Images not importing from Word doc

SORRY MODS - Accidently posted this in the HTML Help forum
I'm having trouble getting my images placed in a Word
document to import ito my project. I have RoboHelp 2002 and first
experienced the problem there, thought I'd try the upgrade to see
if that fixes the problem. It did fix my step numbering problems
(all steps were numbered Step 1), but the image import problem
remains. The images are .jpg images and most were placed in Word
using Insert Image. Some were just copied and pasted. Regardess of
how the images were included in the doc, none come through in an
import. Am I doing somethig wrong? I've tried importing it as a
Word 2000 and a Word 2003 doc with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mike

I had the same issue and could get no good advice on how to
fix it. What I finally did was take the embedded images from the
Word doc and save them in another location. I then inserted them
back into RoboHelp after I imported the Word doc. It's a little
tedious, but it worked.

Image not printing from Word 2010 to .pdf

I have been successfully printing Word docs that contain my letterhead logo to .pdfs for a long time. But right after I installed both Word 2010 and Acrobat Professional 9.4.1, the logo would get cut off when printing.
I tried a lot of different settings, but just found that if instead of using the .pdf printer I simply "save as" the file as a .pdf, the entire logo prints fine.
I just wanted to share this workaround solution in case others run into this problem. Meanwhile, does anyone know why this might be happening?

It would be nice if you can share your file with us so that we can replicate the issue at our end.

Roman numerals not importing from Word

Footnotes - Some not importing from Word.

Hello, using CS6 here.
I am currently designing a 400 page book using a fully formatted Word file. I am importing the file into InDesign and setting all of the options properly—however after chapter 4 the footnotes disappear and are no longer in the imported text.
Chapters 1 thru 2 have the footnotes imported perfectly.
Any idea why this is happening? It is very frustrating and I am on a tight deadline.
Please help!

thank you, peter. i tried that, as i do have CS2 on my computer. now there are new problems:
1. When importing the complete file into CS2 it only imports half and for some reason the rest doesn't import...
2. I tried importing the other formats into CS6 and it crashes every time, now...
Frustrating...

Import from Word - tab space used with a Word style does not import consistently

When I import from Word using RH 10 (but this has been the case with all versions of RH that I've used) the import messes up my tab spacing in my Note style. To clarify: The Note style in my Word document has the word Note followed by a tab space and then the content of the Note. When I import a Word doc to RH, the conversion of this tab space is inconsistent (from 4-6 spaces) - it seems to depend on the length of the note and whether it continued onto a second line in the word document. Is there any solution to this? TIA.

Simply that plans change at this time of year.
I got exactly the same result and at first I wondered if it was because the document had tracked changes in it. I have seen that cause problems in the past and always recommend accepting them, in a copy document if you don't want to lose the tracking.
Accepting the changes made no difference and I would say this is a bug. Fortunately though there is a workaround that may be acceptable. Quite simply, add a full stop (period) or some other character after the number. A space will not work.

Hidden formatting held over from Word doc conversion

Our company is shifting our product manuals from Word docs to InDesign. I'm a newbie to InDesign, and I have just converted my first attempt using File>Place. This was a moderate size file (15MB), with a lot of embedded images, diagrams, and formatting. Although some of the text formatting didn't convert properly, the clean up has been easy. The biggest issues I've found are residual page and section breaks that needed to be manually removed from my text frames.
My boss, however, is hesitant and concerned that there might be some "hidden" formatting that carried over from Word that will ultimately undo all my progress and wreck havoc with the new ID document when we least expect it. Is there anything I should be looking for in particular?

ML,
This topic was just discussed at InDesignSecrets.com in the last two podcasts.
Go to:http://indesignsecrets.com/category/podcasts
You will find out almost everything you want to know about importing Word files. Especailly check out the part on "Maggy-ing" the Word file, this might be what your boss was concerned with.

Controlling Image Conversion quality from Word to RoboHelp 8

I cannot find settings that will control image quality when converting Word documents to online help files by means of RoboHelp.
My problem is that screen captures, which were inserted as PNG or bitmaps, are reproduced with what looks like GIF or JPEG quality in the online help. I want better quality.
I read that for Famemaker, there are image conversion settings that enable one to preserve full, lossless (screen) resolution during the conversion.
Is there a way to do this for conversion from Word 2007 documents to RoboHelp 8?
If not, perhaps RoboHelp 9?
Much obliged.

I am importing the Word documents into RoboHelp HTML version 7.0. I did the following experiment:
I imported a document with images containing vector text (the images are in Microsoft Office Object format) from Word 2007 to RoboHelp HTML 7.0, I got poor quality (badly formed text / aliasing). I presume this comes from the rendering and compression performed by the import function. I also saw JPEG artifacts in the raster (screen captures) images of the kind visible at very high compression ratios and which were not visible in the original.
When I insert the very same images, saved as PNG format at screen resolution, directly into RoboHelp HTML 7.0, I get good quality.
It seems that the Import from Word function is rendering and converting the images to a compressed format without preserving sufficient quality.
My questions are:
Is there a preferred format for the embedded images in Word for better import to RoboHelp, especially when the images contain (vector) text?
Are there accessible configuration parameters for the Import from Word function, that can control the rendering, and/or the quality level of JPEG compression, and/or give a choice between compressed and uncompressed images.
How can I access those parameters?
Thanks!

IPhoto not importing from Quick Look

iPhoto does not import from Quick Look.
• Sometimes the image will check in Quick Look, iPhoto starts up, but nothing imports.
• Other times, the item appears already checked when it open in Quick Look, but same result, nothing in iPhoto.
This happens with old images, new images, a just saved screen shot for example.
I have reinstalled iLife, repaired Permissions, scrapped the iPhoto Library and let iPhoto create a new one with defaults. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

And with no configuraton changes, just plugging in the iPad [after walking around a bit] and the import worked as expected - nice that is works, bad that it is not consistant :-/

Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

Hi,
SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

Remove Header and footer from Word Docs

Is it possible to remove the header/footer from Word docs?
The html output from ctx_doc.markup gets the header/footer and (specialy)page numbers all messed up.

thanks

Please define 'messed up'. I'll reproduce here and then try to find a cause/solution. I checked a couple of other forums and Metalink with no good discussion on the topic.

Import from Word- all links linking too low down so that bread crumbs don't display

When I import from Word, all the links being created are linking to the topic title, instead of just to the topic:
e.g. href="CreateLineOfSight.htm #CreateLineOfSight">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td>
As a result, whenever the topic is longish, opening the topic from the link displays it with the title at the top of the screen and the breadcrumbs hidden.
If I change the link to: href="CreateLineOfSight.htm">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td> - without the #link , it opens properly.
Does anyone know how to import from Word so that it links as I require. And/or how to replace all these links to the topic title with just a link to the (top of the) topic?
I'm using RoboHelp 8
Thanks.
Ayelet

Hi Ayelet,
are you converting the TOC generated inside word document itself and is the TOC generated at the TOP of the document ?
In such a scenario the TOC generated in Word document itself is the reason for this issue as the TOC itself point to that location!
One more thing to talk about, and that is my personal opninion is that when we move to online medium or even document for any hand held device we should keep our topics short, the reason is that even if we have bread crums those will get autoomatically hidden when we scroll down the topic if the topic is long.
So I would suggest you
1. Better do some style mapping to sute your online needs
2. Paginate the topic on the basis of style (like the one that has been used to generate the TOC) so that you have smaller and manageable/viewable topics
3. and after pagination Auto-generate the TOC inside RoboHelp after import
4. Can also generate mini TOC for better navigation, if you map your style to Headings style of RoboHelp and create mini TOC in the topic if it is long in place of the TOC generated in word

RoboHelp freezing when importing large word docs

What are your experiences with RoboHelp for HTML Help when
importing large Word docs?
Mine seems to stop responding and has to be restarted. Also,
creating PDFs for large docs seems to be a problem.
While I am here, could someone please answer these questions:
1. Does RoboHelp support conditional inclusion/exclusion and
replacement of text? Where you can use a condition to display one
text OR another.
2. Does Robo support Modular Help?
3. What about automating output generation using batch files?
Is this possible?
4. Can PDF outputs be customized using templates?
it looks like Robo offers partial solutions to each of the
above questions but I will like to hear your experiences, as I am
on evaluation the tool with limited time.
TIA.

When i import a word.doc and open on my iPad in Pages, and then later export and reopen as a word.doc on my PC, hyphenation is lost

when i import a word.doc to my iPad in Pages and then, later, export back to my PC as a word.doc, why does hyphenation disappear?

Perhaps it would work better if you use one of the apps specifically designed to interface with MS Word, instead of Pages which has to convert everything in and out.
