Importing text document?

I am attempting to import a text document into iMovie, to transition from a person to the document. I have tried dropping in a pdf and also a jpg. The resolution in the movie looks terrible. Any tips or tricks on how to import a text document that looks ok?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the answers so far... I had originally intended to save the person speaking in quicktime format. I wanted to add the images in between the clips of the speaker. I figured iMovie was the way to go.
I guess basically like a newscast, I will have commentary and video by a live person, then while they are still speaking it will show the paperwork with the areas of interest circled, then go back to the video of the person speaking.
Is this more of an application for keynote? I wanted the final product to be stand alone so people can view it from our company server. (computer viewing only)
thanks!

Import text document as layer?

Is there a way to import/open a text document (ie. .doc, txt, html, etc) into photoshop, which will retain the text layer?
I know it’s possible to simply copy and paste text from a Word document into a PS text layer, but can this be done through a script?
Any ideas how to achieve this?
thanks
jeff

Thanks for the response
Not a programmer myself to use Bridge Talk, But I like the idea of utilizing smart objects as a means for integrating between programs.
Currently I’m copying/pasting word text into a PS text layer, (which reformats this to the PS settings (which is great))… and, this works quite seamlessly, I was curious to see if this could or had been implemented as an import script.
Thanks.

Setting chapter and sections after importing text document?

I imported a 120-page Word document in Author. The original was 10 chapters and related sections. It came in as a single long chapter. Now I want to manually select a page and set it to be chapter 2, chapter 3, etc., and likewise for selecting a page and setting it to section 2-1, section 2-2, etc.
I can't see how to do this. Adding a chapter always puts it at the end of my 120 pages. If I insert a blank page, I can't set it to be a chapter or section.
Am I missing something, or am I using an incorrect workflow?
Any advice gratefully received.

To view it in an acceptable format, yes. You can try using an opensource program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice and see if it yields better results. However, I'm sure if it would be compatible with a document made with word processing software from 9 years ago, but I would certainly give it a try.

How can I import text from Word including paragraph indents?

I'm using Captivate 7.
I need to import text from a series of documents written in Microsoft Word.
When I copy and paste most of the formatting is retained. Bold, italics and underline import perfectly but I lose the indented paragraphs. They all become left aligned.
Is there a way to import the indented first lines in the paragraphs?
Thanks in advance.

Lilybiri, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Life sometimes interferes with living.
Thanks for sharing your opinions. Your deep and penetrating insights have changed my life forever. As in: "...that people expect ..." Gee; I've pondered that for years. Now that you've opened my eyes to "what people expect" I can let that go and concentrate on something else. Like, is cheese REALLY binding?
With your helpful and concerned attitude I'm sure you'll be glad to know that my problem has been solved. Not by anything from Adobe; the company or the forum, but by simply finding another program that works as it should.
By the way, I marked my own answer correct as it was clear that there is no answer and I just wanted to close the thread. Actually, after I reread what I said, I realized my answer IS correct. So, I'll stand by it.
Thanks again, it's been interesting.
So long Lilybiri, and good-bye Adobe Captivate.

Sending a text document as pdf by email.

Hi,
I have a plain text document that needs to be send as a pdf document by email. The line type of the text document is PC408-linda, which is 132-character length. I am trying to use the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending the document which uses structure SOLISTI1 for sending the document. The line size of SOLISTI1 is 256 characters. I tried to send 132-character length internal table instead of the given structure for the FM, it didnt work. Later, I put the 132-charcter line into the 256-character length line, which works well. But, I have a problem when the outgoing system converts the 256-character length into pdf document. It breaks the line.
Can you please suggest me how can I fit this 132-chracter line in the above FM or Is there any alaternateive FM for sending this 132-character lines, which will fit in the pdf format.

