Google Docs & WYSIWYG Editors

i have a new iMac (leopard) with the latest firefox and when i try to access google docs i get "Sorry, but this browser does not support web word-processing."
i tried with safari & opera, and got the same response. finally i had to use my PC notebook to access the documents. it looks like a mac os x issue.
with this new iMac i can access any online WYSIWYG editors at all. HELP!

thanks. i did all that, still no change. strangest thing is that i can access google docs using FF & Safari on my PC notebook. i think that these is a mc os setting thats wrong.
thank you again. how do i raise this with apple?

Using Google Docs to remotely convert documents.

Damn, this is just too cool.
GDD is a Python script that downloads all your Google Docs documents. What's even cooler is the fact that one can specify the conversion format. Which means, doc/docx/odt/rtf will be converted to HTML, xls/xlsx/ods will be converted to CSV (I don't really use spreadsheets, so I don't care) and PPT/PPTX/ODP will be converted to PNG (I hate effects anyways). I have tested it already, and the doc->html conversion works much better than OpenOffice's export functionality! Which means, you don't have to keep any office suite on your box!
I just found this thing and wanted to spread the word, so I didn't investigate it in further details. I mean, there are several things I'd like to figure out:
1) Can Google Docs be used to convert a local file that way? E.g., if I have an HTML file, can I get a .DOC out of Google Docs without running it in a browser?
2) Consequently, can mutt be scripted to perform that kind of conversion on every document attachment and store it with the original e-mail? I guess, one could get Gmail to send all the documents to Google Docs automatically (I think so), but that will end up as a mess.
And I'd probably rewrite the script in shell - just for fun (it could be a nice challenge, since I am currently learning shell scripting).
So, why would one need such a thing? Well, me personally, I only write documents. They are usually not very big, but they need to be done quickly. So, I prefer a text editor to a word processor. Using discount, the awesome Markdown interpreter with lots of extensions, I can get all the formatting features (tables, images, footnotes) I could possibly need from a word processor. However, I can't send documents in HTML, so it would be nice to convert those to DOC (yeah, you can just change the extension and it would work in Word anyways, but still). Finally, from time to time I do get to read spreadsheets or presentations (but I don't have to make them myself), so this functionality is also nice. I am a total geek when it comes to being lightweight, so I was really intrigued to learn about this thing.

Did you find a solution to this? Using gdd I guess one would need to do something like upload input, specify wished format, download output, remove input. Skimming through the readme, gdd did not seem to supported upload, though.
I _think_ this is possible using googlecl (http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/). You can upload the HTML file, then download the DOC pretty easily, or so it seems. Check out some googlecl examples to see what I mean (http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ExampleScripts). googlecl is in the AUR, hope this helps.

Creating a cfhttp multi part form post for google docs upload

Hey all,
If you saw my last thread, you know I am working with google docs and uploading documents to it. Well I got basic document uploading working, but now I am trying to include meta data. Google requires you to include the metadata with the actual file data and seperate them by using a multi part form upload. I don't know exactly the process for doing so, but they have a handy code snippet of the desired results at
http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingDoc s
So I am basically trying to mimic that payload, however I am continually getting an error stating that there are no parts in a multi part form upload.
<errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>InvalidEntryException</code><internalReason>No parts detected in multipart message</internalReason></error></errors>
to be exact. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I figure it is one of two things, either I am not including the actual data in the payload properly (I am currently using a body type param for the payload, but I have also tried a formfield named content to deliver it. Neither worked). So maybe I need to do something else tricky there? The other thing which I am not reallly sure about is the content-length attribute. I don't know exactly how to calculate that, and I read in another forum that a content length attribute was messing that guy up. Right now I am just taking the lenght of the payload string and multiplying by 8 (to get the number of bytes for the entire payload) but hell if I know if that is right. It could be I just don't know how to set up the parts for the message, it seems pretty straight forward though. Just define a boundary in the content-type, then put two dashes before it wherever you define a new part, and two dashes trailing the last part.
Anyway, here is my code, any help is much appreciate. I'm a bit beyond my expertise here (not really used to trying to have to roll my own http requests, nevermind multipart post form data) so I'm kinda flailing around. Thanks again.

How can I stop Firefox from opening pdfs in Google Docs?

