Working with StarrOffice Documents

Anybody knows how can i work with starrOffice documents in java? (open, edit,...)

Just unzip and check out the various files in a text editor. It's ordinary XML so you can use your favorite XML parser to parse it.

What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????

It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

"Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
- Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
- Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
- Is there a way to work around the problem?
I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
Thanks,
Michael

This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents from previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents. How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages? Have several pages windows open that I was working on.

I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
For some reason, this resolves the problem.
BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose".

While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time

While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time
Now I am working with FireFox
Today I have noticed that FireFox had this Google Talk pop-up
Maybe this pop-up Google Talk is what is causing Safari 7.1 to crash Attached JING of Google Talk pop-up on FireFox
So, back to SAFARI 7.1..how to stop this pop-up from crashing Safari 7.1

You downloaded a beta copy of 7.1 because the current version is 7.0.5. There was a mixup yesterday and 7.1 was accidentally made available for downloading. Do you have a backup you can restore from to get 7.0.5?
You can also try running the combo update to see if it will restore it.

[CS3 JS] Working with two documents of the same name

I work with sets of documents that use standardized names. I'm trying to write a script that compares two documents from different sets. Because the source and the target documents both have the same name, I've encountered some disturbing behavior that reminds me of the app.activeWindow bug that Dave has written about. (
Dave Saunders, "Scripting FAQ as Wiki" #14, 15 Oct 2007 12:19 pm)
To perform the comparison, I have to grab a reference to the same region of text in both documents, as offset from regular landmarks. I was just patting myself on the back for figuring out the "story.characters.itemByRange(begin, end).texts[0]" acrobatics required, when I discovered that my text objects were magically "dissolving" into invalid objects.
After a lot of debugging and attempts to hack around the problem (i.e. storing the text begin/end indices and not grabbing the text object until the last possible moment), I've narrowed it down to the references to the source and target documents. I've watched the reference variable to the source document *change* to instead reference the target document when I start accessing the target document object. Once this happens, any text objects belonging to the source document become invalid, as if the source document had been closed.
Is there any way around this? I've thought about temporarily saving the files to different names, but I haven't tried it yet.
Here's a script that demonstrates the problem (you'll have to find your own same-named documents if you want to run it):
var source = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/source";
var target = "/Users/deyk/Desktop/test/target";
function findChapters(in_doc) {
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "chapter-num";
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+";
return in_doc.findGrep();
var sdoc = app.open(File(source+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
var s_file_start = sdoc.fullName;
var s_chs = findChapters(sdoc);
var s_story = s_chs[0].parentStory;
var s_txt = s_story.characters.itemByRange(s_chs[0].index,
s_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
var tdoc = app.open(File(target+"/01.Genesis.indd"));
// At this point, sdoc now references tdoc instead.
// s_txt, s_story, and s_chs become invalid objects.
var t_file_start = tdoc.fullName;
var t_chs = findChapters(tdoc);
var t_story = t_chs[0].parentStory;
var t_txt = t_story.characters.itemByRange(t_chs[0].index,
t_chs[1].index-1).texts[0];
var s_file_end = sdoc.fullName;
if (s_file_end.name != s_file_start.name) {
var result = "What a nasty bug!";
"Finished";

I've tried saving the document to a temporary name, and it works satisfactorily:
function openFileAsTemp(a_file) {
var tmp_folder = Folder.temp.fullName;
var date = new Date();
var temp_file = File(tmp_folder+'/'+date.valueOf()+'_'+a_file.name);
var doc = app.open(a_file);
doc = doc.save(temp_file);
return doc;

Best way to work with Word documents?

Hi! New Mac user, bought a Mac Pro, tired of Windows many faults. I work a lot with texts, documents, and I'm used to Word. And working with colleagues in a Word world..
What is the experience of compatibility? Is iWork functioning good enough for receiving, changing/editing and returning documents, or should one have Windows installed in parallell, with the original Word programme? And same question about presentations - PowerPoint versus/interchangeable with Keynote?

