How to add My Documents to Open and Save as

Hi,
How can I add My Documents to the list of places under File ->"Open" and "Save as" in Office 2013 applications?
Users in my organization are truly frustrated by having to click on "Computer" and then choosing the "My Documents" folder every time they need to access their My Documents. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Can you make a screen capture, or diagram showing exactly what you want to do? I just can't picture it.
If what you want to do is place it directly under the Open command in the File menu it would not be easy. The only slight possibility I can think of would be to create custom ribbon XML code to modify the "Backstage Pane". I

Updated: September 9, 2010
This article lists resources that will help you customize the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface (UI) in Microsoft Office 2010 applications.
Microsoft introduced the ribbon extensibility model in the 2007 Microsoft Office system as part of the Office Fluent UI. This was a new way to customize the user interface and create custom tabs and groups that
were specific to users’ needs. Office 2010 extends the span of the UI extensibility platform by providing support for customization of the new Microsoft Office Backstage view.
Customize the Backstage view
In Office 2010, the Microsoft Office button is replaced by the
File tab. The File tab brings you to the Backstage view. The Backstage view is customizable and lets organizations customize the UI to suit their needs.

How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

Hi-
I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
My Workflow so far:
1. Get Finder items
2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
3. Rename selected items
4. Open selected items (Word docs)
Three problems occur.
The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi there Jeremy,
to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
set allItems to every item of input
repeat with currItem in allItems
tell application "TextWrangler"
open currItem
end tell
activate application "TextWrangler"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextWrangler"
delay 2
--when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
--I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
keystroke return
delay 2
--save the doc
keystroke "s" using command down
delay 5
--close the doc
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run</pre>
The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...

Ric

What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?

Hello,
I got very unspecific question, but I don't know where to start. I have an open xml document which gets generated by a third party tool. If I open the document using open xml sdk it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before
using Word 2013.
I'm trying to get an understanding on whats Word doing! From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
Although this might be already to much information: The generated word documents contains html code with links to pictures. After Word has touched the file the picture is inside a drawing element, before it's not but in Word both versions look the same.
I'm thankful for any help you can give me.
Cheers Andreas

Hi Cheers Andreas,
>> If I open the document using open xml SDK it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before using Word 201
>> What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?
This forum is discussing about Open XML developing. This is not exactly an OpenXML SDK questions. To be frank, I do not know exactly what Word opens and saves a documents either (this is the implementation details of the product).
If you are interested on it, the forum below might be more appropriate for you:

>> From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
What do you mean by “other and way more descendants”? Do you mean that you want to add new nodes in the xml document? In my option, different objects in word have different nodes. You could refer the link below for more information about Word processing.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/cc850833.aspx
If you have issues about OpenXML SDK, since it is a new issue which is different from your original issue, I suggest you post a new thread for the new issue in this forum. Then there would be more community members to discuss the question.

How to open and save file like the Notepad Demo do?

I am a newer to Java Web Start. I found that in the Notepad Demo, when user try to open or save file, a message box appear and give the user some security suggestions.
In my application, I used a JFileChooser and set the <security> element to <j2ee-application-client-permissions/> in the jnlp file. But the application will thow an exception:
access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\desktop\Java Web Start.lnk read)
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem. By the way, where can I find the source of the Notepad Demo. I want my application to open and save file just like the Notepad Demo do.

The Notpad demo uses the JNLP api to read and write files. The api doc can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/docs/javadoc/index.html
Although the Notpad demo source is not available, there is other sample code available at:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/releases/javawebstart/
Included here is the webpad demo, which uses the FileOpenService and
FileSaveService API's.

How to add a document type for the residence status GB in infotype 48

Hi Team,
How to add a document type for the residence status GB in infotype 48.
Please answer this at the earliest.PFA screnshot.
Thanks

I believe there is a PDF doc which comes with the component (it should be at your harddrive when you install it), which describes everything you will need.
In a nutshell, there are two types of relationship: sibling - sibling, parent - child (there are some more nuances, but it follows the same logic).
A relationship is created between two existing items (not sure, if you can also create a relationship for a new checked in item, but it would be just a usability). You select the type of relationship and the item - I believe depending on the relationship you may start from either item. The dialog to start is INFO (display metadata) or UPDATE (update metadata).
When a relationship is created you may watch it also from either end (again INFO is the starting point).
It is quite self-explanatory, so if you have the component installed you may just play around with it for a while and that is it.