Whenever I want to look at or download a webspage which is a Microsoft Word or a pdf document, I am automatically sent to Google Docs to view it. Mayvbe bexcauuse of my satellite connection, I cthen have huge problems in downloading these webpages. How can I disconnect Firefox from automatically opening these pages in Google Docs?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, these settings are exactly the same on my troublesome PC as they are on my laptop which does not have this problem. The PC is Windows 7, and laptop is XP. I have in the past used the PC to access google documents.

Most full featured word processor? (table editing, google docs) and webdav on the ipad

Hi All,
So I have had a frustrating time trying to add rows to a table in a word processing document on Google Docs. Are there any word processors that support this? Quickoffice and Documents to Go do not as of this writing. (May 26th, 2011.) at least not that I can determine.
Does Office2HD support this feature? Do any of the word processors?
My current thoughts/what Apple needs to do/
Currently I am thinking about buying Pages and then using Goodreader to open the file in pages, and then saving the pages document to idisk/webdav and then moving it to google docs from idisk/webdav using Goodreader (though it appears you can use Readdledocs too.)
According to the makers of Docsportal, if Pages supported Open With, I could Open With Docsportal and it would be uploaded. Alternatively, Docsportal could simply add idisk or webdav support, but I can understand why they are waiting for Apple to get their act together.
Currently, I have discovered that Quickoffice does support mounting quickoffice as a drive as does goodreader. Docs2Go does not support this feature. This is a nice way to get files in and out. The Mac will support WebDAV for the Mac filesystem as of Lion allowing programs like goodreader or readdledocs to connect to it.
--Sam

I viewed the Office2HD Help file and it seems to support table creation.
http://www.bytesquared.com/products/office/ipad/basic.asp?product=office2pro#ins ert_table
I will post back once I am able to edit a table.
Office2HD as mentioned elsewhere in this forum supports Google Docs.
It does also support WebDAV (mounting as an external drive.) The help file mentions that it now allows you to navigate using the cursor or arrow keys.

Uploading exported Excel file to Google Docs

I exported a spreadsheet as an Excel .xls file, but Google won't let me upload it giving me an error:
We're sorry, but we were unable to upload this document.
If you have the desktop word processor installed on this computer, there are two other easy ways to bring the file into Google Docs:
Using the Clipboard
Open the document in the desktop word processor.
Type ⌘-A to select the contents of the entire document.
Type ⌘-C to copy it to the clipboard.
In Google Docs, create a new document.
When the Edit window appears, type ⌘-V to paste it in.
Save as HTML
Open the document in the desktop word processor.
Choose File > Save As...
In the dialog that appears, select Web Page (*.htm; *.html) for the "Save as type."
Save the file, and make a note of the file name and folder, as you'll need it next.
In Google Docs, choose Upload again from the main page.
This time, specify the html file you just made in the desktop word processor.
Using either of these approaches, you should now have the document open in Google Docs.

Anyone else have this problem?
It seems Google doesn't like the Excel version that Numbers exports. The file will open fine in Excel and if I re-save it from Excel it will upload no problem to Google Docs.

HP LaserJet Professional CM1415fnw - eStorage print apps - Google Docs

Hello HP,
Why there are only 10 apps available for my CM1415 multifunction printer. I would like to have eStorage app to work; Google docs or box.net and why not other apps like facebook too. The CM1415 has a beautiful 3" color touch screen but it has no use for this purpose -->why?. These apps are available to cheaper printer models too.
Google Docs app error message is "Not Available for this Printer" Is it coming to this printer in future?
BR,
Jarno

Hello,
Thanks for the reply but you didn't answer to my question. I know how to change those apps, but the problem is not in that. The problem is that I bought the multifunction network machine so I could scan my documents to the internet but now I found out that it is not possible with my CM1415fnw multifunction network printer. It is sad, but cheaper Samsung and Canon can scan to at least network drive (and usb of course).
I found out that HP Finland doesn't know printers that are suitable to eStorage. So they cant help me. Who knows then if HP even doesn't know. Actually HP support first gave me instructions how to get it work but after few times double checks they said "sorry, no can do". I am not quite satisfied.
I have these very "handy" apps;
Web Sudoku
WeatherNews
DreamWorks...
Disney
HP Quick Forms
Google Calendar (why this works?)
Yahoo!
and F24 (news service in English, France and some other unknown language)
There are some other apps too that I would like to have and I am confused that this price range multifunction machine (350-400 dollars) I cant have all the apps available.
BR,
Jarno

Excel Documents in Google Docs Doesn't Work on FF 4.0

I just did my recent updates of Firefox and now I cannot open any of my google doc excel files or even create a new one. I keep getting an error message that says "A browser error has occurred.
Please hold the Shift key and click the Refresh button to try again." Of course this does nothing and then I have to leave a move to a different browser to open my documents.

Thanks for the reply.
I clear cookies and cache all the time and I've done it a few times regarding this problem as well, and I've also already tried disabling hardware acceleration. Now I tried starting Firefox in safe mode, restored defaults, disabled plugins one by one and updated the outdated ones but it didn't help. The problem's still the same.
It's not a major issue b/c simply minimizing and restoring fixes it but it's kinda odd anyway since there was no problem with earlier versions of Firefox and it occurs on every machine I've tried it with.
The ebank utilizes Java so clearly I couldn't test disabling Java plugins, but I've reinstalled Java, cleared its temporary files and removed certificates and all that doesn't help. Could it still have something to do with Java?

Problem opening Google docs after upgrade to Safari 7.1

I was using these spreadsheets and documents just fine until the last upgrade to 7.1
Now the pages start to load and then flash on and off, will not hold on the screen and finally display an error message: "A problem repeatedly occurred with __docname___" The only option given is to "Reload Page" which results in the same error message.
How can I get back into working with these Google docs?

WYSIWYG Editor in Webdynpro for ABAP

Hello,
we need a simple WYSIWYG Editor in ABAP Webdynpro to format some Texts, which are saved in the backend system.
The Editor should produce HTML-Code or something like that.
Anyone an IDEA?
We have tried the following:
ABAP Webdynpro Application-> IFRAME -> BSP Appication with FCKEditor .. but problem is the data exchange back to the A4WD Application.
Edited by: Steffen Epple on May 20, 2008 5:20 PM

Hello Thomas,
thanks for this info. So with the EHP the WYSWIG UI Element will be part of the standard UIs?
Which EHP do you mean because we're doing currently an RampUp with SAP EHP3 for ERP 6.0?
So you mean Basis Netweaver EHP? don't you?

Safari 5.1.5 not working with Google Docs

In a Google text doc, there is a problem with line spacing such that all the lines in the doc are stacked up on the first line making it unreadable and unusable. I've had this problem with the last few releases of Safari but the problem has just become worse.
If I click anywhere in the body of the doc I get:
     Google Docs error
     This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible.
     Please try one of these interim solutions:
Reload this page.
Download the document by right-clicking on it in the main document list and selecting "Export."
I'm running Safari in 64-bit so that's not the problem and switching back to 32-bit doesn't fix it.
I can view the original format of the doc with proper line spacing by selecing File > See original, but can't edit the doc at all.
Anybody come across a solution or work-around for this?
Thanks,
Paul

Try another browser, such as Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox.

Why are my jpegs or tiffs blurry when I view Pages with Quick Look or in Google Docs?

Hi,
I exported high-res images from Photoshop that I used at a much reduced size in a Pages document (it's a jpeg of my signature). While editing the document in Pages, the image looks very clear. However, in Quick View mode the image is blurry. It is also blurry if I import the document to Google Docs. Does anyone understand why this might be?
Thanks

I know what you mean, but I resized it by making it smaller, so the resolutions should have been more than fine. Don't you think? If I had dragged it into Pages and then enlarged the image I would understand it getting blurry but not the other way around. Also, it looks totally fine in Pages. It only looks bad when I view the document in Quick Look or upload it to Google Drive.

Need help putting a menu designed in Dreamweaver in an external WYSIWYG Editor

I put together a menu that contains spry widgets in Dreamweaver. I need to get what I made into a website hosted by another company. The site allows you to create your own pages through a wysiwyg editor. I'm having trouble figuring out how to attach the .js and .css files. I tried copying the source code into the HTML source editor but it ignored the script and css. I then tried putting the code from the .js and .css file into the source editor but I'm doing something wrong. I'm new to HTML and Javascipt and I have a feeling it is a pretty obvious mistake. I would really appreciate some instruction or advice on how to properly put all of the components into the editor.

Open those individual files to see the code.
<html>
<head>
Copy and paste script code between <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> tags.
Copy and paste CSS styles between <style type="text/css"> and </style> tags.
Insert conditional comments (if any) below the scripts and CSS styles.
</head>
<body>
This is where your page content goes
</body>
</html>
Best of luck!
