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."

Saving only a portion of a Microsoft Word template into a new document using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

I have a Microsoft Word template I want to populate programmatically with test data. The template contains both explanatory text and a data sheet section with test data placeholders (bookmarks). Using the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, I have been able to successfully populate the placeholders with data and save the results into a new Microsoft Word document. The problem is the new Word document contains not only the test data but also the explanatory text that was in the original document template. Ideally, I would like to have the generated document contain just the test data without the accompanying text. Is it possible to do this usi
ng the Report Generation Toolkit?

Hello Ryan,
Two easy options come to mind.
1. You may want to consider using an �ink annotation� instead of regular text for your explanation.
2. You can programmatically do a find and replace on the explanatory text. Have LabVIEW find the whole paragraph, and replace it with nothing.
If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please reply with comments or answers to the discussion above and any additional information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

I have researched the knowledge base and found:
Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
The error message is:
Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
Thanks,
Chris

Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
Thanks for reply!

Hi yangafreet
You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

How do I save and access MS Word documents using iCloud?

How do I access my old documents in iDisk and how do I save new documents created in MS word so they are available to me in the cloud? Do I need to install keynote, numbers and pages now? Before I just accessed my ME account from any computer and worked on a document while I was travelling. Am I now required to have those Apple apps on a computer just to access my documents?

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!

What is the version of LabVIEW and Report Generation Toolkit you are using? Have you taken a look at the LabVIEW Example Column Graph (Excel).vi
and looked at the help for Excel Insert Graph VI and Excel Set Graph Font?

How to update data to excel in runtime with LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

hi,All
     i am using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit,and a newer.i want to insert the data in excel for every loop.
     so at first,need to creat a excel file(xxx).and when every loop end,the test data can be insert into the file(xxx).when the test finished,the file will be saved.
     i have seen the examples in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit, all of them need to creat a new file.i need update the data in the same file.
     can you give me some advances for that?
     my labview's version is 8.5 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit's version is 1.1.0.
     thanks a lot.

Hi cat099,
One question, why don't you store data of each loop, say in shift register and update all data in excel at once when your test is finished.
It will be easy. Or else, if you want to build same functionality as you mentioned, then you can build your own vi to write in excel. No need to use report generation toolkit.
See attached example.

How can we save smartform output as word document

Hi Friends,
Can anybody help me, how to save Smartform output as Word document instead of PDF file.
Thanks,
Ramana.

Hi Venkat,
I think you can do it manually.
After the print preview, Select the menu Goto->List Display.
Now select the menu System->List->Save->Local File.
Now you can select the radio buttion Rich Text Format.
Now you save the document as a .doc file (say test.doc)
That is it!!!!!

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. : )
