MS Word 2007 form fill in

I have a document in MS Word 2007 that is a fillable form. I want to save it to Adobe Pro and retain the form fill in capabilities. I just downloaded ADOBE Premier Pro. I would like instructions on how to do this. Thanks.

I moved this thread to the Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum.
Depending on how the word document is formated I believe Adobe Acrobat Professional maybe able to detect it as a form. You can try the trial at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en. For more information on Adobe Acrobat Professional please see https://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.

Import Word 2007 Form check boxes undefined

Any one have any idea on how to get the forms wizard to import the field property names for check boxes in an Adobe form?
I have a Word 2007 form which I have tried saving as a .doc, .dot, dotm, .docx and no matter what format I choose, I cannot get the check box fields to import. I used the legacy checkbox field under the developer ribbon in Word 2007 to create the check boxes. I have tried to import with protection on the word form enabled and stopped but it doesn't make a difference. The check box fields come across fine but the name and the text fields both say undefined rather then display the field name given in Word. I am using Adobe 9 pro. I have checked my Adobe preferences in Word and made sure all the boxes were checked for converting bookmarks but it still did not make a difference. The text fields are importing fine with the property field names.
Here is an example:
I have a yes check box that is labeled StorageY and a no checkbox labeled StorageN for the properties in Word. I then went to the form wizard in Adobe 9 and selected start with existing form and selected the fillable word form I created with the check boxes. I imported it and the check box properties say Undefined for both storageY and storageN. There are about 60 check boxes in the document and I don't want to retype them every time in Adobe when the word form is updated and has to be conveted again.
I sure hope there is a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information but I respectfully disagree with "there is no import". If you open Adobe Acrobat
9 pro and go to Forms, Start Forms Wizard, select An Existing electronic document and click on Next. Select "import" a file from file system and browse for the word document and click on Next.
Using this method not only runs the automatic field recognition you were referring to, it also brings in all the word form field text and formats with the exception of the check boxes. My only guess is the problem has something to do specifically with the check box fields as it does bring over the radio button text. A lot less work to keep the form updated. It rocks. You should try it some time.
Word 2007 pdf writer does the same thing as the openoffice.org but neither bring across the form field info. They just create a starting point and you would have to use the method you described above to create the fillable form.

Could not convert Word 2007 form

I'm running Acrobat 11 (up to date). When I try and convert a Word 2007 form to an Acrobat form, I get the message: Acrobat could not create new PDF form"

The Word conversion to PDF and Forms Wizard do not detect and do not know how to complete a drop down box. I do not even create the form fields in Word as there is no transfer to the PDF. I also find the Wizard lacking in proper naming and grouping. It is just easier and more efficient to add the fields manually or with JavaScript tools.
The only product that can do this is apache OpenOffice when an author creates the from body and form fields in the Writer application and then exports to a PDF.

Convert Word 2007 Form to PDF Form not creating dropdown list fields

I created a new word document with all my text fields with lines and 5 dropdown list fields with all their values. Works great in Word 2007. When I convert it to a pdf form (Acrobat Pro X) none of the dropdown list fields get created. The text fields do, but no drop downs. If I have to create them all manually in Acrobat, what's the point of doing all the work in Word?

Auto-Detect Form Fields from Word 2007

LiveCycle 8.x fails to detect form fields from form documents I've created in Word 2007. I also notice that Word 2007 documents saved as Word 2003 documents do not convert the text fields either (text fields static).
Is LiveCycle 8.x compatible with Office 2007 or does it depend on the conversion from 2007 (.docx format) to 2003 (.doc format) before creating the PDF then detecting and placing the fields?

I could tell it not to run in Acrobat 9 but can’t figure out how to do that in version 11. When I use the Create Form command, I get a series of windows that guide me through the process of creating the form. Unlike Acrobat 9, none of those windows includes an option for not running auto detect. At the end of the process, the form is created with fields. The only solution seems to be to let Acrobat create the fields, and then delete them all and manually create the fields I want. Thanks for your feedback.

