Importing jpeg's to Microsoft word

I am looking to import some jpeg's to word using activex, but i am having trouble doing that. need help on how to import a jpeg to labview.I do not have the office toolkit.
thanks
anand

You may need to visit msdn.microsoft.com to get more information about the implementation of Word's activeX ablities. Once you find a promising command, Microsoft usually has a VB example that can copied/translated into LabVIEW. I believe finding the command and an example to be the hard part of the problem.
LabVIEW controls have a method to read their image. You can use this with some coding to save the image to file. (Be sure to look at the help for the method).I am not sure how you would get it into Word at that point but it is a start.

Importing a table from Microsoft Word

I'm importing a table from Microsoft Word but the formatting isn't importing. For example, most of the grid lines are missing.

Importing a TOC from Microsoft Word

I'm working on a Medical instruction manual that was done in Microsoft Word.    The TOC came over and SEEMs to link up to it's appropriate areas but I'm having a hard double checking because of the naming conventions (i.e. "ref00084848").   I want to make sure the TOC links up to it's appropriate pages...and I'd also like to know how to make the pages dictate the TOC. For example if we added a page which pushed pages, is there a way for that to automatically update the TOC?
One other question: This manual is going to be dictated in several languages so it's 144 pages and the entire thing is threaded.   THere are diagrams with arrows pointing at specific things in photos with words.    Normally I would do it in illustator and place them in the text block to nest them but because their being translated I have to keep the all text in InDesign. Is there an easy way to nest everything like this?
Thank you in advance!

To completely destroy all of the xrefs that make up the imported Word TOC and rebuild a brand-new TOC with InDesign's Table of Contents tool. Which you want to do anyways because:
This manual is going to be dictated in several languages
I'm guessing here that "dictated" means "translated." That Word TOC stuff, you'll barely be able to get it to work in English, don't try to send it through translation.

An anchored object would work here, I think - depending on how you expect the language service provider to work, what you expect to get back, and so on. You could place an InDesign file into another InDesign file, just as you could place an Illustrator file, but I can't tell if you expect to hand off a package with all links to your LSP, or if you are expected to just export IDML, and they expect to return only IDML for you to clean up (which is a pretty terrible translation workflow, but normal for the bottom end of the language industry, for what it's worth).

Importing Address Information From Microsoft Word

I have a list of address in Microsoft Word that I want to import into Address Book. Here is an example of the format of the addresses:
Hy-Drive Technologies Ltd.
4-6705 Millcreek Drive Mississauga, Ontario
L5N 5M4
(905) 542-3024
[email protected]
http://www.hy-drive.com/main/default.asp
There is a space in between each address entry. In the document there are 100 addresses. How on earth to get this stuff into address book? I thought to paste into excel and some how arrange the data so it could then be imported into address book in the form of a csv file. However, I can't figure out how to arrange the addresses in Excel so it would work.
Any ideas?

In Word: Edit your addresses so they all have the same number of lines, but if this might result in a blank line in the middle of a set of details put in "dummy" or some similar placeholder.
Edit/Find.
In the Find box type "^p^p". Click Replace. In the replace box type "zzzzzz". Click replace all. This will take out the blank line between sets.
In the Find box put "^p". In the Replace box put "^t". Click replace all. This will put a tab between each field in an address set.
In the Find box put "zzzzzz". In the Replace box put "^p". Click replace all. This will restore the end-of-line marker between each set of details.
If you put in any "dummy" in the Find box put "dummy". Delete the contents of the replace box. Click replace all. Close the Find/Replace dialog.
File/Save as. Set the format to Text Only. Give the file a name which ends .txt (eg addies.txt). You now have a tab-delimited file in which there is a tab between each piece of information in a set and a return between each set.
When you import it into Address Book you should get a dialog that allows you to set the correspondance between your various pieces of information (city, phone, email etc) and the corresponding Address Book fields.

Successfully importing cross-references from Microsoft Word into InDesign?

Hello --
I am laying out a series of long documents (~130 pages each) in InDesign CS5.5.
The writer for the project has used cross-references in MS Word for areas like the TOC, index and page references ("See page X for more information").
Is it possible to import these cross-references into InDesign so that the InDesign document functions like the Word document with the cross-references?
I am thinking no because I am having a ton of trouble with it so far, but wanted to get a definite answer from an expert.
When I import the text, the cross-references appear in InDesign in the Hyperlinks/cross-reference panel. However, InDesign says they need to be updated based on the way the text flowed in InDesign. And when I click the auto update button, all sorts of funky stuff happens and basically -- the cross-references create a bunch of typos and become junk.
Thoughts? Knowledge on this topic?
Thanks in advance!!

