Word Documents - Links

Hello,
I am trying to set up a link where when people click on it,
it will allow them to download a WORD FILE. I have been to do so in
the past relatively easily but it does not seem to work right now.
My web site is usc-universal.com and I am using DreamWeaver 8. I
have set up a folder with all the files, I have made sure they are
opening properly and everything.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thank you for the help,
Joel

He did post the url - it's
http://usc-universal.com
But he didn't tell us where to look for the links, and
clicking on any navigation brings up a login dialog.

Word document links won't open in IE 9

I got a user who cannot open up a word document link in sharepoint online that should display a word dialog box basically in IE 9. When clicking, nothing happens even if pop up blocker is off, but he can access the word documents from the link in Firefox.
I also found out that I am able to open it up under my windows profile on that machine so it must be a corrupted windows profile.
I reset IE
Cleared cache
Verified in registry in class roots that .html is set to htmlfile
Anything I can do besides redoing the user's windows profile?

Can you try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away? You can restart in Firefox Safe Mode by either:
* Clicking the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and selecting ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'', or;
* Holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

Word document links not converting to WebHelp

I have an Word 2007 document that contains hyperlinks to send
an email and to jump to another place in the same document. I
imported the document into my RoboHelp project and all looks fine.
But when I create the WebHelp the links do not work. This is my
first really using RoboHelp. I had previously did "Save As..html"
in Word and then used HTML Workshop to create chm files. The links
in there work fine.

No, creating a chm does not work either. It seems whatever I
mark using "Hyperlink" in Word does not convert over to the
appropriate HTML tags. I looked at the html source and it basically
just has font info (underline, etc) - no link info.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.

Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

Hello all,
how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
Kindest regards from Germany,
Markus

Markus,
Welcome to the forum!
I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.

Can't browse to Word document

I am trying to use Contribute to browse to and then edit a MS
Word document on the webserver. When I click on the link in the
website of the word document, I always get a popup window asking to
open in Word , or save the file. The file is then edited/saved on
the local machine, never updating the website version. The page
displaying contribute never changes from the page with the word
document links.
I was reading that you should be able to navigatate to the
document and then select 'edit with external application'.
Any ideas?

Hi all
Colum, I doubt that Peter's info on that page will apply here
because as I understand it, this is a RoboHelp for Word project.
Folks, I know it appears to be a seductive thing to want to
try and do. I'm talking about the desire of "sticking with the
Devil you know" meaning Word.
If you are creating WebHelp output, it would behoove you to
at least give RoboHelp HTML a once over. The editing interface is
very "Word like". You will find that a great many things you
struggle with Word over disappear in RoboHelp HTML.
Just a thought... Rick

When i tried to link the FrameMaker document through Robohelp, link-> FrameMaker option is disabled, but I can word document link is enabled. I'm using the trail version of Robohelp9 and FrameMaker10. Is it because of compatibilty issue??

RH Crash when linking or importing word documents

RH9 build 9.0.1.232
Office 2010
Webhelp (custom skin)
I have created a template from a successful project which i completed over three months ago.
I am now trying to create a project using the template and getitng persistent crashes when attempting to Import or Link Word documents.
This is causing a great hold up to the project delivery.
Any help would be appreciated

Please see the article on my site about Project Templates. The script has been found to have some issues.
You say have deleted the file and then ask what will happen if you remove it. You did, you said so "Deleting the file seemed to work". If that is not what you mean, please clarify what you mean by removing the file.
If you create a project using the script, then close the project and delete the CPD, it should be OK. If there ae going to be problems, you will know pretty soon.

Creating a new "Link to a Document" opens Word document or upload document dialog - plus more!

The Link to Document content type seems to be corrupted at root. When I attempt to create a new Link, either Word opens with a blank document or the "Upload" document dialog opens. It's been changing as I investigate.
One things I've noticed is that the "Link to a Document" Content Type on the parent site collection now shows it's parent as Document. this explains why the Word document opens, but not why the Upload dialog does.
While writing this question, I decided to check further and it seems that the other document types, Audio, Video etc. all now have Document as the parent and are opening a blank Word document.
Has anyone seen this behavior? How do I fix this?
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I spoke too soon. The process worked for all the custom content types, but the default Document type was still messed up. I probably should have fixed that one first, but...
Anyhow, the Document type had no template going to the Upload File dialog rather than the blank Word document it's supposed to go to. I followed the same procedure I'd followed for the other content types, checking what worked on another site and using that
template which in this case was a blank field:
So, I went opened Document, Document Content Type and went to advanced settings. The template field was empty, which matched the working site, so thinking that if I saved, it would match up with the working site. I saved the Document content type and when
after several minutes the save failed with an incredibly long list of locations where that were being perceived as "read only" plus several hidden content types that were listed as sealed. This snapshot shows a few of they many pages of content types. (I poorly
struck through confidential info):
Besides this gigantic error, which would require going to hundreds of locations on the site to change read access settings, which are, as far as I can tell actually not "read only" or are inaccessible, such as the hidden "System Page Layout' and so forth
which shouldn't be based upon the default document type anyway and therefor not fixable, I need to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I don't want to spend the next two days going over all of these libaries and content types and ending
up back where I started with all the content types still screwed up. Afterall, I've spent about a day creating all these custom Content Types only to have the default Document content type loose its settings and corrupting everything and another day fixing
it and having it happen again.
This is a highly unacceptable behavior on the part of SharePoint and I would really like to fix this.
Help is sorely needed.
Thanks in advance

