Rotated text problem from Word picture into Framemaker 12

problem copying a Microsoft Word picture with rotated text into Framemaker - the rotated text gets stacked (each letter is individually rotated)

It's probably due to how Word defines the rotations for the text and FM's import filters handle it differently. It might be easier to re-create the words in FM if it's not too complex. Alternatively, save the page with the graphics from Word as PDF and then import the graphic from the PDF to FM (you can crop and/or trim as needed in Acrobat).

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

How do I get a raw image from "My Pictures" into Photoshop?

How do I get a RAW image from "My Pictures" into Photoshop? When I send it to Photoshop , it shows up as a grey checkerboard. The title is on the top. Whe I try to send a picture from Camera Raw, it does the same thing.

Has it ever worked or is this just something that started happening recently?
Have you tried resetting the photoshop preferences file?

Have you installed the latest updates for photoshop cs5?
In photoshop cs5 go to Help>Updates
To post the system info here on the forum it might depend on your browser, but using firefox as an example, you would open the system info in photoshop, press Copy then OK.
Here on the forum you would press the ctrl key and paste.

Copy text from Word '03 into RH9

I need to copy text from Word into RH in a way that does not bring in the Word codes. I can obviously copy the text into notepad and then into RH, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it that would be similar to the "Paste Special / Unformatted Text" command in Word?
We cannot have the word codes in RH because we translate our user manuals and then use the translated UM text to gain discounts when we translated the html help files. These codes throw off the matching and cause us to gain hardly any discounts. Even simple formatting, like a bolded word puts in the word codes into the html code. I made the mistake of thinking if I unbold the word in RH then everything is fine, but little did I know the Word code was still in the HTML.
I appreciate your help.
Also, I am open to suggestions on a better way to get my Word text into RH to be help. I've started looking into Importing and Linking, but haven't figured out if they would be all that beneficial to us.

How to import yellowed market text passages from word to indesign????

Dear friends,
in my word - very long draft for a PhD-Dissertation, I have marked everything yellow that is not finished yet. Now I changed from word 2007 to indesign (CS 5 - mac) as I had some problems with word. My question is how I can import my yellow marked passages into indesign.The Importation of documents is not a problem,my only problem is, that the color is gone then. It would be a huge work to color the passages again individually,. THANK YOU for your help.
Best Jörg

Those colored backgrounds don't translate into anything in InDesign -- the function simply does not exist.
Use Find & Replace to replace it with something else in Word that *does* import (colored text or something), then change it again in InDesign to a custom underline.

Automatic update from Word source into Indesign

Hi I have followed all threats and cannot seem to find a solution to my query.
I have to complete a 280page annual report within a very short period of time. Based on the client it seems that there will be multiple changes on content after layout is completed. Is it possible to import the Word docuement into Indesign and when the client makes changes in the original Word docuement the changes are affected directly in Indesign?
I had a look at the XML options and discussions but being a lyout designer the explenations of tags etc mean zero.
Obvioulsy I would re-edit stylesheets and layout styles in Indesign but would ideally then like to export the content / link the content to the original file so that the client can make changes in Word and I do not have to manually re-layout pages or make changes from proofs.
Please can someone indicate whether this is at all possible and wether you have to have knowledge of scriptig etc should it be possible.
VERY URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE.

In the Preferences, you can select to treat a placed Text document just like an image: you get a link in your Links palette, and if the original file is modified, you can "update" it just like an images.
However: the text will re-import just like it did the very first time -- including the formatting of the text. If you formatted the text in InDesign, that will be lost. A very rigid workflow is the solution in that case: if your editor uses Word Styles, and he did so consequent and correct, you can automatically have them mapped to your styles in the InDesign document. You can actually help your editor getting the good styles by exporting your text to RTF, so he can work on it and then return the document.
Try before you fly.

Importing tables from Word 2003 into Robohelp for word ^

Does anyone know how to import tables and boxex from Word
2003 nicely into Robohelp 6

You can capture the table from your original word.doc and
save the image as either a bmp or gif file. In robohelp, insert the
picture where you want it to be located at. Have the table act as
an image.

Problem converting Word '07 into Frame

I have a document that needs to go into Frame. I have tried opening the .docx file with frame maker, as has been suggested on other websites, and the document opened with no formatting and the majority of the information missing. Is there a way to open the word document, while retaining the formatting, into Frame for editing?

Because you don't supply any details of your Frame install, it's hard to be specific with recommendations.
You may want to follow up on those "other websites" to find out how they did it.
But in general terms without knowing what version you're working with, the usually preferred method is to, from Word, SaveAs .rtf and open the .rtf in Frame.
You may also be able to copy in Word and then Paste Special as RTF in Frame.
In either case, plan on saving the FM file as MIF to remove hidden Word characters that can cause problems later.
Then open the MIF file, save that as FM and go on...

Issues importing text in from Word.

I have just learned how to place text from Word into InDesign, more importantly how to flow the text on multiple pages. However, the word document I have was created by someone else and from what I can tell each “column” on each page are individual text boxes, furthermore each new line has been “returned/entered” from the last to create a column. I can’t imagine why the maker of this document didn’t use the column button but is there any way that I can smoothly transfer this information?! Currently I am copy/pasting into a new document to have a running text then will go back and delete all the enter/returns.
Basically, I am trying to take one entire book from word and drop it into indesign...
Thanks!

