Forms6i - OLE2 and word (mailmerge)

edit: never mind, my bad.

Have you tried adding a call to the Word Application's "Activate" method?
i.e. client_ole2.INVOKE( V_App, 'Activate');
Also, you might need to call SYNCHRONIZE in your form just BEFORE opening MS-WORD to keep forms from taking the foreground and focus back immediately after the trigger concludes.

OLE2 and Word 97

I'm trying to manipulate a word document via Forms. I'm using OLE2 and have been successfull in changing fonts sizes and font names.
The problem I'm having is that I want to set the Orientation to Landscape but just can't seem to do it.
I am using OLE2.INVOKE(word.hApp,'FilePageSetup,Args);
I have tried various different permutaions for the argument list but to no avail.
Please can you help. Thanks in advance.

Hi XML Publisher allows you to call the reports from an URL. So you can use the forms built-in Web.show_document to call your report.
There is one catch. You will need to run SSO to address the reports defined in the folders different as the guest one. If you do not want or can not run using SSO you will need to post your reports in the guest folder which will make them accessible to everybody able of addressing the URL.

How to set Word MailMerge delimiter thru OLE2

I wrote a program for mail merging data from Oracle with Word letter template, but still have a small problem that the user has to specify the field delimitor and record delimitor in the Mail Merge dialog?
Does someone know how to specify the delimitors for the MailMerge object in MS Word?

Codes here:
PROCEDURE execute_macro(p_template_file_name VARCHAR2, p_data_file_name VARCHAR2) IS
-- Declare the OLE objects
MyApplication OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
MyDocuments OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
MyDocument OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
MyMailMerge OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
-- Declare handle to the OLE argument list
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
-- Create the Word.Application object and make Word visible
-- by setting the 'Visible' property to true
MyApplication:=OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MyApplication, 'Visible', 1);
-- get a handle on Documents collection
MyDocuments:=OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(MyApplication, 'Documents');
-- Open a new document
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, p_template_file_name);
Mydocument :=OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(MyDocuments,'Open',args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.INVOKE(Mydocument, 'Activate', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
MyMailMerge :=OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(Mydocument, 'MailMerge');
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, p_data_file_name);
OLE2.INVOKE(MyMailMerge, 'OpenDataSource',args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.INVOKE(MyMailMerge, 'Execute',args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);

Forms6i OLE2 Word

An application that I'm supporting uses OLE2 to start MS Word, open a document tempate and add database values to it, before closing it.
v_1 := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
ole2.set_property(v_1,'Visible',1);
It it possible to start Word minimized or as a background process? The batch process can create >50 individual letters and it makes the PC unusable.
I've never used OLE2 before....
John

It's already a client/server application - with a unix database.
I just want to be able to work with the Word process working in the background.
I think the solution is to comment the following line:
ole2.set_property(l_app,'Visible',1);

OLE2 and DDE package books

Hi All,
I need to fully understand OLE2 and DDE package. Pressing F1 provides very limited help for me. Anyone here have or know some links of any reading materials(e-books, documentation)?
Please share... I'm drowned with my tasks here.
Thanks!

DDE is seriously outdated and should only be considered as a last resort. As for OLE2, concern yourself not with learning the OLE2 package, but instead, with understanding OLE automation. The OLE2 package is just a wrapper that makes it possible to manipulate OLE automation servers from PL/SQL. Once you understand OLE, using OLE2 should come easily.
I learned OLE automation as a Visual Basic developer, before ever working with Oracle, and found it to be fairly straightforward. The easiest and cheapest way to learn OLE automation is by using Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications IDE -- an Office component. Search this forum using keywords VBA and Tutorial, and you will find information that should hopefully prove helpful.
As for Mark's assertion that XML provides a simpler solution, there are important differences between the XML and OLE approaches. The XML approach involves simply creating a document, whereas the OLE approach involves instructing the OLE server application to create a document. XML might be perfect, for example, if you wish to create Word documents on a *NIX server. On the other hand, when your environment permits it, OLE makes it possible to leverage application functionality, like Excel's data analysis functions.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
regards
Rob

Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

How can I download excel and word

I need work in excel and word in my iPed - please guide

You cannot download or install Word or Excel for the iPad. MS has not released an iOS version.
There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think. Apple also has their iWorks suite of apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote that are compatible with the MS Office apps.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

-HP Officejet Pro 8610
-problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
-My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

Hey there @TM-10
Welcome to the Community
I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
Good luck

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.
