SAP - MS Word 2000 (missing form fields)

Hi,
I designed a report to download quality notification data into MS Word.
I use MS Word 2003 on my laptop. The users have MS Word 2000.
Steps that I followed :
1. Create a template using program SAPRDEMO_FORM_INTERFACE
2. Save the template on your desktop.
3. Upload the Template into BOR using TCode OAER.
4. Write a report to get the form open in Word & then populate the fields created with the data from the program.
The ZProgram has the following logic :
1. Create instance for BDS
2. Get Document info
3. Get Document URL
4. Set application type.
5. Open Word Document
6. Check Form interface
7. Get the Form interface
8. Get the Form variables
9. Fetch data from R/3 & populate the structures
10. Pass the variables to the Form Interface.
Steps 1-9 are done. The problem occurs in step 10. Using MS Word 2003, I am able to pass all data from R/3 to the respective fields in the form. But using MS Word 2000, users are getting few fields and some are missed. I got MS Office 2000 installed on one of our machines. The problem I face is none of the fields are getting populated in step 10.
Please suggest if MS Word 2000 form interface is compatible with SAP 4.6C.
Thanks,
Mahi

Hi Anil,
There is no specific Error Message.
The Fields in the Word document 2000 are not getting populated appropriately from the program.
The Method as shown below is getting executed successfully but values are not getting properly passed to the fields in the Word Document 2000.
This is not the case with MS Word 2003. All fields' data is getting accurately populated.
*Check form interface
  CALL METHOD document->has_form_interface
       IMPORTING
               is_available = v_has.
*Get form interface
  IF NOT v_has IS INITIAL.
    CALL METHOD document->get_form_interface
        IMPORTING
                f_interface = handle.
    IF NOT handle IS INITIAL.
      CALL METHOD handle->protect EXPORTING protect = ' '.
*Get form variables      .
      CALL METHOD handle->get_data
                 EXPORTING all = 'X'
                 IMPORTING fields = it_tabel1.
      PERFORM get_data.
*Pass variables to Form interface
      CALL METHOD handle->set_data
       EXPORTING fields = it_tabel2
                 clear = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
This method in Italicized code is getting executed successfully but values are not getting passed to the MSWord2000 Document.
I tried all the 3 document types as mentioed in SOI type group.
           SOI_DOCTYPE_WORD_DOCUMENT(13) TYPE C
                                              VALUE 'Word.Document',
           SOI_DOCTYPE_WORD95_DOCUMENT(15) TYPE C
                                              VALUE 'Word.Document.6',
           SOI_DOCTYPE_WORD97_DOCUMENT(15) TYPE C
                                              VALUE 'Word.Document.8'.
No positive result.
Please let me know if anything else is requried for your analysis/help.

  • Link/RE-link to word docs with form fields?

    Trying something new, and when I took the InDesign 2 day class the instructor was not very familiar with linking to word docs, she just never used the feature.
    So, I have multiple contributors who will onlly work in word. I am trying to set up a template/form for them to fill in that I can link to my .indt.
    I have the styles set up and matching, and I'm looking for a way that I can lock everything but the areas where they need to fill in information. My plan is to do this by making a form in Word with text fields. Will this transfer over to the InDesign file when I relink? If not what is an alternative solution using Word with out having to copy and past all the time ?

    Ohhh k.
    OK Yes this is possible.
    I do mean for it to link, the content is dynamic I need the technical people to be able to edit content before I get it. The point is to have multiple contributors working in word (absolutely must be word), creating new content that can be fed into indesign relatively automatically while preserving the InDesigns styles applied to certain text frames.
    It does need to link back to get content updates so I have this option turned on in the general preferences to allow this.
    The word documet is set up, as follows:
    Form fields are created, along with their respective titles or headings. A style/structure element is applied. The style doesn't have to match what is in indesign but it is helpful.
    Click the text box and got to "Place"
    Select the document and select the "Show Import Options"
    Under import options select "Preserve Styles and formatting..." Then Select the "Customize Style Import" radial and click style mapping. I tried doesn't this with the Automatic Import and it didn't work properly, custom mapping will identify the right information to style while overiding the actual style information from Word and instead uses the InDesign Style.
    So... not necessarily a job for InCopy, though I realize that would be better, working in for a Microsoft Partner Network Gold Certified Partner, it would be impossible to get everyone to switch over to InCopy.

