Using Forms OLE builtin to access word spell check

I am trying to find a way to utilize the Forms OLE built in for using MS Word spell check. We are upgrading our forms from 6 to 10g. In version 6 we were able to use OLE to open word and use it to pass in our string we wanted spell checked.
Is there a similiar feature in forms 10g?

Jim,
the Forms9i demos have a PJC solution that does spell checking (http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/forms9iDemos9_0_0_1.zip). The Forms 10g version of the demo is not yet avaiable but will be soon. If time is short, then you can make the 9i sources work in Forms 10g with no extra work required.
A viewlet demo can be accessed through the following link

Word Spell Checker

I am using Express 2.0 D0 and Forte 3.0 D0. I want to use Word's spell
checker for a field on a window that I am using for notes. Does anyone
have any suggestions on how I might implement such a task? Any help would
greatly be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

independent spell checker which would work on any Forte platform and not
require the use of any external software. Seems like there should be some
public domain dictionaries lying around; providing the ability to add to a
personal dictionary sounds easy; a browser on near matches is easy. The
only "interesting" parts that come to mind would be ways to avoid putting
all variants of a word in the dictionary, e.g., to avoid having to store
all plurals as separate words, and good algorithms for guessing at
alternative words when the word is not found.
Not only would this give you independence from what was installed on the
client, but it would give you a possible server-side version for use with
the Web.

Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Services - Word Spell Check

We are running Windows 2008 servers on our network with remote desktop services (terminal services). We currently experiencing a challenge with Word 2010. The spell check feature is not working, when you try and run it gives an error "Microsoft Word
can't check the spelling or grammar in this document. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly." After about 5 clicks it comes up with Cannot find the proofing tools for English (Australia). It eventually it works, need to
get it to work the first time. I have searched all around but can't seem to find the answer.

I'd try them over here.

How to point at a word table using forms Ole and Word Document

Hello.
I like to know how to position at a word table and send data from a forms module using ole. I have done something similar before using bookmarks.It's easy and it works. My requirement now is to send data from a forms module to a word document, but this time, the word document will have bookmarks and a word table needs to be filled from data from the database. Just don't know how to get , access, reference the word table from forms.
I'm still using forms6i in C/S mode.
Help will be greatly appreciated ...!.
Best regards, Luis ...!

Hi Luis,
The VBA code for updating the cell found at row three, column two of the first table, of the active document is as follows:
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(3,2).Select
Selection.TypeText("Hello, world!")I haven't time to convert it to OLE2, but hopefully it will at least give you an idea.

Office 04 - Word Spell checker

I don't think this is a Leopard problem but I have only noticed it since upgrading. I am using Office 04 and my spellchecker now has the Add button greyed out whenever I am doing a spellcheck which means I cannot add words to it. I am using Custom Dictionary and have been through all the preferences. Any ideas?
Thanks - Bruce

Using form with mssql,access and oracle9i

Is it a good idea to use forms 9i with mssql,access and oracle 9i as back end
meaning using forms6i/9i as front end
what happens with datatype defined in mssql tables
like smallint etc
SEJ

Yes, I have read it. Good information, and it has gotten me close. If I follow what it says, I can get directly into insert mode ... however, update and delete buttons still exist.
Here are the exacts in my situation:
1) created a dynamic page that creates a link generated from the function 'Portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_url('my_application.my_link','parameter_name','parameter_value');'. Notice no relational operator.
2) created a form that is based upon table 'b'. The value passed to this form by step 1 is a foreign key from table 'a'.
3) created a link object that references form identified in step 2.
By clicking on the link generated by the dynamic page (with a parameter set and no conditional operators set), we go to the form in insert mode but we see all buttons. After your last note I decided to try a new, fresh, Portal generated form based upon table 'b', making the primary key and the foreign key hidden. I modified the link to reference this new form. By clicking the link, I go to the form in insert mode, but ALL buttons are showing, including query, next, and previous, even though some of these buttons are invalid.
I am using 3.07.? We are in the middle of installing 3.08 or 3.09, whichever we can get running first. My dba is out for the week, so I will not be able to upgrade until next week.
Any thoughts you have would be helpful. I am on the verge of creating 2 forms, but I don't want the code duplication if I can help it.
Once again, thanks in advance.