OpenOffice 3.1
Virtual environment for Windows, but I wouldn't touch Parallels. Fusion or Sun's VB.

Best way to work with Word documents on Mac?

Just bought a Mac Pro, tired of the faults of MS/Windows. BUT I work a lot with Word documents, and have to keep doing so to interact with colleagues, I understand there are two possible ways - either install on my Mac also a Windows, and work in original Words, or use iWork.
What is the experience - is iWork fully compatible with Words? Interface problems when sending/editing back and forth? Grateful for opinions and tips!

I too was worried about Word docs when I transitioned over to Pages. I have not found any Word document so far that Pages could not open, that said, most of the time you will get a notice saying that some errors have occurred in the process. Most of these seem to be related to fonts, but if you have tables and spreadsheet segments, they can come out looking scrambled in Pages.
I can't comment on the export of Word docs and how they open on PCs but I do know that the PDF exporter from Pages is great (so far).
In fact Pages is great all around for simplicity, ease of use and dependability.

Why can't I work with ColdFusion documents?

Um... just updated and went to open some ColdFusion files I normally work with but can't open them at all. They are grayed out. And there is no longer a ColdFusion option in the "New" panel. And in preferences you cannot select ColdFusion as the default document type.
Did I just miss where it is?

I sincerely hope that someone can offer me a solution to this latest (and quite frankly greatest hiccup in the world of coldfusion for me). I NEVER post on blogs, forums or otherwise as I can usually find what I need to know if I look around but this is not the case. I was anxiously awaiting the new cc for dreamweaver since the purported tools that would make my development much more integrated with the latest methods only to discover this morning that there was absolutely no coldfusion "anything" in the program. I thought it was the way I set up the panels. But nope...
Now I installed cfbuilder. ok, fine it will cover all of the "programming" part of coldfusion and it looks like it will do that better. I get that.
BUT, how exactly do you take the "ugly" stuff that cfbuilder will help me build and actually turn it into a website that the latest trends require? I understand that I can open the file in dreamweaver and make it "pretty" but the real issue is that so much of the time the "application" that I am building is very much a part of the "website" that I am building - ok, ALL the time. What exactly is the commonly accepted workflow that will make this whole thing flow properly without having to switch between completely different applications all the time.
My issue is that maybe I don't understand that cf is a website language for displaying on web browsers, or am I wrong for the past 10 years...
Yes, I develop "applications" that are not pretty sometimes for the customer that needs a program made for them custom, but that is so rare that it does not accompany a website that holds it all.
How is this accomplished? I know I ramble and I hope I got my point across. Can you help me with finding a solution that will allow me to continue to use coldfusion in beautiful css and jquery websites as my customers have come to expect.
Please reply?

Since Reader X previous view tool not working with linked documents

We have many linked pdf documents. After upgrading to Acrobt Reader X we can´t go back to the parent document by using the "previous view" command. In older versions we can use this function to navigate back. Is there an option in the preferences to reactivate this possibility?

I have been told by Adobe support that this is not a bug, but a security feature.
Our company has, over many years, developed for our most important software application a PDF help system with hundreds of books and thousands of pages. There are myriad links between and within the books. In order to make navigation through this morass easier, we have provided our users a starting "Main Menu" with links to the books. We also set it up so that only one PDF is open at any given time ("open in same window" option), otherwise a user could end up with hundreds of open PDF documents on their taskbar or desktop. We also have our users take advantage of the "Previous View" mechanism to make it easier to navigate while keeping only one window open at a time. (The browser "Back" button trick will not work with PDFs that have been closed).
However, Since version X of the Reader, the Previous View mechanism will not work with PDFs that have been closed. That is, you can only get back to a previous view in another PDF if it is still open. As mentioned above, this could leave our users with hundreds of open PDFs, and thus it is not an option for us. But Adobe has ignored our pleas.
You must vote with your feet; that is all Adobe understands. Adobe does not care about our needs and we have given up on them. We are currently telling our users:
"If you use a non-Adobe PDF reader, you will be able to install it on a system alongside any version of Adobe Reader, including version 10. We have found that Tracker Software makes an excellent free product called PDF-XChange Viewer, which may be downloaded HERE. PDF-XChange has a smaller footprint, is faster, and has more features than Adobe Reader, including a 64-bit version for Windows XP/Vista/7.
To set up this program to optimally use our help system, go to Preferences, and under "General," specify that the Documents Layout be Single rather than Multiple. Then you will be able to use the Alt keys with the arrows, or the Previous/Next View buttons on the toolbar, with closed PDFs."

