Outputting images in word documents

DB Version: Oracle 11g XE
Host: Windows 2003 Server - 32 Bit
I have a current application that produces MS Word Documents from host based templates and stores them in the database for later printing. This works nicely however I would also like to be able to embed some small images into the MS Word document. The images are based on user profiles so need to be dynamically managed and merged into the MS Word document.
These images may be stored either on the file system also (alongside the MS Word templates) or within WWV_FLOW_FILES (?) and I just need to work out how to merge the two files into one output.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

Hi,
I'm actually thinking whether the issue is related to Office version. What are the versions of Office on your laptop and workstation?
Based on the description, the issue doesn't occur if the document is saved as .doc, it only occurs if the document is saved as .docx, so basically we can say your workstation doesn't support .docx well. Is it a version prior to Office 2007?

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.

Converting tiff images to word documents

does mac offer any programs like microsoft office document imaging which enables you to scan docs as tifs and convert them to word?

Microsoft would have to offer a TIFF importer within Microsoft Word for its documents. If your issue is loading Word documents within TextEdit, yes, that editor does not support images. You are better off if you don't want to use Microsoft Word itself, to use NeoOffice or iWork's Pages if you want to incorporate images in Word documents.
P.S. Mac is the name of the operating system, and the computers that run the operating system by Apple Inc. So questioning "Does Mac..." doesn't make any more sense than asking "Does Experion..."

Missing images in Word Document

I am having a problem with some missing images when I
generate a Word document from RoboHelp HTML. I have seen similar
problems in these forums and have tried the solutions without
success. I have Word 2002 SP3. I have images in my document that
have conditional tags applied to them. Up until now, I have not had
any trouble with them generating in Word. I added some more images
(using RH to import them into my doc) and I set up the conditional
tags to print those and not the others. In some cases, the images
are generated and in others they are not. There is no X in its
place just a blank line. I have tried erasing the .CPD file and
re-generating. I have tried removing and re-inserting the image.
Also, if I generate the html web help, the images are all there. No
problem. I have tried embedding the images and using links and get
the same result. I have not tried to just generate the PDF because
I need to tweak the document in Word first before generating the
PDF to make everything look good.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp. That didn't
help either. The image properties all have none (not left or
right). I am running out of ideas to solve this problem. Everything
worked great before so I can't figure out what could possibly be
wrong especially since the webhelp is fine. I also tried moving the
project to my C drive. No change either. The project usually
resides on a network drive.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it since I have a
document to print for a customer ASAP! Thank you in advance.

I have been suffering with this problem of missing graphics for some time, even with RoboHelp 8. However, it now seems that I have found the answer and just in case anyone else is still having this problem I thought I would share what worked for me.
After doing some Google searching I found the web site: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm where the following solution was offered for problems with Mail Merge graphics:
"If you find that on merging to a new document the resulting paths have been changed to something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE"../,./../program%20files/My Program/ProductPictures/ImageName.jpg"\*MERGEFORMATINET} and the merge does not work correctly:-
(In Word 2003) Select Tools > Options > General > Web Options and uncheck "Update links on save""
Whatever this has to do with anything I do not know, but it magically fixed my problem and all images are now appearing in the RoboHelp Word output.
Cheers,
Chris

Emf images in word document convert badly to pdf using adobe plug-in

I have a problem with converting word documents containing emf images to pdf using the adobe plugin in the MS word ribbon which is provided with Adobe Acrobat XI standard. The text and some of the image formatting in the emf vector image either disappears or moves within the in the resulting output when the document is converted to a pdf. The issue also occurs when I use the "File > save as adobe pdf" option.
Example image in word:
Example result after pdf conversion:
I have adjusted many of the settings to try and get the conversion to work.
When I use the print then select the adobe printer this image pdf's ok. However he Adobe word plug-in is potentially very useful and a time saver because it allows default settings (including security) to be applied time and time again by default ensuring consistency. It is also important for us to be able to use a high quality vector image.
I hope someone can help here!
Thanks
Tom

We had the problem last year for my last PhD student and his dissertation. It was an issue with vector graphics, not bitmaps. In his case, the lines on a curve were solid, dotted, and dashed, but all came out as solid. In the printed version it was correct. The only solution we found was to create the file from the plugin and a second file with the printer. Then the second file was inserted in the original with replace pages. This meant that all the markup, bookmarks, and such were retained, but the graphics worked. If you do not need the extra bookmarks and such of the plugin, then just set up the printer to do the security you want. If you always want the security set, set it in the printer properties in the Start>Printers menu of Windows.