I can't speak to general or specific causes of your cross-reference problems. However, I believe that InDesign x-refs behave a bit differently in CS4, CS5, and CS5.5, and if you have either of these earlier releases, you might try them for comparison.
Also, you might want to look into the free trial of DTP Tools' cross-references plug-in for InDesign, at dtptools.com, to see if it's more successful than InDesign's built-in x-refs.

Editing a document imported into Microsoft Word

Anyone know if there's a way to edit a scanned document that is imported into Microsoft Word? When I scan it it saves as either a JPEG file or PDF.
Thanks!

I've got a feeling that he means editing a textual document that was scanned in. In that case, OCR software would be needed. I'm not familiar with any on the Mac side, but I know Omnisoft works pretty well on the Windows side.

Changing photo format from "microsoft word doc" to jpeg or other supported photoshop format

hi --
on my windows XP (home edition) i have many photos stored under "my documents." one is categorized as a "microsoft word document," despite the fact that it is a photo (this may be b/c i was very unskilled at the computer when i scanned this photo in and thus selected the wrong format? i'm still not "skilled" but i'm doing better!).
when i tried to import this photo into my photoshop album (starter edition 3.0), i got a message that says "format not supported" or something similar. how do i change the format of the photo so that it will be accepted into my photoshop album? i haven't had any trouble with photos in other formats (jpeg, etc.).
thanks very much for any assistance -- susie margaret

On my other computer I have a different photo software. Once I download the pictures from the card reader and left click on the photo I want, it simply gives me a choice to save it in the computer, under MY PICTURE or desktop etc. in jpg.
When I left click on the picture on the adobe photoshop 2.0 starter edition, it gives many choices such as : copy,turn, edit, but not saving.
How do I save it on the computer to add it to a real estate home sells website for pictures on the home advertisement or virtual tour. Also when the pictures were read off of the card reader it popped out all of the pictures 120 of them. I only need 3 of them saved. Please tell me step by step . Thank you.

Converting Microsoft Word 2007 documents to PDF - Lines round all jpegs?

Hi,
I have recently had a new suite of headed notepaper designed and set up in Microsoft Word and it was all going swimingly until we tried converting the completed docments on our computers into a PDF format for sending out on e-mails etc., the pc's are running Microsoft Office 2007. Although it works, each of the jpegs contained in the header and footer have thin ghost black lines round them local to the image.
We are running Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) on the pc's and mac.
This does not happen in Word 2003 or 2010 or on an apple mac?
Why does it happen with Office 2007?
Another point is that the word template letter document is circa 3Mb. When I convert it on the 2007 pc it provides a sensibly sized 160kb PDF but when I do the same on the Mac it is still 3Mb. Obviously in the short term I am having to use the mac and accept larger file size to achieve a clean page but I need to get this all sorted out.
Can anyone help out there?
Many thanks.

***** Actually, girls and guys I think I have found the problem!!!!!
It's not just pictures that can cause the "Cannot Save File" message it's also fonts.
We were using Myriad Pro in all our Case Studies and up until a certain date 2 months ago it was great all could be printed and there were no problems. Then for some reason - and I have since discovered the font Myriad Pro has a licensing issue on our PC's - all our Case Study templates were unable to be converted and we were having issues all over the place.
I went through the advice contained in these posts (and also onb the Adobe website) and removed images one by one to see what was actually causing the problem. Nothing, no result the issues still existed. Then I hit upon the idea of changing the font to Arial and BINGO!!! it worked!!!! So, my advice is to ensure that your images are free from errors (whatever that means!) and you're using fonts that have no licensing issues and Publisher will be able to convert them no problems.
Now, as for the advice Microsoft gave us...well I am as frustrated as everyone else is that we had to find the answers ourselves and MS couldn't have developed a tool that would pick up these issues for us in the document itself. C'mon Microsoft you make this great product - make it even better and give us better diagnostic tools please.
Oh and by the way, when I did the same document in InDesign (which was a pain in the a...) it handled the font issue no problems - explain that one Microsoft.

Importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign CS5.5 [Mac]

Has anyone had success importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign 5.5? I've read that this is possible, however, all my attempts have failed. I've checked that Track Changes is on in both InDesign and MS Word.
The one pattern with all the files I've attempted is that, by the time I receive the file, the author has already accepted all tracked changes. The comments remain, but they do not import into InDesign.
I have 'track changes' ticked on the import dialog.
Is there anything I'm missing? Tips from people who've done this successfully would be greatfully apprecated.

