Open xml relationship target is NULL when inserting chart into a mapped rich text content control in Word 2013

Hi,
I have a word document with a rich text content control that is mapped to a CustomXml. You can download an example here
http://1drv.ms/1raxoUr
I have looked into the specification ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 and i understand that the attribute Target for the element Relationship can be set to NULL at times(Empty header and footer in the specification).
Now, i have stumbled on Target being NULL also when inserting a diagram into a word document. For example:
<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/oleObject"
Target="NULL" TargetMode="External" xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships" />
Why is Target="NULL" and how should i interpret that Target is null?
Br,
/Peter
Peter

Hello Peter,
The relationship in question is associated with the externalData element (ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 §21.2.2.63). For the other two charts in this document, the corresponding relationships are of the other allowable form:
<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/package" Target="../embeddings/Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet1.xlsx"/> <Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/package" Target="../embeddings/Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet2.xlsx"/>
For charts 1 and 3 in your document, the data can be edited via the Chart Tools ribbon control. The option to edit data is not available for chart 2. The data used to create chart 2 is the same default spreadsheet data used for chart 1, and in fact the spreadsheet
references are still present in the file format, despite there being no apparent link to a spreadsheet for chart 2.
Thus, it appears that Target="NULL" in this context means that the chart is not associated with an external data source. The specification doesn't have much to say about the semantics of the Target attribute (ISO/IEC 29500-2:2012 §9.3.2.2) beyond
the fact that it be a valid xsd:anyURI, which the string "NULL" is.
It looks like there is some unexpected interaction between the chart and the content control. I don't think the file format is the issue. You will probably need to pursue that behavior from the product perspective via a support incident, if that behavior
is unexpected. If you still have questions about what is seen in the file format, please let me know.

Automatically inserting rich text content control

I have many word .docx forms which I would like to convert to a form which can be filled in with Reader. The word forms presently would be like ...we [name of parties] desire to enter into...
I would like to have a program which automatically finds the brackets and inserts a rich text content control box and then inserts whatever is within the brackets for the placeholder wording.
Can this be done and if so, is it code in XML or am I totally off my rocker?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
According to the description, you are using OPCHelper converting the Word document into byte. As far as I know, the OPCHelper is a third-part class, I suggest contact the vendor to get more effective response.
For this issue, did you want to retrieve byte data from the Office package? And based on my understanding, the office document support Open XML format is a zip. We can directly get the data from the zip package via
GZipStream.
Hope it is helpful, and if I misunderstood please feel free to correct me.

Word 2010 Copy Rich Text Content Control

I am working on a Word 2010 template that links to another word document to copy information from Rich Text Content Controls. I am able to copy values between RTF controls but losing the rich text formatting - only text is copied over.
Any Suggestions on how to copy between rich text controls and still preserve the formatting?
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
For Each editCC In editCCs
If appendText Then
'editCC.Range.Text = editCC.Range.Text & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = editCC.Range & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range
Else
'editCC.Range.Text = sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = sourceCC.Range
End If
Next
End If
Next
End If
Thanks in advance

Try something along the lines of:
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
    For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
      Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
      If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
        For Each editCC In editCCs
          With editCC.Range
            If appendText Then
              .InsertAfter vbCr
              .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
            End If
            .FormattedText = sourceCC.Range.FormattedText
          End With
        Next
      End If
    Next
End If

Word 2013 - Bulleted list inside rich text content control

Hi,
I'm mapping a rich text content control to an xml node within my custom xml.
While i'm in design mode i try to format the text so that it will be a numbered list.
One thing that i noted though was that the numbers are placed outside the content control. This is only my first observation.
The thing is, the rich text(RTF) that is saved within the custom xml is later used to populate a second document. This works great except for one small issue. The numbered list is not showing up within the second document.
Would appreciate any help i can get with this issue.
Br,
/Peter
Peter

Hi Peter
This is tricky, because...
By default, when you insert a new RichText content control it will not include the paragraph mark for the paragraph it's in. Numbering is a paragraph-level formatting.
If you work in Word, you can see this. Turn on the display of non-printing characters (the backwards P button in the "Home" tab of the Ribbon). Insert a RT content control and observe where the paragraph mark (backwards P) is in relation to the
CC's boundaries. Now press ENTER and observe that the paragraph mark is WITHIN the CC. Apply number formatting and you'll see that it's NOW inside the CC.
You can do this the other way around: apply the numbering then press ENTER. Again, it should now be within the CC.
This behavior is by-design. I would guess that lists the users type would have more than entry, so the numbering will be within the CC range when the custom XML is extracted?