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
Is there any different method is there.
Please help me....
Praveen.K

Here is one different from Jspell..
In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
   my_application   ole2.obj_type;
   my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
   my_document      ole2.obj_type;
   my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
   get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
   my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
   args             ole2.list_type;
   spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
   orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
   my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
   ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
   my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
   my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
   my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
   ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
   get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
   ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
   spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
   spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
   COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
   args := ole2.create_arglist;
   ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
   ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
   ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
   ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
END;Call it like this: SPELL_CHECK ('BLOCK.MY_TEXT_ITEM' );

Spell checker Functionality to be Implemented in a Oracle Ebiz Custom form

Hi,
I have tried implementing the Spell checker functionality in one of our Custom form,I used the OLE2 Built in Package in forms 6i to invoke the Spell checker functionality in Microsoft word but i am getting an error,Could anyone please help me in implementing the functionality?
I used the following procedure to Implement the spell checker functionality in Forms 6i and registered the same in Oracle Applications 11i,
PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
my_application   ole2.obj_type;
my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
my_document      ole2.obj_type;

ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
END;
I am getting the following error,
*305501:non-ORACLE exception*
I get this error exactly after the following line of the procedure,
my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
This Spell check functionality works fine when implemented in a standalone form(When a form is ran from the Form Builder),Facing issue only when it is registered in the Oracle applications 11i.
I searched various Forums,But i unable to find any solution,Expecting your help on the same asap.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Raja,
Thanks for the Reply..
Thanks a lot for your quick and efficient responses.
But Iam unable to figure out how to implement this auto save functionality in this BSP Applicaition. If anyone has worked on this BSP Application <b>HAP_DOCUMENT</b>, can you please tell me how to do this auto save functionality. Is it possible that when I give this popup to save using java script and when the User clicks on OK, can I get the return code for this and use it to trigger the auto save functionality? And where exactly do I have to code this. Because the code here is bit confusing and the pages are called dynamically, even Iam unable to figure out the Button Id. Can anyone please help me out on this. This is a very urgent requirement.
As specified by you, I have used this code to give the popup.
<script type="text/javascript">
function alertUser()
alert('Please Save the changes by clicking Save button');
window.setInterval("alertUser()",300000);
</script>
Can I use the same code for save also, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function autosave()
htmlbSL(this,2,'SAVE:SAVE');
window.setInterval("autosave()",300000);
</script>
I was trying with this but it is not working.

Raju

Problem with spell checker - microsoft word is better in this respect

First, I love Pages, I find it better than Word and will continue to use it. Second, I love the spell checker, and I keep it on as I'm typing. I don't want to change this, except for one small feature that Word does and Pages does not.
When I'm typing a sentence, there are many occasions when I type a word that Pages doesn't have in the dictionary, and thus it changes it to what it thinks I want to type. For example, I typed "Lindberg" and it changed it to "Lundburgh" which I didn't want to happen. Of course, this happens to other words that are not proper nouns.
In Word, if I'm typing a sentence such as "And then Lindberg..." and Word changes it to "Lundburgh," if I simply delete back and re-write "Lindberg" and continue on, Word by default will NOT auto-correct again, and I can continue typing freely.
In Pages, however, if I do the above Pages continues to auto-correct. You must right click and "Ignore" or "Learn" spelling, and that slows me down big time.
So, I think Pages should do this one thing that Word does, and I'll be a happy camper.

So, I think Pages should do this

I am using this function module to do a spell check on description and text/note fields. This works great using IC WinClient (SAP GUI). When this is called from IC WebClient (BSP), the function module is returning NO_ACTIVEX error. Did someone encounter the same issue?

How do you spell check a field?

How are people spell checking their fields?
In searching around, I have only found (a) suggestions to yank the text into MS Word, do a spell check, then yank the resulting text into the field; (b) software from DC AL CODA that we aren't clear how they actually work (http://www.dcalcoda.com).
Specifically, my manager wants a tool that'll interface with Oracle like this: give a table name and a field name and be asked about each spelling error, much like an email spell check. The tool would change things as you ask, directly in the database. You wouldn't have to cut and paste into it and back to the db fields.
We aren't using forms. We use SQL*Plus, Quest Software's TOAD, and our own Java servlets (using JDBC to enter SQL statements).
I would love to hear how people do their spell checking.
Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for this question. There doesn't seem to be a general or SQL forum. Our database tables include a fair amount of text that shows up on Web pages. These are the fields we want to spell check.

