Numbers (office template wizard yet?)

I posted this a few years back. Can numbers do this yet? I am still running my PowerMac G5 but it's getting old. Can anyone give me an update?
Nov 19, 2007 9:00 PM
I own apartment houses. With Office 98 I made a rent receipt template and linked it to the database with template wizard, end result I would bring up the template, fill in date, amount, apt # ect. Then I would print the receipt and give it to the tenant. When I hit save it would save the info to the database and I would save the receipt to a file also in case I needed to print it again. When I went to OSX it came with office but I find they no longer have template wizard for the Mac version of Office X, only the windows version. I still run Office 98 in classic but it does not work so well (out of memory errors, wrong). Question, can Numbers do this for me or do I need to look elsewhere? I'm waiting to buy iwork until I find out.
G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
This solved my question by WWJD on Nov 19, 2007 9:18 PM
You need to look elsewhere right now. Numbers cannot link to other files, databases, etc.. The data must be on one file right now. Regards,

WWJD's answer still applies.

How can I customize Microsoft Word Outline Numbered List Templates with AppleScript?

I wrote an applescript to set up a word document with the appropriate styles to give the document an academic setup, much like what Xelatex produces. This is a work in progress and I have a problem.
I have successfully applied the style changes to each Header and I have applied the desired outline numbered list template "list template 5 of list gallery 3", however I would like to add tab stops to each one in order to make each header look slick like in Latex.
To do what I want manually in Microsoft Word 2011 mac I would click Bullets and Numbering, customize, under text position i would check the tab stop box and put in some value (1 cm, for example)
The following is an approximation of the result of running this script on a document with headings 1-9 applied consequently to each line, respectively. Note how they are not even. I think this is an issue with the template, but I want to be able to run this script on any mac without extra template files.
1    Heading 1
1.1    Heading 2
1.1.1    Heading 3
1.1.1.1    Heading 4
1.1.1.1.1    Heading 5
1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 6
1.1.1.1.1.1.1        Heading 7
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Heading 8
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 9
Here is the script so far:

How to add a report template to the template wizard?

Dear All,
I built a new report in BPC, and want to use it as the report template.
I did following steps:
1)change the "templaversion" in application set parameters from 15 to 16 (i.e, add a template)
2)save my report to etools--save dynamic templats; and save it to the "report/wizard'
3)open "client options"--"refresh dynamic templates";
but when I choose "using dynamic templates" in the Action pane, I still found the template wizards are 15, not add my new templates.
How to solve it? can any one help?
Thanks in advance.

If you completed the steps outlined, then you need to Change the Appset, Set Template Version, then refresh ClientSide Dimension Files. Then you need to either re-login to the Excel client, or in your working Excel copy, goto etools, client options, refresh Dynamic Templates.
After that, you should see the new added files. One key trick is when adding the description in th etext file, make sure you add the name and then hit TAB key to move to Strat the Description of the new wizard.
But these steps do work, as I have re-tested the process in version 7M.
Hope this helps.

Office templates controlled by GPO error

Hi, we configured our Group Policy to force usage of office templates from specific path (Network).
we created shared folder for read to everyone and configuredet policy, its looks working but every time the users try to exit they get popup that ask them to Save AS (the default) "normal" template and its very annoying.. someone know what
should be the solution for that ?
i guess the ofice try to write into that file but its read only so its popup the save AS but what will happen if i give read write permission ? there are 150 users in our company and i dont think it will be a good idea to let this "normal"
template be writable...
I hope someone could help us.
Thanks

Hi,
you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
The registry value/type/data is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
Name: sharedtemplates
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
Data: <UNC path to folder>
From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
Filename: office15.admx
Scope: User
Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths
Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path
Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7
Category: Shared paths
Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates.
Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
It can also be set manually by a user:

I am not sure if it was a PP or Open Office template, but I would like to get my hands on it again as I lost the original. Of course I spend time on Google etc but did not find it. Anybody know where I can find a copy? Or someone has a copy?
Thanks

Most presentation programs allow you to create a gradient (a smooth transition from one color to another across the slide) as a slide background. What program are you using?
Powerpoint
Check out the information in this link. It shows how to create gradient for the slide background. That covers one image.
BTW do you remember any keywords, terms, or any other words in either the template, the file name, or the webpage where you downloaded it from?
no I do not know as said I did a long search to no avail.
Looking at the cover image, I'm getting the hunch that it was created in OpenOffice. Does OpenOffice have a template browser? Try that if you haven't.
Besides that, I'm afraid that's about all I've got. It's like looking for a single grain of sand in a desert.
I just found this: http://blogs.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/uploads/2008/05/OpenOffice3BetaMenu.jpg
The gradient is the same, and the "swirls" are the same as well. It might easily be a default template or a template available with OpenOffice. Try that.

