You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.

Upload / Open a Word Document from BDS with WebDynpro

Hello,
we use the BDS (Business Document Server) to storage our word files. Now we use WebDynpro with the UI OfficeControl.
Could any one tell me, how to open/upload my documents from BDS with the OfficeControl.
The UI FileUpload does not work, because it is not allowed to use specify URLs. link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
For example that is the URL from the BDS: "SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/100/BDS_5FDB2_5FR/7B3AAF5B22AAD21197ED0060B0672A3C/Forminterface.doc"
I use the class "CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET" with the method "get_with_url". result is above.
Each example with the OfficeControl from SAP (Package SIOS) use the Mime Repository:
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
CALL METHOD mime_repository->get
    EXPORTING
      i_url     = url
    IMPORTING
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'DATAS' value = content ).
Have any one an idea, how BDS and WebDynpro works together

What about getting the binary of the word document from BDS and download this?
Yes, it exist a method calls "get_with_table". This return the binary path from my url above.
Here is my source code:
public attributes
DATA oi_document TYPE REF TO if_ios_wordprocessing.
DATA oi_factory TYPE REF TO if_ios_factory.
METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA ol_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA ol_office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_office_control.
DATA vl_document TYPE xstring.
short from
vl_document = myBDS->get_with_table( ).
Settings for UI OFFICE_CONTROL
ol_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'OFFICE' ).
ol_node->set_attribute( name = 'DATASET' value = vl_document ).
get the office control
wd_this->oi_office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE_CONTROL' ).
get the IOS Factory
      wd_this->oi_factory ?= ol_office->_method_handler.
get proxy document
      wd_this->oi_factory->get_wordprocessing_proxy(
      IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->oi_document ).
CALL METHOD wd_this->oi_document->if_ios_document~opendocument( ).
ENDMETHOD.
When I compile everything is ok. But when I run my application, it nothing happen. No word file is opening or no error message. I create a ALC trace (SAPNOTE 949770).
Each time when I try to open my word file comes a popup-window from the alc-trace:
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::| STG_E_READFAULT : readaccess|HRESULT=-2147287010(     A disk error occurred during a read operation)
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|Office version is lower than 12, only native office format supported|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|loadOffice2007xml|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error )
But I have access to the BDS and to the document.
Can any one help me.....

Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
Thanks

try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
1. Declare your button
               JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
               butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
               butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
               c.add( butexlcom );
2. run your word document.
class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
     private JTextArea msgout;
     public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
     msgout = msg;
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe NameWordDocument");
          catch(Exception en) {
               msgout.append( "\n*** PROBLEME WORD ***\n" );
}

How do you run a (Word) Document from a Swing application

I want to create a Word Document and then open it from a Swing application. If you can't do that directly, what else can you do to get that result.

Just as you do it on a Mac Pro or a Mac Mini.
What version of Mac OS X? What version of MS Word?
If you're thinking of the AutoRecover feature, you have to enable it first. If it was enabled, this

How do I open a word document from a url?

We have a document server and I need to open a MSWord document that is a template for LabView to populate (using bookmarks and Connectivity Toolkit).
I have looked at the URL builder and I can't get that to work. The Get Document does open the document but it doesn't seam to give the correct path to the Word Get Report so it doesn't give a good link.
I can open it in the default browser which links to Word but again there isn't any link to feed to Word Get Report.
Am I even close?
Thank you,
Ben

Here's a code snippet that should help you:

Help about opening a PHP page from a Java application

Hi,
I would have some elements to open a PHP page from a little Java application I'm doing. I would like to know the classes I had to use, how to implement them, ...
In fact, I dial into my application my login, my password, and when I click on by "Connect" button, I must show the PHP page corresponding ti my profile onto the database. Picking up information from the database is not a problem, I know how to use SQL Packages in Java. The problem is to open a new page (IE or Netscape) when clicking on the "Connect" button in my application.
Thanks a lot for advice me.

Hi
This class is from JavaWorld Tip 66 and I've used it to open web pages and files in a browser.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
* A simple, static class to display a URL in the system browser.
* Under Unix, the system browser is hard-coded to be 'netscape'.
* Netscape must be in your PATH for this to work. This has been
* tested with the following platforms: AIX, HP-UX and Solaris.
* Under Windows, this will bring up the default browser under windows,
* usually either Netscape or Microsoft IE. The default browser is
* determined by the OS. This has been tested under Windows 95/98/NT.
* Examples:
BrowserControl.displayURL("http://www.javaworld.com")
BrowserControl.displayURL("file://c:\\docs\\index.html")
BrowserContorl.displayURL("file:///user/joe/index.html");
* Note - you must include the url type -- either "http://" or
* "file://".
public class BrowserControl
     * Display a file in the system browser. If you want to display a
     * file, you must include the absolute path name.

Opening PC WORd documents with AW

I am new IMAC user. Unfortunately salesman (Best Buy) told me that a word processor and spread sheet were part of the software package! I want to buy AW (sounds like a great program and my son loves it), but need to know how to open PC Word documents from email. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks.

As Roger said, AppleWorks may not open newer Word & Excel files, from a PC or Mac. In the past, AppleWorks 6 was able to open almost all Word & Excel documents, it is not able to open those saved with newer versions of either Mac or PC application. The Office translators in AppleWorks were introduced in late 2000 or early 2001 & have not been updated. In the meantime, Microsoft has made significant changes in the file formats in the last year or two that AppleWorks can't open them any more. AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000, & hasn't even had any kind of update since January, 2004.

Hi Manu,
Follow these steps:
1. Create CONTEXT with 2 attributes - UPLOAD & SHOW of type XSTRING.
2. Add a "UPLOAD" element on the layout of screen & map it with UPLOAD attribute of context.
3. Then Add a "OFFICE CONTROL" on the same screen & map it with the SHOW attribute of context..
4. Add a BUTTON for Show Document/Open Document.
5. Add 2 attrubutes in ATTRIBUTES tab of the dynpro application:
        i) DOCUMENT type IF_IOS_DOCUMENT
       ii) FACTORY    type IF_IOS_FACTORY
6. On method of that button (SHOW)...enter the following code:
DATA : refexp TYPE REF TO cx_ios_exception.
IF wd_this->document IS INITIAL.
    wd_this->factory->get_document_proxy( IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->document ).
    ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->document IS BOUND.
ENDIF.
wd_this->document->opendocument( ).
read context node
DATA:
    node_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    elem_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_file_upload                    TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FILE_UPLOAD> via lead selection
node_file_upload = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_second=>wdctx_file_upload ).
get element via lead selection
elem_file_upload = node_file_upload->get_element( ).
get all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
stru_file_upload-show = stru_file_upload-upload.
set all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->set_static_attributes(
    EXPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
7. Now add the following code to the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (default method)
DATA:
      office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_view_element.
get the office control
office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE' ).
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION office IS BOUND.
get the IOS interface
wd_this->factory ?= office->_method_handler.
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->factory IS BOUND.
8. Run the application & enter a text file of word format in the File Upload.
9. Press show button & it will display the code of that word file.
Plz ask any queries if you face any problem doing the above code.
& dont forget to mark Points.
Regards:
Parteek.

Can you open a word document in pages 08

Quick question however stupid it is
can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
cheers
Message was edited by: Lama323

The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.
