Re: RH8 Import from Word- Table size

This post relates to my previous post about problems when importing a word document into RH8. I imported, then changed the size of all tables in the doc to 100% (as opposed to a specific size setting), and then generated:
In the .htm (Web Help), the text is falling off the page not only in long paragraphs in the tables, but also in any long paragraphs; the bread crumbs are also falling off some long pages.
In the chm , the tables expanded properly, but the text in the tables did not stretch out to fill the extra room in each row. The text is not falling off the screen in either the tables or the regular text.
In the Adobe Air, everything appears correctly, but I would like the search results to appear in the side toc pane, not the main pane.
What settings should I be changing and how. TIA

Both try this, may or may not work, depends on the document.
Create a new project and import the Word document.
Click in a table and go to Table > Table Style and select the table to be applied. Make sure you tick the Clean Styles option.

  • Import from internal table

    Dear Experts,
    I need a solution for importing from an internal table.
    Two variables I_EXP01 and I_EXP02 containing an xml stream have been exported to the database using the following syntax
    and depending on the size of I_EXP01 and I_EXP02 two or more entries are created in table LTEX.
    EXPORT
             L_SAPRL
             I_EXP01
             I_EXP02
    TO    DATABASE LTEX(LT)
                           ID LS_LTEXKEY.
    But now i have a few entries of table LTEX in an internal table and they need to be imported from the internal table.
    What would be the syntax to import from internal table so that after importing I can de-serialise the data from XML to ABAP.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashwini

    Try this and let me know if it works:
    IMPORT
    L_SAPRL
    I_EXP01
    I_EXP02
    To
    L_SAPRL1 (same type as above)
    I_EXP011 (same type as above)
    I_EXP021 (same type as above)
    FROM DATABASE LTEX(LT)
    ID LS_LTEXKEY.
    if it is not working. try using seperate statements for each internal table and see.
    Thanks,
    Venkatesh.

  • Data from word tables to excel master spreadsheet

    Hello, I'm looking to take data from my damage report forms that come in maybe 20 times a week. This data needs to goto a master excel spreadsheet. I've managed to find a macro that does this but it does not paste it into excel the way I require and also
    extracts data I do not require.
    The word document contains a column of headings on the left, these will be the master spreadsheet sheet column headers. These will be on the spreadsheet already so I don't need them copied. 
    The other  two columns contains the data I will need to xfer to excel. I was thinking bookmarks can help here but I'm unsure if these will save over from the original template?
    So,  if there is some code out there that can help, brilliant. It will be an excel macro in the master spreadshee. TThat takestthe datadfrom the active word doc or by selecting the word doc in its folder. 
    Fingers crossed.

    Hi Joseph,
    You should be able to run below code to get the data out of the Tabel(s) of a Word Document from within Excel.
    You can modify the code accordingly to your needs to specify the range where you want the data to be copied.
    I have already slightly modified the code to skip the header information.
    Sub ImportWordTable()
    Dim wdDoc As Object
    Dim wdFileName As Variant
    Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in Word
    Dim iRow As Long 'row index in Excel
    Dim iCol As Integer 'column index in Excel
    wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.docx),*.docx", , _
    "Browse for file containing table to be imported")
    If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)
    Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file
    With wdDoc
    TableNo = wdDoc.tables.Count
    If TableNo = 0 Then
    MsgBox "This document contains no tables", _
    vbExclamation, "Import Word Table"
    ElseIf TableNo > 1 Then
    TableNo = InputBox("This Word document contains " & TableNo & " tables." & vbCrLf & _
    "Enter table number of table to import", "Import Word Table", "1")
    End If
    With .tables(TableNo)
    'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
    ' start with row 2 to skip headers
    For iRow = 2 To .Rows.Count
    For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
    ' Define starting point here
    Cells(iRow - 1, iCol) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)
    Next iCol
    Next iRow
    End With
    End With
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    End Sub

  • Import from Word- all links linking too low down so that bread crumbs don't display

    When I import from Word, all the links being created are linking to the topic title, instead of just to the topic:
    e.g. href="CreateLineOfSight.htm #CreateLineOfSight">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td>
    As a result, whenever the topic is longish, opening the topic from the link displays it with the title at the top of the screen and the breadcrumbs hidden.
    If I change the link to: href="CreateLineOfSight.htm">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td> - without the #link , it opens properly.
    Does anyone know how to import from Word so that it links as I require. And/or how to replace all these links to the topic title with just a link to the (top of the) topic?
    I'm using RoboHelp 8
    Thanks.
    Ayelet

