Multiple page word doc from single page template?

Hi,
I'm working on a system which needs to generate a detailed report of multiple findings, ideally in MS Word. Each finding would have a page in the report and the format of all of these would be identical. Is it possible to use a word template repeatedly in one document to do this? I've looked at the tutorial on using a word template and the labview toolkit but this assumes each datum to be inserted has a unique bookmark name in the document.
Thanks for any help
Mike

How are you going to insert the data into the template without using the bookmark names? The bookmarks indicate the location that the data is going to be inserted. You could create a template that is multiple pages long and on each page is an identical template, with bookmark names like "voltageinput1", "voltageoutput1" on page one, and "voltageinput2", "voltageoutput2" on page two, etc.
Alternately you could try using ActiveX for Word. You can use the Word Get ActiveX References.vi to gain access to the various objects that you can manipulate in ActiveX. You can do just about anything with ActiveX and Word, which makes it much more complicated as well.

CPU Usage - Generating Word Docs from RoboHelp X5

If you have generated a fair-sized document through RoboHelp,
and you are having problems with your CPU usage pegging out around
100%, bouncing up and down between 50% and 100%, the page
repainting as you scroll through the document, etc., this solution
is for you!
I am using RoboHelp X5 to generate large Word documents
(2003). This solution worked perfect for me. The problem is with
document corruption, apparently. After you have generated your Word
document and opened the document, be sure to display the paragraph
marks. You will probably see the “]” mark at or near
the end of the document. Select your entire document,
except for the final paragraph mark, making sure to exclude
this symbol, and copy everything else. Open a blank Word document
and paste this content into the new document.
You will now need to reattach your template (.dot) file for
the generated document through Tools/Templates and Addins:
1. Locate the applicable document template and attach it
(it's typically in the base generated project directory in RoboHelp
- .dot file). Click the OK button to save.
2. Return to Tools/Templates and Addins. Click the Organizer
button to display the Styles tab.
3. In the right-hand list (In Normal.dot), Close the
Normal.dot file
4. Open the same RoboHelp .dot template as you selected
previously.
4. Select all of the styles once they display in the right
pane and click the <<Copy button to copy them all over to the
document template. Confirm that you want to replace all styles in
the document.
5. Close the menu using the Close button. The dialog closes
and your styles should all be updated, if your styles were set up
appropriately via template and style sheet settings.
You may need to also adjust the Page Setup page width
settings, if necessary.
Good luck!

Peter:
Thank you for responding to me, as I may not have been clear
enough, and I apologize for that. I was trying to keep it short and
sweet. This problem started when I began using RoboHelp X5 this
year.
To clarify...
- I'm not concerned with CPU usage during document
generation, that is to be expected. The document will need to be
generated originally from a RoboHelp WebHelp project. This does not
change. The problem takes place AFTER you generate a large document
and then open it in MS Word.
- My documents are large, 140-500 pages. It took forever to
scroll through the Word document (RoboHelp-generated), the screen
kept repainting, and the CPU usage stuck fluctuating frequently
between 50% and 100%, not allowing me to do much else. Editing
those documents was a nightmare. Even if I shut down all other
programs.
- Something translates to the Word doc from RoboHelp that
maxes out the CPU usage, and I can't locate the exact culprit.
However, it appears to be tied to the faded "]" symbol at the end
of the document (there is a "[" at the beginning, too). So you have
to omit more than the last paragraph mark; that symbol also needs
to be left out.
- The "corruption" information came from Microsoft; it could
be something other than that, but this is what they said. I found
nothing that would help on the RoboHelp forum, so I went to
Microsoft to see if they had a solution. Apparently, this is a
common problem with Word 2003, but the articles didn't mention
RoboHelp in the issues. I tried this solution, adding the omission
of the "[" symbol, with complete success.
- When you copy the document without the last paragraph mark,
it will still include the headers/footers when you paste it
(although you may need to adjust them slightly). This is not the
problem.
- When a document is generated, you can select to use a MS
Word template, which I do. I fully use the style sheets in
RoboHelp, and they match my Word styles (template) to keep things
in sync. Actually, this Word template remains in the project; it is
not moved to the folder that holds your Normal.dot file. So the
link to the template in RoboHelp from your document does in fact
remain intact. However, you can copy that template to another
folder outside the project and link it from there, but it won't
matter.
- The Word template (.dot) needs to be reapplied in order to
restore your styles, as the Normal.dot styles are applied when you
copy the content over to a new document. It doesn't matter where
you store the template. I reapply this SAME template after I copy
and paste the content into the new document. This is not the cause
of the problem. Note: The application of a template is not the same
thing as going back to the master copy. This is still a fresh
document, with the content pasted in and the same template applied.
- I have tried deleting the local copy and starting over. I
have moved the file to another location. I have renamed or created
a 'save-as' copy of the file. I tried editing out any extra
un-necessary merge-tags in Word, looked for macros, etc. All of
these things do not resolve the CPU Usage problem.
I hope this makes more sense. You can try it out if you wish,
but you will need to do this with a large document and use the
Print View when looking at the document in Word. You'll have less
of a problem in Normal View, or with a smaller document (under 50
pages).
Good luck!

