Links to Word template from Reader X

I have setup pdf document with links to Microsoft Word templates. They were working correctly in Reader 9 and they are working correctly when opened from Acrobat X Professional but when I open pdf file in Reader X the do not work. In Acrobat Pro clicking on link opens window which shows the name of the template i.e. sample.net. In Reader X it is showing the path to Winword.exe. Template is opened but macros are blocked. Can I modify some settings of the Reader X to have it working properly as it does in Acrobat Pro ?
Thanks for help.
Tony

If it worked before but doesn't work after you "upgraded" then, you upgraded the wrong thing.
You "may" have had Adobe Acrobat before but now you have Adobe Reader which cannot do what you want.
Look around in your program files. Reader should not have removed Acrobat if that's indeed what you were using.

Making Word template from DW code

I know, I know, Office products are evil but bare with me. I work in a corporate setting and the CEO has asked that I create Word templates from the html email templates that I created for internal communications. The idea from the begining was that each support group would communicate to the internal masses via a custom email format (attached) instead of simply shooting out a standard email. The problem is, I have become the guy who has to format everyone's email since they can't code. I have better things to do.
My question:
In an effort to make this process as easy as composing an email, we thought about putting the html frame work into Word as a template and keep the main content area open for modification from the various users. How do i do this? I figure it can be done somehow since most of the junk email i get these days has some reference to MS Word within its code.
Can anyone provide any direction?
Thanks.
David

The best thing to do in your case is save the HTML in DW and then open the document in Word. Word can open and edit .html documents with minor issues (if you send emails to Outlook 2007 you are aware of the quirks, if not --> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338200.aspx , read that article and get the DW plugin to validate pages).
Then just save the document as a .dotx (if you have 2007 this is better because file sizes are smaller and there are more options available to an end-user).
After that you should be set to go.

Links to Word Templates

I am trying to create links to Word templates but when
someone clicks on them they become documents instead of the *.dot.
I checked and someone said that the web server needed to be
configured to have a MIME type assignment for *.dot files as
"application/msword"? Are we supposed to do this in Dreamweaver,
and if so how do I do it?

MIME types are added to the server. How to do this depends on
your server.

Converting Word Templates from 2003 to 2013 Version

Hello. I work at a school environment and most of our secretaries had been running Office 2003. They have a lot of Word templates. Recently, as we have decided to upgrade Office to 2013, we have the problem of hundreds of old templates
that need to be converted over to the 2013 version.
Is there a quick and efficient way to do this? Instead of manual converting each file, one by one.
Thanks in advance!

In addition to the answer of Edward I would add the following line of code:
Sub Convert2003To2013()
' Convert2003To2013 Macro
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDoc As Document
strFolder = "D:\Sample\OfficeDev\Word\OldFolder"
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
If InStrRev(strFile, ".docx") = 0 Then
Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
wdDoc.Convert
wdDoc.SaveAs2 FileName:=strFolder & "\" & Left(strFile, InStrRev(strFile, ".doc")) & "docx", _
Fileformat:=wdFormatXMLDocument, AddToRecentFiles:=False
wdDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I added the wdDoc.Convert because otherwise you are not explicitly converting documents but only renaming them to .docx
The additional functionality of Office 2013 comes available when the document is actually converted. You can test this by opening the document after het has been really converted, you should be able to see the SmartArt options. If you only rename them to
.docx you will see that the 'new' smart art functionality is not available.
Doesn't mean that the provided code block by Edward doesn't work, it does a great job. My advice would be to add the convert line if you really want 'converted' files.
Last thing you have to think about is these code snippets use SaveAs2, that means that you will get two instances of your document. If you choose convert you are actually converting the original document. In that case you do not choose SaveAs2
but you use Save.

Word Templates from WebFolders

A user reports:
If you try to open a template (Word) from iFS web folder it says that the template doesn't exist.
Any way to correct this?

How to restore word template from a document library

Is there any possibilty to find the template directly in the file system? I have an older version of the file system, so if I would know the place where the templates would be saved, I will be able to get this template back.

Document templates are stored in the default site resource location http://Server Name/Site/Document Library Name /Forms/Content Type Name/ or a resource list of library set up specifically the for document templates. The URL can be relative
to a location on the site or the resource folder. For example, a URL relative to the site would be <Server Name>/Site/Library Name/Forms/Docname.doc, and a URL relative to the resource folder would be simply Docname.doc.

MS word templates free text referenced gets cut

Hello Experts,
CRM 5.0
We have a scenario where we have implemented a custom BADI to add attributes in the list of fields that can be pulled into MS word templates from an order object in CRM. Some of the free text areas are also being referenced in the MS word templates. However only the first 128 characters from the free text area get pulled into the MS word template. The BADI does not seem to put this limit as in debugging, we can see all the text being referenced but on the front end only 128 characters flow through. Can someone please suggest a solution around this?
Thanks & regards

It is a character encoding issue. This is a big topic, but
there is
plenty written up about it. You probably want to configure
your
application use use window-1252 or unicode encoding format.
You will
want to make sure the entire system running the application
is talking
the same encoding, database web server and ColdFusion.

