Opening word document with linked PPT inside

Hi everybody,
this is an error occuring using KM functionality, which could also be cause by the local Microsoft environment, but perhaps anybody knows this ...
We are using EP 6.0.2.4.8 with CM 6.0.2.4.6
In several KM navigation iviews we have linked folders from a file system repository with word documents inside. Users have problems opening the word documents which have powerpoint files linked inside the document. The powerpoint files are not embedded, but linked and shown as object (not as symbol or hyperlink).
This means: word document is openened via http://<portal>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/<folder>/<file>.doc
The PPT linked inside leads to
<fileserver>\<share>\<file>.ppt
In some user environments (depending on local security policies(?) and local user/word options) word tries to automatically refresh the linked objects and then word crashes with an exception.
So far, a Microsoft problem, but:
when I copy the same word document to a simple IIS webserver an open it, the file is opened properly ...
Is this problem known somewhere? As it is a local application error, I do not get any error in the portal logs ...
Best regards,
Martin

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Since I work at a customer's office, I couldn't reply before because it took me some times to perform the tests.
I tried to embed the images in Word before importing the document into Robohelp 8. The problem remains. RH creates the images into a new folder (and names the images "image001", "image002", and so on). Therefore, the link with the original images is lost.
So, if we modify the image linked to the Word document, we are obliged to apply the same changes in the images created by RH.
The idea would be to have only one image folders used both by RH and Word so that if we change our images, the changes apply in all our files.
This option was available in RH x5.
Best Regards,
Isabelle

  • Opening Word documents with Appleworks

    I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

    The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
    Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
    --> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
    --> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
    --> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

  • Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

    I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
    app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
    When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
    If I disable editing I got this message:
    I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

  • Opening Word document with OLE

    Hello,

    Thanks, I am able to setup webutil.
    Now I have other problem in context of migrating OLE functionality using Webutil. I have an OLE Container item 'OLE_FIELD' in block 'Blk_name' which contains a word document. 'OLE_FIELD' corresponds to a long raw column in the table . I want to put the contents of this into a newly created word document and run a macro on this document. This was done using Forms_Ole.Activiate_Server, Forms_Ole.Execute_verb earlier. Can someone let me know how this is achieved in 9iDS using Webutil since 9iDS does not support the ole container? I am sending the code as it was in earlier version of Forms.
    Declare
    arglist OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
    application OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
    BEGIN
    FORMS_OLE.ACTIVATE_SERVER('Blk_name.OLE_FIELD');
    application := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application.8');
    -- Open the embedded document for editing
    FORMS_OLE.EXEC_VERB('Blk_name.OLE_FIELD',1);
    -- Run Macro for document
    arglist := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
    OLE2.ADD_ARG(arglist, 'MACRO_NAME.MAIN');
    OLE2.INVOKE(application, 'Run', arglist);
    OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(arglist);
    OLE2.INVOKE(application, 'Quit');
    -- Close Word
    FORMS_OLE.CLOSE_SERVER('Blk_name.OLE_FIELD');
    -- Release the OLE object
    OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(application);
    END;
    Thanks in advance,

  • Why can I open Word documents with Pages but can't open Pages documents with Pages? Oh, that's right, I have to PAY EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

    Sorry, this just upsets me.

    Heaven knows what you are talking about.
    I suppose you might, but probably don't, which is why you are huffing and puffing.
    Probably this is about Pages '08 not opening the later Pages '09. Given that Pages '09 introduced many features that Pages '08 didn't have, it is not too surprising.
    Remind me what it costs to buy Pages '09 from the M.A.S. to use on as many computers as you want.
    Also remind me what it costs for Ms Word, or even lunch. I'm sure you have blown more on a whim than you ever will on something as useful as Pages.

  • Importing Word Files With linked Excel files

    I have a word document with linked excel files that appear as linked images in word. When these images are clicked it opens it up in Excel where I can edit them which is fine. However, I would like to import the word doc into adobe indesign with editable tables - not images. Is there a way I can do this?
    Importing, exporting, converting. Nothing seems to work besides manually bring in the separate excel doc in one by one but that will be very time consuming at my end.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    AFAIK, that won't work. InDesign doesn't support OLE.
    You may need to convert those Excel tables to Word tables before placing into ID.

  • How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

    Hi-
    I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
    My Workflow so far:
    1. Get Finder items
    2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
    3. Rename selected items
    4. Open selected items (Word docs)
    Three problems occur.
    The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
    The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
    The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
    Thanks,

    Hi there Jeremy,
    to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
    These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
    Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
    This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    set allItems to every item of input
    repeat with currItem in allItems
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    open currItem
    end tell
    activate application "TextWrangler"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextWrangler"
    delay 2
    --when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
    --I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    --save the doc
    keystroke "s" using command down
    delay 5
    --close the doc
    keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    end run</pre>
    The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
    You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
    You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...
    regards
    Ric

    How to restrict firefox to open word document from a website link to open in the browser window, instead it should open in native program.
    1.I have tried other website, and have clicked on similar links they are opening word document correctly in native program
    2. MS word document from one specific site is opening in browser causing junk character in place of word document.
    Could you please help on this.

    Thanks for your response...
    But As i said, I have tried with other website on the same browser, there it is opening word document in native program. Also the above mentioned options have been tried earlier.
    I have some questions related to this?
    How is this href link is behaving differently opening in browser for mozilla only. Technically, Can we make it open it native program only? If so, then how?

  • Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

    Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
    I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
    specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
    me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
    to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
    is in embedded file.

  • Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

    I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page.  When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
    I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone.  Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

    In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table.  The remaining pages are not printed.
    For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
    The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
    However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
    The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.
