Hi,
You can accomplish the same work with the basic edition of Dos to Go.
Create a directory on your media card for documents. Via My Computer
Load your blank expense reports, weekly status report, and base documentation.
(1) You can then open Docs to go, retrieve the named blank, fill your expenses daily,
Then save to the media card. (2) BY "daily" meaning you can edit the document.
You can also email the document, or (3) keep it until you can transfer to your PC.
You do not have to email them to yourself.
(3) Another great tip you can use, is to keep the files synchronized with the old "My Briefcase"
in Windows. When you Plug in via USB, the PC will sync the media card with the doc directory.
Let me know if you need info on this.
Why would you not be able to use Sheets to go as an attachment? File size?

(3) You can use a PC to transfer info between the PC and the media card.
Basically you will attach the USB to the BB and the PC. Don't use desktop
manager. Go to "My Computer" on the PC and the BB will show as a flash drive.
Then you can "drag and drop" files to the BB.
Use the following settings in the memory option of the Storm:
Media card support ON
Encryption mode NONE
Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
Mass storage support ON
Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON
What part is not clear?

Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost.
I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf. Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf. Still no live links.
Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text. So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer. But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe. Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
They had it fixed last year in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active. Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and be Underlined
Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code. So there should be no pproblem.
Also Don't use the Save As . . . PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save. Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
Well it seems it does work on occasion see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

Hi-
I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
My Workflow so far:
1. Get Finder items
2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
3. Rename selected items
4. Open selected items (Word docs)
Three problems occur.
The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
Thanks,

PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi there Jeremy,
to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
set allItems to every item of input
repeat with currItem in allItems
tell application "TextWrangler"
open currItem
end tell
activate application "TextWrangler"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextWrangler"
delay 2
--when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
--I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
keystroke return
delay 2
--save the doc
keystroke "s" using command down
delay 5
--close the doc
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run</pre>
The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

OLE2 Doc/Code snippet to assist in creating a word doc with underlined text

I would like to use OLE2 to create a simple Word document. I would like some of the text to be bold/underlined and the rest of the text to be regular. There seems to be a serious dearth of information regarding OLE2 in conjunction with PS/SQL in Word applications. We're running Forms 6 and Oracle 9i.
I don't believe that I need to use the techniques described in the Forms Manual (OLE2 containers, etc.). I have managed to create a Word doc and write some text to it but I've been unable to find out/guess at the syntax that I'd need to control bolding and underlining. It would be a big help if I could just find the syntax for Word OLE2 commands. During my documentation search, I seem to remember a post that mentioned 'Reference 2' and maybe 'Reference 3' as a source of information related to OLE2 in PL/SQL code. If anyone can give me a shove in the right direction I'm more than willing to read the manuals. I won't be too disappointed if someone could send me a code snippet either!
Thanks,
Ron Walker

Hi Ron,
Office ships with a number of resources that you will find indispensable for the sort of work you're doing. Take a look at the VBA IDE (Visual Basic for Applications IDE). You may already be familiar with it, if you've ever written a Word macro, but to call it a macro editor sells it short -- it is a full-blown development environment. Its Object Browser allows you to browse Word's object model, search by keyword, and view call syntax.
In case you aren't familiar with the VBA IDE, try this:
1. Open Word
2. Switch between Word and the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>
3. Open the Object Browser by pressing <F2>
Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the Object Browser. Constrain its scope by selecting the Word library instead of <All Libraries> (the default). Learn to search by keyword. Click on items within your results for details. If Visual Basic Help is installed, pressing <F1> will raise help on a selected item.
Visual Basic Help may not be part of the Compact or Typical install. Running Office Setup, either from the install CD, or through Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel, will allow you to add the feature. (The Office installer lists Visual Basic Help in the Office Tools section.)
I have found the VBA IDE to be the perfect place for prototyping and testing automated processes. It is a far friendlier environment for learning Office automation, as it offers code completion and context-driven help. Once the process works, I manually translate my VBA routine into Forms PL/SQL, which is fairly painless. I've written a short tutorial, that I will post shortly -- I didn't want to bury it in this thread!
Hope this helps,

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.

Stylesheets and applying to imported Word docs. (RHx5)

I've been reading a comments about style sheets, importing Word docs and formatting issues (in regards to importing Word docs and pre-determined styles/bullets/numbering). I also saw that someone was trying to create a css outside of RH and was having issues. This leads me to a couple of questions.
1. When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
2. If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
3. What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky? Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files? Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
4. Can I view the default css and edit it?
I think I have a big problem on my hands. I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats. After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair. I was having the problems he mentioned. I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse. I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal). I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