Print PDF rich text editor using BI Publisher

Hi !
I have a CLOB field from database, and I store data using a rich text editor, like a MS Word system, here as you know, I can write words in bold format, use differents kind of colors, etc... and use all formatted text that the editor allow me. I haven't problems once save this data into table and restore again, I can see all this data formatted , and I don't loose any property of this formatted text.
The problem is when I want print this information in the same way that I can see in the rich text editor. I use BI Publisher for generate a PDF, when I send this field for print a PDF, the PDF that BI publisher generate, print only text, prints all characters including generating that text is formatted, for example, if the field is written in bold print "hello" in the PDF generated by BI Publisher see "< b. > hello ".
Please which is the way for print the same as is displayed in the rich text editor?
Thanks in advance.

Bump Again. I understand how to remove the HTML tags, thats not a problem. The problem is getting the report to print the data from a Rich Text Field stored in a CLOB or NCLOB as formatted text. Is there a "Master Style Template" or "Master Rich Text Field Subtemplate"?

How to send a mail with rich text content like using outlook

Hi All. I have a serious problem. When we send the mail from
outlook express or yahoo, we can send the mail with the text appearing
in the mail with bold font , with different colors, underlined etc.
If i type this kind of text in any word processor and mail that content through java mail then the message should be received by the recepient with all that bold,color and underlines etc as it is. Can anybody please help me in this case ASAP.

Go to this site and download the htmlArea Javascripts. Embedd them in your HTML and it will turn your normal HTML Text Area into Rich Text Area. Your real code will include all HTML tags. For example if you select some text and make it bold , the real HTML output will look like YOUR TEXT . So i guess your recipient should be able to receive HTML contents.

Rich text prevents formatting of a report

We are using Crystal Reports Basic 2008 (bundled with VS200*). I have a rather complex report that is used to print a batch of purchase orders. The report includes several subreports that are printing a single rich text field. These are used by our users to attach customized comments to the document.
Sometimes the documents will not format. We get the dreaded "report could not be submitted for background processing" message.
I have reviewed the troubleshooting document found [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a6f5e8-8164-2b10-7ca4-b5089df76b33?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. It does not seem that any of the suggestions indicated are applicable to my situation. I tried the untested solution of adding "WhilePrintingRecords" to all the formulas that would let me, but that didn't help.
I have a sample document where I can break the document by simply removing a blank line in the rich text. Adding the blank line back fixes the formatting. In working with our customers, we are finding that a change to vertical whitespace can fix the error, but it takes trial and error to figure out which comment on which document fixes the report. This is especially troublesome when the report is a batch that includes 100s of purchase orders. In those cases, we have had to resort to individually submitting each document then fixing the handful that won't process on their own.
I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions that others could provide would be appreciated.

I've got three suggestions;
1) Make sure you are using SP 1 for CR 10.5. SP 1 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
msi is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010010692008E/crredist2005_sp1_x86.zip
2) See if you have the same issue with CR 2008. You can download eval of CR 2008 from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
If CR 2008 works, you have two options;
a) Upgrade to CR 2008
b) Create a phone case at the link below and discuss the issue with a technical support rep. It may be that this is an issue that will need to be resolved by QA / R&D for CR 10.5. Be aware that a solution for a fix (any version of CR) may take 6+ months...
3) If CR 2008 does not work, create a phone case and submit the report with saved data to the technical support rep for testing and possible submission to QA / R&D for a fix.
Link to a phone case submission;

i.e spaces are not coming(DB text is having many   but report is not picking them), the List is coming one below other without any indentation.
Urgent help needed!
Thanks
Shaikh Sadaf

Hi Shaikh,
The issue is because the web browser's job is to compress multiple sequence space characters into one and therefore all of the leading spaces are removed.
In HTML placeholder, it should be design.
To workaround the issue, we can add one more character at the begin of the multiple sequence space. We can add one more calculated field to do so:
 1. Double-click the dataset.
 2. Go to "Fields" page.
 3. Click "Add" >> "Calculated Field"
 4. Type a filed name, then in the "Field Source", type the following expression:
 =Replace(Fields!originalHTMlField.Value, "> ", ">.")
 NOTE: This expression replaces each first space with a character ".", and set the color to be white(suppose the report's backgroup color is white too. Then, in the report, it seems there is nothing.)
 5. Now, use this new field in the report, and set its Markup type to be "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles".
The multiple sequence space will be displayed as expected.
Sure, this is just a workaroud. We can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/sql. If this service requests frequently, the prodcut team may find a way to fix this issue.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Rich text field will not show proper font attributes! (Bug? - RTF OTF font handling)