Writable PDF created with word 2007

Hello. My company created a PDF file from word 2007 in wich is possible to write. Form my PC (with adobe ten version, but even with the oldest version) is possible to write in, but not with my IOS version. A few month ago I try to use the with my Iphone and it was possible to write in the PDF file. Now I bougth an Ipad mini and it's not possible to write in with it an with Iphone too. Someone know why?!
Thank you!

quoque,
Thank you for sharing the PDF form with us.
I took a look at the PDF form in Adobe Reader for iOS and found out that it is protected, as indicated by the lock icon in the bottom bar.
The following is the screenshot of the Document Properties dialog (shown in the desktop version of Acrobat/Reader).
Your company's PDF form contains document restrictions with password security. (Only those who know the password can change the document restrictions of the PDF form.)
The dialog shows that the PDF form allows "Filling of form fields". However, if you add any document restrictions to a PDF document, the document will be encrypted for protection.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, etc.) do not support any changes to encrypted documents yet. That is the reason why you cannot fill out the form. It is a limitation in Reader mobile products. (There's nothing wrong with the PDF form itself.)
If you would like to make the PDF form "fillable" in Adobe Reader mobile products (as well as desktop products), you could remove the document restrictions and password security or regenerate a new PDF form from MS Word without setting any restrictions. But I am not sure if it is a feasible solution for your company.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Attaching Word 2007 documents

How can I attach a Word 2007 document (a form to be filled out) in a Robo 9 topic? (I don't want to import and turn the form into topics.)

Have you tested that the user can fill in the form and keep it or send it to you, according to what is required?

Exporting acrobat fields into Word 2007

Hi all,
I have a client who had an adobe document on his website which user fill out and then submit using Outlook. He now wants to create a form letter (in Word 2007) by using the data that the users submitted on the acrobat document.
In a nutshell, I have to export the adobe fields into Word. Being a total novice, I don't even know if this is possible?
I am thinking along the lines of some sort of a mail merge.
Thanks in advance.

Have you exported in the various formats and examined the created file?
FDF and XFDF are special formats for Acrobat forms.
Text is a text with tab delimited. The field names comprise the first row and each form's data is then listed under the first row in the same order as the field names in row one.

