Importing a table from a word doc

I have several tables I'd like ti include in the ibook i'm creating. If I use the "create page from word document" function I can easily upload everything else from the word doc, but if the table is long then more than half the data is off the page and there is no way to make it continue on the next page. Is there an easier way to make these tables readable? I've tried using the interactive image widget but it's not ideal..
thank you!!!!

It seems n imperfect process regardless, sorry.
I've found there are basically two ways, the first being to rework the data into a compatible table manually on the iBA side, the second being to rework the table on the WORD side so that it is better accepted.
The specific recipe frequently depends on your data and your skills, I think.

Importing a table from Microsoft Word

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

Creating a pdf from a word doc and the image and footer will not show

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc that has an image and footer. Neither will show in the pdf. Also getting this message "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from the Adobe website." My Cloud says it is updated.

What was the Original?
If it was from Word, chances are the top and bottom Margins were set too narrow. (should not be less than .5 inches even more safety 1" would be better). As for graphics. Check in Word preferences (may be called different in a windows machine) make sure in view and Print settings "Graphics" is checked (show Graphics and Print Graphics).

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

Font changes when i try to create a pdf from a word doc

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc. I have tried multiple times and each time i do the font i used in the word doc gets changed on the pdf

This seems to be a common problem... this is not the first time I have seen this. Unless it is a general system font, such as Arial, then it seems not to convert too well.
So, if it doesn't matter what font, then just change the font.
Hopefully, Adobe fixes this in the next year. xD
Good luck

Error importing a table from DB2 in OBI 10g

Hello,
I am trying to import a table from DB2, but I have the following issue:
*[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 29986 message: [IBM][Controlador ODBC de iSeries Access][DB2 UDB]SQL0901 - Error del sistema SQL..*
Steps I have done are:
1) Create System DSN
Driver: iSeries Access ODBC Driver
2) Create a new database
Database souce definition = Database DB2/AS400
3) Create a new connection pool -->
Call interface: DB2 CLI (Unicode)
Datasource name: System name (specified in the System DSN)
I have tested with System DSN name too
Username: username DB
Password: pwd DB
c) Import table: File --> Import --> from Database
Connection Type = ODBC 3.5 and I select the System DSN created
I am working with OBI 10g (10.1.3.2.1) in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and the DB2 is OS400 V5R4.
Thank you and regards,
Mónica.

Hi,
I have installed the DB2 client and from Access with the same ODBC is possible to import tables, but I don't understand why I can't do this operation from Administration Tool.
Do you know how can I test the ODBC? Or if it is possible to see the error with more details (any log file)? I have tested a lot of things, but I can't solve the issue.
The PATH system variable is right:
D:\oracle\bise1\bi\server\Bin;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\web\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\web\catalogmanager;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\SQLAnywhere;D:\oracle\bise1\jdk\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\db\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\owb\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\TOOLS;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1\Shared;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1\Emulator;
And in the path that it is mentioned in the error I can find the dll.
Are being doing any wrong step to import a table?
Thank you and regards,
Mónica.

Is there a way I can easily manipulate tables from Microsoft Word in Illustrator?

So my boss has a lot of tables from microsoft word that she wants to move into Illustrator in hopes that this will be easier for her to manipulate them. However, her main concern is that she wants to be able to easily edit the content of the tables without having to individually adjust each row or cell. Is there a way to move microsoft word tables into illustrator in a way that when adding new content, the rows and cells adjust to fit the text?
I've played around with tables in illustrator in a few different ways trying to make this work, like using the area type tool options to add rows and columns to a text box, using the rectangular grid tool, and simply copying and pasting tables from word into Illustrator. I've run into the same issue each time, which was that I could pretty easily change the text, but when it comes to resizing the cells, it's pretty similar to word.
Is there any way I can make this work in Illustrator? Or would this be possible with another program like Photoshop or Indesign?
Any advice is appreciated.

We are going to try InDesign, thank you

How to import a table from another database using DB toolset.

Hello All
I would like to import a table from one database to another using DB toolbox.
I do not want to import all data to LV and then save them to another database. Instead I would prefer to use SQL syntax.
Does anobody know how to write SQL command to import whole table from one database to another?
I have found in some SQL manual that INSERT INTO should work, but JET4 returns an error that table (e.g. c:\mydatabase\table1) can not be found.
Thanks in advance

Can Form Fields from uploaded WORD docs become Sharepoint columns ?

Hello -
We are in the process of uploading many Word docs from Shared drives to Sharepoint (2010 )
Some of the Word documents have information stored in Form Fields. For Example : BuyerName & SellerName. These fields need to be used in SP for sorting, filtering etc.
We have tried creating columns on Sharepoint with the same names (BuyerName & SellerName) but the information from the Word docs does not display in the corresponding Sharepoint columns once the docs are uploaded.
Any advice on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated !
