Dreamweaver CS6 importing word document

Running dreamweaver cs6 on OS x 10.8.1
One of the new options in dreamweaver cs6 is importing word documents. (file, import, word document). In OS x I can't find this option. Other option is to drag the word document in dreamweaver page.
Both I can't find/ not working.
Dreamweaver working under operating system windows 7 can operate quite well!!
Please help me out

That doesn't matter at all. Of course it will have to be reformatted. The reality is web developers who move content will be asked to incorporate Office material in web pages. It would be nice to be able to handle this input internally rather than having to invoke Office apps to manually move it. It's especially irksome when you have to do it 20 times a day.
BTW, I found out this is only a case on a Mac. Windows Dreamweaver CC has it.

File names after importing word document

I'm creating webhelp by importing word document. My help is in two languages and yes i have two word documents. To keep the html filenames same for every same topic in english and arabic. I change the file names. Now i want save this setting for the project so while importing the documents again I should be able to reuse this changing filenames. So that it can be life saver for me by not repeating to change the filenames again.

Thinking about this some more, I don't think the feature will do what you want. The filename and any formula will work according to how you paginate and will create a filename based on the heading. That will, I assume, differ from language to language.
The only thing I can think of experimenting with is to have the headings in language one in all documents with the other language being below but not as a heading. Post import you could amend the Topic Title and Topic Heading but leave the filename. It's klunky but the best I can think of right now.

Headings are getting bookmarked while importing word document to Robohelp 9

HI everyone. Easter wishes in advance.
I have a problem while importing word document to Robohelp.
Version - MS Word 2010
Robohelp 9
While I import word document to Robohelp after mapping styles, my heading styles are getting tagged as bookmarks in RH.
I have customized word template along with customized RH css.
How can I prevent the headings (all the heading level used in a document) getting tagged as bookmark after I import word docs to RH.
If there is no solution is there any solution to remove bookmarks at one go from RH.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The quickest way to resolve this is to create a new project and import a document that causes this problem. Zip up the project and document and send it to me via my site so that I can take a look.
You can strip out any confidential content and it only needs to be a document short enough to show the problem.

Importing Word Documents to RoboHelp 7 HTML

Hi,
We are using RoboHelp 7 HTML for our project requirements.
The approach we adopted is as follows -
1.) Develop content in MS Word 2003 with proper formatting
including the styles defined for tables, fonts, paragraphs, various
levels of headings etc. We will have high number of word documents
which need to be reviewed by the SMEs before putting them in
RoboHelp.
2.) Copy the content to RoboHelp. We are using the File >
Import > Word Document. We find the following issues in the word
documents thus imported -
a.) Formatting errors like the font of the numbered list is
not consistent. The numbers have a different font while the ontent
has a different font.
b.) The content in Tables is also not properly indented. It
touches the borders.
c.) Foreign characters are being introduced wherever
double-quotes are used. Eg: ”r;Other” (it should have
been "Other")
How do we address the above-listed issues? How do we get the
same output in RoboHelp as can be seen in the formatted word
document? Do you suggest any better alternative?
Thanks & Regards,
Anil

1] Yes. Non-RH users develop the content.
2a & 2b] What I have noticed is that the numbers appear
in Times New Roman while the content appears in Arial after
importing. As mentioned, we have lot of documentation (many word
documents). So each word doc I import, a CSS gets generated and
editing them itself is a herculean task. Is there any work around
this so that we can gain time and carry out the import smoothly?
2c] Could not find the patch in your website. One of your
posts says that it is Item 21. But cannot find any downloadable
link.
As suggested I tried reading the article in Printed
Documentation. But really didn't know which one you were referring
to.

Importing Word Documents with Images

Hi, When I import word document in to Robohelp, it imports
the images also. Now, I have duplicate images in multiple topics.
How do I avoid duplicate images being imported? Is there anyway,
where I can collate and store all the images in a single folder,
instead of saving it in multiple folders?

You're right. One reason this plan never came to fruition is
because this doesn't take a lot of time.
When I first came aboard, I envisioned a lot of importing of
Word documents where each change was done to a Word doc (complete
with macros and useful AutoText) and then imported into RoboHelp.
Then, a global search would take care of the image problem. But
that isn't really our MO, so this never happened.
Although, it's a great way to create a new project. Author
your Word documents with meaningful characters to represent each
icon. Then when you import everything, just include the graphic
once and then do a global search.

Importing word documents - but losing all images which was in it

Hi,
I am fairly new to Robohelp and recently got hold of Robohelp 8.
I have already written a Help File for my company's recent product, and the help file was in word 2007 with a lot of screenshots of icons, buttons and dialog boxes pasted in it.
On importing the word document to Robohelp, none of these images are being imported and I cannot see any of them in the project view.
I wanted to use the link to word document feature so that i do not have to keep re-importing the document for any changes made - however, because the images are not being imported, i now have to add them manually to the project.
1 - this is tiring and very time consuming
2 - the project files to which i add the pictures are no longer updated from the word document if any of the text changes as the project is preserving the changes i made to the file (which was only adding the image manually). Kind of defeat the purpose of link to the word document.
HELP
I would really appreciate any help in
1 - How to import a word document containing images (screenshots, icons etc) without losing the images
2 - Keep the word document to update the project even after i add any images to the project manually.
Thanks
Nivekz

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.