Server based Office 2013 - where do I save word templates on the server for all users to access from "New"?

Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm used to working with stand alone desktop MS Office products.
We have a server connected to six desktop work stations. All stations have access to Microsoft Office 2013 on the server, and the printer is linked through
the server.
Users are currently accessing Word doc Documents on the shared (p) drive as templates, and then saving them with relevant file names to their area on the
(p).
Surely there is a way to save Word templates to the server, so that when someone clicks on "New" in Word our own templates are also offered automatically?
Thanks
Mark

If
anyone knows the address
for where Microsoft stores the main default templates - then that would
be really useful? It would also allow us to get rid of the numerous templates that we would never use.
Thanks :)

Opening Word document templates from the New Document drop down does not open Word

I have a document library with a number of Content Types attached to it. Each one has a different Word document attached. We have an intermittent problem where when you click to open one of these templates from the 'New Document' drop
down list that nothing happens. The workaround appears to be either open Word first or re-boot the computer. I think there is a problem with SharePoint not linking in with Word correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Hi J,
Can you please check in your internet explorer whether MS office Add ons enable or not.
If not enable that and restart your browser and try again.
Also try to repair MS Office if issue still persist.

Fill MS Word Document Template from ABAP

Hello friends.
I have a problem here, i wonder if you can help me. Here's my scenario...
I have a MS Word template Document, like say a letter, with bookmarks on it. These bookmarks are the actual fields to be filled.
What i would like to do is have an ABAP program that reads data from SAP and opens the template and fills the bookmarks with the information retrieved. Basicallyis one thing like we do with Mail Merge in MS Word.
Does anyone have any idea of how to make this?
Thank you
Ricardo Monteiro

Try this:
method insert_text_at_bookmark.
*--- check if bookmark exists
    get property of gs_actdoc 'Bookmarks' = gs_bookmarks.
    call method of gs_bookmarks 'Exists'
      exporting
        #1 = '<<your_bookmark_name>>'.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
*--- getting handle for bookmarks
      get property of gs_actdoc 'Bookmarks' = gs_bookmarks
        exporting
          #1 = '<<your_bookmark_name>>'.
*--- getting handle for range of bookmark
      get property of gs_bookmarks 'Range' = gs_range.
*--- insert text at bookmark
      call method of gs_range 'InsertAfter'
        exporting
          #1 = '<<your_text_at_bookmark>>'.
endmethod.
All you have to give to the method is the name of the bookmark in MS word and the text you want to print. I specially take a internal table of two fields (name and value) and fill it in another method and pass it to this method.

Can I print avery address labels from a word template on my MX922 and if so where do I load them?

Just bought a Pixma MX922 and was surprised that I can't find any instructions for printing avery mailing labels from my Christmas list word template. I was able to do this on my MP560 which just died, but it had a separate place to feed avery labels into the printer. This is a Canon question and not an Avery question.

Hello. If your current sheets were able to be used with the MP560, you should be able to use them with the MX922. Please load the sheets in the lower cassette tray. Ensure that the side you are printing on will be facing down before printing. This didn't answer your question or issue? Find more help at Contact Us.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Open portal from a link in Word

Hello,
I currently have a strange issue.
First the scenario: I have a SP17 portal, inside the portal I have an ITS (6.20) iView running an EWT. Inside this EWT I have the option to click a button which opens a Word document in a new Window. Inside this Word document I have a link that links back to the portal looking something like: http://portal.domain.com:50000/irj/portal?navigationtarget=...
So basically I have 3 windows:
1. Original portal window
2. Word opened from portal and hence runs in the same session
3. New window showing new portal content and also runs in same session
All these three windows runs in the same session and hence share the same MYSAPSSO2 cookie.
If I do this on a computer with Office 2000, clicking the link in Word just opens a new window and showing what I want in the portal. With the same user in window 3 as in window 1.
If I use Office 2003, the portal presents the user with a portal logon page. But now the strange things happens. If the user presses F5 in this new window (window 3) the user gets directly access to the content, as supposed.
How do I get rid of this annoying and unnessecary logon page? Usermanagement is pretty much left as default, and all iViews and roles uses the "default" authentication scheme.
Best regards,
Thomas Mouritsen

Hi Thomas,
At least this kind of issues with office documents has a long history. Even if the exact scenario you are describing is not listed, check out SAP note 549610 - maybe it helps also in your case.
Another approach to understand what happens is to use some tool like HTTPWatch to see what's the difference between the first and the second (refreshing) request to window 3.
Anyhow, I wouldn't wonder if that helps to understand the problem - but not to solve it. But in this case, just open an OSS message with your gathered knowledge about the issue and maybe the note given above will be extended...
Hope it helps
Detlev
