Importing footnotes in tables from a Word document

Hi everybody,
I am new here. Hoping to find an answer for a problem i am dealing with. It's about footnotes in tables from an imported Word document. I noticed there are several discussion about this topic, but couldn't find a satisfying answer. So...
Like a said i am importing a Word document in InDesign. This document is containing footnotes in text and in tables. In the Word document the numbering for the footnotes is for example, number 1-9 in text and 10 in table, 11-15 again in text and 16 in table. In others words, the footnotes both from text and tables are one serie of numbers. When i import this Word text in InDesign the numbering is changing. The numbering of the footnotes in tables starts with number 1. So in InDesign i have two separated series of footnotes. Each starting from number 1. And that 's a problem. I want them to apair as one serie of numbers, including the footnotes in tables. Is there a solution for this problem?
An other minor problem is that the footnotes in the tables appear at the end of the document and not as footnotes. Like I said before two separated series.
At the end i want to change, in the InDesign document, all the footnotes into endnotes. I know how to do that.
Is there a solution? Maybe changing something in Word? (I tried saving as RTF tekst, changing footnotes into endnotes in Word but it didn't help). Can GREP being of any use?
I hope you can be of any help. Already thanks.

When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign

When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign I can only see the text from the first page of the Word document. I have increased the number of pages in the Indesign document to more than what is in the Word document, still only text from the first page is shown. What am I doing wrong or did I not set a setting correctly?

When you want to auto flow text while placing, hold down the Shift key when clicking with the Place cursor on the first page. New pages will be generated and text will be auto flowed using the margins set up on the master page.

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.

Excel table in a word document coming up black during pdf convert

I am converting word 2003 documents to pdf using adobe professional 7.0 and an excel table inside the word document is coming out as completely filled in black after the convert.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks tim

If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Word conversion, with the response that different versions of Word have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 update)

Acrobat 7.0 has several updates to apply

How to insert data into a table from an xml document

using the XmlSql Utility, how do I insert data into a table from an xml document, using the sqlplus prompt.
if i use the xmlgen.insertXML(....)
requires a CLOB file, which i dont have, only the xml doc.
Cant i insert directly from the doc to the table?
the xmlgen examples I have seen first convert a table to a CLOB xmlString and then insert it into another table.
Isnt there any other way?

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.
java OracleXML putXML

How can one print a particular page or pages from a Word Document using ActiveX or any other technique?

I've been trying to print a few pages from a Word document.
Currently I am able to print the entire document using some ActiveX techniques.
There seems to be facilities for selecting the particular pages, however so far I cannot get them to work.
I have tried the From/To and the Pages in the PrintOut invoke node.
And as you will see I have also tried the Range node.
Anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
Please see the attached vi.
Thanks,
Chris

Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

Hi!
I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

Desktop office integration : Creating and filling tables in a word document

Hi all,
I want to create a table in a word document and then fill it with data. The word processor interface has only 'insert_table' methods which can download the data in an ABAP internal table to an already
existing table in a word document, but in my case I also want to create the word table, titles etc. in the word document. Has someone experience with such kind of a requirement or have someone an example for it?
Kind Regards,
Sükrü

Hi,
May this one will help you.
CREATE OBJECT wordapp 'Word.Application'.
CALL METHOD OF wordapp 'Documents' = documents.
CALL METHOD OF documents 'Add' = thisdoc.
CALL METHOD OF thisdoc 'Activate'.
GET PROPERTY OF wordapp 'Selection' = selection.
SET PROPERTY OF wordapp 'Visible' = 1.
CALL METHOD OF selection 'TypeParagraph'.
CALL METHOD OF selection 'TypeText'
EXPORTING #1 = 'New Document'.
GET PROPERTY OF wordapp 'Tables' = tables.
CALL METHOD OF tables 'Add' = thistable.
SET PROPERTY OF thistable 'NumRows' = 2.
SET PROPERTY OF thistable 'NumColumns' = 2.
or you can check
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'TABLEINSERTTABLE'
EXPORTING
#01 = 2
#02 = 3.

Automatically copy only the unicode-Text from a Word-Document into FM8

In my daily work I often have the problem to copy and paste text from a Word-Document or other documents into my FrameMaker documents.
The common way is to copy it in Word and "Special Paste" it in FrameMaker 8 as unicode. But this is not as confortable as to shortly hit Ctrl-v on the keyboard.
I would like to have a new menuitem to special paste only the unicode text from the clipbopard. Is there a way to make such a makro and to put it in the menubar with a Key-Trigger?
I read something like that in http://www.rzg.mpg.de/from_external/Frame6_Handbuch/Setting_up_FrameMaker.pdf (german), but I actually don't know what to chage for my case.

Rather than create a new menu item (possible, I gather, but fiddly) I would recommendchanging the default “paste” behaviour.
In the MAKER.INI file there is a line beginning
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=
Change this to put UNICODE TEXT as the first item.
Ctrl-v will then paste Unicode text by default. You can still access the other options, should you need to, by using Paste Special.

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