Word docs from pc to iPad

I can't figure out how to share a word doc from my pc to the iPad. I went through the steps in the manual but can't find the file share option they talk about in the app tab on iTunes. Any ideas?

Do you have Pages installed on your iPad? If not, I'm not sure that file transfer option will appear, though I'm not certain; perhaps someone else here can confirm or refute. If that is indeed the case, then you'll have to email the document to an account your iPad can pick up, or get Pages or one of the other iPad apps that supports Word docs and provides a file transfer capability.
Regards.

Importing Word docs from a RH for Word project

I have a HUGE RH for Word project that I'm trying to convert
to RHTML (RH Office X5). We generate CHM with this project, and
we've got map ids for all topics. I've been to Peter Grainge's site
to get some ideas, but I don't think they're going to work. There
are so many Word files and topics (537 and 2,974, respectively)
that the more I think about it, the more I think that a conversion
to RH HTML might not be worth it.
When I tried to import all of the Word documents and also
convert the TOC (converting the Index isn't an option since it
never worked with our large number of Word docs) and use the
HTMLHelp.css (using the Import wizard), RH HTML crashed twice after
40 minutes.
So, I created a new RH HTML project and tried to import just
one Word doc from the RH for Word project, and selected the same
wizard options. As I expected, the Word doc imported, but even
though I told RH to split the topics on Heading 2, it also copied
in the characters (#S+@) that preceded every topic heading and
incorporated them into the Topic Title. AND, RH HTML did not
"convert" the TOC - it was blank.
In another post I saw a reference to this patch -
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-10.html.
I'm not sure it's related, although when I examined my second
failed import attempt, the imported topics were visible in the
project folder only by using Windows Explorer - RoboHelp HTML did
not display them from within RoboHelp.
Does anyone know if this is the patch that will fix this
issue as well?
By the way, based on the number of questions I've seen posted
about RH for Word 7 with zero replies, I'm thinking I'm going to
run into issues as well, even if we leave it in RH for Word when we
upgrade to version 7. It seems that its size is an issue for RH
HTML.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
just as an encouragement: we sucessfully converted a HUGE RH
for Word project (4,300 topics) to RH HTML a while ago, including
TOC, index and everything. I must admit though that we had all
those topics in only 25 word documents. Maybe you can reduce the
number of documents by moving the topics? There will always be
problems you run into and afterward, we had to go through every
single topic and check the formatting, but I guess you'd always
have to do this. But I think it's worth it, working in HTML is so
much more convenient.
Good luck!

How to upload a Word doc from MacBook to iCloud?

How to upload a Word doc from MacBook to iCloud?

Just going to throw in again: iCloud is to keep's Apple's products on Apple's devices synced up between multiple devices. It isn't for sharing. It isn't for storage.
iCloud is the Apple-branded cloud (see the "i"). It isn't meant to be a completely free-of-charge realization of the future that all the tech people keep calling "the cloud."
It adds a lot of very nice functionality to Apple's own products, yet people are screaming their heads off about not getting free disk space and free bandwidth to use for whatever they want online. Apple added functionality, but tons of people seem to think they took away functionality. These things were never promised with iCloud.

Transferring word docs from vintage mac

Does anyone know how to transfer word docs from my old Mac plus (1985) to a modern Mac or other PC? Would a personal modem work such as was designed for the original machine?

ccconti,
The personal modem will work but my first modem on my first Mac Plus was 300 baud. That option would be painfully slow. Five years ago I met someone who was still using a Plus and modem to email to Germany from the USA. I wanted to document her software configuration but did not get back to it. I would go with standard methods.
Hopefully you acquired an external SCSI drive some where along the way. It will move files to a newer machine with ethernet. Ethernet will allow you go to the latest computers quickly. Another alternative is zip disks. The real key is finding someone with spare hardware. If you are willing to buy some used equipment, you can do it yourself.
Do you have access to a school or club that has old equipment? Post back with a list of computers/hard drives you have access to.

How do I get a MS Word doc from my mail's inbox to Pages so I can change it?

How do I get a MS Word (or MS Excel) doc from my mail inbox on the iPAD to the Pages (or Numbers) app so it can be changed or modified?

From the iPad manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) :
Open an attached file: Tap the attachment to download it to iPad and then open it. If iPad doesn’t support the format of an attached file, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it.
Open an attached file with a different app: Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app. If you don’t have any apps that can open the attachment, you can view it, provided it’s a file type that iPad supports.

This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect....opening Word docs from link in web page

It's the ahla.org website. It has both pdf files and Word docs. The pdf links open in the browser or Adobe but the Word doc links open the option at the bottom of IE11 that just says "Open" or "Cancel". When I choose
open, it gives the error about policy restrictions or something similar depending on if it's Word 2007 or 2013. If I could even find an option to have it "Save" and open after download that would be helpful. I can right click the link
and choose save as but this is an office full of attorneys and they can't find the download folder afterwards.
This isn't the issue with Chrome being installed/uninstalled because it does it on computers where it's never been installed. It's not a group policy setting as it does it at the office or home PC.

