Placing and then splitting a Word doc

I have a long (for me) and pretty messy Word Doc that I need to bring into InDesign and turn into a 32 page report. It is a continuous doc with 7 sections.
When I bring into InDesign (place and shift+click) it creates a continouos multipage InDesign file that flows from beginning to end in a chain of text boxes.
Not sure how this is going to end up or where the page breaks are going to be, especially when I start reformatting and resizing the text and inserting images.
What I would like to do after import is to split the 7 sections at section end (so that section 1 is a chain of text frames, section 2 is a chain of text frames etc etc.). That way if I make changes in the first section it isn’t going to have a knock on all the way through the doc to the end.
If I use the Breakframe Applescript that is bundled in the script palette it seems to break the links between every text box. I suppose i could then laboriously go through an relink the boxes in Section 1, Section 2 ext but this seems quite painful.
Is there a way to achieve this? If not what would be good practice to bring the Word Doc in in defined chunks?

You can apply a paragraph style with keep option: On Next Page to each section title, and that will keep every section start on a it's own page even if you make any change.
Another option you can create book document:

How To UPLOAD a DATA (.DAT) fiel from PC to internal table and then split it into the data different columns

Hi all,
I am new to ABAP Development. I need to upload a .DAT file (the file doesn#t have any proper structure-- Please find the .DAT file in the attachment). After uploading the DATA (.DAT) fiel I need to split in into different columns. Refering the attached .DAT fiel the fields in bracets like:
[Arbeitstag], [Pecunia], [Mita], [Kunde], [Auftrag] and [Position] are different fields that need to be arranged in columns in an internal table. this .DAT fiel which I want to upload and then SPLIT it into various fields will will treated as MASTER DATA table for further programming. The program that I had written is as below. Also please refer the attached .DAT table.
Please if any one could help me. i searched a lot in different forums but couldn't find me a solution. Also note that the attached fiel is in text (.txt) format here but in real situation the same fiel is in DATA (.DAT) format.

For every Auftrag, there are multiple Position entries.
Rest of the blocks don't seems to have any relation.
So you can check this code to see how internal table lt_str is built whose first 3 fields have data contained in Auftrag, and next 3 fields have Position data. The structure is flat, assuming that every Position record is related to preceding Auftrag.
Try out this snippet.

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

When i import a word.doc and open on my iPad in Pages, and then later export and reopen as a word.doc on my PC, hyphenation is lost

when i import a word.doc to my iPad in Pages and then, later, export back to my PC as a word.doc, why does hyphenation disappear?

Perhaps it would work better if you use one of the apps specifically designed to interface with MS Word, instead of Pages which has to convert everything in and out.

Is there a way of printing or copy and pasting to a word doc markers

I have a long interview which I have created over 50 markers for various points in the audio. I want to put these into a word doc with timings for easier logging.
Any ideas?

I'm afraid not - development stopped on it about 10 years ago. All you need to do though is copy the wav file, complete with cue list, and find a pc to open it on. Then you can export the cue list as a text file that you should be able to save and open up on a mac, almost certainly. And since there are at least ten times as many PCs as there are Macs, I wouldn't have thought that it would be too difficult to find one...

Stylesheets and applying to imported Word docs. (RHx5)

I've been reading a comments about style sheets, importing Word docs and formatting issues (in regards to importing Word docs and pre-determined styles/bullets/numbering). I also saw that someone was trying to create a css outside of RH and was having issues. This leads me to a couple of questions.
1. When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
2. If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
3. What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky? Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files? Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
4. Can I view the default css and edit it?
I think I have a big problem on my hands. I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats. After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair. I was having the problems he mentioned. I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse. I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal). I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

1] When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
That's the way it is, no option.
2. If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
With the "if you want them identical" proviso, you would only have one CSS but you don't have to have them all identical. That is your call.
3. What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky? Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files? Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
It's not a mistake but if you want to get out of that situation, you need to do some cleaning up. The first step will be to create a CSS that contains all your existing style names, note I say names. Each of your CSS files will have a variety of styles but let's make it easy for this explanation. One has H1, H2, P and P.Note (a class) while another has One has H1, H2, P and P.Warning (a class). Now let's say you have just two topics, one has CSS_1 and one has CSS_2. The H1, H2 and P styles may be the same or different but assuming they are different, you now want them to be the same so what you want is a CSS with H1, H2, P, P.Note and P.Warning. You could then apply that to both topics and all the content would be displayed as defined in CSS_3. Obviously the real task is bigger but the principals are the same.
The way I would tackle it is to create a new CSS and copy in the styles from the biggest of your existing CSS files. Then I would look at the others and copy in any styles that are not already in. That gives you all the style names, albeit with the wrong appearance. Then you start working through the styles to get them right. It is not as bad as it sounds. I recommend using Top Style from http://www.bradsoft.com. There's a free version that only opens one CSS at a time but you can see what you are doing with it. The others can be open in Notepad.
4. Can I view the default css and edit it?
Yes.
I think I have a big problem on my hands. I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats. After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair. I was having the problems he mentioned. I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse. I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal). I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Next time you need input from the SMEs, output to one Word template from RH so that they all have the same appearance. Their job is provide content so the styles are irrelevant to them.
Yes you've got some work but it isn't too massive. Hope this helps.

