Open an RTF document

After a RTF has been processed by EndNote it is opened in FM and the paragraphs are handled.
It turns out that I do not need to set special Open parameters to specify the filter RTF (which is requested when opening manually). This is the central part of my script:
openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams();
openReturnParams = new PropVals();
newDoc = Open (fileName, openParams, openReturnParams);
pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; // get first pgf in flow
All works fine - for me it's a mystery, but a welcome one!
See the whole test script and test-file at my DropBox.

Opening RTF Documents

Using Dreamweaver for the first time. I tried to use it to open an RTF document and it showed all the Markup and formatting elements.
Is it possible to open an RTF document in Dreamweaver so the document markup is not displayed? How?

A better question is why anyone would even try? DW is a code/ Unicode text editor, not a word processing app. If you want to get "text" into DW, you copy&paste it from your office program.

Opening landscape RTF report 11g output programmatically from the Form

Hi
Using Forms/Reports 11.1.2.0 on SLES11
If I generate the report output in PDF and the output is landscape, then openning the PDF up using web.show_document (in Adobe Reader) is fine and it shows in a wide format even if sometimes it doesn't show the whole width of the report.
If you generate a report in RTF format, then transfer the RTFdocument to the client using webutil, then open the RTF document with wordpad (again using webutil) then you can't seem to default the opening of wordpad to landscape mode. It only opens in portrait mode and the report is wrapped amd looks poor. Another option is to use MS Word and use a command line switch to run a macro that changes the format to landscape, but putting the macro in a 1000 user's Word envirnment might not be easy.
Are there any other ways to open an RTF format document in a wide format view such that the report is not wrapped within the wordprocessing environment?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Tony

PC users not able to open my TextEdit documents

I'm the secretary for a non profit org and when I try to send my minutes to other members (which I type up in TextEdit) they can't open them or they're in some garbled format. I have a Word 2004 test drive and when it expires I can buy it for around $300! Ouch! I thought when I purchased iWork with my computerI would be able to do documents with it and send them to my PC friends... no such luck? Any inexpensive answers?
iMac w/intel Mac OS X (10.4.5)

TextEdit comes with Mac OS X and is separate from iWork.
You should have little trouble exchanging basic text documents with your Windows counterparts if you use TextEdit. How are you saving your documents? When you save the first time, are you saving as the default RTF document type or have you tried saving as a Word document (.doc)? In your "Save As" window, you should see a drop down menu called "File Format:" where you can choose Word format.
Be sure to stick with basic fonts such as Arial or Times. These are most likely to be on the Windows machines as well.
Hope this helps! bill

How to insert a word document or an RTF document into RichTextEditor?

How to insert a word document or an RTF document into af:richTextEditor. I am using Apache POI for reading the Word document and getting its contents. I am able to display the whole content of the document except the table and image within the document. The data in the table is getting displayed as a string and not as a table inside the editor.
Can we insert a word/RTF document into a rich text editor?
Can we insert images into the rich text editor?
The following is the code that I used. On clicking a button the word document has to be inserted into the <af:richTextEditor>.

Hi,
images are not yet supported. Its an open enhancement request for the rich text editor.
For tables, it seems they are supported but in a basic way (just HTML 4 style) if I interpret the tag documentation correct

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

Can't open a pages document

It seems it should be very easy to transfer between the 2 mac programs. but I cannot open a Pages document with another computer running Appleworks 6.

I have exported from Pages the different file types: WORD screws up the format and fonts; PLAIN TEXT does the same and I can't open RTF, HTML, or PDF files with Appleworks. Can anybody help???

As Sagesse notes, AppleWorks can't open Pages documents because it was released/updated years before Pages was made available. Apple does not claim that AppleWorks can open Pages documents.
Pages does not perfectly convert every document to a Word format. Nothing but Word does this.
But, plain text is plain text. It has no formatting, fonts, styles, etc. That's why it's called plain text and why your formatting, etc is 'screwed up'.
Regarding Peggy's advice that AppleWorks cannot open Pages documents converted to RTF. This is generally true, but not technically true. In any case, it's easy to work around.
AppleWorks, Pages and Word can all open RTF files. However, if you include an image in a RTF file, it becomes a RTFD file. So because most Pages documents contain images, these files will be exported to a RTFD file format. AppleWorks and Word cannot handle a RTFD file. To work around this either: don't add images to your Pages documents, or open the the RTFD file (it's really just a folder containing a RTF file and the images) so you can open the RTF file in AppleWorks or Word.
HTML is a poor format to rely on for word processing documents they look different from browser to browser.
AppleWorks can only import PDF files, page-by-page, as images.
Before you consider purchasing MS Office, first download NeoOffice/J. It's a free clone of MS Office that does an almost perfect job at Office file translation.

New to Pages - Read .rtf documents?

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Pages (just got my new iMac with Yosemite), and have a question regarding importing some (not all) documents saved with WORD as .doc or .docx -- when I open the documents in Textedit, I can see all sorts of formatting information, but Pages will not recognize them ("unable to import Rich Text Format).
How can I convert these documents into a format that will be accepted by Pages?
When I try to save these documents via Textedit and hold 'Option' and attempt to 'Save as...' I can't find any option to change the format.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Normal Word documents (.doc, .docx) are binary data, and do not have this RTF preamble at the beginning of the document. TextEdit will only show RTF syntax in RTF files — if instructed to do so in its preferences. Uncheck the following:
I can rename a proper RTF document and give it a .doc/.docx extension. It does not become a Word document, but rather remains, and is identified by applications as an RTF document. I can manually prepend your RTF preamble to the front of a normal Word document, and it will be recognized as RTF, not as a Word document. You can open this invalid document in TextEdit and the preamble is visible, along with mostly distorted Word content.
Whether valid or mangled documents, Pages v5 will not open any recognizable RTF content.