Importing a badly written Word document will result in a bad InDesign document ...
To quickly change all hard returns, you can select these lines and do a Find/Replace. In the Find What field, enter the code for a hard return: ^p (it's a code, rather than pressing the Return key).
In the Replace With field, enter a single space. Make sure the search scope dropdown at the bottom is set to "Selection", then hit "Change all". You wouldn't want to change all hard returns in your entire document into spaces!
To finish this off, you might want to search for a double space and replace with a single space. Repeat until ID reports "No changes made".

Importing a second Index from Word 2010 into InDesign CC

I am working on a 1000 page book. It was imported from Word 2010. Things imported messy but I am cleaning it up. The second index imported as text but did not attach to the reference in the text. The Index worked as did the table of contents. What can I do and how do I work with this. I have never had this kind of a situation.
Thanks

Make sure to open the track changes dialog and accept the changes, then do a Save As to rewrite the file.

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.

Aligning rotated text away from spine

I am creating a directory which rotated text towards the edge of the page. This is so that people can thumb through it and quickly get to their section of interest. When I insert a page, the edge becomes spine. I need the text box to automatically turn 180 and move towards the edge. Is this possible?

If I'm understanding you, you can cause such a frame stay away from the spine if you make it an anchored object which is anchored to the text which includes the faculty email. In Object > Anchored Object Options, you need to choose the Relative to Spine option. I made the text of the faculty page red to see what happens when a page is added. Here's the way it's created. You can see where it's anchored because I turned on View > Extras > Show Text Threads. The frame is anchored at the beginning of a paragraph.
After adding a page the anchored object stays away from the spine:
However, I think you'd have to manually rotate the frame (unless it could be done with a script). The text frame is oriented in the same direction on both left and right pages.

Loading multiple text files from a folder into oracle clob field

I would like to load about 300 word documents into a oracle clob field with each document inserted as a separate record.
I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this. Is there a utility in oracle that would do this?
I've looked at sql loader and utl_file but both require the name of the file. Is there a way I can do this?
If its not possible using just oracle, does anyone know how I can do this in combination with perl?
Many Thanks
Sam

I have no experience with this, but pl see if MOS Doc 73787.1 (How to Read A Binary File into BLOB Using PL/SQL) can help.
Essentially, you will have to write code to loop thru all 300 files to load them into the database

Copying TEXT column from flat file into SQL results in empty fields....

I'm copying TEXT column from SQL to Flat file (ragged right fixed width) - DT_TEXT. It copies fine and I''ve checked the output file. Now, while trying to copy the flat file to sql server in another system. I find all the fields are empty.
When I preview the source from flatfile, I see all the entries there. But it copies other fields but the field with DT_TEXT is empty.
This is when I preview
SQL Table output
Any help will be helpful!!!

Hi, I'm not sure If I'm understanding what you're saying. The data got copied from SQL to Flat file. I've double checked the flat file and I see the DT_TEXT data there. The size of file also gives an indication that there's existence of TEXT Data
But, when I copy that data back to sql again (which I can also preview before the load), The DT_TEXT values goes missing. Same when I copy to Excel as CSV or as a Flat file. I don't see text data.
The TEXT data resides on the first output. But when I try to extract to other format from that output, it doesn't come out.

Place text from Word 2004 into ID CS3

I was using Pagemaker 7 for a newsletter for the past few years and was placing Word documents with tags for various text styles. These imported and were set in the tagged styles and no changes in text format were necessary. I have now not been able to place the files into PM7 as it says there are no filters found for the operation. I assume this is from updating the Word 2004. I have moved the newsletter template to IDI have tried to do the same thing into a newsletter template in ID CS3 but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the tags are correct, if there is a problem in my selection or if it can't be done in ID which for all the bells and whistles is a step backwards from PM7. Could someone please help with this? Thank you

Just figured a bit out that seems to work. You are right about the plain text. I saved the file in "Text Edit" as .txt. You are also right in that the first line needs to describe the format. That works with<ASCII-MAC>. Using this, I placed the document into ID just as it was exported. Also there needs to be a <ParaStyle:Normal> in the blank lines between paragraphs to hold the proper space otherwise that space is determined by the size of the text preceeding the space. Now if we can make it work with Word saved as .txt then things will be a great deal simpler.
<ASCII-MAC>
<ParaStyle:Headline>If you haven’t been in the museum lately, you should come in and see our Museum Gallery.

<ParaStyle:Subhead 1>We now have on exhibit a number of Portraits from our collection.

<ParaStyle:Personal>Perhaps you would recognize someone in the portrait. We would love to have the information. We have many new and exciting changes in the museum. There is new paint everywhere. Still a lot to do but much has been done. It is so much brighter and cleaner appearing.

<ParaStyle:Caption>I like working in the museum to help with the setup of new exhibits. We have one now on Main Street that contains a number of hats and some history of hats. I love doing the research for the exhibits and finding much information that I didn’t know before. I enjoy helping visitors with their research also. It is very rewarding to be able too help people find things from our files. We have a lot of history in the museum.
<ParaStyle:Normal>
<ParaStyle:Caption>We have many artifacts and the collection is constantly growing. We have a large collection of 45 records, 78 records, old wire recordings and wax music rolls. There is a large collection of clothes and many hats, both men’s and women’s, from many time periods.

<ParaStyle:NSText>I enjoy working with the Community Service people. They have been so much help. We could not have made the progress that we have without them. Come and see for yourself and enjoy the experience that I have enjoyed. See ya there!