    Hi Ayelet,
                are you converting the TOC generated inside word document itself and is the TOC generated at the TOP of the document ?
    In such a scenario the TOC generated in Word document itself is the reason for this issue as the TOC itself point to that location!
    One more thing to talk about, and that is my personal opninion is that when we move to online medium or even document for any hand held device we should keep our topics short, the reason is that even if we have bread crums those will get autoomatically hidden when we scroll down the topic if the topic is long.
    So I would suggest you
    1. Better do some style mapping to sute your online needs
    2. Paginate the topic on the basis of style (like the one that has been used to generate the TOC) so that you have smaller and manageable/viewable topics
    3. and after pagination Auto-generate the TOC inside RoboHelp after import
    4. Can also generate mini TOC for better navigation, if you map your style to Headings style of RoboHelp and create mini TOC in the topic if it is long in place of the TOC generated in word

  • Import from Word - tab space used with a Word style does not import consistently

    When I import from Word using RH 10 (but this has been the case with all versions of RH that I've used) the import messes up my tab spacing in my Note style. To clarify: The Note style in my Word document has the word Note followed by a tab space and then the content of the Note. When I import a Word doc to RH, the conversion of this tab space is inconsistent (from 4-6 spaces) - it seems to depend on the length of the note and whether it continued onto a second line in the word document. Is there any solution to this? TIA.

    Simply that plans change at this time of year.
    I got exactly the same result and at first I wondered if it was because the document had tracked changes in it. I have seen that cause problems in the past and always recommend accepting them, in a copy document if you don't want to lose the tracking.
    Accepting the changes made no difference and I would say this is a bug. Fortunately though there is a workaround that may be acceptable. Quite simply, add a full stop (period) or some other character after the number. A space will not work.

  • Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word

    Hi there,
    I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
    I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
    The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
    I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
    I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
    I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

    Ah great, it worked!
    A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
    Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

  • How do I selectively  convert check boxes (Alt0168 Wingdings) but NOT Bookmarks into editable fields (from Word table)

    Acrobat X (Windows) is converting all fields from the Word table - making even the imported bookmarks editable. We just want the check boxes interactive. This has to be done on a large volume of documents, so it needs to be automated. I suspect some coding will be involved or perhaps a 3rd party app that allows one to selectively convert fields.
    Thanks!

    Ok, I found out that I need to apply the patch 5746875 to have that. But there only instruction to apply this patch on unix env. I need on Windows. Can any body help me?

  • Bad image quality when importing from word

    When importing from MS Word 2003 to RH X5.0.2, embedded
    images are converted to jpg whith an obviously quite moderate
    compression qulity. This is particularly evident for screenshots.
    Is there a way to improve the image quality?

    Peter , these images were copied and pasted directly in to
    the Word-document (using the Print Screen button) but I did find
    out something. RoboHelp generates two image files of the types PNG
    and JPG for each Word image (named, e.g., image102.png and
    image103.jpg). Regretably, the lesser quality JPG is always
    referenced in the topics instead of the much better PNG. Sometimes
    the two images greately differ in size (pixel size), but most of
    the time they are about the same size.
    So the task might be to change the references in all topics
    using a script and then manually checking the images for their
    size.
    An observation: Any GIF images in the Word file (i.e., real
    *.gif files that were inserted over the Insert menue) remain GIF
    files after the import, they are not converted and maintain a good
    quality.

  • Importing from word - Headings not spliting like in RB7

    I used RH7 to import a Word document user manual. RH7 was able to split the large documents into useable pieces at the headings. In RH 8, I can only get it to import the whole document. The requirments are for the table of contents to link to specific areas in the document defined with headings down to and including level 4. We need to eliminate as much scrolling for the user as possible.

    For some reason I don't follow the settings are not invoked by the import routine. You have to go to Project Settings. You set them by clicking the Edit button there and that applies to future imports.
    Notwithstanding that there is an Export button, you cannot save different settings and browse to the required settings next time! That is only for Linking.
    You might want to suggest some changes here.

