How to co-athoring with macro enable Word documents (.docm)

I´m working with a prototype-installation of SharePoint 2010 where co-authoring is an important function.
But I have found one problem however.
According to the following article co-authoring is not supported for macro enabled word-files (.docm ):
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-HA101812148.aspx
1. Does anyone know what the plans are regarding this issue, will docm and co-athoring be supported in the near future?
2. Are there any workarounds available to handle macro and co-authoring at the same time?
Björn
Found the solution!
Store a macro enable Word-template (.dotm) in the Sharepoint library and save the created Word document in non macro enable format (.docx).
The document vill keep the connection to the template and all the macros will work together with co-athoring!
Björn

Here's a followup to Bjorn's original post:
Save a copy of the .dotm as a .docx, in the SharePoint team  lib where your users will be working.
Next, create a a new doc lib with a nice short name such as "a" (to keep path short) on the site that holds your team's doc lib, and move the .dotm file there.  Then, right click on the .dotm's name to Get File Properties and copy
the path to  the .dotm file. The path might look something like this: 
https://win.MyCompany.com/TeamSite/a/myfile.docm.
Now that you have the path to the .dotm, go back and edit its .doc version, that you created in the Team Lib. In the Developer tab in the ribbon, click on DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. The Templates and Add-ins dialog will appear. PASTE the path,
above, into the Document Template field.
Now your .docx knows the path to the .dotm, and since your users can access both locations, the macro in the .docx will still work OK...and your working doc lib won't be junked up with the .dotm version.

    How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do?  thanks

    Hi frenchiem,
    This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

  • How to get total pages from a Word Document?

    I want have created a program with ABAP, It'll print the cover page with form, the detail infomation is in a word document on a file server. I want to display the total pages in the cover page, how can I do? In another word, how to calculate the pages for a word document in sap ?

    I don't know how to use it. My test codes:
    REPORT print_via_ole_example .
    INCLUDE ole2incl .
    DATA: gs_word TYPE ole2_object ,
    gs_documents TYPE ole2_object ,
    gs_newdoc TYPE ole2_object ,

    START-OF-SELECTION .
    CREATE OBJECT gs_word 'WORD.APPLICATION'.
    SET PROPERTY OF gs_word 'Visible' = '0' .
    CALL METHOD OF gs_word 'Documents' = gs_documents.

    CALL METHOD OF gs_word 'Quit' .
    new-line.
    END-OF-SELECTION.
    FREE: gs_word, gs_actdoc, gs_documents, gs_newdoc .
    When run it, I can not get the total pages, and winword.exe hung up, can only be terminated in Task Manager.
    Could you help me to modify this test code?
    Thank you .

  • Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

    I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
    The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on.  This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
    an image and a link.  I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Dear BOFH,
    You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word).  The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
    use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image.  Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
    I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
    Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
    This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality.  Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use. 
    If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
    BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
    Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed.  Please see scripting guidelines.
    We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum.  The is no SLA for community support.  Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.

    The Notes features of the 3G iPod Nano only supports TXT files and not Word Documents.  If you want to be able to read these word documents, you'll need to copy the text from each over to a text file.  See here for more information.

    Keep in mind that each txt file has a limit of 4096 characters.  See this article for more information as well.

    Hi itchigo,
    You can use Microsoft Word's inbuilt feature of converting the doc to pdf by simply selecting Save As> 'pdf doc format' from the drop down.
    Please refer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx#BM11
    Adobe Reader does not have the capability of converting docs to pdf or vice versa. It can only be used to read pdf files.

  • How to disable server properties DEMOTION on Word document.

    Hi everyone.
    For business requirements, we must work with custom Word document properties, instead of the server ones. The first promotion of these document properties to fields in the SharePoint library is very useful, but when the document is downloaded to launch a
    new version, we want to avoid the server properties demotion, because when we upload this new Word document version, SharePoint promotes the "old" server properties, instead of the new document properties from the new version.
    How can avoid this demotion of the server properties?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fernando.

  • How to get number of pages in word document

    I am developing an OCR application where I need to get number of pages of word documents. I am currently assuming that each page consists of 46 lines but some how, I am not getting convinced with this logic. Is there any simplest way to get this information?
    Let me tell you that in the OCR system I am converting tiff iamges to .txt file and again reading txt file and counting number of pages based on number of lines.
    regards,
    Ranjan

    The number of pages depends on the font size, length of each line and any page break in between.
    You could just say, one page per 46 lines, it depends on how accurate you must be.
    Why not count the number of pages you scanned?