CF9 working with Word documents???

Hi, everyone.
Yet one more question on top of the one's I've started.
CF9: can it EASILY work with .doc(x) files?? I need to grab all content from Word files (including meta info and whatnot), insert into a CF variable/object, make minor changes, and then resave it as a .doc(x) file.
How difficult would this be?
Thank you,
^_^

Okay.. didn't find what I was looking for on Ben's site (all I could find was the POI for Excel), but I did find something on Raymond's site. getAllTheTexts. But I'm not sure this will do what I need it to do. I'll give it a shot and report back.

Working with Word Documents in Oracle8iDB

Hi, i'm trying to develop an application that save the text that I handle in Word Format and then save this file to my database. I already readed the documentation and tried some examples but I can't make it work. My Table name is TEXT with the following structure:
ID NUMBER(8)
DOCUMENT BLOB
Anybody that can help me with the code to insert a Word document in the document field??
Thanks
Leo

If what you want to do is to save your document as Word format and then store it in your database, there are two ways to do it.
1. Use internet File System
When you save your Word file, simply save it using internet File System. This might be the easiest way.
2. Use SQL*Loader

Working with Hebrew documents in English

I have a large Hebrew document (a book), created in Israel as a PDF, and I would like to try translating it into English. My plan is to feed sections to Google Translate, then hand-edit the output into better colloquial English.
Problems:
1. Adobe Reader (AR) prints the document as semi-random gibberish (there are a few recognizable Hebrew characters, but the rest of the text is smeared), whereas Preview prints it correctly. (AR will, of course, print a readable version when the "Print as Image" option is checked.)
2. I can't get copy-and-paste to work between either AR and Google Translate (on Chrome or Safari), or Preview and Google Translate (on Chrome or Safari).
I am using the latest releases of all of this software, and I did download and run Adobe "FontPack11009_XtdAlf_Lang.dmg".
I don't read or speak Hebrew, so temporarily turning my machine into a Hebrew system would not be useful.
TIA for any suggestions,
Mark

Tom,
Thanks for your replies. I am aware of the limits of machine translation from observing with great amusement examples between French (in which I do have moderate skills) and English. I didn't want to bore the Apple Community with the full details of my project plan, but it does involve both the book author, himself (an Israeli professor with decent English skills), and one or two Israeli high school teachers, who also have some English fluency. Another mitigating factor is that the subject matter (secondary mathematics and mathematics education) is one with which I am quite familiar, and, having read the author's earlier work (in English translation) on related topics at the elementary mathematics education level, I feel quite "in tune" with his philosophy and approach. That's why I volunteered my time for this effort.
Nevertheless, I would not, in a million years, dream of going through the original two-step process I mentioned above, and then releasing the output "into the wild." Thank you for your concern on that score.
The "Fonts" display out of Reader's "Properties" window has 26 entries. The encodings are almost all either "Identity-H" or "Roman", with the exception of one "Custom" and two "Built-in". Unfortunately, I don't see any easy way to export this list and upload it here. If that proves useful, I can resort to screen shots. I can also ask the author for either or both of (1) the source document from which he generated the PDF, and (2) permission to forward all or a sample of the PDF to you. But I thought that, before bothering him, I'd try to find out if I was missing something obvious to persons familiar with this sort of situation.
Thanks,
Mark
