned up much.
    Thanks

    Hi FunkyMonkey,
    Do you know Docufy | Simplify with docufy ? It's an APEX application that lets you create/generate/edit word templates. Else JasperReports Library | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net lets you generate a multitude of report formats (RTF/pdf/docx/xlsx/xml/etc.) you can use iReports to easily create xml templates for the reports, It's a lot simpler then xsl-fo.

  • In acrobat 9 why can it never create a word document from a pdf correctly?

    So I have acrobat 9 and because I have lots of issues with editing PDFs in it I occasionally need to convert the pdf into a word to help with the editing.  However it never even comes remotely close to converting it correctly. I mean it is not even close.  and the PDF are very simple, no graphs no pics just text. Very frustrating/.

    GIGO.
    If the PDF's "under the hood" build is good then good stuff is exported.
    If the PDF's "under the hood" build is garbage then garbage is exported.
    Using a PDF creation process that actually has full compliance with the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1) is a prerequisite for "Good stuff In".
    Some (but not most) PDF producers do this. Adobe's "do it".
    As well if such a PDF is a well-formed Tagged PDF then export is pleasingly good.
    The design function of "Tagged" PDF is two-fold.
    (1) Support Accessible PDF
    (2) Support export of PDF page content.
    Such export can be achieved by Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 3D, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat XI Pro.
    Have done it / do it with these.
    Not meaning to be unpleasant here but the problem is with the PDF you have and not Acrobat.
    Be well...

    how to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

    Hi Edit Converted Word Doc,
    What's happening when you try to edit the file? Have you tried triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit?
    Please let us know what sort of trouble you're running into. It would also be helpful to know how the PDF file was created, and what version of Word you're using.
    Best,

  • Edit a word document from a JSP page

    hi all,
    i would like to know if it is possible to edit a Word document from a JSP page (without uploading it).
    thanks.

    Technically no. But what you can do is output a word document to the browser with the contenttype "application/msword" and if word is installed it will be opened inside the browser.

  • How do I edit a document in PDF form?

    How do I edit a document in PDF form. I have a resume I need to edit and I've tried everything.

    1. Export your PDF file to Word using Export PDF tool in PDF Pack service then edit the file in MS Office.
    2. Open in Acrobat XI Pro then you can do minor text editing using Tools > Content Editing > Edit Text & Images tool.  You can download Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial version from www.adobe.com.

  • How do I edit word document attachments

    HI,
    i have a new iPad for work. I have installed both the free word app and the Polaris office app. I am able to receive word attachments and view them, but it won't allow me to open them for editing in the apps. I hold on the attachment, but the option to open with the app is not there. It will also not allow me to choose to email newly created word documents from the iPad in Word or Polaris Office.
    PLease help.
    Thanks,

    I have installed both the free word app
    The original free word app didn't support editing.  Microsoft recently announce the free app would support limited editing. You need office 365 to do full editing.