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

"Firefox is already running" error while opening a Firefox Document

I am a web developer, so I decided to have different versions of Firefox in order to test my web pages.
Thus I decided to install Firefox 3.6 in "C:\Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox 3.6", Firefox 4 in "C:\Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox 4" and Firefox 5 in "C:\Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox 5".
Moreover, each version has its own profile. In 'profiles.ini' I moved the line 'Default=1' from 'default' profile to 'Firefox 5' profile.
Since then, if Firefox has started, when I try to open a Firefox Document (like .htm or .xml) from a folder, I get "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error. But the fact is that Firefox is responding correctly. If I write the file's location in Firefox's location bar it works properly.
In the registry, the FirefoxHTML's open command is "C:\Archivos de programa\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox 5\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1". Is it rigth?

I don't have much difficulty with this problem. It's more of an annoyance.
A ''frequent'' annoyance.
What I'll do is log in to a page that requires a secure connection, and when I'm finished, to complete the security, I always close the browser. Then, of course, I start the browser up again.
The problem is, ''Firefox is still shutting down'', and issues this error. Most of the time, I can wait 10 seconds, then start up fine.
'''So my question is,''' why the heck can't the process that detects that Firefox is still running do the waiting for me? Instead of popping up a message, "Firefox is still running", pop up a message, ''"Firefox is cleaning up from the last shut-down, one moment please"'', then start up again.
I hate to mention it, but none of Firefox's competitors have any problem with starting up too soon after a shut-down.

It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option.

I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

Using integers/characters as bookmarks in rtf document

first of all, i am self taught (ie i know practically nothing)
i am trying to write an application which includes a database and produces standard letters with individual clients' details inserted. it is driving me insane.
i am using rtf files and the code below (part of which i stole off the internet) copies everything just fine
the code below works ok for a limited number of 'fields' - the integers in the 'switch' apply to characters such as # $ [ and they seem to be the integers the code uses.......(the code inserts my fields as it should)
and this is where my ignorance kicks in big-time - i have tried everything, putting the character itself into the switch instead of the integer, using Unicode symbols - to expand the range so i can use more 'fields' - but i have to confess i am really out of my depth, i don't really understand Unicode........
for example, i have tried using 'à' as an example, but no matter whether i use the integer (the default one recovered from the rtf document by this code), the character itself, or the Unicode value........the code just ignores it, does not insert the field i require, instead just re-types the à in the copy document.
tall order, but is there any simple way for me to have a much wider range of 'bookmarks' so i can insert fields?

hi mel
first of all thanks for taking the trouble to answer my query. i am rather embarrassed on two counts - first for the mistake in my code (i did admit to ignorance after all) and secondly that i seem to have found an answer to my problem - after about 3 months of tearing out what hair i have, perhaps posting here galvanised me, i don't know.
re your solution, yes i could switch happily between the characters themselves, the integers the rtf document seemed to be using (cp1252 or something like that?) and unicode symbols, but the problem was the code was only recognising certain symbols, such as $ and [, but it steadfastly refused to recognise (and therefore act upon) the accented a character (and every other character which was not a letter or a number), which effectively left me with about 12 fields to play with in my standard letters.
anyway, this seems to be working!:
int c;
while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
System.out.print(" " + c);
if (c == '%')
char cbuf[] = new char[3];//in my rtf document i am using %001, %002 etc
cbuf[0] = (char)in.read();
cbuf[1] = (char)in.read();
cbuf[2] = (char)in.read();
if (insertField(Integer.parseInt(new String(cbuf)))) continue;
out.write(c);
catch (Exception io)
System.out.println(io.getMessage());
finally
try
in.close();
out.close();
catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
private boolean insertField(int d) throws Exception
int a = d;
switch(a)
case 1: doField(currClient.getTitle());//35 - these are integers i was using previously
return true;
case 2: doField(currClient.getFirstName());//36
return true;
case 3: doField(currClient.getLastName());//91
return true;
case 4: doField(currClient.getFirstAddress());//93
return true;
etc
i just have to make sure i have no %s in my standard letters, otherwise i should use some other symbol. i will now worry until i am sure you are not going to point out why this will not work long term, but it seems to have worked so far and has helped expand my armoury of fields..........
thanks once again for your help

How to set data in rtf document?

Hi friends,
I have a rtf document can anyone suggest how to set data in cells of an rtf document?Is there any way?
Thanks in advance..
Regards ,
Soumyanil

Convert the resultSet from the db to a Object[][], let's call it result.
Then create a JTable (jTable1).
On the JTable you need to define the headers, and the data itself.
You can get the headers from ResultSetMetaData. Convert these to an array again (headers).
Now use these methods to create a model and set the model of the JTable.
Model model = new DefaultTableModel(result, headers);
jTable1.setModel(model);That's about the basics.
If you need more info, use at the tutorial at sun's homepage.
