I hit ctrl h while on ms word and my document disappeared

While using MS WORD, I hit ctrl h and my document disappeared. Now, I no longer have access to even the previously saved file. It's as though it's just open, but completely hidden somewhere on my computer. Please help me locate this file. Thanks

It was strange. Everytime I opened a new doc, it would call it Doc 2, then Doc 3, etc. As if there were opened documents there already but I couldn't see them. Finally, I just hit restart and it asked me if I wanted to save changes to my original document. And it kind of flashed, right on the screen as it was saving as if it was there all along, but just not visible. Very strange- but I was able to save and recover it. Thanks for your help. I'll never hit command h again!

Storing MS-Word and PDF documents in database uploaded through APEX

I want to allow users to upload MS-Word and PDF documents they have created / edited outside of the APEX app for storage in the database along with the other app data.
I know that I should use a file browse item in a region for this purpose.
I have a some questions:
1. What database datatype is best for storing MS-Word and PDF docs? CLOB?
2. How can the user see that the file has been uploaded? In other words, how can they see that the filename has been uploaded? I want to show this on the page for later viewing. I have uploaded a document, but later, I have no way to see that the document has in fact been uploaded. From the APEX page, the file browse item does not indicate whether or not a file has previously been uploaded.
3. How can the user download the previously uploaded document?
4. Is there a way to give users the capability to edit a document in an APEX app where they can do MS-Word-like editing (font size, font type, bold, italics, etc.)?
I know I've asked a lot here and I appreciate your input.

In my case, I am uploading screenshots of my application and then displaying them. You can feel free to use it if you want, the code was mostly taken from examples of file uploads posted by others. Here is some code to get you started:

    -- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
    -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
    -- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
    -- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );

/Again, make sure everyone has rights to execute the procedure.
GRANT EXECUTE ON DISPLAY_IMAGE TO PUBLICThis doesn't create an editor inside the browser, it just creates a simple upload/display process. For a WYSIWYG editor that handles PDF or Docs, you'll need something far more sophisticated, and I can't suggest anything there.

What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

Word and Excel documents vanish

This may be the wrong forum for this question if so I apologize and wold appreciate direction.
Working on numerous word and excel documents every so-often the file will disappear off my screen. If I click on another application then click on say word in the Dock the file comes back again. It tends to happen mainly with larger files. Has anyone had this experience and if so how can I fix it.
Thanks
Peter

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Word and excel documents

Am I correct that there is no way to edit my word and excel documents once they are on my Palm Pre??!!! I can't believe I went from a 5 year old smart phone to a new Pre and lost the ability to modify documents (with the promise of being able to do it in the future, and at what cost???). What a rip off, I should have gone with droid technology!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm has not released specific information on whether an Office document editor will be included in webOS 2.0. However, speculation is rampant that QuickOffice will be releasing a document editor, either as part of 2.0 or as a stand-alone app.
What we do know is that Dataviz, the company that produced the current doc viewer (as well as Documents To Go for Palm OS and other platforms), won't be producing an editing version for webOS in spite of their earlier promises. They're been purchased by RIM (Blackberry).

Best iPad apps for creating and sharing word and spreadsheet documents?

I am about to take a work trip away for a few weeks and will need to create word and spreadsheet documents and share them with my colleagues back in the office. Does anyone have any tips on the best apps to do this? I'm concerned that the iWork apps might be problematic with the .pages and .numbers native formats, given that my colleagues work on ms office in a windows environment. Also, the google docs mobile experience seems to be pretty clunky, so I'm hoping someon out there has the perfect solution! Thanks in anticipation.

I use documents to go and am pleased with it. and the premium version also supports cloud storage and syncing.

(X-post from Using iPad, but thought I might get some useful responses here.)

There is no perfect solution, especially for those who need to create more complex documents (tables, etc.) and spreadsheets. If your files are simple Quickoffice will do the job; you can set up a shared dropbox for those at the home base to access and interact with it directly through the app. For heavy duty lifting you may want to consider accessing your work desktop remotely using Splashtop, Logmein, gotomypc app, etc...

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

Urgent Help Regarding Storing Word and PFD Documents

Dear Friends
I want to store my word and pdf documents in my database using 8.1.7 for windows NT. It is quiet urgent so if any one of u guys could help me step by step . How to insert and retrieve my doc and pdf files in and from database.
I'll be highly thankful to you.
Regards

The DBMS_LOB package does not support writing of data from BLOBS to the filesystem.
An export method is defined for the intermedia doc type.
NOTE: look at the notes and make sure the correct permissions are granted to the user for this method to work. This is in the 8.1.7 documentation which is not on OTN at this time...
However, the intermedia does have an export method that was implemented as a java stored procedure.
http://otn.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/inter.816/relational_interface/mm_relat.htm#1078905
You can write your own java stored procedure to write the file, place the document in an intermedia doc type and use the export method, or use the relational interface export() function.

Best solutions for storing text, Word and pdf documents on iPad

I just switched from using a powerbook to an iPad + microkeyboard for my work computer (I'm freelance and need to bring my own device wherever I go), and I love the size and weight of it compared to a laptop.
What I am glitching on is the fact that I cannot save documents to my ipad. Clients email Word and PDF docs to me, and I have (very few of) my own docs, such as resumes, which I need to update slightly and send out to them as well. It's not ideal when I need to send out a resume to dig through my Sent folder on Mail and forward it, creating a new email but just saving the attachment. I also need to access certain received documents repeatedly as reference. I'm surprised iOS for iPad doesn't have a "Documents" folder as OS X does.
How are users working around this problem currently? Please give me suggestions for solutions. I'm hopeful that future iterations of iOS will provide a way to store and access a personal library of documents as it does photos and videos, so I will commit to working through this in the short term. What are your work arounds?
T

I doubt iOS will ever change. iOS does not have a file manager system like you're used to on a laptop or desktop, so it lacks the ability to access files like you're used to. So whatever workarounds you find will likely become your regular work flow. If Apple hasn't added a file manager to iOS in the past 5 (give or take) years it's doubtful they'll do so in the future...the lack of a file manager is why the iOS operating system is so secure, viruses can't infect and use a file manager system to spread if they don't have one.)
iOS ties the access to files to the apps that access them. As you said, photos with the photos app, music with the music app. With your purchase of a new iOS device you are eligible for free Apple apps, amongst them Pages and Numbers, Apple's word processing and version of excel.. You can store your documents in that app and access them that way. Or there are tons of other word processing apps. I use Documents to Go (although it's not free so you may wish to experiment with the free apps first before you start paying)
File transfer....well Apple's work flow is that everyone has access to always on and always available internet, thus their workflow being built around the cloud and using the internet for file transfer, as well as e-mailing stuff to yourself. There are some flash drives out there that have their own wifi transmitter that may help you. You'd plug them into another computer, put the file on it, turn on the wifi transmitter and use a small localized hotspot to connect your ipad to and download the files to your iPad via an app that will come with the flash drive.
