Importing addresses in Word document into Address Book

I have a Word document that has all of my addresses in a label-like format.
How do I import this into Address Book? can I make some easy modifications so I do not have to retype the whole thing into Address Book.

Mail can import a tab delimited text file. Do a find and replace to change the spaces to Tabs. If you have a double-return between records, then you can search for that and replace it with a manual line break. Then, change the rest of the paragraphs to tabs so that each record is one line.
You can then change the manual line breaks back to paragraph marks.
You may have to ensure you have the same number of fields for each record by adding tabs to ones that don't have all the info of the rest.

How do i import a large word document into Indesign CS6?

I am a new user to InDesign, using version CS6, I would like to know if there is an easy way to import a MS word document into InDesign. The document is about 1000 pages and contains text, images and tables.

Notes on importing from Word to InDesign CS6 and exporting via Kindle Plugin can be found on my blog at:
http://02cafd3.netsolhost.com/blogs/eBookTec/?p=316
To make a long story short, the Kindle Plugin has a long-standing problem with tables and/or more than a certain limit of hyperlinks. Since these problems have persisted for at least 2 years now, I must conclude that there are organizational problems on the Kindle Plugin project. The possibilities include too many junior programmers, not enough attention to the project, not enough positive incentive to make the plugin work and any number of possible management weaknesses. It took our JPL team about 3 years to put Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, so there's no way a technical problem could be standing this long in the way of the Kindle Plugin handling tables or any number of embedded hyperlinks - nor, for that matter, a Word source document of any reasonable size whatsoever. One might also cite a lack of competition in this new business sector but then you'd have to ask, do they want to play in the eBook market or don't they? Companies like Apple succeed by ignoring the competition and in this way end up setting the standards for decades to come.

Losy images after importing Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML

We imported a simple Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML, as a
new project (from scratch).
Everything worked out pretty well (afterall, this was just a
simple Word document), and we expect to have to tweak the styles,
etc. That is understood.
However, the images that were embedded in the Word document
(as opposed to saved to disk, and only linked to the Word document)
do not look very nice in the RoboHelp 7 HTML project topics.
When we browse to the iamge folder, and view the actual image
files, these images do not look too bad. But in the Design View,
the images have display issues (solid color bars on the
sides/top/bottom of the images). When we compile to a Single Source
Layout (except PDF), the images look fine again. When we create
Printed Documentation, even for the best PDF-settings, the images
look terrible -- smudgy, like low resolution quality).
1) Except for storing the images outside of the Word document
before importing, and then manually linking them back into the
imported RoboHelp HTML files, is there a way to maximize the
quality of the imported Word images in RoboHelp HTML?
2) Why doe the images look worse in Printed Documenation
(PDF), even for the highest PDF settings, than for the other Single
Source Layouts?
While I am typing, I realized that we should try to include
the images in Word via a link to the image files on disk. Perhaps
then RoboHelp will not actually modify the image files during
import. I will report back about this one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Looks perfect, works terribly...
Things to consider:
Chances are, the different treatments of the space are due to whether the space was included in the bolding of the word in MS Word.
Additionally, since Word files contain much underlying binary code (macros and such), your security settings might or might not be playing well with the Word stuff.
Are you importing the Word file from a network location, or from your local machine? Network traffic might be partially impacting the import, too.
Bottom line? You'll probably need to clear all formatting in the Word file and redo the formatting properly. To test this, cut a couple of pages into a new Word file, clear and redo the formatting in Word, import the Word file into another RH project, and see what results you get.
To clear the formatting:
Select text.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear Formatting.
Redo the formatting, being careful to not format the spaces.
Good luck,
Leon

Can't import csv document into address book

Hi folks, I can't import a csv document into address book. Just get a spinning wheel. I am an OSX 10.5.9 (Leopard) I exported a csv file from Excel then tried to import but nothing happens except a spinning wheel some times.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

You need to have setup your document with the appropriate fields for each piece of data, otherwise Address Book can't import it. If you take your current Address Book and export all the contacts as a single vCard file, then use this online tool (http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/) to convert them to a CSV file, you can open the result in Excel or Pages to see how your document should be setup when you export it to CSV for importing into Address Book.

