Xls and .pub files

I run the Disabled Photographers Societys competitions, in this role i collect a lot of data, i have always used Windows but recently took the plunge and swapped to Mac, which i am very pleased with, i have moved all my documents over but cannot open them, particularly the xls (excel), spreadsheets and .pub files which i make the certificates on, the easy solution would be to buy Microsoft office for Mac, but i just cannot afford the £300+ price tag, i have tried everything, are there any low cost programs that could help me with these, i have tried iwork and have tried changing the file extension in windows and then swapping them over, can anyone help, i need to get this competition wrapped up by the end of this week, and so far this is the only aspect of Mac thats causing me grief. Many Thanks, Mark

For the Excel files, I've also read that Open Office works well. There is also NeoOffice/J, another free Office clone. I don't know if you have a G4 or an Intel Mac mini, but I think one of those programs doesn't work on the Intel Macs.
Like Doug said, there is no program on the Mac that can open Publisher files. As a matter of fact, no program other than Publisher on the PC can open them! I did come across a link recently that might help - http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/publisher/f/share_pubfiles.htm. I haven't checked it myself since no one has sent me a Publisher file recently.

Unable to open .xls and .xlsx files from windows explorer or from Microsoft outlook using MS Office 2007

When I double click on an .xls or .xlsx file Excel will open up, but I never see the file open up.
If I right click on the excel file and say open with excel I then get the following error:
"Windows cannot find file c:\test\test.xls. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again...."
Everywhere I looked seems to indicate the file associations was messed up so per a technical document I deleted the .xls and .xlsx association and then ran the Office 2007 repair and rebooted. Still not working even after office puts the .xls and .xlsx
file associations in.
Here is what I see the in .xls and .xlsx for the &Open action:
Application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e
UseDDE: Checked
DDE Message: [open("%1")]
Any guidance would be appreciated!

In the ened I had to go into Excel Options, Advanced, General, and uncheck the "ignore other applicaitons....". BUT this only worked after doing the Office 2007 repair.

Xls and csv file format

I have a xls file that I can read and modify using POI. Users are providing another file in csv format that the program should read and make adjustments to the xls already read in the memory. Can anyone suggest the most efficient way to implement this?

Its possible but I don't see a real clean way of implementing it. There are also a lot cases to consider when doing the data merge.
Lets say its the most simple case where the data from the csv should be appended to the excel file starting one row after the last row of data.
For writing data to a HSSFSheet in POI you should look at the poi examples, there is a method that returns the last row num on the sheet, then from that you create new rows while incrementing the last row num for each csv record. Then for each column in the csv you need to create a new HSSFCell from the HSSFRow object in Poi, set its cell type to texta and sets its value to the csv value.
Thats the main loop right there. As far as reading a text file as csv format so you can easily navigate it on a row by row and column by column basis I'm not sure whats out there to do that for you.
Hope that helps! - Duncan

Add the ability to use .xls and .xlsx files for Data Merge

Who wouldn't like that?!

Me! Me!
Or rather: I think the big empty part of Data Merge right now is its inability to handle XML input. Much as I detest XML, it seems like a lot of people would really like that to happen, it does appear to be a Web 2.0 -type technology that it's easy to get the InDesign Marketing team excited about.
It's easy enough to convert XLS/XLSX into CSV (or XML), so I think improving XML would be a better use of scarce resources...
(I can't believe I'm tossing out a vote in favor of XML. Kill me now!)

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.

“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”

Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
Anything planned?

I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

Slow access when opening XLS or DOC files over the network but XLSX and DOCX files are fast

I am working with a small office that has 3 Windows 7 Pro PC's. Two of these PC's have shared folders that hold Word and Excel files and all 3 of the PC's have drives mapped to these shared folders. When browsing these mapped drive in Windows
Explorer and double-clicking a file 1 of the computers takes about 30-50 seconds to open any file with a .doc or .xls extension. It opens .docx and .xlsx files in a couple seconds though, it also open PDF files very quickly. The other 2 PC's
have no trouble any any type of file. I have tried many things over the last couple weeks to get this fixed. I have added the file locations as 'trusted locations' in the Trust Center and added a couple Registry tweaks to the SMB/ lanman workstation
and server. 2 PC's are running Office Pro 2010 SP2 and the other is Office Pro 2013, the one having the slow access is running Office 2010. Has anyone come across this problem and have any advice??

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

[BUG] Exporting to xls and xlsx produces empty file

When I'm viewing a table with data, and in Actions choose "Export...", turn off "Export DDL", choose "xls" for format, everything else is on default, and either leave empty or enter same name for both Query and Data worksheet names, and specify filter query - export produces empty xls/xlsx file. Only when one explicitly enters different worksheet names does valid non-empty excel workbook get generated with two differently named worksheets.
Either validation should be added for worksheet names, or generating them automatically on export should be supported.
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 3.1.07.
Kind regards,
Stevo.

Hi Stevo,
Really appreciate you reporting this. There was an earlier, somewhat similar thread on this issue that we blamed on export file size:
Sql Developer 3.1 - Exporting a result set in xls generates and empty file
But you have discovered an important variation that explains it for small export file sizes also. Here is what I verified on 3.1.07.42:
1. Normally if the worksheet names are left untouched (empty), then the names default to Export Worksheet and SQL
2. If the name settings in Tools|Preferences|Database|Utilities|Export|Excel Format are null (empty), there is no problem
3. If the name settings are intentionally changed to a single blank character, then the problem you describe occurs.
So, you may wish to go to the preference settings and intentionally Backspace over each to null it out, then click OK.
In the case of intentionally setting both worksheet names, data and query, to the same non-null value, that is also a problem.

Gary

How to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table

Hi,
Please tell me how to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table in Oracle 10gR2 using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2.

....can we do something through Non-Oracle->ODBC?Yes, it is possible, look at this thread
[SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2502982]
If your server (with target DB and OWB runtime) is on Windows OS this configuration will be simpler - you can use single server.
And additional link on OWB blog (with 11g transparent gateway)
[http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2008/01/11g_heterogeneous_agent.html]
(configuring nonoracle connection with 10g generic connectivity very similar to 11g gateway)
Also look at

Comparing an excel file to and xml file and appending data to the xml file

I have an xml file (mapsource) and an excel file. One of the columns in the excel file matches up with a node in the xml file. I want to be able to loop through both files and add a new node to the xml file where the one of the columns in the excel file matches a node in the xml file.
I can create a query object out of the excel dosument using the cfspreadsheet tag.
I'm able to use xmlparse to create a xml document object from the xml file.
What I would like to do is add col_3 from the excel spreadsheet as a new node when col_2 is equal to gpx.wpt.name.xmltext of the xml object.
Any help or direction would be very helpful!