  • Microsoft Word 2007 Text Form Fields: Cannot limit characters

    Hi there,
    Thank you very much for taking the time to check this post out.
    I know that someone had already put a similar question up (a few years ago) and it got resolved, but there was no information as to how the fix was applied or what went wrong with the document, so that is why I am posting this problem now :)
    On page 2 of the document (Sample file
    ) under the headings of:
    Identified Hazards
    Control Method
    Review Responsibility
    the form field will not limit the number of characters although it has been stipulated in the Text From Field Options , the result being, when I put the template under protection
    for data input, the spacings change or I get to the end of the line and some of the previous typed text disappears.
    Surely there should be some fix out there, or an explanation of why it doesn't work (? corrupted document?).
    I'd be most grateful for any assistance you provide.
    Cheers,
    TheShyButterfly
    Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

    Thank you to all for your responses :)
    I also tried changing the font type .... as I found this article, which really made me understand how the different font types have different character widths within the same font and how that impacts on the number of character you want to limit to.
    The link is
    Word Tips by Allen Wyatt and there he advises that one of the most
    Extract:
    "For instance, if you don't want your field to wrap to the next line, then you need to set a maximum length guaranteed to fit on a single line. Calculating such a length can be difficult, particularly if you are using a proportional font. For this reason,
    some people like to set the font of their fields to a monospace font, such as Courier; it makes calculating field lengths easier."
    Also from Wikipedia,
    Monospaced fonts which explains how 'size' actually matters :).
    I just thought I'd share what I have found as this appears to have resolved my problem. (It just took some time to discover it ) ...

  • Converting a Word document with form fields to become a form fillable PDF file with email

    We are trying to convert a number of word(97,and 2000) documents but it never works correctly. The converted PDF file is missing fields and the fields it does convert is one character long. The idea was to have LiveCycle just convert it without anyone having the need to re-design it. They would only need to add a submit button and an email address to the PDF form. Is there something we are missing?

    For the problem of submitting by email and still submitting a PDF file:
    The stock "Submit by Email" button submits via XML. I think you can do one of two things to get it to work:
    1) Use a regular "Button" instead of an "Email Submit Button". Set it's type to "Submit" in the Field tab; then on the Submit tab, use something like "mailto:name@company" for your email address in the Submit To URL box, and set the Submit As type to PDF.
    2) Change the XML for your Email Submit button (in the XML Source view): You'll find something like,
    <event name="event__click" activity="click">
    <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:name@company"/>
    </event>
    Change it to:
    <event activity="click" name="event__click">
    <submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" target="mailto:name@company"/>
    </event>
    I don't know if you need to change just the "Submit format" in the XML, or also add the xdpContent tag.
    Hope that works,
    Mike

  • Is there a way to shift fields down or remodify document in Word without losing form fields?

    I have a document that I created from Word and added in forms and fields in Acrobat. I now need to shift some fields down to make more space on the page and also adjust widths on some tables. Is there a way to do this easily in Acrobat? If not, is it possible to some how go back into Word (with some sort of link) and make these changes without losing all my fields/formulas/etc.?
    I am not using Forms Central because I have calculations in my form.
    Thank you in advance!

    I am having trouble finding (Document -> Replace Pages). I did find Layers in Navigation but I do not see any. Do I not have any layers in my PDF? I opened a Word Document in Adobe Acrobat Pro and proceeded to add my fields and formulas in the document. Shouldn't this automatically create a layer ontop of the content?  Sorry for all the questions, I am pretty new with Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks!

  • Microsoft Word Form Fields and Adobe Acrobat X

         Using a Microsoft Word document where form fields are protected - if you save in Adobe Acrobat X -  - you only see your changes - all the old data is lost. 
    Acrobat does not seem to have a solution.

    You have the option to print the Word form and data to a PDF.
    You have the option to use OOO.org, that export to PDF forms.
    If you are talking about updating the content of the form and not the fields, create a new PDF under a different name and then replace the PDF page in the PDF.

  • Control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office

    Hi all,
    Happy New Year!
    I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".
    Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Boris,
    The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.
    Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

  • Can a change be made to the original Word document without losing form fields in a saved PDF form?

    I have a new fillable form created with Acrobat 9 that has 10 pages of fields on it. I noticed a typo in the original Word doc I created the form from and wondered if there is anyway to make changes in the source document without having to recreate all fields again.
    Thanks!
    Frank

    Yes, just create a new PDF and replace the pages of the old one that has the form fields with the pages from the new: Document > Replace Pages
    Any fields, code, bookmarks, links, etc. will be retained.