Adobe does not recognize footers in Microsoft Word 2007 to PDF

I have copied and pasted the details, below, from a previous message I have sent out to an assistive technology listserv.
I am encountering this problem with various builds and versions of Adobe Acrobat:
Acrobat X on a Windows Vista 64-bit build (note that this is the best Acrobat I can install on Windows Vista, Adobe Reader XI is not even supported)
Acrobat X on a Windows XP build, sorry, do not know the bit count (it is my work computer so I can't upgrade anything)
Acrobat 9 on a Windows 7 64-bit build.
I have also encountered and checked into whether or not the PDF reads (and does what I want it to) in JAWS 14, latest update (Feb 2013). We encounter the same problem with JAWS and this morning found out that there is a conversion error between Word and Adobe. (See this post, where the ---- are).
Summary, I have spoken with JAWS, put out a support ticket with NVDA via e-mail, spoken with Microsoft, and tried to communicate with Adobe about this issue for help and Adobe is refusing to help. The other places tried everything they knew but they could not get it to work. I even tried to strip all the page numbers from Word and number using Adobe's page numbering feature, but that was not successful either because I cannot use Roman numerals.
I would appreciate any feedback the Adobe Forums can give me; please note that I cannot post a sample document at this time as the only document I have is a private work document (cannot share those by policy, so I will have to make up a fake document if I get the time and energy).
Thank you very much for your time and expertise. The pertient info is above and below in "Original Message" and "Activities section" - the other information is there if you'd like to look. And to provide feedback to Adobe about things I think they could improve, since they will not let me email them directly.
----Original Message----
My question concerns the reading of Footers / Headers in Microsoft Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat (headers/footers designed in Microsoft Word 2007 and then converted to PDF with "Bookmark" checked in Adobe Acrobat conversion settings).
The document is a word document containing 50+ pages. There are 12 pages of "front matter" that are marked with Roman numerals. Subsequently, the body text of the document has an Arabic number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) in the bottom right corner. Footers are used properly in the document. All Table of Contents links, which do link to both headings in the "front matter" and to headings in the body text, are picked up properly. Literately, the only thing not reading on the document are page numbers (the Word Status bar is reading its page numbers, but the page numbers in the footer are not reading).
I then need to convert the document to Adobe Acrobat PDF. Granted, I have a full copy of Adobe Acrobat X available to me, and my various assistive technologies have always functioned better when opened directly in Acrobat (rather than Adobe Reader). So, I set the accessibility options (from Word) properly, asking it to bookmark Headers and Footers as appropriate, thinking that this will pick up the page numbers and make them read as the bottom right corner of my PDF.
All links work in Adobe to navigate by section/heading. All figures are alt tagged. Everything is perfect - but the one thing that NVDA won't read are the page numbers. Visually, the page numbers are there on the document, but NVDA won't pick them up. Additionally, I also changed the appropriate page numbers in Adobe (Page Thumbnail Pane, on the Navigation Pane I believe it is called) - to reflect the section where it is Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. This did not help, and for what it is worth, I cannot get NVDA to voice when I am in this pane, so I don't seem to have a chance of getting the page number info from there.
NVDA reads the document just fine except for the above-mentioned snare. However, when it reads, it will go to the next page, and say, "Page 2 of 54, (page text), Page 3 of 54 (page text)," etc. when I will need it to say Page ii of 54 (page text), Page iii of 54 (page text)," and so on, changing to "Page 1" when the Arabic numbers are used.
I know that the Page Label issue is part of Adobe's issue, with them not releasing the PageLabel aspect. (I have looked through some NVDA tickets). I do not know how to put a "changeset" into my copy of NVDA though, or even if it would help (I have no computer scripting skill). The easy answer would be to upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and see if that helps, but I don't have the ability to put it on every computer I use, and *I need this file to read consistently across multiple versions of Adobe* (including Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9, X, and XI). (This file is also going out to people who may not have the latest version of Adobe, but are also running some copy of NVDA, either a portable or a full install).
Is there any way to pick up the Footers with page numbers voicing in NVDA, and/or have it read the user-editable page number box that is on Adobe's Toolbar (next to the 1 of 54 parentheses). This user-editable box, to jump to page numbers, reflects the Roman numerals I have loaded into the pages of Adobe. When I press Ctrl+Shift+N in Adobe, I can also go to the appropriate page (if I type in iii, it will take me to iii, if I type in 34, it will take me to the Arabic number 34 -- NOT the 34 of 54, which would land me on a different page. And I want to land on the page that has the Arabic 34, so that's functioning fine.
I just need the page numbers in the footer to voice, "Page iii," or "Page iv," or "Page 29," etc. If I could get NVDA to do that, I could say to viewers of this document, "If you are using NVDA, remember to Ctrl+Shift+N to get the GoTo Box, then type in the page number you want if you cannot follow a link or a bookmark." This document is *very* accessible in my opinion with lots of ways to navigate...the only aspect of navigation that isn't being picked up are those footer page numbers!
I do have my Document Formatting settings on the NVDA menu set to "Report Headers," but that does not seem to help in either Microsoft Word 2007 or Adobe Acrobat. I have even switched the page numbers from the footer to the header to see if that would help and it didn't.
----Activities I have done today----
I spent over an hour on the phone today with Freedom Scientific (makers of JAWS) trying to troubleshoot this. We discovered that Footers will not read very well in JAWS and Microsoft Word 2007 (only solution is to stop reading document text and read Virtual Viewer text briefly, then go back out to document text, then back into Virtual Viewer which is NOT an acceptable or accessible solution whatsoever -- too much work for someone trying to read the document) -- and then we also discovered that:
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to .txt file (.docx to .txt), there are no alt tags for the figures in the document, or page numbers.
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat X then to .txt file, every insert of a page number and footer is replaced with the same alt numberpad numerical code: the one that generates female. ♀No wonder JAWS and NVDA are skipping this, neither understand how to communicate it.
On the advice of JAWS Technical Support I contacted Microsoft Accessibility Technical Support and spent an hour on the phone with them. They say that unless Adobe can find a solution, it appears that it is impossible for Microsoft products to read the footer if JAWS was unsuccessful doing what I wanted it to do. The document/footer in question includes about 12 pages of front matter (numbered in Roman numerals) and 44 pages of body text (numbered in Arabic numerals).
I kindly explained to the Microsoft Support Agent that I found this issue hard to believe, although I understood. Sighted folks have the ability to make their documents look quite professional and that is the caliber and quality of documents anticipated from everyone, especially college students graduating from school, or job applicants. That a coding issue prevents the footer from being read properly, except in Edit view, is disappointing. The representative was with me 100% of the way. She completely understood where I came from. And yes, when I am designing the document myself, I know what I put there (or I pretty much do, anyway). But if I recieve a document, it is much harder to tell what is really there or not, or how the page numbers really lay. And this is confusing as heck, believe me.
I then called Adobe Technical Support, after having a brief online chat with them. Granted, I had to leave the chat in the middle because I got interuptted by something that was high-priority, but the woman chatting from Adobe says that chat is only for installation issues, and I will have to pay to open a support ticket. Excuse me? I have paid a hefty sum of money for Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Acrobat X (work paid for the other Acrobat X copy). I deserve this problem to be troubleshooted for free. There was even a statement on the Adobe Acrobat X website that said Acrobat X users didn't have to pay for support, but Reader users did.
----Slight bit of rant and constructive criticism----
In speaking with Adobe Technical Support, I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes before my call was answered, and then I had to consent to being on hold countless times and had to answer, "Yes, I am converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X" at least 6 times. The representative would put me on hold, then ask me the question, then put me on hold again, repeated 6 times over 45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes (1 hour and 20 minutes of wasted time by now, that I must justify to my employer) - I told the representative I wanted to speak with his supervisor immediately, I did not care if he was trying to fill out a support ticket (and putting me on hold at least 4 more times in 10 minutes while he claimed he was filling out the support ticket) - and finally he put me on hold again and gave me to a very helpful supervisor. Within 6 minutes of speaking with the supervisor the supervisor had my support ticket filled out and I should recieve a call from Adobe within the next 30 minutes if his estimation was right (he estimated two hours, but it's been an hour and a half).
I have yet to know what can be done about my document. Freedom Scientific Technical Support is closed now for the day and I need to work tomorrow and Friday away from the phone. As I stated to Microsoft Accessibility Support, I truly feel that Adobe should read the page footers, every document says that Adobe should be able to read the page footers, and I feel slighted that as a person who uses assistive technology, there is some glitch that isn't making this happen. I am not blaming a specific place per se, except I am a little frustrated with Adobe especially since they have not gotten back to me, and I am frustrated with their customer service. JAWS customer service and Microsoft customer service were both exemparly, and I cannot say enough good things about them. My wasted time with Adobe however, that was disrespect in my opinion. And I certainly will not pay to open a support ticket, and my workplace has a site license. They've paid enough already.
If you've read this far, thank you. I look forward to replies, or at least understanding. And if anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate it very much (yes, I have tried taking the page numbers off and using Adobe's page number feature, but that would not allow Roman numerals. Only Arabic.).

