OS X Lion and Word Documents

I am thinking about upgrading to Lion. I now have both Microsoft Office 2004 and i-Works "11. I know that Word 2004 doesn't work in Lion. I have a lot of Word (Doc) documents. If I upgrade to Lion can Pages still open those Word 2004 documents and will Pages still allow me to save a Pages document as a Word formated document as it does now or do I have to upgrade Office to 2011 edition to still do this?

Pages will be able to open your Word documents but depending on the documents, you may or may not be happy with the results. Pages is Word compatible but it is not a Word clone. I've found that my Word files with tables and floating graphics are the ones most likely to import looking very different from the original. Since you have Pages now, open some of your Word documents and look at the results.
BTW, there's a free Office clone called LibreOffice that does a pretty darn good job of opening Office documents and saving documents that Word users can open.

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
thanks

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom
Also check this thread in Asktom
SQL> create table demo
2 ( id        INT PRIMARY KEY,
3    theBlob   blob,
4    dummy_col VARCHAR2(1)
5 )
6 /
Table created.
SQL> -- --------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> -- Load a PDF file into a BLOB field and compress the BLOB.

Hyperlinks in e-mails and word documents no longer open a window

My Firefox was recently was upgraded (not my choice - you just did it) and now when I click on hyperlinks in e-mails (I use Entourage) and word documents the screen acts like it's getting ready to take me to a new window in Firefox but then nothing happens. I want this functionality restored, especially since many links do not spell out the web site.

Why would I reply to my own posting??!!

Urgent Help Regarding PDF and Word Document Downloading

Many Thanks Shaik for you humble help. Actually now what I did in the past 3 days,
I used Oracle Intermedia to store my PDF and Word Documents in the database using Oracle SQL Loader. Then I used PL/SQL Server Pages and Oracle Web Toolkit for the downloading of my documents.
Now the problem is I saved all my formatted documents in the databse and for retrieval I am using following code in my stored procedure
* Select BLOB Data
select blob_data into myblob from mytable where blob_name = name;
Setup headers which describes the content
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.get_length(myblob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
Initiate Direct BLOB download
wpg_docload.download_file(myblob);
end;
The structure of the mytable table:
create table mytable
doc_id varchar2(128),
doc_name varchar2(128),
blob_data blob
But when it prompt the client to download the file actually it gives the junk file name like 'B104ea56' (which i understand is the address of the blob address). What I want is to show the "SAVE AS" download box with the proper document name which is stored in my field in the following way
1 SALES.PDF
2 PLANNING.PDF
3 MANUAL.DOC
4 STANDARD.TXT
If I set the MIME type for the file format than it automatically starts download the file to the client browser, that I do not want, It should ask the user to download with the proper document name.
Waiting consiously for your help
Regards

Presumedly you'd like those documents being accessiable by users as well, so they should be put on a web server, ftp or nfs sharing. You can just add the urls to those documents, or the directory they are in, into robot system as starting points and let robot run to collect them.

Even if you could upgrade, Lion does not support Power PC apps / Rosetta.
Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities
New Macs come with Lion pre installed. If you can purchase one at some point that way you'd still be able to use the apps you mentioned on the PBook and have another Mac running Lion.

Lion and Word 2008

I downloaded Lion and now when I open my Word 2008 documents, some of the formatting is all jumbled. Is there any way to fix this??

This is a part of the Resume feature in Lion. It can be completely turned off, like JoeyR posted. This will affect all your applications though, not just Word. Check out this guide if you feel like it:

Displaying PDF and Word Document

Hi,
I have used the methods to display HTML :
1. Link to Action and the IFrame -> The Result was the html file I was able to display in the same window.
2. Link to URL -> The Result was html file opened in different window.
3.IFrame and attaching the file in project -> it was resulted in html file getting dispalyed in IFrame.
Now if I want to extend the functionality for PDF or word document, is the procedure same or different
Can anyone enlighten me on this
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks in Advance
Srikant

Hi srikant,
You can also display word documents and pdf by uploading it in the server.
For this you'll have to create aliases in the server for the corressponding documents that you want to uploaad.
Go to visual admin ->services->httpprovider.
Then click the tab 'aliases'. Here you can give the name of your alias and also the document to which the alias should point(first upload the document to the server machine and then give the path here ) .
Now when you type http://server:port/aliasname your document will open in the browser. You can display it either through your iFrame or linktourl as you prefer.
Hope my effort will help you.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hot to display PDF and Word documents as an attachment in OBIEE Reports

Hi,
From few of Oracle threads I learnt that we can store the files in a server locaiton and read it thro a URL. What I am trying to do is, PDF or Word document will be stored in database as BLOB fields. This BLOB field needs to be come as an attachment in OBIEE Reports and by clicking that icon, it uses the local applicaiton PDF reader or a word applicaiton and open the attachment, just like how we open an attachment from a E-mail. Can you please help me with the possible methods of that. I can provide you more information incase if you need.
Thanks
Augesthi

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

Sizing OLEFields and Word Document

I am having trouble sizing an Embedded OLEField so that it only takes up the screen real estate that I have available.
I am using the OLEField.LinkTo() method to attach an existing Word document to the OLEField. That document is being displayed, but I have no control over its size.
I have tried setting the Width and Height on the OLEField before and after the LinkTo. I have also tried setting the Width and Height of a Parent GridField, and setting the size policy to Parent, all with no success.
When I call TraceWidget on the OLEField all of my changes appear to be ignored. A TraceWidget on the ParentGridField seems to contain the correctly set Width and Height values, but there is no physical change to the window.
I am looking for one solution that will work in both Forte 2.0.F.4 and Forte 3.0.G.2, and if there isn't a common solution then one for each.
Thanks.

PDF and Word Documents

I have a requirement to retrieve either a PDF or a Word document from the database, and eventually display it in my JavaFX 2.2 application.
I had been looking out for ideas and falling short. Any hints on how this could be implemented would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response jsmith. Please see my comments inline.
jsmith wrote:
Use the associated application installed on the client to display the file:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html#open%28java.io.File%29
As per the requirement I should display the list of documents on the left panel. When the user selects a document from the list I should display the word or pdf document inline on the center panel of a border pane. However with no other alternative I have to convince the users to go with the above solution to open with the client installed application.
>
If this does not fit your needs, then explain why and provide more context, i.e. how many files, readonly or also editable, must the file be displayed as a JavaFX node, what will the user do with the file, are bitmapped images of the files sufficient, is the database on a server or also running on the JavaFX client . . .These files are to be strictly read-only. An external JSF 2.0 web based application uploads the files(PDF of Word) into the database. My javaFX application user should be able to read the content before accepting or rejecting the document. A bit-map image should be fine too as long as it is readable. Database is on a different server and my FX application communicates it through remote interfaces using EJB 3.1 deployed on glassfish.
Thanks again.

How to point at a word table using forms Ole and Word Document

Hello.
I like to know how to position at a word table and send data from a forms module using ole. I have done something similar before using bookmarks.It's easy and it works. My requirement now is to send data from a forms module to a word document, but this time, the word document will have bookmarks and a word table needs to be filled from data from the database. Just don't know how to get , access, reference the word table from forms.
I'm still using forms6i in C/S mode.
Help will be greatly appreciated ...!.
Best regards, Luis ...!

Hi Luis,
The VBA code for updating the cell found at row three, column two of the first table, of the active document is as follows:
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(3,2).Select
Selection.TypeText("Hello, world!")I haven't time to convert it to OLE2, but hopefully it will at least give you an idea.
