Opening a Word document in a form layout html region

Hi all,
In an Interactive Report I use
select '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#'||package.f_get_document_type ( doc.id )||'" title="Document" width=20 height=20>'
) document
from table
to show an icon that eventually downloads (and shows) a word document.
Now I have a form layout html region and I want to have the same icon\link to show a document.The document however is not in the same table as the rest of the page is based on.
How can I show the document on this page?
Kind Regards,
Maurice

One way, create a hidden item, and return the value into it from your package (by having a computation that calls the function package.f_get_document_type(:P1_DOC_ID) . Let's say it's called :P1_DOC_TYPE
There's a new item type in Apex 4, which is Display Image.
When you get to settings in the item creation wizard, specify what the image is based on. From there, you can set it to be 'Image URL stored in Page item Value. Then on the source page, you can just specify the URL, #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&P1_DOC_TYPE.

This is a confused and confusing issue. There are no quick fixes. Bear in mind the following points:
Word is a client program. It can only open documents that can be seen from a client PC. If you cannot see your database server's directories from a client PC (and I would hope you can't) you cannot open that document.
what you are left with is creating a copy of that document, transporting it to the client realm, and then overwriting it back on the server after your user has finished with it (if they're editing).
there are many different ways of doing this, but they will probably involve writing an API in VisualBasic or Java. Alternatively you might look at Oracle's IFS.
This is not the right forum for a detailed solution - try the Developer forum (or IFS if that floats your boat).
Good luck, APC

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

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.

How to open a word document

you will not have an option for clicking and you cant achieve your task!!!!!!!!

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

How can I open a word document in C++ with a CNiWordApplication object?

Hello,
For an application, i need to open a word document using VisualC++ and CNiWord classes (CNiWordApplication, CNiWordDocument...). I successed to create a new CNiWordDocument with the CNiWordApplication CreateDocument() function. But when using the OpenDocument() I have error message about violation error. Must I create another objet before calling the OpenDocument() function? Is it possible to have an example of code to open a word document?
Thank you for your help.

I tried the following code to open a doc file in an MFC application.
CNiWordApplication word;
CNiWordDocument doc = word.OpenDocument("c:\\books.doc");
This worked fine for me. I tried this with Word 2003 and Measurement Studio 7.1
Try running one of the shipping examples. You can find examples for this under ..\MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\Office\
Hope this helps.

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

When I try to install abode - it will download but says i have to close firefox before it will install. also i try to open a word document from a website and it will not open - it will only download

i install abode - it will download but not install and indicates i have to close firefox before it will download. Also, I try to open a word document from a website - it will download but not open.

You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.
As for the Word downloads, see the changing downloads action section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+file+types