I created two text form fields (rich text)...
In Windows 7, Write program (using it to format the rich text content)... I edited my two lines.
Line one: mix of two font sizes and a few attribute changes... pasted into the first text field perfectly.
Line two: similar to the above... pasted into the second text field but the font is appearing in bold! It is not bold in the source, nor is it preset in the text field properties! I even pasted it back into Write AND Word and it pastes as I intended it.
Why is Adobe doing this? I even tried to toggle >Text Style > bold on/off, clear formatting... these functions do not work!
If I bring up the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), bold is toggled on but I cannot toggle it off, I can add underline, I can change the font size.
UPDATE: It seems that Adobe Acrobat is NOT reading the OTF font correctly! If I change to a different font, in the same family, the problem changes from set on bold to set on italics!
It is specifically related to the font I am using but is ONLY a problem when using Rich Text fields. In other words, the entire font family works perfectly if I inserted a text box or use the font family in any other Adobe product.
I have submitted a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

Another possibly revealing clue is that when I go to Text Field Properties > Appearance tab > Text / Font, I see the entire family of this particular font. However, when editing the text in the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), only a small sub-set of this font family appears and the attributes behave in an odd manner. Example: normal font appears as italics but if I switch on BOLD, the italic attribute is gone... and other strange attribute problems.

Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

Hi everyone
I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

Urgent help needed in Rich Text Functionality in BSP (Bold, Italic, etc)

The standard Appraisal BSP (HAP_DOCUMENT) displays the documents in a plain text box
Scenario - Standard BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT for appraisals provides users to input in plain text boxes (htmlb textedit)
However, there is requirement to support rich text (bold, italicised, underline etc) for these text boxes. Basically, there are 3 aspects to this scenario
1. Enable these plain textboxes with rich text editor
2. Store the rich text contents of text boxes in Database table
3. Convert and display the data stored in db table as rich text.

Note that the previous reference to tokens only applies if the field is a Multiline text field. Regular fields can't change their font or display based upon mapping data.

When reading the Rich Text present in Excel column using open XML its taking it as plain text

Hello All,
When i am reading excel columns using open Xml in C# everything is working fine except the column that
contain Rich Text (ex: bold, italic,color,size). Its reading the Rich Text content as plain text. As we know for Rich Text in open XML we get the text as Runs (C#
object) which contains the text as value and rpr as run properties. I have also written the code to convert Runs to html. But the issue is that for some Rich Text format its reading it as Runs but most of the Rich Text its reading it as plain text.
The issue i am getting is, for some rich text its creating RUN and for some of the rich text its not creatingRUN.
Let me give the example for more understanding:
Suppose i have two cells in excel which contains the below text.
1. Rich Text
1
2. RichText
2
Now when i read these cells using the below code
var stringTable =spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringTable.SharedStringTable.ElementAt(index1).ChildElements.GetItem(0).GetType().Name == "Run")
Custom code to convert Rich text to HTML...
else
Read the plain text...
Though both the cell contains rich text, one is going in RUN block and one is going in Plain text bloc.
Also, one thing that i have noticed is when i use standard color for text its consider it as RUNS and when i use color apart from the standard color it does not consider it as RUNS. Same behavior occurs for different combination of text viz. bold, italic, underline
etc

Rich text versus plain text when sending to Outlook

I've notice some strange behavior with Mail today. I've been sending some attachments to people who use Outlook on an Exchange server. When I send the mail in Rich Text Format, they receive the mail but the text and the signature are included as attachments as well. This is not the case if I send the same message with no attachment. Also, if I change the message format to Plain Text, the mail appears normal both with and without the attachment.
Does anyone have a similar issue? Are there any know solutions? I'd really prefer to use RTF vs. Plain Text.
Cheers,
Barry

Hi Techies,

Then i downloaded the XML and opened it in notepad++. I found there are 2 weird characters like this ( , )
FYI, It is a non-Ascii character so not able to paste it in this forum text field. the characters looks like double sided arrow and a forward arrow.
I also tried loading the XML locally from RTF Template. Again it throws me same error