How do you paste images in Word documents?

Why when I paste an image into a word document does it often move the image to the top of the page.

Microsoft’s documentation for 2008 did not explain how to set defaults when using *command V* to paste into Word. The pic can jump to the top of the page no matter where the cursor is under some circumstances. Someone who speaks Mac may be able to address the defaults better than passing the buck to Gates.

Embedded images in Word documents are incorrect on one computer but show up fine on another computer

I've not been able to find the root of the problem, but I use an application on my laptop that generates images in a document, and the document can be saved either with docx or htm/html extensions. On the laptop, I see the correct images. When I transfer
the document to my workstation either over the network or by a flash drive, the incorrect images pop up - images from a project that I was working on last summer. If I save the documents as a doc on my laptop, the correct images show up on my desktop. This
happens on many documents that I use, but I do have a document I use as a template. I'd prefer not to create another one, because it is quite involved.
When the incorrect images show up on my workstation, I can save the document to a flash drive (you would think with the incorrect images also being saved), but the correct images show up on my laptop.
This is frustrating to always have to work around this, but I've searched Google and really haven't found anyone else having a problem very close to this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Unable to paste images in SCN document

Hi Team
I am able to copy an image from word document and trying to paste it on SCN while creating a wiki document. However, it is not allowing me to directly paste, even though I was earlier able to do it.

Thank you.

How do i retrieve the word document format

I write a java program which writes a word document in to a BLOB in oracle database. and i retrieve the word document from the database and flush the output to a word document in local path. i do get the output and the word document is saved to my local path, but when i try to open the document it opens ina junk format which cannot be read.. how to preserve the format of the document??
here is the sample code..
I open a connection.......
File fileIn     =     new File("C://input.doc");
FileInputStream     finput     =     new FileInputStream(fileIn);
BufferedReader br     =     new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(finput,"Cp1252"));
String lStrDoc_name     =     "1011";
          Conn.setAutoCommit(false);
          String lStrQuery     =     "insert into TESTPDF (" +"DOC_NAME,"+"DOCUMENT,"+"DOC_URL) "+" values(?,?,?)";
          pStmt = Conn.prepareStatement(lStrQuery);
          pStmt.setString(1,lStrDoc_name);
          pStmt.setBlob(2,newblob);
          pStmt.setString(3,"C://testing.doc");
          pStmt.executeUpdate();
          pStmt.close();
          Conn.commit();
          Statement     st     =     Conn.createStatement();
          ResultSet rs= st.executeQuery("select DOCUMENT from TESTPDF where DOC_NAME = " + lStrDoc_name + " for update");
          if(rs.next())
               oracle.sql.BLOB blob=((oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSet)rs).getBLOB(1);
               System.out.println("BLOB-------->"+blob);
               OutputStream outbb=blob.getBinaryOutputStream();
               for(int i = 0; i < fileIn.length(); i++) {
                    outbb.write(br.read());
               outbb.flush();
          rs.close();
          Conn.commit();
Later i read the blob and store my output...
the code is as follows....
String lStrQuery     =     null;
          String lStrDoc_Name     =     "1011";
          String lStrDoc_Url     =     null;
          Blob newBlob     =     null;
          InputStream     fInput     =     null;
          BufferedReader br     =     null;
          FileOutputStream     fOutput     =     null;
          lStrQuery     =     "Select * from TESTPDF where DOC_NAME=" +lStrDoc_Name;
          try {
               pStmt     =     Conn.prepareStatement(lStrQuery);
          } catch (SQLException e2) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e2.printStackTrace();
          try {
               rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
               if(rs.next())
                    lStrDoc_Name     =     rs.getString(1);
                    newBlob               =     rs.getBlob(2);
                    lStrDoc_Url          =     rs.getString(3);
                    if(newBlob != null)
                         fInput = newBlob.getBinaryStream();
          } catch (SQLException e3) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e3.printStackTrace();
          String lStrOutputFileName     =     "C://"+lStrDoc_Name+"testing.doc";
          try {
               fOutput     =     new FileOutputStream(lStrOutputFileName);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e5) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e5.printStackTrace();
               byte b;
               try {
                    while ((fInput.read()) > -1) {
                         b = (byte) fInput.read();
                         fOutput.write(b);
               } catch (IOException e4) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e4.printStackTrace();
The word document is stored in my local path.. but iwas not able to read the document. it opens in some ascii format..
Your help is appreciated..