1] When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
That's the way it is, no option.
2. If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
With the "if you want them identical" proviso, you would only have one CSS but you don't have to have them all identical. That is your call.
3. What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky? Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files? Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
It's not a mistake but if you want to get out of that situation, you need to do some cleaning up. The first step will be to create a CSS that contains all your existing style names, note I say names. Each of your CSS files will have a variety of styles but let's make it easy for this explanation. One has H1, H2, P and P.Note (a class) while another has One has H1, H2, P and P.Warning (a class). Now let's say you have just two topics, one has CSS_1 and one has CSS_2. The H1, H2 and P styles may be the same or different but assuming they are different, you now want them to be the same so what you want is a CSS with H1, H2, P, P.Note and P.Warning. You could then apply that to both topics and all the content would be displayed as defined in CSS_3. Obviously the real task is bigger but the principals are the same.
The way I would tackle it is to create a new CSS and copy in the styles from the biggest of your existing CSS files. Then I would look at the others and copy in any styles that are not already in. That gives you all the style names, albeit with the wrong appearance. Then you start working through the styles to get them right. It is not as bad as it sounds. I recommend using Top Style from http://www.bradsoft.com. There's a free version that only opens one CSS at a time but you can see what you are doing with it. The others can be open in Notepad.
4. Can I view the default css and edit it?
Yes.
I think I have a big problem on my hands. I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats. After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair. I was having the problems he mentioned. I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse. I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal). I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Next time you need input from the SMEs, output to one Word template from RH so that they all have the same appearance. Their job is provide content so the styles are irrelevant to them.
Yes you've got some work but it isn't too massive. Hope this helps.

Importing WORD doc into FM12

When importing a WORD doc with multichapters into FM12, do I need to seperate the WORD doc according to the chapters first then do the importing?

I would say it depends:
If your word document satisfies any or all of these conditions:
1. It is short
2. It utilizes few fonts
3. It does not contain graphics with text flowing around them
4. It has a few basic styles
5. It is "clean": no spurious font usage, no "bleeding italic"
then by all means, open it in FM
Otherwise, you might want to follow the process below. In my case, I have a novel I wrote in Word. It's 147,000 words long, uses several fonts and images. I opened the file into FM and it was not able to process it appropriately. Luckily, no harm was done but I'd recommend you do backup your word file first.
Here is what I did:
1. I created an FM template from scratch.
2. I used my template to import the first chapter only. In so doing, I refined the various tags ( I am assuming you are importing you word document as an unstructured framemaker doc) and created a few character tags such as "emphasis" for fragments which are emphasized and "thought" for fragments of text representing thoughts in characters' heads. These character tags are important for the editing process because by changing say the color or the size of the font for these characters tag, I can quickly highlight them and verify them. In the end, there was no portion of my text that did not have an explicitly assigned character tag, which is truly important for the quality of the text.
3. I ran a find on "character override". Since my novel was being edited by two editors, there were quite a few overridden punctuation utilizing the wrong font, or face or size.
4. I would then refresh the book to ensure the chapter numbering and page numbering was working correctly.
5. Once I was satisfied with a chapter, I would import the tags back into the template and move on to the next.
I am skipping the work I did on the preamble (first and second titles, copyright notice, acknowledgment, dedication, table of content, maps) and postamble (glossary and "about the author") but the process was the same.
This process took me about two days to complete. In the end, I ended up with the following
1. A robust template I can use for the successive books I am publishing
2. A cleaner text, easier to typeset and check
3. A greater understanding of the way FM works.
Hope this helps

Placing one word doc sectioned over many INDDs

Is it possible at all to place a portion of the Word doc into mulitple INDD files?
Working on a book, I am given one doc for the whole book, but must break it into chapters, etc. I can't cut and paste of course, because I lose all formatting. Our editors can't seem to grasp using word styles instead of local styling everything as normal + bold or whatever.
It's way quicker to fix this in InD using Find Replace than to fix it first in Word and break up the doc as it properly should be done. So, is there ANY way to place a part of a doc and then place the next part in the next IND chapter doc, etc?
Any suggestions appreciated!

There are a bunch of different ways that occur to me, each with its own drawbacks. One would be to place the whole Word doc into a fresh INDD, then shift-select pages from the end of your INDD and drag them into a new one. Or use Move Pages in the same way. Here's a link to a script posted on InDesignSecrets that automates the process for you.
In the long-ago past, when I needed to work with files like yours, I just opened up the Word doc, deleted everything but Chapter 2, resaved as WordDoc-Chap2-toplace.doc, closed, reopened the original, done the same thing to Chapter 3, etc.
But no, not so far as I know: when you place a Word doc into an InDesign doc, you don't get any option, you have to flow in the whole document. You can only chop before, or chop after. Seems to me that chopping after is easier, but I don't know enough about your own workflow and your own document to tell you that chopping afterwards will be easier for you.

I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc. I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic. Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages? thanks

I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture. If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender? Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it. I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
thanks,

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

Hi,
Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance :)

I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
Hope that helps someone!

Using PDF Printer TO Print Multiple Word Docs At Once.

I Have Just upgraded from acrobat to acrobat 3d. In Acrobat 5 i was able to select a batch of word document (150+ usually) and use the send to command to send them to the acrobat distiller and each document would open one at a time print and then close. I have now been upgraded to Acroabat 3D and if i use the same Send to Command to send a batch of word docs to the pdf printer it tries to open all the selected files at once and i get an error message "the command cannot be performened because a dialog box is open..." this is because the 1st document is open and printing so the secound document that opened at the same time cannot operate the print command. Can Anyone help?

Thanks for the suggestion but...
1. I can't get these scripts to run in 10.4.8
What if you save the script as a stand alone app? Does that make a difference?
2. I haven't spent much timr trying since it looks
like thy only convert "JPEG", "GIFf", "PICT", "TIFF",
"PDF" & "TEXT". Am I wrong?
That's what it looks like from the "extension-list" - what type of files are you trying to convert?