Hi,
ahla.org redirects to
https://www.healthlawyers.org/Pages/home.aspx
... its a mess
eg. the login link is http://admin.healthlawyers.org:8080/_login
any error message with "Restriction" in it is from Group Policy.
what you can try
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
Trusted Sites icon, sites button, remove ANY reference to
http://ahla.org or http(s)://www.healthlawyers.org (IE has security restrictions preventing navigation between sites of lower integrity).... Other userAgents do not use the same security model as MSIE.
the https protocol (secure web sites) works in any IE security zone.... If a site uses https, you do not have to place it in the Trusted sites list. It should work (encrypt) just as well in the internet zone (default).
Hover the mouse over the pdf/doc hyperlink... its uri will appear in the status bar or at the bottom of the IE window... note its address. IT MUST point to the healthlawers.org domain. It should also be using the same protocol as the current web page. If it
uses the https protocol, check "Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
As I said.... it is likely that the above settings are controlled by Group Policy.

Creating multiple page templates!

I'm trying to create multiple page styles as one template to work in the same way as the Apple supplied templates.
I can create all my page styles as one Pages document and save as a template but the finished template doesn't work in the same way as the Apple templates do e.g. I can not insert pages to a document created from my template. I can only insert sections. When inserting a new section I only have a choice of adding a blank or a text page and not choose one of my created page styles.
I think I'm missing something quite fundemental! I know it can be done because I've downloaded a template from the iCommunity exchange and that worked perfectly.
Any ideas folks?

Before saving your template, you need to "capture" all of the pages that you want to have available to insert.
Format > Advanced > Capture Pages...

How to embed an illustrator file into a word doc to make a template

I am trying to make a word template for my company's proposals that we send out to clients. I have created the image in illustrator as an 8.5x11 and saved it for 'web & mobile' use with the highest quality setting. I open the document in microsoft paint, copy everything, and then paste it into the header section of my word doc. I choose the option to bury behind text. My problem is that when I paste from paint into word, the document shrinks and is no longer 8.5x11. This requires me to stretch the image, but it pixelates it beyond what I can allow to be used. Is there an easier way to make a word doc template? I am using Illustrator cs4 and Microsoft 2007 (I know, its really really old).

Open Word Doc from form in web setting not client/server

Hello, I am new to form. I need to open a word doc (on client PC )from Oracle Form by a button click. I did some research online and looks like Client_Ole2 is the package I need. But when I looked into my Build-in Package (in forms builder), I only see OLE2, TEXT_IO etc. So when I try to declare a variable which is CLIENT_OLE2 like some post suggest, I got error message "identifier CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE must be declared".
So is that means that I need to install/setup WebUtil on my env to get this Client_Ole2 to show up on Form Builder?
Thanks for help, please advise.

I found the way to add webutil.pll to attached Libraries.This is the wrong way. Open the webutil.olb in the Forms Builder. Then open your form you want to add the Object Library too. In the Object Libraries node of the Object Navigator - double-click on the WEBUTIL node. This will open the Object Library properties window. Click on and drag the WEBUTIL entry to the Object Groups node of your Form. You will be prompted "Do you want to copy the object or subclass it?" Click on the Subclass button.
Subclassing is a Forms method that allows you to share a single source of an object/code between multiple Forms. It is Forms' way of implementing inheritance.
I also copied them to /forms/java directory too.This is not necessary. I recommend you delete the files you copied to the /forms/java directory. Forms will find the libraries if the .../forms directory is listed in your FORMS_PATH environment variable (see the default.env file). The /DevSuiteHome/forms directory should be the first directory listed in the FORMS_PATH variable.
Remove path?". So I selected Yes. But when I run form, I got FRM_40039: Cannot attach library webutil while opening form ......".The fact that you are getting this error indicates that the /forms directory is NOT part of the FORMS_PATH.
If I choose No to keep the hard code path, then if I deploy the form to testing server or production server, it will become problem! Right? How to solve this?Double-check to ensure it is listed. The variable entry should look something like:
FORMS_PATH=D:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;<any other directories you want to be part of your path seperated by ";">Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Why can't I open word docs from mail anymore?

Am on 10.8.2 on Macbook Air and doc and docx attachments tell me to choose application to open the doc with and won't open when I choose "Word"
These used to be opened automatically by Word, not I have to manually choose Pages as the only option
Am I missing something?

A bit of a step back in my opinion....
Save the word file from the email to your Mac (have you never saved an attachment before)?
Post back when you can do as I asked you to.
And remember that we are trying to find out what is wrong, don't be so snappy!
haha...point taken. Wasn't feeling 'snappy' when I typed it, not intended as such...!
If I save it somewhere as you suggested I can then open it
also, as I mentioned if I drag the doc onto WORD in the dock it opens that way as well
