How do I Launch a Microsoft WORD Document using AciveX from testStand

Hello All:
I would like to launch a Word document from within Teststand. I would also like to have the ability to search the document for particular sections of the document. I can not find any sequence file examples that even comes close to demonstrating any of this.
Thanks...

Hello Craig,
I have attached an example that will demonstrate this for you. You may need to change the Word Server to match the version of Word that you have installed. This can be done by right clicking on each ActiveX step and select Specify Module. Under Automation Server, scroll down the list to Microsoft Word... and select it.
This is primarily an example to demostrate calling Microsoft Word from TestStand. If you require additional functionality from the Microsoft Word ActiveX server then you should refer to the API reference help for Microsoft Word.
Hope this helps!
Bob

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope . Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Yes, Lion does require that you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion > http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.

How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

Hi All,
I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WJ

Hello,
You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.

Hey cherelle,
You might need to open the word document and choose 'PDFMaker' from the menubar or 'Adobe PDF' printer option from the Files menu for the same.
Hope this helps.

How to save Charts to a word document using LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit?

I just started using the LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit, but I can't figure out how to save Waveform Charts (one dimensional data versus time, instead of Graphs) to a Word document. Can somebody give a suggestion? Thanks!

Nina,
In MS Word, you have 2 options when you select Insert Object:
Microsoft Excel Chart
Microsoft Graph 2000 Graph
If you select Insert Picture, you can choose Chart. This is the same chart as when you select Microsoft Excel Chart.
To insert this chart, you will use Word Insert Graph.vi. This VI calls Word_Insert_Chart.vi, that uses ADO object Graph.Chart and its properties and methods.
From the Microsoft Help:
Create a chart by using Microsoft Graph
When you create a chart by using Microsoft Graph, a chart and its associated data are displayed in a table called a "datasheet."

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.