Link to Word Document (Captivate 2)

Hi
I want to be able at the end of a project for the users to
click a button and have a word document appear which they can
complete and then print.
I need it to be in a new window as I need them to be able to
go back to the project whenever they want. I have placed the
document in the same folder as where the project has been published
I have tried the URL/Link on a click button but unless i put
an absolute path it doesn't work. I don't want to put in an
absolute path as this would mean having to change it for everywhere
different I publish it.
I have tried doing a relative path but that hasn't worked
either. I am publishing via HTML for the projects i need this for
but i will also have to publish it to a CD eventually.
I don't know much about javascript but I thought that might
be the way to go, but i just don't understand what i actually have
to do and where the JS needs to be placed.
At the moment the project is located on my H:\Inductions and
the document is called
HRI-001-06 Adelaide Office Induction Questionnaire
I have tried doing a quiz in captivate but as i only have
Captivate 2, that wasn't too successful because if they got it
wrong they had to do the whole thing again and they couldn't go
back to the project
My relative path was just the document name as above - was
that correct? and then i clicked "new"
Any help anyone can give me would be great.
I have searched the forums but have not had any luck finding
answers.

Hi Michelle
The generic "F" message typically indicates that the file you
are linking to cannot be found. Perhaps it was listed using an
absolute address instead of a relative address.
An absolute address specifies the file you are linking to is
expected to be found in a specific location. Perhaps
C:\SomeFolder\SomeFile.DOC. A relative address simply expects the
file to be in a relative folder. Often, this may mean the same
folder. So you specify SomeFile.DOC and simply ensure the file you
are linking to is in the same folder as the Captivate linking to
it.
Cheers... Rick

Link to Word document doesn't refresh when running from Infoview

I have a report that contains an OLE Object link to a Word Document. If I modify the document and schedule the report through Infoview, it doesn't pick up the change. If I refresh the report through Crystal Reports it does pick up the changes. Any suggestions on how I can get the Infoview scheduled report to pick up the changes?
Thanks,
Tony

Hello Tony and Co-Experts,
I am facing exactly the problem Tony had:
- Embedded a Word document as linked OLE object into a crystal report and stored it to Enterprise repository.
- When opening the report with CR Developer from my workstation, changes in the .doc file are reflected, the report is updated
- However when displaying and refreshing the report on the BO Server via InfoView changes aren't reflected.
The OLE link is set to update automatically (under menu edit -> links)
I tried to store the report to the enterprise repository with and without data. Yet no difference and no update in either case.
Neither scheduling nor opening and refreshing the report in InfoView helps.
So what am I doing wrong?
- On our BO server we have not installed Crystal Reports Developer. Is this a prerequisite for the OLE links to update?
- And Tony wrote that he could resolve this by changing the logged on user with CR Job Server. Where and how would I change this user?
- Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
Konrad

How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.
Why isn't it in the addons.mozilla.org ? Looks dangerous ...

SAP Link in Word Document

Hi,
Here is the situation. We have a word document stored in third party system. It has got links to SAP (through fields in [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/aa/8c27fbaed511d3957200a0c92f024a/content.htm] word) . Now I want to put a default value to the field, So that it always carries that value when the link between SAP and third party system is not active. I know its possible in Word 2000(using switch /d). But what about later versions? What switch to use .. Please help out. Its kind of urgent.
Thanks

Hi Tschareck,
According to your description , my understanding is that you want to update the excel chart data when editing the chart in the word.
As a workaround, I suggest you can use SharePoint ItemUpdated Event Receiver, when you updated the chart data in the word, then reupload the excel file in the event receiver.
Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:

Embedding reference/page links to external PDF, in Word document before exporting it as PDF...

I have a substantial compilation of documents in a single PDF file: call this the reference material.
I am writing a narrative concerning the above using Word 2010, which when complete I will export to PDF, to be included with the above reference PDF, either as a separate PDF or (ideally) combined with it into one single PDF.
The narrative will include many references to specific pages (ideally views of individual pages) within the reference material, ideally as clickable links.
The only way I can see to do this is to complete the narrative Word document, PDF it, and then go through the whole PDF narrative document creating page-view links for each of the in-text references, either:
to the reference material as an external PDF, or
having combined the narrative PDF with the reference PDF, and then creating the links.
So... I'm wondering if there may be some slick method of creating the page-view links in the Word document as I go along, in such a way that they would survive the transition when the narrative is exported into PDF. I'm assuming I'm not the first person to need to do such a job!
(I'm hoping to avoid using pre-set destinations in the reference PDF.)
Using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext.
Thank you!

I will not address the terminal server environment (check the license on that). However, it could be that the fonts the individual is using are not on the terminal server and that is the cause of the failure. It might work to embed the fonts in the PS file (an option in the creation process) so that they are available to Distiller. Based on your comment that it is a symbol issue, that is my best guess.

Converting a document with multiple links to a word document

I am trying to convert a PDF file with multiple links to a word document. When the conversion is complete and the document is saved as a word document I cannot access the links - I keep getting error messages or messages that say a program is not associated with the link.

Hi laytonbarb,
We would like to help!
Are they hyperlinks? If so - you will want to insert the links back in. If they are full links do they match the links on the pdf?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Regards, Stacy
