How to open a .doc file in MS word?

Hello
Can any body direct me to any api or library or sample, where by if you have word document in your local machine, you can run a java program to open that file in MS word. Basically Microsoft word is opened with the local file in your machine and displayed to the user.
I looked for a while on this, could find anything...
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Jeevan

How to open a .DOC file with MS-Word ?

Hye fellow Java freaks,
I have made an application to upload .DOC and .RTF files to the server using servlets and the Jakarta Commons FileUpload package.
The files are uploading successfully.
Now, I want to place a link to the most recently uploaded file and then, on clicking that link, I want the file to open not in the browser, rather with MS-Word.
What is the servlet code that I should implement to accomplish this ?
Any suggesions ?
Thanx in advance.

I think this is a client-side issue - how the browser chooses to deal with the .doc file it receives.
You can 'save as' and then open the file by hand.

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

Can't open .doc files in either Word or Pages!! Any suggestions?

So I stated having issues with Word not being able to open my .doc files along with a few other things. This prompted me to purchase pages only a few hours ago hoping that it would solve all my problems. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem and now I still can't open them even in pages. Any suggestions?
I have OS X 10.6.8. Any help would be greatly apreciated as I am a new Grad student and need to be able to access .doc files that are posted online.

Ok I forgot to try to hit Open With for Word and that worked for one document but I still want to know how to get it open in pages.
Well you can do the same thing for Pages. From the Get Info window, choose Pages for Open With.
But you should also be able to:
drag a Word document and drop it on the Pages icon or
Launch Pages, choose File > Open, find the Word document using the Open box and click Open.
If neither works please explain what steps you're following and what happens.
Thanks.

}I got this code from internet. Program will work fine if my "test.doc" is in "C:\test.doc" directory. Is there any way to get the application path and open the doc file or how to give a specified path for my doc file
EG:- "C:\TestDir\test.doc"
Thanks

Well /C is not the path to the app. It is a switch to
the command line.
set your file name to "C:/test.doc"
~TimSorry, I guess my reply doesn't really answer the problem. But you can supply the entire path as part of the file name string.
String file = "C:/Path/To/My/File/to execute/test.doc"

How to open an .indd file in commands

does any one know how to open an .indd file in commands from a plugin(without opening from the normal procedure..File -> Open ...)
in my plugin I tried,
SDKFileOpenChooser fileChooser;
fileChooser.AddAllFiles();
fileChooser.ShowDialog();
     It shows the dialog window to choose a file. but i don't know what to use that file to be apperead in Indesign application.
If you have any idea please let me know..

Here's a sample function I use:
// Create an OpenDocCmd:
        InterfacePtr<ICommand> openDocCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(/*kOpenDocCmdBoss*/ kOpenFileCmdBoss));
        if (openDocCmd == nil)
            break;
        // Get an IOpenFileCmdData Interface for the OpenDocCmd:
        InterfacePtr<IOpenFileCmdData> openFileData(openDocCmd, IID_IOPENFILECMDDATA);
        if (openFileData == nil)
            break;
        // Set the IOpenFileCmdData Interface’s data:
        openFileData->Set(docSpec, uiFlags, openFlags ,IOpenFileCmdData::kNotUseLockFile);
        // Process the OpenDocCmd:
        error = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(openDocCmd);
        if (error)
            break;
// Create a layout window for the new doc:
        InterfacePtr<ICommand> newWinCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kOpenLayoutCmdBoss));
        newWinCmd->SetItemList(UIDList(*openDocCmd->GetItemList()));
        error = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(newWinCmd);
Make sure of error checks!

Firefox keeps aksing me what programs that i want to open a doc.file with every time i try to download a doc file.

the program that I use is open office. I chekced the box that says that this will always open a doc file but it keeps asking me about it.

Firefox should be able to remember your preference -- as long as the site is specifically identifying the file as a distinct content type. Some sites may fail to do this and simply indicate it is a binary file that the browser can't handle, in which case Firefox doesn't store a specific preference.
So this could be a problem caused by how the server is identifying the content type. Or it could be a problem with the settings file that stores download preferences. The workaround for that problem is to remove the file and have Firefox rebuild it. If you have changed settings from the default (for example, how to view PDFs) you will have to change those settings again.
If you want to try it:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > (in the first table) "Show in Finder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit/Quit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox and see whether its memory improves.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.