After importing word document in RH 9, why does the position of image changes

Hi All,
I have a document which i need to import in RH9. However when i imported the document, the position of the images on my first page changed.
i read several discussion, but could nt get any relevant suggestion.
the first page of my document has company logo and a text box on its left but when i am importing, the image is displayed separately and text box is displayed after the image. the first page is my cover page thats the reason it has text box.
Now can anyone please tell me how i can club the text box and image on a single htm.Robohelp also converts the text box and its data to an image format.
Thanks for your time and consideration

Hi there
As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
Cheers... Rick

InDesign erroneously applies character style to imported text

For a year, I had been importing text into InDesign with little trouble until this problem starting happening and I can't figure out why.
Let's say I have a CS3 file with defined character and paragraph styles.
If I draw an empty text box, InDesign shows the character style "superscript" and paragraph style "ext_all" are applied. I can select "Break Link to Style," but if I import text into that box, the "superscript" character style is applied.
The following happens whether I create a text box first or not:
If I import a styled Word file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a Word character style.
If I import an InDesign Tagged Text file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a character tag.
If I import a very simple one sentence rtf file, all the text is styled "superscript."
Anyone run into this? I've tried googling, but can't find a discussion about it. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps you've inadvertently set those styles as the defaults? That would happen if you click on them with nothing selected. For the current document switch to the text tool and make sure there is no cursor active or text frame selected, then check to see that the character style is set to [None] and the paragraph style to what you would like to be your default. Also check the settings in the character and paragraph panels.
To make sure this doesn't carry forward into any more new documents, if indeed that was the problem, close all documents and repeat the above steps. With no documents open your selections will become the defaults for all new work until changed.

Trouble with CHM Search & Index after Importing Word Document

Greetings,
I have recently inherited all things RoboHelp at work, but the last person to work with our projects left 6 months ago. I received a brief overview of how our CHM files were generated from the same word document in RH HTML 7.
Currently, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9, but am having trouble with the Index and Search functionality from an imported Word 2003 (.doc) file. During my import, only a single topic is created and named after the source document. I believe this may be the root of my problems, but haven't had much luck with a solution.
I have stumbled my way through setting after setting, but feel I am missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
Background:
Our source documents have a working TOC and Heading 1-3 structure. When creating a new project and importing the document, the TOC is imported correctly. The TOC navigations links seem to function correctly.
I have used the Smart Index Wizard to find new keywords from topic titles and topic text. Unfortunately it seems the import only creates a single topic named after the source word document and therefore associates all keywords with the single topic. when trying to navigate the index after the CHM is generated, all links simply reference the beginning of the document.
When using the search feature in the CHM, only a single result is returned for any search words. This result is always the single topic as described above. The results link always returns you to the start of the document but does highlight the keyword throughout the document.

When you import there is an Advanced button in one of the dialogs. Click that and you will be able to Paginate against chosen styles. That will break your document into topics.

Importing word documents - but losing all images which was in it

Hi,
I am fairly new to Robohelp and recently got hold of Robohelp 8.
I have already written a Help File for my company's recent product, and the help file was in word 2007 with a lot of screenshots of icons, buttons and dialog boxes pasted in it.
On importing the word document to Robohelp, none of these images are being imported and I cannot see any of them in the project view.
I wanted to use the link to word document feature so that i do not have to keep re-importing the document for any changes made - however, because the images are not being imported, i now have to add them manually to the project.
1 - this is tiring and very time consuming
2 - the project files to which i add the pictures are no longer updated from the word document if any of the text changes as the project is preserving the changes i made to the file (which was only adding the image manually). Kind of defeat the purpose of link to the word document.
HELP
I would really appreciate any help in
1 - How to import a word document containing images (screenshots, icons etc) without losing the images
2 - Keep the word document to update the project even after i add any images to the project manually.
Thanks
Nivekz

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.

Importing text from word into indesign3

I am importing text from a word document that has lots of footnotes in it into an indesign3 file - I need to keep some of the formatting from the word document i.e italics and tabs however I need to be able to edit and reposition the 'word' footnotes within indesign - I don't seem to be able to do this without turning off the footnotes editing completely before importing? Is there a way around this?

Word is wordprocessor. iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
Copy/pasting formatted text always has unexpected results.
To overcome that, save your Word document as a html file.
Open it in a browser and then copy/paste the text.
iWeb will retain the formatting.
And Lion is an operating system. Just like a Mercedes is a car. Neither has anything to do with your problem.

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.

Importing Text Files into Notes

Having trouble reading imported text. I have IPod nano 3rd gen. It is checked to enable disc use. When I drop a .txt file into notes folder, then eject IPod, I can see the document titles in IPod/notes however, text displays as code (alot of 0's &1's and other garbled letters). Does anyone know why this happens and how I can solve this? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

The files MUST be plain text files (possible sich text format as well) but not Word Documents and stuff like that. Simply taking a Word document and changing the extension from .doc to .txt won't do it for you, if that is what you tried.