How to Open and Save files

I have a problem to open and save the files.here is my code. can anyone help me to open the files.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if ("open".equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
FileDialog fdopen=new FileDialog(this, "Load File", FileDialog.LOAD);
fdopen.show();
Thanks for ur time

Hi fbnmir or who ever can answer my question,
My problem is similar to the code you wrote. I'm trying to make (or rather complete a half done) editor for text files. For opening and saving files I have so far:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
FileDialog filedialog;
final SearchDialog searchDialog;
String arg = (String)ae.getActionCommand();
// the Open ... case
if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[0])){
if(Editor.VERBOSE)
System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[0] +
" has been selected");
filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Open File Dialog", FileDialog.LOAD);
filedialog.show();
if(Editor.VERBOSE){
System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
System.err.println("Open file = " + filedialog.getFile());
System.err.println("Open directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
//the Save ... case
if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[1])){
if(Editor.VERBOSE)
System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[1] + " has been selected");
filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Save File Dialog", FileDialog.SAVE);
filedialog.show();
if(Editor.VERBOSE){
System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
System.err.println("Save file = " + filedialog.getFile());
System.err.println("Save directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
These are two components of a MenuHandler class. The problem with this code is that in the text editor window, even if the Open button is pressed the file I want to open isn't displayed. Although the System.err (I think that's what it is called) says:
Open ... has been selected
Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
Open file = tutorial_01.rtf
Open directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
Save ... has been selected
Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
Save file = test.txt
Save directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
How can I actually display the file I want to open, or save some text I've written?
I would appreciate any help, thanks.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

How do I configure DW to open and load a file?

I have DreamWeaver CS5 running on a Mac. Whenever I double-click to open a DreamWeaver compatible file (such as an HTML file), if DW is not already open, DW launches but does not load the file. Once DW is launced, I can double-click the file and it will load. How do I configure DW to open and load a file together?
DW: v11 b 4993
OS X: 10.7.4 (11E53)

HTML files are normally configured to open in a browser. The default on a Mac is to open the file in Safari.
You can right-click the filename in the Mac Finder, and select Open With > Dreamweaver CS5 from the context menu.
Alternatively, select an HTML file in Mac Finder, and press Cmd+I to open the Info panel. In the Open With section, select Dreamweaver CS5 as the default program, and click the Change All button.

Word 2013 shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder on file Open and Save

Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network (Windows
Server 2012R2), Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share.
Instead of seeing:
"MyPC Documents"
users see
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent to the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share.
Even if we go to File / Options / Save and browse to the local Documents folder as the place Word should open and save files from, Word immediately removes the path you have browsed to, and replaces it with the UNC path.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx!
Dana

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you only want others to see some part of path name, rather than full UNC path name. It is right?
It seems that we can’t implement your requirement. When we open a file from “My Pictures”, it shows “My picture” instead of showing the full path “C:\Users\User\Pictures”. “My Picture” is set as a library in Windows, so it hides
full path by design. We can't set \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents as a library.
As a workaround, you can upload these files to OneDrive and share link to others.
If I have anything misunderstood, don't hesitate to tell me.

How to get rid of "Computer" in Open and Save dialogs

Is this new? I don't remember that before the last or second-last OS update the computer's name appeared, above the mounted volumes, in the left panel of the Open and Save dialogs.
Note that in the Finder windows, the computer doesn't appear, as set in the Finder's Preferences.
So obviously my question is: How to remove the computer's name from the Open and Save dialogs' left panel?
TIA,

You can most often just take the default action by pressing the "joystick" center button (without going through the menus).

How to add new currency in ORCO and ORBO

Hi, I have successfully install ORCO, ORBO and ORPOS. I followed Implementation Guide, Volume 1 – Implementation Solutions to add new currency in ORPOS.
But I still do not know how to add new currency in CO and BO.
I try to use import parameter feature in ORCO and ORBO to import xml, the result said "Success" but there is no changes.
Please help show how I could achieve this.

I change the FL_CNY_BASE into 1 already. POS is OK now. But BO is not regconize that there is a new currency. I'm trying to go to
Admin -> Job Manager -> Available Import -> Import BackOffice Parameters
and try to import xml file that contain belowing content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CurrencyImport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="CurrencyImport.xsd" Priority="0" FillType="FullIncremental" Version="1.0" Batch="1" CreationDate="2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z" ExpirationDate="2027-12-17T09:30:47.0Z">

<Currency ChangeType="ADD" ISOCode="MYR" IssuingCountryCode="MY" Name="MYR" IssuingCountryNationality="Malaysian" IsBaseCurrency="true" Scale="2" Priority="0" />
<ExchangeRate ChangeType="ADD" CurrencyCode="MYR" MinimumAmount="0.00" EffectiveDate="2008-05-26" ExpirationDate="2050-06-02" ToBuyAmount="2" ToSellAmount="2" ServiceFeeAmount="0.00" />
</CurrencyImport>
The result said it success but I still cannot see any change.
Is there is any other things I should make change at BO? Any property file that I should make change? BO and CO is web application so the structure of files are not the same as POS. I can't following the same thing when I had made with POS for BO and CO.
Thanks for you helping