  • Images not importing from Word doc

    SORRY MODS - Accidently posted this in the HTML Help forum
    I'm having trouble getting my images placed in a Word
    document to import ito my project. I have RoboHelp 2002 and first
    experienced the problem there, thought I'd try the upgrade to see
    if that fixes the problem. It did fix my step numbering problems
    (all steps were numbered Step 1), but the image import problem
    remains. The images are .jpg images and most were placed in Word
    using Insert Image. Some were just copied and pasted. Regardess of
    how the images were included in the doc, none come through in an
    import. Am I doing somethig wrong? I've tried importing it as a
    Word 2000 and a Word 2003 doc with no luck.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Mike

    I had the same issue and could get no good advice on how to
    fix it. What I finally did was take the embedded images from the
    Word doc and save them in another location. I then inserted them
    back into RoboHelp after I imported the Word doc. It's a little
    tedious, but it worked.

  • Chinese & English Text imported from Word

    Hi,
    I have been having many issues of late importing Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Arabic text in to InDesign.
    I have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
    I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
    If this is the case, what is a font I can use within Mac Word, that will be recognised by InDesign and then apply my styling when importing.
    Any advice on this issue would be great,
    Thanks
    Steve

    I have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
    Our entire workflow is built around placing translator's Word docs into InDesign. In my experience, you can either struggle with this at length and maybe never succeed, or you can simply get used to clearing overrides after placing styled Word text.
    If you for some reason can't just place, select all, and clear overrides, then there are many possible issues you can chase after:
    Style naming - do any of your styles in ID have the same names as built-in styles in Word?
    Style inheritance - are any of your styles in either app based on other styles? This can cause overrides quite easily
    Character styles - are there any applied?
    Font naming conventions:
    I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
    This happens to me all the time when using fonts with localized font names. Also when paragraph styles in Word have bold or italics applied to fonts that have no bold or italic faces (i.e. Chinese fonts in Word will often get fake bolds or italics applied).
    That is just a brief sampling of the difficulties inherent in placing multilingual text in Word/RTF into InDesign. Word import is simply troublesome in ID - my solution is simply to map a keyboard shortcut to Clear Overrides, and to use some scripting to clean up imported Word files.

  • BGP Support for IP Prefix Import from Global Table into a VRF Table

    Hi,
    is any ever tried this. When i uses a such a route-map for import ipv4 prefix from the global route table, it also filters the ipv4 prefix'es from the vrf route table. So I lost vrf routes from the other routers. I have tried to allow wiht a extcommunity list but I didnt worked. Is this a bug or am I missing something.

    Hi Tarj,
    First of all, i'd recommend you to start a new thread in case you have your own problem to solve, unless your problem is related to the original post.
    As for you question, what you have described is the exact behavior of a service provider with a MPLS backbone, it is a BGP free core, the P routers need not run BGP, since the PE routers will have LSP tunnels using label switching over the backbone and the P routers will just do label swapping and not IP lookups, accordingly the P routers needs not learn the BGP routes, but however you need all the routers (PEs and Ps) to run an IGP in order to be able to build the forwarding plane tables.
    I hope that i've been informative.

  • Roman numerals not importing from Word

    The last page of my document uses roman numerals in the footnotes. The Roman numerals show up in the word document, but turn into regular numbers when imported or copied inot Indesign. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get the roman numerals into Indesign?

  • Footnotes - Some not importing from Word.

    Hello, using CS6 here.
    I am currently designing a 400 page book using a fully formatted Word file. I am importing the file into InDesign and setting all of the options properly—however after chapter 4 the footnotes disappear and are no longer in the imported text.
    Chapters 1 thru 2 have the footnotes imported perfectly.
    Any idea why this is happening? It is very frustrating and I am on a tight deadline.
    Please help!

    thank you, peter. i tried that, as i do have CS2 on my computer. now there are new problems:
    1. When importing the complete file into CS2 it only imports half and for some reason the rest doesn't import...
    2. I tried importing the other formats into CS6 and it crashes every time, now...
    Frustrating...

  • How do I import from word

    Trying to copy and paste from word

    You will need to convert the file so it appears something like this:
    LastName<tab>FirstName<tab>Address<tab>City<tab>State<tab>Zip
    Aalberg<tab>The<tab>3451 Avon Way<tab>Burbank<tab>CA<tab>91564
    Jones<tab>Sam<tab>11112 First Ave. NW<tab>Atlanta<tab>GA<tab>30022
    The above is the general format required. The typical way of doing address labels in Word is to create a mailmerge database that would be formatted like the above. Then you create a mailmerge document in which the fieldnames on the top line of the database are inserted in the desired format. You then create the output file by doing a mailmerge. Apparently you are doing it the brute-force way.
    I hope this makes it clearer for you.
