SmartForm & MS Word

Hello,
I need to download a smarform in msword format (.doc or .rtf).
I know functions to download to .pdf format that works ok.
Also functions to make several task with ms word files, but only works in a flat list. if the smatform contains windows or logos, the function catch the "NOT_ABAP_LIST" exception.
I hope you'll understand my english and gratefull any suggestion.
Thanks.

Hi Luis,
I m sure but just try what i m saying .... Actually I m on leave and dont have access to system henced can't check this and tell you .. try this and se whether its working or not..
1. From the smartform you have got the function module created by SAP right..
 and you are calling this function module in you ABAP program..
2. Now one of the the output parameter of this function module will be output_info.
 From this you will get the OTF data for your smartform..
3. Now pass this OTF data to function module CONVERT_OTF and in the
 call of this func mod.pass format as 'DOC' (check if we can pass this ) this will
 convert our OTF data to DOC format..
4. Now make use of GUI_DOWNLOAD func mod. to download the data to
 presentation system...
I guess this should work ... let me know if you have any prob in this..
Enjoy SAP.

By using FM RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB you will be able to get the ASCII text of your Spool, which you can download to your local HD and open with M$ Word.
Check the function module

all.

Download Smartform to word file

Hi ,
How to download a smartform to word file . Any help will be useful to me
Regards,
Jeeva

Hi,
You can use the function module 'CONVERT_OTF', here the output will be downloaded as PDF with all background pictures and formats but if u download in DOC format all the formatting and background pictures will be lost.
But we can convert the pdf output to word by a third party solution. Use SolidConverter. Version 1 is free.
Otherwise:
In transaction SMARTFORMS, use in menu UTILITIES point DOWNLOAD FORM.
But the Download utility in Tx. SMARTFORM is NOT available in SAP 46C.
You can use program RSTXSCRP (SAPscript Export to Dataset / SAPscript Import from Dataset) to do this for SAPSCRIPTS.

Anjali.

Truble with smartforms with word

Hello All.
i have a trouble with smartforms when I creat text , the smartforms open word page and the paragraph i was created within style did'nt show.
Note.
I have Office 2007
<MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Sep 1, 2008 4:54 PM

Hi
If you dont want MS word in your smartform text deactivate it in tcode:i18N
i18n customizing -->click on MS word as editor uncheck the checkbox of sapscripts and smartforms.
Then come back to your smartforms and then include your smartstyles in smartforms.
or
Incase if you want to include smartstyle in the smartforms.
Then output options tab include your smartstyle.

Convert Smartform to WORD by OLE

I developed a quotation form with smartforms and now I'm working hard to convert this form to a WORD document by OLE
I'm in trouble because it works quite fine in WORD 2000 but it doesn't work with WORD 97. I implemented the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value to get the WORD version from frontend but I can't find out what the diefference is. Macros look similar in both versions.
Has anybody got an idea what the difference is ?
Thanks in advance, Ulrike

Hi Ulrike,
as an alternative way, you can try CONVERT_TEXT function.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/d6/0dba8f494511d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
In DOI approach,
do you succeded in converting TABLES to word format?
As I know, unfortunately there are limited number of tools in abap for such conversion.

Smartform output in word document

hi all,
how to download a smartform in word document so that the user can make changes in it. i tried converting the output into OTF format but formatting is not coming properly.how to overcome this?

Hi,
Even i had the same requirement for a sales order form to download in word and then change it manually before sending to customer. I tried a lot of ways to do the same and finally raised a sap noted for the same.i got a reply from SAP that it is not possible to download forms in word with same allignments maintained with logo. SAP note 641560 says the same thing.
All you need to do is find a technical solution to fill the data which they want to fill maually or go for adobe form. Thats amazing technology to solve your issue.

Word Format of Smart Forms Output

Hi,
We want the Smart Form output in DOC format. If we are using the function module 'CONVERT_OTF', the output is perfect when downloaded as PDF with all background pictures and formats but when we are downloading in DOC format all the formatting and background pictures are absent.But we need all formatting options like boxes, fonts and background pictures in the downloaded DOC format.
If any of you have worked on the same please reply
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there is no way to convert the smartform into word, without loosing the format and pictures.
But you may convert the pdf output to word by a third party solution. Use SolidConverter. Version 1 is free and it is the best converter I have seen.
If it helps please give points.

Smartforms : split lines

Hi Gurus,
Trying to find help on the forums, I didn't find solution to my problem.
The issue is the following : when editing PO in smartforms, last word of the header text is cut in the middle.
How can I avoid the last word of a line to be cut into 2 parts when passing to next line ?
Thanks much in advance.
Regards.

Hi friend,
Try giving continuous text to format the text in text editor. If this solves your problem then you can use character formats from smartstyles to format the text inside the displaying portion. Otherwise try increasing the width, so then all text can be accompanied in that divided portion itself.
Cheers...
