Table data in html from word doc

I have a nice looking invoice word doc I would like to use to make a apex report. The word doc has a table with all the numeric data for the invoice, pretty simple. I saved the word doc as html and used a program to strip all the excess html. I put the html into a apex report as a html region and it looks perfect. What is the best way to get SQL data into the html table in the region.
Do I have to create a SQL region and then put the html data into the header and footer, am I missing something simple?
Thanks

794181,
I'd take the HTML and use it as the framework for a named column template. This will allow you to put the data from your query in to the exact spots it needs to go.
To make a named column template, go to shared components, templates, create, report; for "Template Type:", select "Named Column (row template)".
Named column templates are fairly easy to set up, but that also seems to mean that it's hard to find documentation for them. Basically, define your query, and then use #<COLUMN_NAME># in your HTML, replacing <COLUMN_NAME> with the actual names of the columns from your query.
Oh, and generally, you won't want to set up a column heading template in your named column template--I almost always just fill in Row Template 1, Before Rows, and After Rows.

Remove Header and footer from Word Docs

Is it possible to remove the header/footer from Word docs?
The html output from ctx_doc.markup gets the header/footer and (specialy)page numbers all messed up.

thanks

Please define 'messed up'. I'll reproduce here and then try to find a cause/solution. I checked a couple of other forums and Metalink with no good discussion on the topic.

How to fix the size of table data in html

I want to fix the size of table data in html. ie if i want to insert only 50 char in a <td> field then it contain only 50 character, after that it switched to another line and contain the remaining character. Means <td> field wil not get automatically adjust there size according to data.

you cant specify how many characters a td cell can have but u can specify the pixel width of a td cell
<td width=50>
as long as you have wrap text on, then text will not force the box size over the 50 pixels
this wont limit it to only 50 chars though, you will probably have to use some javascript to cut the string down to size (unless youre using something like php or asp then that will do the trick too)

Hidden formatting held over from Word doc conversion

Our company is shifting our product manuals from Word docs to InDesign. I'm a newbie to InDesign, and I have just converted my first attempt using File>Place. This was a moderate size file (15MB), with a lot of embedded images, diagrams, and formatting. Although some of the text formatting didn't convert properly, the clean up has been easy. The biggest issues I've found are residual page and section breaks that needed to be manually removed from my text frames.
My boss, however, is hesitant and concerned that there might be some "hidden" formatting that carried over from Word that will ultimately undo all my progress and wreck havoc with the new ID document when we least expect it. Is there anything I should be looking for in particular?

ML,

From Word DOC to Acrobat PDF... borders and lines get screwed up.

I've been looking this up for days now and have yet to find a solution.
I have a MS Word document that has a bunch of tables with borders and sometimes just text with borders for stylistic reasons. In Word, it all looks perfect.
But, when I convert it to PDF using Acrobat, many of those borders get screwed up in various random ways.
Sometimes certain borders get thicker, sometimes thinner, sometimes invisible altogether. Sometimes it's only certain lines of the same border (just the left side, or just the top). I see no real pattern to what's causing it to only happen in certain cases only.
What makes it extra annoying is that if I zoom in or out a certain amount, the borders will look the way they are supposed to look. Some will look perfect at 100% zoom only, and some will look perfect at 75% zoom only.
This has been driving me insane. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question re Create PDF from Word doc

Hi
I am trying to create a pdf from a Word document (Word 2007, Acrobat 8 Professional), and am having lots of trouble with images,fonts and document overhead. With the fonts, i generate the PDF by saying Create Pdf from the plugin in Word. I specify in the Preferences that fonts are not to be embedded. I then open the PDF and access PDF Optimiser -> Audit Space Usage, and it says that fonts take up like 20% of the document, however there are only like 10 lines of text in Arial (9pt), and 6 titles also in Arial (Bold). I dont understand why Font is taking up so much space considering that i have elected not to embed fonts (if i go to the Fonts section in the Optimiser, it shows both embedded and unembedded panes blank).
With the images, i have 2 jpegs in the footer, that are compressed (JPEG -> Low). The other thing i am struggling with is the headers and footers, if i generate the PDF from the Word doc with Headers/Footers, then images take up over 15% of the document. Not sure if there is a way to add headers and footers within minimum impact of filesize? I have tried checking everything in the 3 categories of Dicard Objects, Discard User data and Clean Up. but the Document Overhead remains at 35%.
What else can i do to get these filesizes reduced?I have been researching this for days and have not come across anything that has helped.I have tried to PDF print, i have changed the font to like Courier, ensured no thumbnails or bookmarks, ensured JPEGs are not embedded in the doc, tried Save As, Save As under a different filename - basically anthing you can find on the net i have found and tried, but still cant fix this!!!! please, if anyone knows acrobate 8 better than me / or knows what the problem is, please advise????
Thanks very much.