Re-importing word document into existing project

2. I imported a Word (Windows XP) doc to create my robohelp
project.
I am new to RoboHelp, so please bear with me...
I had imported a word document into a project for HTML Help.
I had mapped some IDs to create context sensitive help to work with
our application. When the word doc is updated and I re-import it,
the topics are duplicated in the TOC. (I normally get updates of
this document from another department and we need to convert it to
HMTL help for our application).
How do I fix this or prevent this from happening? (Other than
delete the old project, create a new project, and import updated
word document since I would have to remap all the IDs again.)
Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I have to disagree with your estimate, for the main
reason that all those reviewers will be manipulating the Word
document with their own formatting quirks, which will only serve to
corrupt the doc file and make its repeated importation increasingly
problematic.
Remember, you're looking to convert a binary file with tons
of macros into HTML code, essentially a flat text file. I suspect
that remapping the IDs will end up being the least of your problems
as you go further into repeated review cycles.
Good luck,
Leon

Cannot import Microsoft Office 2013 Word document into Adobe LC ES4

I have installed the live cycle designer ES4 for 64 bit systems. I am not able to import a Microsoft Word document (MS Office 2013). I have looked through the forums and found instances of this happening to many users.
The solution is a registry hack to put in a key and value and Adobe says this was fixed in ES3. When I went to the registry, the key and value were already there and the program still gives me the error of not being able to open because it believes Word is not installed on my machine. Please advise. I am running on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system (Service Pack 1) with Microsoft Office 2013

Hi,
Are those problematic documents created via previous versions of Office?
Please also try to run a repair of your Office 2013 installtion and check if it helps. See:

Is it possible to import fast a word.doc into Indesign

Hallo,
I am producing department documents. Now I have some problems because I created them in word from microsoft.
Is it possible to import the word documents into the indesign format in an easy way?
It should be time safing and effective.
I would be glad for some answers!
best wishes

The way you move word dodument s into InDesign is by using File > Place..., selecting the word file in the dialog, chooing import options if you like, and clicking the cursor in the InDesign document. How you've set upt he ID file will have a lot to so with wher you should click and whether or not you should be also pressing the Shift key to autoflow.
It's quite clear you have no idea how InDesign works, so before you get into trouble you should look around for some books or tutorials, and try reading the help files. One of the best books out there for new users is Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to InDesign.

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. How do I do that?

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book. The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book. I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
E.g. (using your code):
String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
// do something
}

Converting Word Document into Robohelp format

I am new at Robohelp and have been recently assigned a task to convert several Word documents into Robohelp using version 9 of RoboHelp. Can someone please direct me in the right direction (location, URL, tutorials etc.) to find some step-by-step help, it would be most appreciative

Hi Michael.
Rick asked that question because there IS a method of linking a Word file to a Robohelp project and bringing in any changes to them. It was designed exactly for the scenario where a SME or client writes the content and someone else just acts as a kind of content curator. However if you just want to import the Word file, this is fine also but you'll need to understand that once the content is in RoboHelp, the content would need to be changed in Robohelp.
There is a good tutorial on the benefits of both linking and importing over on Peter Grainge's website (see the link below). This is a very useful resource for all things RoboHelp and well worth bookmarking.

Transform a Word document into a RoboHelp7 project

Hi all,
One question: Is it possible to transform a Word document into a RoboHelp7 project besides copy and paste from the document into the project?
Thank you

Hi Bogdan.
Can you take a big step backwards here to avoid any further confusion on both our paths
In your old RH for Word project, what was your output type? Also when you worked inside your RH for Word project you'd have had an .RTF file not a DOCX file as your source. It sounds like you may have generated a .DOCX file from your source. Is this right? If so, what I was suggesting is that you put the DOCX file to one side and try a different method of getting your content into a RH HTML project. Typically the RH for Word application is used to generate a WinHelp file which you can use to import into a RH HTML project. Let us know the answers to the above and we'll go from there.

Importing Testcases from Word Document

I want to import testcase form Word Document document to MTM tool. Are there any tools available for acheving this?
The testcases table to import is not getting recognosed when I tried with "Test Case Migrator Plus".
Able to import if the testcases are stored in excel. However, the entry stroke in a same cell is getting created as new test step. i.e New test steps is getting added in MTM tool if test step is written with a line break in excel.
Any help on this would be great.

Hello.
Glad to receive your reply.
Based on this link: http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/,
test Case Migrator Plus tool allows test related artifacts, present in Excel and MHT/Word formats, to be imported into Team Foundation Server.
I think that it support importing test cases from Word format into TFS. Then you can run those test cases in MTM.
As I mentioned in my previous reply,
Except Test Case Migrator Plus, and I don’t find any other tools which support this kind of import.
If you get issues when you use “Test Case Migrator Plus” to import test case from Word Document to TFS, you can start a discussion onhttp://tcmimport.codeplex.com/discussions
for better response.

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.
