Editing TEXT in WORD file.

Hi,
Is it possible to EDIT a text file (word) from FORMS 10g. Let's say I want to FIND and REPLACE text in a word file. Is there any tools or JAVA code that can help me achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Marc.

how to edit text from pdf file?

Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

Need to edit text in pdf file created in Illustrator CS6

I need for someone else to be able to edit text in a pdf I created from Illustrator. They have full acrobat and should be able to edit it. I have tried it myself to test before sending it but it's not working. The original file was created in Illustrator CS6 and saved as a pdf (text has not been created outlines). I opened the file in acrobat and saved it out as an extended file to be able to edit the text but no luck. Need to be able to highlight existing text and change it. I have tried edit text tool but instead of a selection box around each line of text, it puts a selection box around all of the text. I can highlight the text and delete it but am unable to change it. Each individual text line needs to be editable. Is there something I need to do differently in Illustrator to get it to work correctly in Acrobat?
If it helps- the file is a calendar and they need to be able to change the dates and events that are already there.

This really isn't a suitable use of Acrobat. You should all be using the same editing tool (i.e. Illustrator).
Extending files reduces the amount of editing Acrobat can do, it does not increase it.
The tool to edit text from Illustrator would be Edit Document Text. There is no guarantee it will break up nicely into lines, it's trying to help by making paragraph text.
Conceivably you could use a form for this (fill in the blank for dates) but really, you should be using the same tool. Not necessarily Illustrator, more Excel or specialist Calendar software.

How To Edit Excel or Word Files Using iPhone?

I am trying to do SIMPLE edits of Excel or Word files...
in my emails I can view them, but not able to edit them...
-Glenn

Not necessarily. The problem is that the SDK forbids saving data to the iPhone itself. That means, if you write a letter, say, and save it, you can only save it via the internet to either a server (like iDisk) which you can then access on your desktop, or through a program like Google Documents.
Until Apple permits saving files to your iPhone itself for direct sync (which is currently forbidden) you need to use 3rd party workarounds. I have no idea what Dataviz is working on, nor whether it will be approved once they do complete a program, nor how you will have to save data.
WIthout being able to save data for sync directly through your iPhone itself rather than the internet, it really makes editing on the iPhone end of the deal pretty worthless for a lot of is.
I use OmniFocus for my To-Do lists, for example. It does not sync directly with the desktop version, but you have to sync your desktop with the server (in my case iDisk) and the iPhone with the Server -- it keeps both my iPhone and Desktop in sync, but ONLY works because data is stored on iDisk as the "library" so to speak....if I were to be in an area without data access, I would not be able to keep up-to-date to-do lists.

Importing text from Word file while keeping formatting

I have text set up to convert to Goudy Oldstyle. When I try to import formatted text from a Word file, the italics don't translate to Goudy Oldstyle italic. It becomes Goudy Italic and then reads as a conflict. How would I be able to reformat just the italics?

Find Font is also in CS2 (Type > Find Font). Very easy, very simple.
In CS2, Find Font doesn't have the same Redefine Style functionality
that it does in CS3, but you can still find a missing font or font
variant and replace it with something that's not missing. You would have
to redefine styles manually, but you can use Find Font to figure out
which styles need redefining. (That is, if you've used styles; we don't
know yet because you haven't said.)

Since I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I can't edit a Microsoft Word file

Hi all, I recently downloaded OS X Yosemite and since then I haven't been able to edit and save Microsoft Word files. It's just like my keyboard doesn't work at all when i'm in the screen.

Problems editing text in pdf file

I have a user that is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and is wanting to edit a pdf form that someone sent him. When we open it and I use the Touchup Text Tool to try and delete some of the text it throws off the entire layout of the document. Is this because this document wasn't originally set up as a pdf? I don't understand why my edits throw everything off. For example when I highlight the white text in the reddish colored header and start typing new text, the new text appears down below the header next to the "For daily and terminal cleaning" text. I tried resaving the file and even tried exporting it to Word etc, and then reopening in Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard but none of that helped. Am I completely missing something easy in this program? I thought this would be a simple task.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Bill,
I have used the Text Touchup Tool to jump around through the document. The document is broken up into sections that are editable, but any editing of the very top part throws everything way off. I don't know anything about Designer. Do you think it's possible this document was created in something like Word and was scanned in as a pdf and that is why I am having a hard time editing it?
Thanks, malaize

Editing text in .ai files - CC and CS6

I am using Illustrator CC. My business partner is in CS6. When we save files to .pdfs or legacy versions, we lose the ability to use the character pallete. I can't change leading or use kerning tools. I am able to select the text box, and change letters, but that's it. I can't go in and select a line, and then change the leading. I can't select a line to change the kerning. When I open the version that my partner's worked on in CS6, I save it as a cc file. I'm not sure why we're losing all the editing capability. The box for "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" is checked. We have always had different versions of Illustrator for the last 6 years we've worked together, and this hasn't ever been a problem. Really annoying.

