How to respond to Word saving a document?

Hi,
We want to be able to edit .docx files with our application. We do this by writing them to disc and opening them with Word via ActiveX calls. As soon as the document is changed and saved in Word, we want to write it back to our application. What would be
the best way to achieve this? There is a DocumentBeforeSave event but not a DocumentAfterSave event.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Word,the issue is more related to Word coding/programing, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Word
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=worddev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

    How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

    There are no Microsoft Word or Excel apps for the iPad, yet.
    The Pages app, among a few others will open, write to and save Word docs. Numbers will do the same for Excel files.
    First thing is to buy and download an app to work on these docs from the ap store. Then sync with your computer to have the apps on both your iPad and in your iTunes on your computer. Once this is done you can copy files to the Pages or Numbers section on your iTunes then sync with your iPad to have them copied to the iPad. Also, any Word or Excel files that you receive via email will also open in Pages and or Excel and can be saved to the list of files for those apps.

  • MS Word saving a document to a specific directory

    I have a very simple example:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
    activate
    open ":mypath:myfile.doc"
    save as active document file name "test.pdf" file format format PDF
    close active document
    end tell
    This saves the contents of myfile.doc in pdf format in a file called test.pdf. But it places this in ~/Documents.
    I dont seem to be able to specify an alternative path in the file name argument. Either it ignores the path if I use something like:
    "foo:test.doc"
    or it explodes with an error for something like:
    ":foo:test.doc" where :foo is /foo.
    I assume there is perhaps some kind of property.
    Is there a more efficient way to learn MS Word and applescript? I know its not an apple product (dohhh). If this was windows and vbscript they allow you to record a macro and effectively it gives you the code.
    error "Microsoft Word got an error: active document doesn’t understand the save as message." number -1708 from active document

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    To save in a different location to the default you need to provide a full path to the new location:
    You could say ((path to desktop) as string) & "test.xxx" OR
    "Macintosh HD:Users:yourusername:Desktop:text.xxx"
    Note that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten without alerting you.
    I am using Office 2004, which does not allow save as PDF. You might need to verify that this format is available in the version you are using. So, using RTF as the format, this works:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;">
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
    open (((path to documents folder) as string) & "Original Document.doc") as alias
    save as active document file name (((path to desktop) as string) & "New Document.rtf") file format format rtf
    close active document
    end tell </pre>
    To address your question about learning AS for Word, I assume you know that you can open the application's dictionary in Script Editor? (Descriptions can be somewhat obtuse, however.)

  • Send word or pdf document as HTML email

    Hello all,
    we have word documents (on a local file) that we want to send via SAP as HTML email, i.e. we need the content of the word document in the email body. The documents also contain images. With the class cl_bcs I can send mails including attachments and also pure HTML but I don't know how to convert the word or pdf document into HTML and how to process it to get the images in the correct way. Is there perhaps a more direct way to achieve the goal to mail the word documents? Is there anybody who can help?
    Thank you very much and best regards
    Frank

    First, as you guessed, most (all?) mail clients don't display "complex" documents (doc, xls, pdf, etc.) inside a mail, they are always provided as attachments. Only simple documents like images can be directly displayed.
    SAP's job is not to convert from a format to another, especially .DOC and .PDF formats, which are rather complex.
    You'd better look at specialized third-party softwares. Note that SAP has a connection tool called BC-XDC (eXternal Document Converter) which is used to connect these third-party softwares to SAP. You may look at the certified softwares using this connection tool.
    Notes: if the .DOC and .PDF documents are generated by one of your programs, prefer to modify them to generate the documents in another format (HTML) instead of converting them. I can't say much as I don't know your exact scenario.
    There is also SO_RTF_TO_HTM (and CONVERT_TEXT maybe) function module, but I wouldn't expect much of it.

    When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
    Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
    If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
    I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
    Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
    AppleScript
    --- copy below this line ---
    property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
    if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
         display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
         return quit
    end if
    tell application "Pages"
        tell body text of front document
            set wordCnt to count words
            -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
            set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
        end tell
    end tell
    on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
         tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
         return appNameIsRunning
    end ApplicationIsRunning

  • Saving a WORD or PDF document in the database?

    Hello,
    If I have a WORD document, PDF document or EXCEL document. How can I save them in the database? What type of LOB I should use.
    What I would like to do is have a webpage with a text box and a browse button. The user can then use the browse buttton to find the file and have its location inserted into the text box. Then the user can click another button to add the file to the database.
    Once the file is in the database - I also want to have an update page where the user can change the files saved in the database or delete them also
    Thanks
    Doug

    Well, Word and Excel documents are binary, so you will need a Binary LOB (BLOB).
    I have recently been storing/retrieving BLOBs through ASP/ADO . . .
    BLOBs are limited to 4GB, but ADO has a limit of 2GB. Hopefully, that will not be a problem.
    If you are using ODBC, then be aware that you need to enable LOBs by setting LOB=T in the connection string. If you are using ODBC with stored procedures, then there is a bug that causes the LOBs to be truncated to 32K, which is fixed in 9.2.0.6.5. A colleague tells me that the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle works with LONGs but not with LOBs.
    If you are using OleDB with stored procedures, then you'll need to set the "SPPrmsLOB" property to TRUE.
    When uploading BLOBs through ADO, you need to set the parameter size to 1 higher than the actual size, otherwise you get an error.
    When retrieving the BLOBs through stored procedures as OUT parameters, you need to set the parameter size to larger than the BLOB, otherwise it gets truncated. I do not like having to specify 2GB for a file that might only be 32K, so I prefer to return a record set via a REF CURSOR.

  • How to convert a Word Document to SAP SCript standard text.

    Hi team,
    Does any one know how to convert a word document or text in Word format to standard text.
    So that we can use that standard text in Script output.
    This might be very useful if we need to convert a lot of text into standard text.

    Hi,
    Create the name of the standard text you want in SO10.
    When the editor is called up, select Text -> Upload and then browse for your file(s). Must be saved in RTF format in Word remember.
    Cheers
    Colin.

  • How can I copy Word Document and save them in my iPad?

    Hi,  I just recieved my iPad 3 today. I've never used the Apple format before.  All of my recipes are in Microsoft Word all neatly organized, there are many... I mean a lifetime of them and I'm old!  I bought the iPad to use it in the kitchen and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to transfer my Word files to my iPad and put them in a document folder.  Can anyone help?  I sure would appreiciate it. 

    There are no document folders in the iPad. Files and documents are saved within the app that is used to create, edit and view the corresponding files. You need an app that can read and edit Word files and you will be able to save the files within that app.
    You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud service, use iOS file sharing or use iCloud - if you use one of the Apple iWorks apps - in this case it would be Pages.
    There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think.