Import word documents

Getting error could not load add on program when trying to
import word document.

Hi all
Author care, I would tend to disagree with this. Sure its an
option. But one fraught with coming to terms with Frame.
Julie, I might suggest that you investigate the workflow a
bit deeper. For starters, what RoboFlavor are you using? RoboHelp
for Word or RoboHelp HTML?
I suppose either way, you need to more deeply examine how the
conversion occurs. There aren't all that many folks that use
RoboHelp for Word any more. Most are using RoboHelp HTML. In
RoboHelp HTML, there is a template used to map Word Styles to
RoboHelp styles. If you were to get your styling mapped accurately,
there shouldn't be all that much work to making changes to the
underlying Word documents. Of course, if the source Word documents
change, you currently have to delete the HTML topics and re-import.
Either that or totally abandon bringing the content in from Word
and just edit the resulting HTML pages that were created.
As for merging, I think we need more information as well as
knowing which RoboFlavor you are using. I know you said you *have*
RoboHelp for Word, but you didn't actually state you were using it.
So I'm left wondering as I'm sure others are.
Cheers... Rick

Working with imported Word documents

I've noticed that Pages (for iOS) gets very slow and laggy -- especially the on--screen keyboard -- when working with imported Word documents. Is there a method to convert imported files to native Pages documents, and thereby maybe speed up the app?

Turns out, it's not just Word-imports that are slow. Pages in general is just slow, and seems to have become this way after the iOS 5 upgrade.

Error when importing Word documents

Hallo
I'm using RoboHelp 8 from the Technical Communication Suite.
When I try to import a doc/docx file for my HTML help I get the message: 'The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.'
Actually I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed in its default path.
Do I have to set some particular options? Some days ago I had my PC replaced with a new one and I had to reinstall all of my programs. I think I've missed some settings.
Thank you

Strange
I was working with Office 2010 and RH8 almost without problems with my old PC. Maybe the colleagues from our EDP department have installed a different version of MS Word (a newer service pack?).
I'll try to modify the registry as suggested in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2991411
thank you

Help with image file names when using Import Word document feature

Hello,
I am using File >> Import >> Word document into an HTML template. If the Word document contains images, the images are written to the directory specified in my Site Default Image Folder. Here is my question: As I was teaching myself the Import function, one time the images were automatically named to match the page name. So for example, if my page is named Create.html, the images would be named Create_image001.jpg, Create_image002.jpg, etc. I can't remember how I enabled this feature (or maybe I was dreaming) but if anyone knows how to control the name of the images imported from MS Word, please let me know. I've searched and Googled for hours and can't find a way to control the image file names.
Thanks in advance,
Shellie

I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not. Anyone have any luck? Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to.

What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad2

What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad 2?

You first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - the iPad doesn't have a file structure like a 'normal' computer, and every file/document needs to be associated with an app. If you don't have such an app then options include Apple's Pages app and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD. How you then get the documents on the iPad will depend upon the app that you have/get as different apps may use different methods e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word

Hello guys,
I'm currently evaluating RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2.208. I'd like to import an existing Word document to a fresh new RoboHelp project. Unfortunately, everytime I've got the message below:
"The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word"
"Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
I tried with several Word 2003 and Word 2010 documents but with no success.
Could someone help me?
Thans by advance

Hi there
I think it would probably be safe to assume that the next version will support Office 2010. I think logic alone can tell us that much.
The larger question would be to ask when that next version is likely to appear. And my own purely unscientific speculation will be to hold the envelope to my head like the great Johnny Carson did. I proclaim we will see a new version appear some time in 2011. As to whether that will be early or late 2011, only Adobe can actually say for certain. Or even if a version will appear during that year!
Cheers... Rick

Importing Word documents

When I try to import a word document, I get the message file
to large and I need to copy and paste into several web pages.
Then go to copy and paste and get the same message.

OK, the size is obviously not the problem. The next thing to
try is
importing or copying and pasting a different Word document.
If that
works, it suggests there's something wrong with the original
document.
If it produces the same problem, it means there's probably
something
amiss with Dreamweaver. The most common cause of problems is
a corrupted
cache file. Try deleting WinFileCache********.dat as
described in

Import Word document

I am trying to import a Word document. Created new HTML
document with design view open. When I pull down on File/Import the
only options are "XML into Template" and "Tabular Data." If I go
with either, I am unable to import a Word doc. There is no option
for a Word doc. Could the option be hidden somewhere? Using Mac OS

RH Crash when linking or importing word documents

RH9 build 9.0.1.232
Office 2010
Webhelp (custom skin)
I have created a template from a successful project which i completed over three months ago.
I am now trying to create a project using the template and getitng persistent crashes when attempting to Import or Link Word documents.
This is causing a great hold up to the project delivery.
Any help would be appreciated

Please see the article on my site about Project Templates. The script has been found to have some issues.
You say have deleted the file and then ask what will happen if you remove it. You did, you said so "Deleting the file seemed to work". If that is not what you mean, please clarify what you mean by removing the file.
If you create a project using the script, then close the project and delete the CPD, it should be OK. If there ae going to be problems, you will know pretty soon.