We don't share every file we work on. I don't think I should have to save to CS6 "just in case?"
Well, you cannot open higher version files with the lower version. And if the lower version can access any of that content, then that content is from the PDF protion of the file.
So, yes, if you want to be able to work with both version on potentially all of your files, you will have to downsave them. I mean, what do you expect?
The text problem you describe is typical for what is happening when you open the PDF part of a file.

Converting text in Draw document to editable Text in Word Processing

I have created a Draw document consisting of photographs and text. I now want to send the text only to a colleague for sub-editing. How do I convert the one to the other, please?

The easy way:
--[SCRIPT extractRawTextFromAWdraw]
Open an AppleWorks Draw document
run the script.
You will get on the Desktop a text file entitled
"extractedRawText.txt"
containing the document's raw text.

Edit Text in Word Report Footer

I have a Word Template I'm using with the Report Gen Toolkit. The reason I'm using a template is I need an image in the footer. However, I want to go in and do a search and replace on a text string in the footer. Has anyone tried this/accomplished it? Thanks!!
Kent

I didn't try to use the find and replace vi but I was able to modify the footer text by using the Insert field advance vi. In the attached snippet "myfooter " is the name of the bookmark I used in my Word template and the text control is used to enter the new text. Hope it help.

Editing Text in SWF file with Flash

Hio All,
I am a flash newbie. I have been asked to edit an existing
site and am coming up goose eggs. What I want to do is edit the
text in a swf movie. The movie opens up fine in flash, I can add
and delete text, but I cannot save the darn thing. Then I went to
the flash help section and the tutorials and they couldn't answer
my question, either. What am I doing wrong?
Advice is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards - Tami Swartz

How to edit text in MS Word HEADER using bookmarks?

I've been using the ActiveX calls to edit text in Word docs for a while. I assumed there was no trick to doing it in the header of a Word doc, but there seems to be no way to get into the header via LabView ActiveX calls.
Regretably, Word also makes this tricky. I found these VBA hints:
Bookmark, Go to Bookmark:
(This method does not work with bookmarks in Headers/Footers)
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Name"
Bookmark, Select a Bookmark:
(This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers)
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Select
Bookmark, Insert Text Using Range (Change Content of Range):
(This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers)
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range.Text="Text"
Bookmark, Insert Text Using Range (Add After Range):
(This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers)
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range.InsertAfter _
"Text"
I have been using the first one and I was hoping one of the last three would be simple to implement, but there does not seem to be a way to do any of them via LabView.
I do not have the reports tool kit, but I have seen nothing to indicate that it is possble with that either.
So, is it possible to edit the headed of a MS Word doc?

I'm also not happy about word and LabVIEW and I hope that there will be much more improvement with the open document format... right know I have to use a word document template .
However, here is a code I use to fill bookmarks even in the header. I found that somehow the bookmark vanish after manipulation and you have to add it again.
Hope that it help ....

How to link text from Word?

How can I link the text from Word to InDesign? Is it merely to link the entire document, or can I link the same document multiple times? This is because I want to add pictures and graphs between the lines.

File > Place.... and select the document. You might want to show import options as you do this. It will import as editable text that you can manipulate in just about any way you like. Ordinarily this text is not linked back to the original file, so subsequent editing in the Word file will not be refelcted in ID, but you can set your preferences before importing to Create Links to Text and Spreadsheet files (under File Handling) if you want to be able to update to any changes (editing and formatting you do in ID will be lost when you update, however). This option can be turned on or off as desired to link some files, but not others.
If you wish to, you can place the same file multiple times, but there may be simpler ways to get multiple copies, so more details about waht you need to do might help.

Edit a existing pdf file

Is it possible?? "I have an existing PDF file and I want to change every occurence of the word 'competitor' with the word 'myself' "

Your qustion is very nice.Sometime we need to edit
file whether it is non editable like your resume,it
Do you mean "resumes submitted to the company". Why
are you editing resumes submitted to you?Recruiters sometimes change resumes before submitting them to a company. [Those recruiters should be shot, especially if they do it without your prior approval. You should know exactly what they are sending to the company. If the recruiter has an issue or suggestion for your resume, the recruiter should tell you and have [b]you change it. They should not make changes that you haven't agreed to.]
will be good if you make your resume in pdf format
sothat nobody can write , but it will not static file
you have to edit someday sometime for someone.Or do you mean the resume sitting in My Documents
which will be converted from a Microsoft Word
document to what ever the company I'm applying to
wants then emailed off.If you can edit a PDF, so can the recruiter. Still PDF is harder for the recruiter to change than a Word document is. So, keep the Word document (or other editable source), change that as needed, and create a new PDF.
I assume the OP doesn't have any editable source for this document--that he just has the PDF. He could always retype the whole thing if he can't use copy-and-paste or OCR or something to get editable text from the file.