Need to copy text in e mail and paste to seperate word doc file

Previous to Firefox 4 I could highlight text in body of e mail, select Edit and drop down to copy then minimize screen and select Word Doc file, then paste and print text.
Please advise, Coyote Deb

You have the orange Firefox button?
You can call up the classic menu bar ''temporarily'' by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10. To display the classic menu bar all the time, choose
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
That will replace the orange Firefox button.
Also, you should be able to copy by right-clicking on the selected text and choosing Copy from the pop-up menu. Could be quicker in some cases.

How do I make hearts and symbols disappear from Word Doc converted from pdf?

This is the first time I've tried to convert a document. I am in a new job and I'm stuck. How do I convert pdf to word and not get symbols all over the Word doc?

Appears to be a font related issue.
Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.
Be well...

How can I scan to PDF and then save as Word?

Don't know if the above got through or not.
When I scan in documents do I scan as jpg or tif when I want to convert to PDF then to MS Word?

Hi George,
I think I've answered this another post of yours. The best bet is to go straight from the scanner to a format that Word can read (most scanning software should offer that capability), and cut out the middleman (as much as I love Acrobat, it's not necessary in this case).
Best,
Sara

          fos.close();
          //WriteDocFileOutput.renameTo(new File(inFilePath + "APX-DBEST-" + writeTagName + ".DOC"));
this is the code i hav written...anything wrong in it?...it does not working.

I didn't read your code. But if you want to copy a file, commons has a neat tool for it:
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import java.io.*;
class CommonsFileCopy {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fIn = "CommonsFileCopy.java";
        String fOut = "(copy) CommonsFileCopy.java";
        try {
            InputStream inStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fIn));
            OutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(fOut));
            IOUtils.copy(inStream, outStream);
            System.out.println("Copied \""+fIn+"\" to \""+fOut+"\" successful");
        catch(IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }
}

I type my search words, hit enter and then the search words get deleted so no search is performed what to do?

I open Firefox and then put in the words I wanted to search for. I hit enter and the search words disappeared. I repeated it several times using a variety of search words. Same thing. Restarted the computer, reset Firefox. Still not performing searches.

hello StewartFloyd, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

My 3050 J610 printer goes into standby or sleep mode and then I cannot print docs to it wirelessly

Everytime I do not print something for a few hours, my printer goes into standby or sleep mode. When it does this, it cannot be used to print from my laptop or android to it. Is there a way to set this up so that it doesn't "go to sleep" and it is always available to me to print with. I like the printer, but it seems kind of off that you cannot print on it wirelessly and it is considered a WIRELESS printer. That's the only reason I bought it and now I can't even use it without walking downstairs and turning the printer back on again. If I wanted to do that every time I would just print from my main computer!
Thanks,
Ashley
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, I know this thread is a little old, but it would not allow me to start a new one, since I am new. I am having the same issues with my 3050 J610 as everyone else. It makes you think there is a wireless connection problem, but that is not the case. The printer goes into a standby mode and there is no way to bring it out of it, unless you cycle the printer. The panel buttons will still work, you just lose the ability to print wirelessly.
I have had my 3050 J610 in two different rooms, master bedroom and basement office. Both areas work well when it is connected and awake. After a while of inactivity, it goes into standby mode and cannot print wirelessly. Here are steps I have taken so far:
When the printer goes into standby and will not print wirelessly, I have check to make sure there is still a connection between the router and the printer - There is
I have set a static Id for the printer at .210
Cycling the printer brings the connection back instantly.
The front panel buttons work just fine when it does not have connectivity
In the basement, the machine has excellent signal and connection.
I have checked the recommendations in this thread, and like others, there are no options under the advanced tab of the maintenance page. The problem is a standby or sleep issue. When this arises, it has connection to the router, but the wireless computer does not have connection to the machine. I know when it was in the bedroom, the light would blink 3 or 4 times now and then throughout the night. We need a way to turn off the standby, or bring the machine out of standby mode. It is not an issue of the router, channel, interference, or software. It is the sole issue of standby or sleep modes. I have been pulling my hair out for almost two years over this issue. I swore I would not buy another HP product after the problems I had with a printer and laptop. But I thought I would give HP another chance.

How do I begin with a template and then import a Word document?

I know I can open a word document in pages (I do this all the time). But I have a specific template and I want the word document I open to take up the designed elements of the template. How do I do that?

George
You can import the styles from another document:
+Menu > Format > Import Styles…+
but it will come down to what you need to retain from what.
You can not import layout or elements, so you will have to work out which holds most of what you want and import the styles from one and apply that or copy and paste into the document that contains most of the work.
Don't forget you can use the thumbnails to copy across whole pages/sections.
This is where Pages extremely weak and poorly thought through layout methods fall down. You will not be able to apply the master pages and master page layouts, to existing work, that you can in other DTP software.