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
J

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software
I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

Word 2007 to Adobe 8 or Adobe 9 hyperlink conversion problems.

My company has about 40 Adobe Professional licenses.
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process. I have tried so many things like changing all the docx to pdf extensions in each of the links either manually or through ReplaceMagic product. I have moved all the 200 procedures into one directory instead of their separate sub directories. I have run document inspector to clean out all but the headers/footers. I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path. My project is an "Operations and Procedures Manual" with over 200 procedures that have tons of hyperlinks to each other and a directory of about 170 forms (they don't need to be part of the package...just referenced). The procedures we want to open up in pdf format so that they can be searched and cross referenced for terms like "flare" or "safety. The forms we want to remain in Word format for now. I have a table of contents that works great as far as the hyperlinks go when accessing from Word. We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner. The editing process we can tackle latter...it is this publishing process we need help on.
A side bar problem is that I found a procedure with a problem so I deleted it from the pdf package, went to Word and fixed it (accepted track changes). When I reinserted it back into the package in pdf form, it throws it to the top of my navigation panel instead of numerically with the 10's procedures. I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word. I have reopened the original documents, but can't see any difference between the ones that work and the ones that don't.
My current directory structure is
c:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\10's Administration
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\20's Compression
\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\Forms
The Table of Contents is in KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual.
We need to do edits on this so...the many hundreds of links need to stay in tact.
Any answers would really help me out and make my day..week..month. Thanks for any response.

A few ideas:
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process.
In Word, make sure your Adobe PDF conversion setting include Add Links. Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings > Settings tab, Application Settings area, check Add Links.
I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path......We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner.
In your example files, many of the links are pointing to your temporary directory. This will cause problems. You need to relink to the proper folder location. For this to work for other employees, the folder location must be accessible by all on the network.
I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
You can choose how your portfolio is initially sorted (screenshot.52).
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word.
This is often the result of images or document elements extending into the header and footer area. Check and correct this. You will likely see that it happens when printing to paper as well.

Changes to Normal.dotm in Word 2007

Hello,
I have created a new "Blank Template.dotm" which essentially is a blank document that prompts users to enter in document properties, etc. The template works fine in Word 2007 (Office 2007 SP3). The requirement is to make this document the normal.dotm;
default work template when opening.
What I have discovered is that when taking the "Blank Template.dotm" and renaming it to "normal.dotm" the same template does not work. A user is not prompted for the document properties and when printing, the headers and footers are filled
with document reference errors.
Additionally, when I say "prompted for the document properties" what I mean is the document properties feature in work;
Click on Word Ord | Prepare | Document Properties
Can anyone shed some light on this? I can share a copy of the template if required.
Thanks!

A basic problem is that it is virtually impossible for an ordinary person to create a template to substitute for the normal template in Word.
I'm not saying impossible; I am saying I would not try it. The normal template produced by Word has a number of components that are not part of other templates produced by Word. This was more true in earlier versions of Word but remains the case in the Ribbon
versions. See
Normal Template for more on this.
Is there any reason your code cannot be in a
Global Template other than the normal template?
The Add-Ins at http://addbalance.com/word/download/LetterheadAddin.zip gives an example of an Add-In that runs code whenever Word starts and whenever a new document is created.
In addition, there is an option in Word to prompt for these properties. Why not just reset that option?

Application.DisplayDocumentInformationPanel=True
If that is placed in an AutoExec macro in a global template it may do what you want.
Otherwise Jay Freedman provided the following macro which only acts on the first save:
Sub FileSave()
    ' Simulate the "Prompt for document properties" option of 2003.
    ' When the document is saved for the first time, open the
    ' Properties dialog.
    On Error Resume Next
    If Len(ActiveDocument.Path) > 0 Then
      ' The document has already been saved at least once.
      ' Just save and exit the macro.
      ActiveDocument.Save
      Exit Sub
    End If
    ' This is the first save. Show the dialog.
    Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show
    ' Now save.
    ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

Problem with the XML in Word 2007 (Word Template)

Hi Experts,
i am new on CRM 2007 and i have a problem with the XML Structure of the Word Template.
First i built a Web Service Design Tool. Then i saw on the Testpage, that it works.
So i started the Document Templates and created a new Template. Object Type was BUS2000126 - CRM Business Activity. Web Service was my created and tested Web Service Tool.
As i opened the Word 2007 with the XML-Structure, i recognized, that there was something wrong.
The Responce on my Testpage from the Web Service Tool had the following structure:
response (test.types.p1.CrmostZlaWord5ReadResponse)
   Output (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010RoszlaWord5001)
        ZlaWord5 (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtorder)
            Administrativeheaderoforder (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtorderhea001)
                 Partiesinvolvedofheader (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtheaderpa001)
                     Allpartiesinvolved (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtpartnera002[]) Displaying 3 elements of 3
                          element1 (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtpartnera002)
                               Btpartneraddress (test.types.p1.CrmostZla010Rosbtpartnera001)
My Problem is now, that the XML-Structure got not that point "element1".
Instead of "element1" there is the point "item" in my XML-Structure in Word 2007.
I guess that is the Problem why i am not getting the fields of the Btpartneraddress filled in my Word.
Can anyone help me? Or put me in the right direction that i can change the XML?
Thanks for your help
André

Hi andré, I guess the issue is coming from the fact that you selected "AllPartiesInvolved" and that may contain any numbers of entries. So when you test your webservice, you put a key and then get a result for that key, and in that case you might get "element1" until "element3" for example if there was 3 partners involved in you activity.
But, when you design your template, you don't have a key at that moment, so in the Web Service structure, you have "items" which stands for all the possible entries you might retrieve at runtime. I guess you could use an index in your template to specify which item you need, but this is quite hasardeous, so i would be you, I would not design my web service to use "AllPartiesInvolved" but rather a specific Partner type like contact person for instance.
Regards,
Xavier