Hi BhSimonP,
Did you got any solution to this problem. I am having same requirement now.
Please help me with your answer.

Importing Microsoft Word doc to InDesign with embedded EPS art ~ scaling issue

Hi, my workflow calls for creating content in Microsoft Word 2010 with embedded EPS art, in this case MathType 6.7a math objects. When I import these manuscripts (after saving as Word 97/2003 format) into my Adobe InDesign CS5.5 templates, the embedded inline graphics have been resized. Strangely, InDesign is keeping the container frame at the correct dimensions and then upsizing or downsizing the art inside that box.
When I export a sample graphic from the Word file and unembed the same graphic after import it into InDesign, the two graphics are different sizes. InDesign might increase the size of one embedded graphic by 400% and then scale it down to 25% inside the anchored picture box and then in the next anchored picture box it might decrease the size the art to 50% and scale it to 200%.
I did a test and created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, saved it as EPS, placed the graphic into a Microsoft Word 2010 document, saved it out to 97/2003 format, imported that doc into an empty Adobe InDesign CS5.5 file. Again! InDesign changed the size of the art and re-scaled it to appear the same.
I've been able to duplicate this issue on InDesign CS4 also, on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know why the InDesign import filter doesn't import inline art in a Word document at 100%? Thanks for the help!

My solution for this is:
1. Place *.docx (yes, docx) word document with mathtype equations into indesign. This will set correct baseline for equations which is very important.
2. download this scalegraphics script http://in-tools.com/downloads/indesign/scripts/ScaleGraphics.zip
3. copy script from zip folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript
4. open palet (window/autoamtion/scripts) scripts, find new sript and run it
Voila, all equations is at 100%...
Script explanation: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/scale-graphics-script/
In links palete equations have eps extension but this is embeded wmf files so you cant open them in photoshop or distill it with distiller.-((( I use export to pdf option in indesign to make pdf file.
If you want all this eps links to export from indesign use this method:
1. in links palete select all links
2. in palete menu choose "unembed link"
3. on answer window choose "no"
4. select folder where you want indesign save files
5. press "select"
6. now you have all links in new folder unembed from indesign document and you can edit it with mathtype.

Best way to import Microsoft Word text?

Newbie question. I've been importing Microsoft Word text just using the clipboard. That is, I'll open Microsoft Word, open my document, select all, copy, and then go to InDesign and paste. InDesign gives me a text block with my text and I just re-size the columns. The text comes in all weird and I have to stylize it, of course. Sometimes I get some junk like nonbreaking characters and other hidden characters which screw me up until I figure out what's going on. My question is: what's the best way to import Microsoft Word text that will introduce the fewest errors? Thanks.

How do I keep leading when importing a Microsoft Word document to indesign?

I have a long document in Word that has some simple styles applied to it (a few colors and different fonts) but when I try to place it in my indesign file, the leading changes. Everything else stays the same. Any idea why it changes? I thought leading is one attribute that's supposed to import if I have "preserve styles and formatting for text" setting checked in indesign...
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using Mac OS 10.9 with Indesign CS6 and Microsoft Word 2011

Migintosh, I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is my problem. I seems when I place the file, indesign in automatically changing those values. Is there a way to force indesign keep those at 0 (or whatever value I want) as I place the text? Right now, what happens is I place the text and then have to select all and manually set the before and after to 0 since indesign decides to change the after spacing to 0.1389.

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 Microsoft word documents that already have paragraph styles

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months, this was taught to me many months ago but for some odd reason when I tried it myself it didn't work . I have my paragraph styles all set up in my indesign document. I have to import text that another person is giving me. The document that this person is giving me is a Microsoft word document. Someone showed me that you can customize the document in microsoft word, with styles for example: Selecting a part of text and customizing it (making it big and bold for example), then naming that style Heading, and then doing the same for lets say...a subheading. Well after you save the document (the microsoft word document), you are able to import the word document into your indesign file and it's supposed to override the styles from Microsoft Word and customize itself with your own paragraph or character styles that you already have in your indesign document, as long as the name of the styles are the same as the ones you had in microsoft word(which in this case would be heading and subheading). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Convert Word styles to InDesign styles
Here's the info you need. I found it in the InDesign Help section. I needed it, too. The "Show Import Options" is a little box in the lower left hand corner of the screen that comes up when you choose the file you want to place in InDesign. It's easy to miss.
While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.
Do one of the following:
To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-click the Word document.
To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.
Select Preserve Styles and Formatting From Text and Tables.
Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the following options:
If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.
If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.
Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

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.