  • Form Field in word forms to be exported to pdf form

    Dear all,
    Within our company, all templates for documents are existing in word .doc format and will be edited in word as well.
    I would like to add a form field within these word  templates which will be recognised by Acrobat 8 Pro automatically as a form field for a digital signature.
    I would like to do this within the word form, because I don't want to add the numerous (up to 10) signature fields manually with the Acrobat form
    each time I export this file to .pdf.
    This is necessary in order to certify a document with a visible signature and to allow more colleagues to sign this document as well after my certification.
    Does someone know a workaround or even a solution?
    Thanks in advance!
       Matt

    The auto field wizard does not catch all fields or types of fields (signature is one of them), does not keep exclusionary groups, and does not add the optional values. The wizard can have a hard time recognizing check boxes and radio buttons.
    So even after you run the wizard there is a lot of manual clean up to perform. I just find it easier to create the form fields as needed. I also use a lot of field naming for automation processing of groups of fields.
    Open Office does not do signature, but it keeps the options for combo/drop downs and radio buttons/check boxes.

  • InDesign CS6, Formulare - Wortzahl für ein Feld definieren / Define word count for a form field

    Ich habe folgende Frage: Ist es mit inDesign CS6 möglich, ein interaktives PDF zu kreieren, in dem die zulässige Wortzahl in einem Feld genau definiert wird?
    Im speziellen Fall möchte ich ein Eingabefeld auf eine DIN A4 Seite setzen, welches exakt 350 Wörter erfordert, um die Seite druckbar zu machen... Mehr Wörter sollten nicht eingegeben werden können und sollten es weniger sein, ist ein Drucken nicht möglich...
    I have the following question: Does InDesign CS6 offer am option to create an interactive PDF with a text/form field which allows ONLY a defined number of words?
    In this particular case I would like to create a DIN A4 page with a file dwhich allows for exactly 350 words to make the document printable. If one put's in less than 350 printing should be disallowed and at the same time it should be impossible to type more than the allowed number of words.

    Hi Steve!
    Thanks to a google search I have managed to solve the issue flawlessly
    Look  at this little java script:
    var val = event.value + event.change,
    matches = val.match(/\b[\w\-\']+\b/g),
    count = matches.length;
    this.getField("charCount").value = count;
    if (count > 90) { app.alert("You have exceeded the maximum of 90 words for this text field.") }
    1. This script needs to be inserted under Properties/Format/Custom/Custom Key Stroke Script.
    2. One creates a second fiield namend charCount to display the word count.
    Voila! The text field will pop up a warning if the allowed maximum word count is exceeded and it will display the word count in the extra field

  • Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

    I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
    When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
    What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
    So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
    Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
    I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
    Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Auto-Detect Form Fields from Word 2007

    LiveCycle 8.x fails to detect form fields from form documents I've created in Word 2007. I also notice that Word 2007 documents saved as Word 2003 documents do not convert the text fields either (text fields static).
    Is LiveCycle 8.x compatible with Office 2007 or does it depend on the conversion from 2007 (.docx format) to 2003 (.doc format) before creating the PDF then detecting and placing the fields?

    I could tell it not to run in Acrobat 9 but can’t figure out how to do that in version 11. When I use the Create Form command, I get a series of windows that guide me through the process of creating the form. Unlike Acrobat 9, none of those windows includes an option for not running auto detect. At the end of the process, the form is created with fields. The only solution seems to be to let Acrobat create the fields, and then delete them all and manually create the fields I want. Thanks for your feedback.

  • Identifying form fields automatically when word doc is imported

    Hi
    I am trying to convert a word document template to a PDF template using Adobe Live Cycle. There are 7 tables in the Word document. I saved the doc as PDF using Word. When i imported the PDF into the Live Cycle Designer, the form fields ( table rows and cells) are not being identified. All are kind of static text.
    However, when i opened the same PDF in Acrobat Pro, i was able to identify the form fields ( using Form > edit fields option).
    Is there something similar available in Live Cycle Designer. Can the LCD identify form fields automatically.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks and regards
    Ram

    I don't believe this functionality is built into LiveCycle Designer. However, you can start your form in Acrobat (Acroform) then import the PDF into LiveCycle. Keep in mind this is a one way process.

  • Word form  to pdf form fields conversion

    Does anyone have any expereince with converting form Word
    form with active
    x controls to pdf form fields - any help would be appreciated
    Ann Steer

    No. What you can do, though, is after you edit your file create a new static PDF from it, open your old PDF and then use the Replace Pages command, selecting the new PDF file as the one to insert. This will replace the underlying PDF content while keeping all the form fields in tact. You then might need to adjust them a bit, but it's much less work then re-doing the entire form.
