Importing and linking Word and FrameMaker documents

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f77726-7cd412b3136bfd6ca9e-8000. html

Linking is only possible if you have the Technical Communication Suite. Having RoboHelp and FrameMaker standalone products does not have the linking functionality.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

Importing footnotes from Word (and making endnotes)

I have always had great problems importing footnotes from Word. After having saved Word as an .rtf and importing the text through and Cmd/Ctrl-D the footnotes come in at the bottom of every column in the text frame.
Is there any way of getting them to go to the end of the text whilst still keeping their numbers and the numbers in the body of the text?
I think what I want to do is change footnotes to endnotes.
At the moment I'm just deleting all the footnotes from each column and changing the leading to zero to close the box and then pasting all the footnotes from Word into the document as endnotes.
This way at least I still get the superscript numbers in the text OK but it's not a very elegant solution.

Hello Guys, Thank you so much for your answers. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I've been really busy and I've only just got back to this job where I have all the footnotes. I tried the Footnotes2Endnotes_v23.jsx and it worked first time!!
This will save me countless hours with this issue. I have resorted to pasting in the text and laboriously re-entered the numbers in the past!
Thank you Eugene and David.

Maximum number of pages and links in an InDesign Document

We have an InDesign document that is 79 pages, and contains about 700 image links and 700 text links. The links in total are about 7GB (most text documents are 2-6K; images could be anywhere from 1 to 50MB). the InDesign document is 220MB.
If we house the package of the InDesign Document and the links on a local machine, it takes our machine about 2 minutes to load the file for editing. If the packaged is housed on a NAS drive (BUFFALO TERASTATION using Gigabit), it takes 16 minutes to load.
I'm wondering if there is a set of "best practices" that suggests a limit to the size of the package, and if you exceed that limit, you should expect poor performance? (Like should we limit our documents to 10 pages and 1GB of links?)
Are we asking for trouble by having documents and links this large? or is there some network or settings or performance issues on our network and on our MACs that I should be looking at first?
Thanks for any comments or assistance.

To answer in a simpler way:
Page number limit per document: 9999 pages
Link limit: your computer configuration (processor, ram, etc) determines it.
Remember, if u run very large documents, you need to upgrade your configuration accordly. If you not have enough available resources to run a job fast, its clear the computer/network needs an upgrade. There are models of HP computers that can reach 128gb of ram memory, and they are not server, they are workstations.
the other way is to avoid extra image data on links (large images in size, far from the output size) and work with the exact size you need, because this extra size can be the cause of the extra processing time.
"We "strive" to do the editing in PS, but often we have a PS file that we want to keep at 4x4 (for future or other purposes), but will place it in InDesign as 2x2 -- so we edit it in InDesign. Should we be creating a new 2x2 file for this one-time purpose?"
Thats the idea, (extra size = extra processing = extra time) X number of you images.

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...

Working with Word Templates and signed Word macros storing documents in SAP

HI,
we are storing word documents in the SAP BDS. The documents contain macros. The security settings for word macros cannot be reduced in our environment.
So the documents / macros were signed. They work well. but as soon as they have been stored in the SAP BDS, we get the error message "You have modified a signed project.You do not have the correct key to sign this project. The signature will be discarded"
After that the word macros do not run.
Does anybody know this problem and the solution?
Regards
Harald

And this is related to workflow in what way?

Martin

How to import text from Word and retain italics and/or indented text?

Is it possible to import or copy text from Word into InDesign and retain italics or text that is indented in the Word version?

just wanna edit wrote:
Thank you, I think I understand the idea of "place" (which is what I would call "paste")
The two are not at all the same. Paste involves copying text to the clipboard and then pasting from the clipboard. Place is an import operation.

HT2506 how do I make preview the default reader when I open a file? I just installed Icloud and Microsoft word and excel are still the default.

I just installed icloud. Afterwards I am having trouble opening files becasue Microsoft excel and word aren't working now. How do I change the default to preview to open files?

Do I have to do this for each file?
When someone sends me a file created in Excel, can my computer default to opening it wit Numbers?
Thanks, your fix worked for the individual file.

Downloaded Security Update and Microsoft Word and iPhoto don't work

I recently downloaded the newest Security Update for my Mac, and now Microsoft Word won't launch, giving me the error message:
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>"
and photos won't appear in iPhoto. That is, iPhoto launches, but when I click on a picture to view it, the loading rotating circle appears in the middle and the picture doesn't come up. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I've got the teacher's version of MS Office and it wasn't affected by the security update. You might have to reinstall MS to get the supporting files back.
You might ask over in the Tiger forum. Someone may have first hand experience with that.

Has anybody tested the import and linking enhancements in RH 9 HTML?