The colors and size in a graphic needs to be done in a graphics editor. What type of editor would depend on the use of vector graphics versus bitmap. Sometimes vector graphics are larger than bitmaps if you are using a lot of lines that would display better as just a splotch of color. Such are the variations between vector and bitmap graphics, but important if you are looking for size reduction. For a bitmap, I would do the sizing and color depth with IrfanView, but you should be able to do that with PhotoShop if you have it. Vector graphics can be adjusted in Illustrator. The size of vector graphics is not an issue since they are scalable, but the size of a bitmap is important since your are looking at individual pixels and that depends on size. The point is that if you can adjust the color depth and size for the desired pixel resolution, the bitmap is optimized for the conversion to PDF from WORD.
As I mentioned, the smallest file size job options should minimize font storage in the PDF. Checking with the PDF Optimizer does not always give you all of the fonts. I am not sure why. It is better to check the font tab in the document properties to see what has been embedded. There is a preflight macro to embed fonts, you might check to see if there is one to delete fonts (I have not checked on that). Sometimes you can play with the reprint of a PDF, but that is not an option that is generally recommended, particularly if you have any tagging or such. Of course, tagging can really bloat a PDF, but is needed for a variety of reasons such as format for saving back to WORD (not a great workflow), accessability, and related issues. In another topic, there is some discussion of the purposes of tagging and bookmarks. However, the tags and bookmarks take space if that is really an issue for you. The latter are avoided if you use the print to the Adobe PDF printer and do not use PDF Maker in the PDF creation process. Again, there is a trade-off here in terms of size and functionality, particularly accessibility compliance.
Not sure I am helping as I run on, but sort what might be useful for you.

How to create pdf from word doc file

HI
I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
* create archive pdf file
lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
oWord.application.quit
release oword
I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
The code was this:
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
    oWordApp.Visible = True
    oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
    Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
    strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
    oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
    oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _
        Copies:=1, _
        Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, _
        Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _
        Pages:="", _
        PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        Collate:=True, _
        Background:=False, _
        PrinttoFile:=False, _
        OutputFileName:=strOutputPDFName
If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

How to handle weird characters in form fields (like bullet points from Word docs)

hi there
lots of my users copy and paste from MS Word documents into a
text area
my app takes that form.textarea data and inserts it in a
MYSQL db.
when we output that cell from the db, we often find there are
? [question marks] where there once were special characters in the
Word doc text.
it seems that bullet points in word docs are the worst
offenders.
each time i spot a new one i try to find out the chr() number
for it and make a substitiution before the text is stored in the
db, but its a bit hit and miss (relies on me spotting it) and its v
time consuming
ive tried using functions safetext and demoronize - but they
dont seem to do what i need
im sure im not the first person to run into this - any
suggestions anyone?
thanks very much indeed for any help you can give.
kind regards
Nick

Thanks Paul and Azadi
Paul - when you say "change it to unicode" do you mean the
page or a setting in the db? forgive me if i'm being stupid but
this is all new territory to me. Thank you ever so much for your
help - does sound logical what you say :)
Azadi - thanks very much for this (I'm pressuming that
there's a charge for this udf) so i'll try to implement Paul's
solution and if I can't do that I'll buy the the udf - thanks very
much indeed for your help, really is much apprecaited.
kind regards

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.

Acrobat 9 Pro PDF is not retaining original page settings from Word doc

The document I am trying to put into PDF format (from Word 2000, using Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version)) drops my original Word page settings (5.5" x 8.5") and defaults to 8.5" x 11" in the PDF. Using "Crop Pages" does not remedy the situation - the doc just stays at the larger size in Acrobat/PDF. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Change the paper size in the printer properties before creating the PDF. This is the same as putting the proper paper in a physical printer.

Strange bug: Acrobat 9 deletes words upon conversion from Word doc

Situation: converting from MS Word 2007 (SP2) to Acrobat 9 Standard (v 9.2.0) in WinXP.
I've tried this repeatedly. The first word in multiple headings disappear when converted to PDF (they remain in the Word doc, but don't exist in the PDF that was produced from the doc).
Example: "Correlation Analysis" becomes " Analysis". This is happening to the text of every "Heading 2" style heading. All the other headings are unaffected. Does anyone know why this is happening?
This is insidious because we assume that the finished doc matches the original one. So now I have to also proof the Adobe conversion for unexpected deleted words?
In the meatime, I'll return to Adobe 8 to do these conversions.

I see a similar problem being reported in this posting:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2370280
No resolution there either.
Regarding your suspicion that it may be related to Word, what contradicts that is the fact that the full text of the header appears in the resulting PDF bookmark!! However, the first word of the text is missing from the heading in the PDF (though it remains in the source Word doc).
Also, I am NOT referring to the page header or footer. I'm referring the text heading in the body of the document. In my case, only the "Header 2" styled headings are affected.

Can't create pdf. from word doc when edited photos are included

Or for that matter, from any photo which has been imported from my camera through lightroon, which happens everytime I download shots to my harddrive. I create .pdf tutorials which include process shots and text; whnever I include shots which have come through lightroom, I get an error message telling me that the flies in question are in use with another application. There must be a workaround for this, right? Why can't an edited photo be included into a word doc and then converted to a pdf?

You must have a program open with the image file or you would not get this message.
I just did a test run. It works perfectly with my images. I tried it with a JPG and I tried it with a TIFF.
Word imported them into the document and exported the document to PDF.
The TIFFs were created in Lr by exporting, and they are in the Lr catalog. So Lr is not the culprit for you rproblem.
What I sometimes forget when I edit / change a Word document is that a PDF already created has to be closed. When I don't like my PDF and just go back to Word, do some changes and export again to the same PDF, i.e. overwriting the existing PDF, then the PDF cannot be created. The PDF that needs changing must be closed before another export can happen.

How do I save formatting from Word docs to pages?

Hi
Often when I open a word document in Pages I get a document warning pop up box. Often I find that basic things from the Word doc have been changed. For example, things that were in Bold text in the Word doc are no longer in Bold in the Pages file. How do I prevent this from happening as the document moves back and forth between myself ( a Pages user) and a clien (who has Word)?

Hello
As far as I know, Word create faux-style when a bold or an italic version of a font isn't available.
In such case, bold or italic will be dropped in Pages.
From my point of view it's a good choice but it may hurt some users.
