Underlining text in a MS word document from PL/SQL

I have a routine that creates a text file using the TEXT_IO package and then launches MS Word for the user to edit the newly created text. They've asked me if I can underline/bold certain parts of the text prior to launching word.
I have a feeling that I'll need either DDE or OLE to access a word document directly rather than simply creating a text file and calling Word. Does anybody have a recommendation for which way to proceed?
Thanks,
Ron

Gerd,
Thanks for the info. I kind of figured that I would need to use either DDE or OLE. I've never heard of OLE2 but I assume its just the latest version of OLE?

Writing MS Word Document from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have an application which writes the data into EXCEL from PL/SQL. I am using follwong code to write the data.
Owa_Util.Mime_Header ( 'application/vnd.ms-excel', False);
htp.print('Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="'||v_report_title||'.xls"');
owa_Util.Http_Header_Close;
I want to know if there is any option to write the data into MS Word. If i am changing the Mime type to ms-word its generating a word document with the HTML equivalent of data. Looking forward for a quicked response.
Regards,
Dhirendra

I am not sure if you ever got your problem resolved, but I just wanted to share my experience that is is possible to have "server" side code which will get document in Oracle or another Doc. management syste, stream it back to the client and open it (I am talking about MS Office documents) in Office application or actually inside the browser (there is a little trick with the client Windows Explorer settings to enable this, otherwise it will open as an application).
It works perfectly also for TXT files, .TIFF, .jpg , .PDF etc.
You have to be correctly setting the MIME type depending on type of the application the files was created by (I can see you are doing that);
BUT your following line :
htp.print('Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="'||v_report_title||'.doc"');
==> is telling the client's browser that the file is coming over as attachment and therefore it will always prompt the user with OPEN, SAVE, CANCEL.
Here is a snippet of my code example [ writting the file into local temp dir]:
Response.AppendHeader("ContentEncoding", ctype);
// set the final Content Type
Response.ContentType = ctype;
// stream and write the file out
Response.BinaryWrite(bytBytes);
Response.End();

How to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

how to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

Hi Edit Converted Word Doc,
What's happening when you try to edit the file? Have you tried triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit?
Please let us know what sort of trouble you're running into. It would also be helpful to know how the PDF file was created, and what version of Word you're using.
Best,
Sara

Write to word document from oracle plsql

Hi,
Please provide methods to create and write to a word document from ORACLE PLSQL.We tried using UTL FILE package but it writes as ascii text.

Divs wrote:
The server m/c operating system is unix.so we need to invoke the procedure from Unix Os.In that case - not possible. For Windows COM (Component Object Model) to work, Oracle database need to be able to call and load the COM dynamic link libraries.
Not to say that it is not possible. Have never used DCOM (the Distributed COM interface), and not exactly sure what it requires. Assuming that DCOM is not usable from a Linux perspective, you can still provide a manual interface. You create a NT tcp/ip service that exposes the COM interface calls that you need - in a secure fashion (even better - you can provide a higher level abstraction layer for the COM interface that does the specific job you need to be done).
From Oracle you can then use PL/SQL's UTL_TCP package to open a connection to it and via this service craft a Word document on that Windows server.
Are there web services for MS Office? I know Google is pushing that aspect hard (and embroiled in lawsuits with the US government and Microsoft about tender awards in this aspect). Now if Microsoft has "+office-on-the-web+", then one can create a Word document via a web browser. This means that there is an underlying web service - and that this can be called and used. The Evolution (Open Source Mail Reader) project for example uses the MS Exchange web service interface to provide a seamless interface to Exchange mail accounts (have used this everyday for a number of years now).
The real question I would however ask is why Word specifically? Why not a more common format like PDF? You can even consider generating XML instead. Both Microsoft and Open Office and others are supporting XML formatted word processing documents (as oppose to older proprietary and binary formats).
And why not use a Report Writer? I'm a big fan of doing as much as possible in Oracle (using PL/SQL most of the time). But certain things, like generating Word-style documents would be better done (and more flexible too) using a Report Writer.

HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw doesn't print Microsoft Word documents from PC

Hello.
I've recently bought a brand new HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw printer. The functions seemed really nice and the price was acceptable. I've brought it to my home, installed it following the manual, connected it to Wi-Fi etc. It generally works fairly well. PDF files are printed perfectly well, the scaning function works and it's generally a nice piece of technology.
The only problem is that it just doesn't want to pring Microsoft Word documents from my PC. It prints it perfectly when I try to print .docx from my smartphone using the app, but it doesn't respond when I try doing it from the PC.
My Office version is 2007 Enterprise. Do you have any idea what I should do?
Thank you in advance

Thank you a lot for a quick reply, Cbert. It's fantastic to see HP actually reading their forums and trying to help!
I'll try plugging it into the wall and directly to the PC with a USB, we'll see if it works out.
About Word, i've already tried reinstalling Word, even installed a 2003 version to check if it works with that. Well it doesn't. And as i've written before, I tried turning some .docx files to .pdf using a converter, but it still doesn't print them.
Anyway, i'll try the first two points and keep you updated, thanks!

I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

When I try to install abode - it will download but says i have to close firefox before it will install. also i try to open a word document from a website and it will not open - it will only download

i install abode - it will download but not install and indicates i have to close firefox before it will download. Also, I try to open a word document from a website - it will download but not open.

You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.

Upload / Open a Word Document from BDS with WebDynpro

Hello,
we use the BDS (Business Document Server) to storage our word files. Now we use WebDynpro with the UI OfficeControl.
Could any one tell me, how to open/upload my documents from BDS with the OfficeControl.
The UI FileUpload does not work, because it is not allowed to use specify URLs. link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
For example that is the URL from the BDS: "SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/100/BDS_5FDB2_5FR/7B3AAF5B22AAD21197ED0060B0672A3C/Forminterface.doc"
I use the class "CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET" with the method "get_with_url". result is above.
Each example with the OfficeControl from SAP (Package SIOS) use the Mime Repository:
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
CALL METHOD mime_repository->get
    EXPORTING
      i_url     = url
    IMPORTING
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'DATAS' value = content ).
Have any one an idea, how BDS and WebDynpro works together

What about getting the binary of the word document from BDS and download this?
Yes, it exist a method calls "get_with_table". This return the binary path from my url above.
Here is my source code:
public attributes
DATA oi_document TYPE REF TO if_ios_wordprocessing.
DATA oi_factory TYPE REF TO if_ios_factory.
METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA ol_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA ol_office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_office_control.
DATA vl_document TYPE xstring.
short from
vl_document = myBDS->get_with_table( ).
Settings for UI OFFICE_CONTROL
ol_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'OFFICE' ).
ol_node->set_attribute( name = 'DATASET' value = vl_document ).
get the office control
wd_this->oi_office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE_CONTROL' ).
get the IOS Factory
      wd_this->oi_factory ?= ol_office->_method_handler.
get proxy document
      wd_this->oi_factory->get_wordprocessing_proxy(
      IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->oi_document ).
CALL METHOD wd_this->oi_document->if_ios_document~opendocument( ).
ENDMETHOD.
When I compile everything is ok. But when I run my application, it nothing happen. No word file is opening or no error message. I create a ALC trace (SAPNOTE 949770).
Each time when I try to open my word file comes a popup-window from the alc-trace:
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::| STG_E_READFAULT : readaccess|HRESULT=-2147287010(     A disk error occurred during a read operation)
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|Office version is lower than 12, only native office format supported|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|loadOffice2007xml|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error )
But I have access to the BDS and to the document.
Can any one help me.....

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

Transfer word documents from Lumia 520 to mac?

Is there an app to transfer word documents composed on the lumia 520 in office to mac?
I only see apps for enabling photo/video and music transfers from 520 to mac.
I've been to the mac app store and don't see an app to transfer word documents from windows phone to mac.

You don't transfer documents to the cloud on iPad. The cloud is for backups. It's not for document storage. There are however, apps you can use like Dropbox, which are cloud servers, you can use to accomplish this. You set up Dropbox, the free app on your iPad. Then you download Dropbox to your computer. You get 2GB free storage, but if you need more, you can buy it.