Office Templates being pushed to all Office 365 users

Hello, I want to push out a PowerPoint, word, excel templates to all the users in my office 365 domain, so when they open a word document they have the option to choose a master template. Is there a way to do that in a Non-Active Directory environment. I
noticed a Client - Share Documents in my PowerPoint, but I can't seem to find where that is? I have figured how it is suppose to work, but I am having trouble. I have been sent to a few different forums now, I am hoping that I do not keep getting bounced.
Office seems to point to a library called Clients-Shared Documents. My home site is called FCRL Home (not sure what it used to be). It may have been clients at the beginning, but it is not now. I do have a site called clients, but it is way down in the hierarchy,
and changing that template document does not seem to work. I still have not found where the library it is looking too, any other suggestions?
A couple of other questions:
How do I change the document library in which it looks for the templates? is that not possible?
Is it always the first library in the team site it looks too?

-Active Directory environment and we are unable to deploy Office template through GPO. However, you may check this:http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-foundation-help/set-a-file-template-for-a-document-or-form-library-HA010377912.aspx
Furthermore, to begin to get a handle on corporate documents and themes, I highly recommend Stephanie Krieger's book, Documents, Presentations, and Workbooks: Using Microsoft Office to Create Content That Gets Noticed- Creating Powerful Content with Microsoft
Office. This is a documentation on creating advanced Word (and other) templates and documents and Office themes. It includes some info on deployment also that should be helpful to you.

Jsp template wizard missing?

Hi,
jdev prev4
I found in "Help" that a JSP template wizard is available ( file extension .jjt) BUT I cannot find that template in the "new->all technologies->web tier->jsp"
I would like to know if that template has been removed in 11g or where is it located.
Regards

Hi again,
1-The JSP template is defined in jdeveloper prev4->help menu->full text search->"create jsp template wizard - welcome" and look for the same title in the results (mine is the 7th and 8th)
2-by using the JSF-> new JSF Template wizard, there is no option for JSP (and only JSP), then the result template is in JSF format. I'm not sure, but the JSP template was available in 10g
Maybe, full JSP support is no longer available in next releases of JDev (I understand that), but it is a pity because if you develop a web application by using Ajax and you have enough knowledge of JSPs, you don't need to know anything of JSFs, no extra files (faces-config), no extra libraries, and so on.
Thanks!

Links to MS Office template files (dotx, potx, xltx, ...)

Hi every one,
I'm using Acrobat Pro 7 for an interactive Project Handbook. Meaning there're are steps to acomplish in order to set up and manag a project according to certain guide lines.
With this handbook I provide an overwiev of the whole document from where
each chapter and
each document that has to be filled for project management
can be reached. To do this I'm using the linking tool of Acrobat.
I couldn't find any post in this forum that looks like my problem so I opened a new post.
Problem description:
As long as I link PDFs together every thing is fine. But as I'm providing Word and Excel template files, thing get messy.
When linking from a PDF to, lets say a *.dotx (Word template), the link works. But in stead of creating a new "Untitled.doc" from the template, it opens the template to be modified.
Use case:
The file "MyTemplate.dotx" is in a sub-directory where the "Overview.pdf" is in. When double clicking in Windows explorer on "MyTemplate.dotx" an new "Untitled.docx" is created.
When linking from "Overview.pdf" to "MyTemplate.dotx" and using that link, "MyTemplate.dotx" is opened the same way as if a right-click and choosing "Open" under Windows explorer was performed.
Workaround:
In order to have an "Untitled.docx" generated from the template I don't link to the template any more. Instead I use a batch file with the following command:
[start "" "directory\directory\MyTemplate.dotx" exit].
This command is written in a "Workaround.bat" file to whitch the Overview.pfd is linked to.
With this solution, the template opens as a new "Untitled.docx" and it's fine.
New Problem:
Using a batch file is detected as a thread on certain PCs. When a link to a *.bat file is used on such a PC, a dialog box "Security warning" shows up saying "Un allowed link with file:/path/folder/..../Workaround.bat" leaving only 2 choices: clicking on Help or on OK and not being able to launch the batch.
Final Question:
How to tell Acrobat to create a new document from a template fil *.dotx" and not open it to edit the template?
I want to thank you for your precious help, I'm really stuck at this point.

I can load my Numbers "My Templates" onto my ipad Air running ios 8 using iCloud, but when I try to do the same thing with my iphone 5s also running ios8, I get an error message and they do not load. What to do?

I am referring to the "My Templates" folder where I have designed my own specific templates. It loaded fine for iPad Air but confusingly, once it is on iCloud it does not seem to be accessible by my iPhone. So I tried the same process which entails finding the com.apple.numbers file and emailing the files; selecting them on iPhone then telling them to be opened by Numbers. Numbers will ask if you want them to be added to Templates. I said yes and after a brief attempt it returns the message that it cannot load the templates, an error occurred, but there is no reference as to what that error might be nor how to fix it.

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.
Answer came from SGIll: Numbers templateshttps://discussions.apple.com/message/27505880#27505880Numbers templates