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(finput,"Cp1252"));Preserving the format would include not mangling it by using a Reader to read it. If you want to preserve it byte for byte then only use InputStream and OutputStream.

Importing a word-document to RH11 for output as WebHelp (Image-Quality)

Hello guys,
i have a problem with importing word-documents to RH11. It is not a problem with the process itself, but with the settings. After importing the documents to RH11 the image quality is absolutly messed up. The resolution is not even half of the original and its blurry. It seems to be that RH11 only takes a "screenshot" of the picture within the word document instead of importing the original high quality image.
I am generating a manual and therefor im going to export the project as WebHelp Pro. My inconvinient solution is to export the high quality images from the word document manually and replace the messy pictures in the WebHelpPro folders. As you can imagin this is going to take a lot of time and resources while the project is getting bigger.
Hopefully you can help me.
Best regards from Germany and please pardon my English :-)

So you are putting the image into Rh at 100% and then shrinking it there, correct?
How are you shrinking it?
If you are going to Image Properties and resizing there, you will get poorer results.
Go to View > Pods > Tools > ReSize and you will get better results.
Or use SnagIt.

Dynamic Converter - convert Word Document with Image

I have the following issue:
My word document contains an embedded image. the text flows around the picture on the right side.
After the conversion is the text in a separate paragraph below the picture ...
Is it possible to configure the dynamic converter so that the text flows around the picture like in the word document?
Thanks for your help!

Now i have tried several times to format the output with different styles. I have changed the text color, text size and to align the picture.
But the output didn't change.
There are no errors or warnings in the logfile.
An ibr is also running. It converts doc into pdf.
For the dynamic converter:
I have made a rule.
Then i have added a criteria for the field "format" with the value "application/msword".
Then i have selected a gui tepmlate and asigned the standard layout.
No effect.
Any suggestions why the dynamic conversion didn't work?
Thank you for your help!

Images cut from Microsoft Word document being picked up in the file size by Acrobat distiller

Hello All;
I have a large MS Word document (book manuscript) with almost 400 images (all grayscale) and found that the tiff images needed to be replaced with jpegs to reduce the file size. I created the jpegs, cut the tiff images from the document, and inserted the replacement jpeg image for each tiff image cut. It reduce the file size in Word from 595 Mb to 210Mb. However, when I ran the distiller, it is somehow picking up the file sizes of the tiff files as it still gives roughly the same output (595 Mb) for the Acrobat document. Is there a way I strip out the tiff image overhead from the pdf or a way I can cleanse it from the MS Word document? Thanks in advance.

Acrobat automatically compresses images when a PDF is made, usually doing something equivalent to JPEG (it's your choice, check the creation options).
So, changing from TIFF to JPEG in the original file will usually make not a bit of difference to the original file size.
There is no simple 1 to 1 connection between the size of a Word document and a PDF. Some things are bigger, some are smaller.
You can experiment with Save as ... optimized PDF settings. Also, use Audit Space Usage in that dialog to see what is using the space.

Word document w/images in RGB pasted into InD CS5

Hi!
Working in InDesign CS5 some problem occured: I have received from 3rd party doc in Word w/embedded images(a lot ((( and text, the images are RGB defined.
Now as printing preprocess(finally to PDF) I need to format/create whole document in Indesign CS5 but I got to have the images in CMYK instead of RGB while still
having text black, w/out CMYK profile - could anybody advice 'politically correct' approach to such problem ? ))
Thanx in advance!
cheers,
bcd

Images in InDesign are to be placed as RGB.
But I see other problems with your document. You should never embed images in InDesign, it is better to place and link them.
The other problem is, that Word provides you with a worse image as it could be, often, in most cases (it depends if the creator has imported the images via copy & past, which is not recommended or with the correct insert image command) Word saves the original used image inside the document. You can save your Word document as HTML file (there are several commands, use the most extended version) it will save the original image as separate file. In Bridge you can see resolution and size easily. Use the better image of each and place it in InDesign. If these images have no color profile, apply sRGB to them.
Conversion to a output color space, in your case CMYK, should not be done before PDF export, better later.