I thought I'd reply to my own question since I found a workable solution, at least for our office which has MS Windows.
MS Access can connect directly to an Oracle data source. Access has a spell checking feature where you can select a field and spell check it. Below are tips and instructions for doing this.
TIPS:
It's surely a good idea to back up tables and be the only person or process changing those tables during the spell check.
One thing to watch for is whether the entire table comes in. At the bottom of the screen is a >* button which seems to get all fields. For large tables, you have to hit this button before you get the entire table.
Another glitch is that all of the given database user's tables show up in one list box -- makes for some painful scrolling, but all of the tables are listed.
A much smaller glitch is that if you widened any of the fields in the view of the table, when you close the window, it asks if you want to save the formatting. It has nothing to do with saving the data (that is automatic). It's safe to say no.
The spell check doesn't recognize HTML tags (asks about "br"s from <br> tags) but seems to know to ignore things like "
How to set up an ODBC Data Source in Windows:
1. MS Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> ODBC Data Sources (32 bit)
2. Drivers tab, scroll down and select Oracle ODBC Driver
3. OK
4. User DSN tab, Add...
5. Select Oracle ODBC Driver and Finish
6. Make up a data source name (example: src)
7. Enter a description for it
8. For Service name, put what your service name is (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'svc')
9. For UserID, put your user id (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'usr')
10. Ignore the rest of the fields, click OK
11. Another OK.
How to use Access to Spell Check an ODBC Data Source Field:
0. Install Access from (MS Office 2000).
1. Start Access (by the way, you might find it way down the list in Start -> Programs).
2. Open file, in the file type box, scroll to the end: ODBC Databases. You'll get a dialog.
3. Machine Data Source tab, select the name you gave it (src in step 6 above)
4. You'll be prompted for the password (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'passwd')
5. Select from the huge list of every table the table you want. Ok.
5.a. If the table has no key, you'll be prompted for the unique key from a list of all fields.
6. Double click the item that has just been added to the dialog that remains on the screen. It'll have a globe next to text like USR_TABLENAME. This brings up a randomly sized first chunk of the table.
7. To make sure you get the entire table, on the paging buttons on the bottom (|< < > >| >*), click >*. It may take a few moments to get a huge table.
8. Click the heading of the field (column) you want to spell check). This selects the entire column.
9. Hit spell check (ABC checkmark tool or Tools -> Spelling)
10. Check away. The changes are made immediately to the database.
11. Close the table display window.

Spell Check - Am I blind?

I must be blind...
There has got to be some sort of spell checker in a forms design package!?!?!
Is there a spell checker in Designer 7.0? If not, is there some sort of plug in?
I deal with legal docs and it's quite a hassle to have to manually proof or use some sort of external spell checker.
Thanks for your direction.
Sean

I feel your pain. I work with brokerage and annuity forms and there isn't a spell check. (sorry)
We copy all of the XML from Designer to Word and spell check in Word. Unfortunately - it catches all the xml coding as well.
Once finished, we copy and paste everything back into the XML. (usually without a problem).
Heck - even this discussion board allows you to spell check.
It IS a hassle. Hopefully Adobe comes up with something quick.
Some tech genious would make a killing with a plug in tool. (anyone? anyone?)

Pages Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker."

Out of the clear blue, after much use, Pages 3.0.2 Gives me an Alert "Couldn't contact Spell Checker" and the Spell checker does not work anymore in pages. However, the spell checker woks in all other programs I use. How do I get the spell checker back in pages?
I've cleaned caches and repaired permissions and no change. English is the language being used.
Thanks

This was a frequent topic when iWork '08 was first released. It is related to third-party spell checkers such as SpellCatcher. If they haven't been updated to the newest versions, this error comes up, especially when opening Word documents. If you have SpellCatcher or another spell checker installed, I would just try disabling it first & see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, do a Spotlight search for "spell" & see what comes up. Trash anything that looks like it belongs to a third-party spell checker & restart your Mac.
But I don't think that's the problem you're experiencing. I've seen several users here with the problem of the spell checker not working in Pages. All of them were fixed by deleting the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & then restarting Pages.

Spell Checker Java BAdI Implementation

In IS-M/AMC, I am working on implementation of a Java BAdI, namely ICustSpellCheck, which enables Customer Specific Spell check instead of the standard MS-Word spell check. Could someone provide pointers on the java code that goes into different methods of this class?

I've been using JTidy for HTML syntax checking. It's a java port of Html Tidy, and it works pretty good. The documentation is pretty sparse, but I think they're intent was to have people refer to the HTML Tidy documentation anyway (JTidy mimics HTML tidy even down to the bugs). Also, it doesn't look like there's been much upkeep activity but....it's free. anyway, here's the link:
