Import keywords from a word keywords list

I have a keywords list in a word doc from my agency, is it somehow possible to import the whole list ( not word by word) to bridge?
thanks

Fortunately Yes !
Unfortunately, the NI report tools have not been developped to retrieve data from existing documents.
So you'll have to develop your own tools, using ActiveX properties and methods if you have to work with not-so-simple documents.
Just to help you start something, here is a simple way to read some text from a .doc file.

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

Importing keyword list from Photoshop CS1 is possible

Amongst all this gloom on a more positive note I thought people might be interested to know that I have successfully managed to import my long keywords list from Photoshop CS1 into the keywords hud. It is fiddly and I'm sure there must be a more graceful way of doing it but I got there in the end.
There are two buttons bottom right of the keyword hud - import and export - for which I have found no documentation in the manual however I tried export and it exported the keyword list as a text document. If you find your Photoshop CS keyword pref file which is by default kept in : user name / library / preferences / Adobe Photoshop CS settings / Keywords.psp, you can open it with text edit. You then have to fiddle around with the formatting which I did by copying it into a word processing app and using find and replace so that I ended up with a tabbed list which followed the same format as the exported aperture text list. I then pasted it into the aperture list and after a bit more fiddling around was then able to use the import button on the hud to bring in my entire list as it appeared in Filebrowser.
Fingers crossed!
Best wishes

I can't import keyword list into Aperture

I want to import a big keyword list from last years photo library into this years, but when I export the keyword list from my 2012 library it's greyed out and won't import into my 2013 library. The Aperture help says it should work just fine, any tips on what I / Aperture / Apple are doing wrong here greatly appreciated: I have a big family keyword list which I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
Thanks all, James

You are welcome, James! Thanks for the virtual flowers and chocolate!
Very pretty!

Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature? I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents. I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature. I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly. Many thanks! Ms. Gill

I hate to say this, but don't do that.
Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

Importing text from large Word document ID freeze

I'm converting a large Word document to PDF via InDesign and when I import the text from the Word doc, ID always freezes.
I want to preserve the styles and formatting in the text but unfortunately the freeze occurs at the beginning where the Placing Microsoft Office Word 2007 document progress bar shows either "Processing character attributes..." or "Processing table attributes..."
My problem is that it is such a large document with lots of italics, bolds and styles that I would like to take over to InDesign in order to speed up the design process.

RTF will be fine and will retain all the Bold and Italic and other styles. RTF stands for RICH TEXT FORMAT and I think it's better than the standard .doc saved from Word; for importing to InDesign.
Try these steps.
In Word:
File>Save As
Choose RTF (that way you are not overwriting the original file)
In InDesign:
Start a new document - completely blank - don't worry about page size (A4 will do) and don't worry about margins (standard margins will do)
Use File>Place and import the RTF file you just saved
If that imports ok - then select all the text
File>Export and choose RTF (rich text format)
Now use that new RTF to import to your layout
(there is no need to worry about images, you should reimport all images that are in Word through File>Place; if you have any images in your Word document. Make sure you use the same source file as when you placed into Word)
The reasons for the steps above is because there is a lot of unnecessary styles made with Word - and importing to InDesign and a fresh Export to RTF makes a cleaner file to use with InDesign.

Can you import data from a Word bookmark into LabVIEW?

I have been able to insert data into a Word document bookmark with the Report Generation Toolkit with LabVIEW 8.2.1. Is it possible to retrieve data from a Word document bookmark, and if so, how is it done?

I will pay, who creates a method for importing tables from MS word

I need a script or any other type of method, which will import the MSword document, which have tables and footnotes.
WIth "Place" option (with "SHift"), it only imports the first page of word document, and even that first page is degraded and some part of footnotes are moved to the second page of Indesign.
for example,see such document: http://d2.minus.com/1342790256/zDuntjI5q2iNIJqkk5UPJA/dbjwjsXzUbRmjD/sample.rtf
i will pay him, who will do that job (offer me your bid).
my info:
mail: selnomeria(*)yahoo.com
skype: oceane.sa

Hello!
First of all:
Indesign does not support footnotes in tables. There are some tricks i use, for example making a "hidden footnote reference" somwhere in the page (just assign a 0.1pt size and fillcolor of "None") but it's just a ugly hack and if you have to reformat the tables you will have to rebuild all teh footnotes. move them around etc.
Second:
If one of the cells in the table you are importing is larger (verticaly) than the page size the autoflow will stop. The table is imported in the story (check it out in the story editor) but indesign cannot display it. Enlage the frame until the cell fits (or make the cell smaller -decrease the text size?) and reflow the rest of the text.
Third:
If you are working with large tables and especialy large cells be prepared to have numerous crashes. And i mean NUMEROUS!! Every time you try to change something in the table.
i am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but at the moment table and footnote support in indesign is crappy at best, and i don't think there's anyone besides the guys form Adobe that can do anything to help you.

Can I create "keyword list" from keywords in EXIF data?

Hi - I'm still a Mac and Aperture noob, so please excuse me if the question is dumb or ill-formed...
I used to use Photoshop Elements on a PC. I made pretty extensive use of "tags" (keywords, in Aperture lingo) for categorizing my photos. I wrote all the tags into the exif data of my photos, then copied everything over to Aperture.
Now, when I pull up an existing photo in Aperture browser, I can see the keywords that I already added. Great...but, is there a way to extract all the existing keywords from all my photos, and build a "library" of keywords that I can pick and choose from for tagging future photos?
Alternatively - if I could export a keyword list from Photoshop Elements (in txt or XML format, whatever) is there a way that I can import that into Aperture?
From the reading I've done so far, it seems like I have to manually enter keywords on each photo or do a batch update (and, again, manually enter them). I'd much prefer to have a list of keywords that I can scroll down, then just click to select. Is that asking too much of Aperture?

Welcome to the list and Mac's. Don't woory about your questions, veteran Mac and Aperture users here frequently post dumb and ill-formed questions.

I tried what you described to see what would happen. I opened an image in Preview and added a keyword to it (one I was sure wasn't in my Aperture) saved the file and imported into Aperture. The new keyword was bot in the EXIF data field of the image and in Apertures keyword list.
Are you familiar with the *Keywords HUD* (*Window->Show Keyword HUD*)? If you look there do you see your keywords from your imported images?
Alternatively - if I could export a keyword list from Photoshop Elements (in txt or XML format, whatever) is there a way that I can import that into Aperture?
There is a way to import and export keywords see *+Exporting and Importing Keyword Lists+* in the +Aperture Users Manual+ (get to it by *Help->Aperture Help*)

Not at all, ask away (you may not always like the answer )

How to revise keyword list new hierarchy

My present keyword list is just a list of words with no hierarchy. After exporting as a text file, it was noted that many single words have the brackets around them, e.g. [cat] rather than just plain cat. How did this happen? Can I delete my present list and import a "clean" list? How can I create a hierarchy with my present list? Reference to a tutorial or manual would be great. Thanks.

If you have a list of words with no hierarchy, such as the one below:
geography
Europe
Italy
Campagnia
Mount Vesuvius
Naples
Pompeii
and if you export the keyword list to a file, and edit the hierarchy as follows:
geography
    Europe
        Italy
            Campagnia
                Mount Vesuvius
                Naples
                Pompeii
everything would be fine if you did not have any photos associated to these keywords to begin with, but if all of the keywords in the flat list of keywords were already associated to photos, then after importing the keyword list, the keywords in Lightroom would appear as follows:
geography
geography
     Europe
         Italy
             Campagnia
                 Mount Vesuvius
                 Naples
                 Pompeii
Europe
Italy
Campagnia
Mount Vesuvius
Naples
Pompeii
That's because Lightroom stores the full path of a keyword hierarchy when that keyword is associated to a photo.
Based on the above hierarchy, the keyword "Pompeii" can be associated to a photo in the following ways:
Pompeii > Campagnia > Italy > Europe > geography
or
Pompeii
So if you already had photos that had the keyword "Pompeii" associated from the flat list of words, this keyword is different from the keyword "Pompeii > Campagnia > Italy > Europe > geography" and there would not be any photos associated to this last one.
All this said, if a hierarchy is to be changed, it is best to do so within Lightroom itself, by drag and drop, and not by doing an export/import of the keyword list.
Also note that when considering keyword hierarchies, it is best to only assign the keyword that is at the bottom of the hiearchy to your photos, as the ones above will automatically be inherited.
As for the brackets around keywords when you export a keyword list, they mean the following:
The square bracket [ ] around a keyword means that the "Include on Export" is not checked in the Keyword Tag options of the keyword; this keyword will not be included in the export of photos that have this keyword associated to them. The other special character used is curly brackets { } which define synonyms of a keyword. A hierarchy is simply defined by adding a tab for each level of the hierarchy.
Here's an example:
[geography]          - this keyword will not be included in exported photos (its purpose is just to organize the hierarchy)
    Europe
        Italy
            Campagnia
                Mount Vesuvius
                Naples
                Pompeii
sport                    - while this keyword is also for organization of the hierarchy,
                              it has more value and I decided that it should export with photos
    running
        3km
        5km
        first race
        half marathon
    soccer
        {football}          - this is a synonym for the word soccer
So the square brackets [ ] have nothing to do with the hierarchy; it simply indicates wether you want that keyword to be exportable or not.
Finally, a good use of the export/import keyword list is to add or remove these brackets, add synonyms to existing keywords, or add new keywords to the hierarchy, but NOT change an existing hierarchy or create one based on existing keywords.
Hope this helps!

Importing text from word into indesign3

I am importing text from a word document that has lots of footnotes in it into an indesign3 file - I need to keep some of the formatting from the word document i.e italics and tabs however I need to be able to edit and reposition the 'word' footnotes within indesign - I don't seem to be able to do this without turning off the footnotes editing completely before importing? Is there a way around this?

Word is wordprocessor. iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
Copy/pasting formatted text always has unexpected results.
To overcome that, save your Word document as a html file.
Open it in a browser and then copy/paste the text.
iWeb will retain the formatting.
And Lion is an operating system. Just like a Mercedes is a car. Neither has anything to do with your problem.