All,
I am testing a trial version of RH 9. All looks good except I’m not understanding some of the import and linking enhancements. Has anyone tried the new relative path benefit by moving a project or source document? I’ve done both and I get the same results as in RH 8—if the project moves, the links work fine, and when the source document moves, you have to use the “restore to link” feature in order to update the link document. Am I missing something?
Here’s the “what’s new in RH 9” lingo:
RoboHelp 9 saves the relative path, instead of the absolute path, of linked documents. As a result, the links work even when the RoboHelp project and the linked Microsoft Word or FrameMaker documents are moved.
Note: Earlier versions of RoboHelp projects that contain absolute paths of linked documents open normally in RoboHelp 9. While saving these projects, RoboHelp 9 saves the relative path
Thanks!

Looking again at your first post in the thread, it does state on saving RoboHelp 9 changes the path to being relative. If Linking by Copy then it is an enhancement as it avoids the link having to be recreated if you move the project.
For Create by Reference I would say an absolute path is preferable as it then doesn't matter if the project moves and you are saying that does work. If it is the document that moves, somehow RoboHelp has to be told where.
Sounds like what is wrong is the help not qualifying when the relative link is used. You could add a comment to the help to get that fixed.

Why doesit just copy the words and not the whole selection?

whenever I select a few objects in my illustrator document (for example a circle, a texture and a word) and click on copy+paste, it only copies the word and not even with the size and typo I had chosen for it. How can I fix this problem without having to select the objects one by one and re-doing the format of the words?

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem and I would like to give all the details.
I operate:
-Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0
-Windows 7 64b (professional)
The problem is about selecting and copying an object with a text from Illustrator and pasting them into Word.
Here are the details about the problem:
-First I have drawn 2 objects: one is a rectangle with a hatching pattern and the other is the typo "A" around the rectangle. See the photo below "Illustr_doc_orig.png".
-Secondly I'm only selecting the rectangle. I'm copying and pasting it into a Word document:
No problem (see the photos below "Illustr_rect_select.png" and the "word_doc_image.png")
-Secondly I'm selecting and copying both objects: the rectangle plus the typo "A" around it (see the photo attached "Illustr_both_select.png").
Then I'm pasting them into the previous Word document. The problem is that only the typo is pasted in the Word document!!! (see the previous "word_doc_image.png")
How to copy and paste the rectangle AND the typo altogether in the Word document?
Many thanks for any help.
Kind regards,
Jean-Paul

Please help with templates.
Thanks

Hi,
Ad Code #1
First of all the key for BKPF consists of:
BUKRS, BELNR and GJAHR so I think you should use all key fields in your SELECT statement:
select single * from BKPF into I_BKPF
where BUKRS = l_s_DTFIAP_3-BUKRS and
      BELNR = l_s_DTFIAP_3-BELNR and
      GJAHR = l_s_DTFIAP_3-GJAHR.
And why do you test SY-SUBRC after CLEAR ?
Your IF statement should be after SELECT...
And last but not least when you are using SELECT SINGLE you always get only one record so what is the purpose of LOOP statement ?
Try following code:
case I_datasource.
WHEN '0FI_AP_4'.
loop at C_t_data into l_s_DTFIAP_3.
    l_tabix = sy-tabix.
    select single * from BKPF into I_BKPF
      where BUKRS = l_s_DTFIAP_3-BUKRS and
            BELNR = l_s_DTFIAP_3-BELNR and
            GJAHR = l_s_DTFIAP_3-GJAHR.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      if (I_BKPF-TCODE = FV50) OR
         (I_BKPF-TCODE = FB01).
        I_FINAL-BELNR = I_BKPF-BELNR
        modify I_FINAL.
      endif.
      modify C_t_data from l_s_DTFIAP_3 index l_tabix.
    endif.
endloop.
endcase.

Smaller images from linking Word doc not showing in RH8 Webhelp

I am using RH8 and linking Word Documents. Will generate as WebHelp. All images are pasted into the word documents using Snagit. The images are varying in size and need to be that way. It seems as though RH8 imports larger images as .jpg files and display fine but converts the smaller ones to .png files and they are not displayed. Only a box is displayed saying the image file is missing for the smaller .png files. The larger .jpg files display fine. Why are they coming in as different types? Does anyone know of a work around to fix this? Upon searching the forum for an answer I only found a script that will make all images one size. Is there a setting either in Word or RH8 that needs to be adjusted? Thank you for your help.

See Snippet 125 on my site.
If Word is treating the images differently when you paste, which seems odd, try inserting via Word's menus.

When I copy and paste an image from Word for usage in a Framemaker document it becomes blurred.

Hi,
I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
Thanks,
Niall.

The problem has to be the image itself, but then you give us zero information.
We don't even know what platform you are on, Macintosh or Windows, what exact version of the OS, of Photoshop, or Word you are using, how you are getting what kind of image from Word, etc.
It could be that you're just copying the low resolution thumbnail preview from MS Word, but we know nothing about its dimensions, resolution or format.