Importing text from Word to ID

Hello. Which are the best way to import text files? I mean, step by step, from Microsoft Word to ID? It is a headache when you apply an style and booom all the italics and bolds dissapear... Sometimes it works fine when i apply a style, but sometimes it does a disaster. From now, I am really curious about how indesign thinks to resolve the import cases and the work of styles.
1) Why sometimes erase all the word local formats and sometimes does not?
2) Is it a problem using .doc, .docx or .rtf to save text files an import?
3) Is the problem that you work with .TTF fonts (like Arial, Times, Courier) from word and on ID you use OpenType Fonts?
4) What is the NON-FAIL way to do an excellent import? from Microsoft Word to ID
Thanks
Alejandro

When placing, you can select to either preserve 'local' formatting or remove it. Local formatting is "anything done without using a style", just as it is in InDesign. As Ellis says, check your import settings.
In addition, even if you 'preserve' local formatting, it's very easy to accidentally remove it in InDesign when you apply another style. If common attributes such as bold and italics are not applied through character styles in the original Word document, you should preserve them yourself by doing that in InDesign.
2) Is it a problem using .doc, .docx or .rtf to save text files an import?
Yes, on all three. There is no single format that InDesign works best with. If a Word document causes me trouble, I try the other options until I get not exactly the "best" result, but more accurately a "least bad".
3) Is the problem that you work with .TTF fonts (like Arial, Times, Courier) from word and on ID you use OpenType Fonts?
Not in the least. Actually, you can use TTF fonts as well as OTF fonts with InDesign. The import is totally indifferent of the fonts used -- it doesn't matter what you used in Word, you'll get the same fonts in the imported text. That is, except when it's bitmap fonts, which you cannot use in InDesign, or when the author italicized or bolded text in Word where the actual Bold or Italic font doesn't exist. But even then, InDesign will happily import the text -- it will just have an 'unavailable' font assigned to it, and you'll be notified of that.
4) What is the NON-FAIL way to do an excellent import? from Microsoft Word to ID
I would like to know the answer to that as well. The import filter has problems with tables, footnotes, endnotes, automatic references, and new page codes, for .docx, .rtf, and .doc files.

Selecting and importing text from Word

Hi..
I am interested in importing text from Microsoft Word into labview.
The text will be identified by a particular 'style'. I have seen examples of reading text marked by 'bookmarks' however this doesn't appear to be sufficient or flexible enough for this application.
I have tried adapting the 'bookmark' code (using different property/invoke nodes) but can't seem to find something that works in a similar way.
Just wondering if anyone has already tried something similar.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
(Labview 8.2.1 + Report Generation Toolkits)

Hi Mark,
The plan was to be able to sift through text in a Word document for blocks of text that match a particular 'style' (determined by us) and import the text into Labview to populate VI descriptions/free labels etc.
I have adapted some code I have found to be able to cycle through table rows/columns and be able to match text/string patterns, however matching the 'style' property should make this operation a little cleaner or perhaps give us more control over what strings are matched.

Importing keywords from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library

I start a new iPhoto library at the beginning of every year. I've made a collection of keywords in the previous years library that I would like to import into the new iPhoto library. I've tried assigning all of the keywords to one picture, exporting it from the old library and importing it to the new library, but it didn't take the keywords with it. Is there anyway to import this keyword list so that I don't have to recreate it?
Thanks,
Claire

Claire
You're on the right track, but you'll need iPhoto Library Manager to do it. It's the only way to move files from one library to another while maintaining metadata. So, assign all the keywords to one pic, then transfer it to the new library using iPLM. It's a $20 shareware, and all round good app. You can read about it here:

Export and Import a Keyword List

Yesterday I exported the keyword list and then acted on the suggestion from LightroomSecrets site to 'organize' while it is in text format. This went very well using a text editor.
The IMPORT doesn't overwrite the existing list. It merges INTO the list.
So now I'm still scrolling up and down collecting the keywords that are stand alone to undo and then put a checkmark beside the subkey in a category. I would have been wiser to have reorganized a few and repeated the export,import <grin>
If keywording is promoted as such an important feature and a main item for management in Lightroom then, it would seem to me that the 'LIST' itself could have been designed in a more efficient manner...Such as : a right click menu...or a browse and choice to move to...
I suppose the architects of this list assumed users would have their keywording planned out ahead of time. Never assume <grin> I've only now (V1 to V3.4.1) got my head around the category concept so much reorganization required. Scroll up and down and zoom past the category wanted....not an exercise I can stay with for long periods of time <LOL!>

Keywords are kept in the main database file and when you create a new library, you create a new database.
The only way I can think of to what you want is to select a single pic and give it ALL the keywords, then use iPhoto Library Manager to move that pic from the old library to the new one. iplm is the only way to move pics and metadata between libraries while using v6. (hmm, another reason to upgrade.)
And, as I mentioned in my other post, if you're a "keyword fanatic" then check out Keyword Manager
