I'd like to search a Word 2007 file (.docx) for a text string, e.g., "some special phrase" that could/would be found from a search within Word. Is there a way from Python to see the text? I have no interest in formatting - I just want to classify documents as having or not having "some special phrase". Thanks! Gerry ...
I recently learned about the basic structure of the .docx file (it's a specially structured zip archive). However, docx is not formated like a doc. How does a doc file work? What is the file format, structure, etc? ...
Hi, How do I load MS Word document (.doc and .docx) to memory (variable) without doing this?: wordApp.Documents.Open I don't want to open MS Word, I just want that text inside. You gave me answer for DOCX, but what about DOC? I want free and high performance solution - not to open 12.000 instances of Word to process all of them. :(...
I need to use C# programatically to append several preexisting DOCX files into a single, long DOCX file - including special markups like bullets and images. Header and footer information will be stripped out, so those won't be around to cause any problems. I can find plenty of information about manipulating an individual DOCX file with...
Hi, I have a need to populate a Word 2007 document from code, including repeating table sections - currently I use an XML transform on the document.xml portion of the docx, but this is extremely time consuming to setup (each time you edit the template document, you have to recreate the transform.xsl file, which can take up to a day to d...
Is there a way to link to a chm file, and therein to a certain topic, from a Microsoft Word docx document? Something in the lines of: "For more information about this Property see [link ref="./SomeDirectory/somedocument.chm!Sometopic.Somesubtopic" text="MyClass.MyProperty"] ...
Is there any way to print an OOXML document (.docx file) without having MS Word installed? It works nicely via the MS Word interface but I need to find a way to use it on servers where MS Word is not installed. I've been digging through the API and haven't found anything obvious so I'm inclined to believe there isn't a way. Is this the...
How do you search for a specific text inside a text run (in Docx using the OpenXML SDK 2.0) and once you find it how do you insert a comment surrounding the 'search text'. The 'search text' can be a sub string of an existing run. All example in the samples insert comments around the first paragraph or something simple like that... not wh...
Using C# how should I go about extracting titles subtitles and paragraphs from a docx document. I am thinking of doing this through VSTO but do know know the word object model. I am only familiar with the Excel object model. Should I take the unzip + linq to XML approach ? Using VSTO i could build an addin which could be used to edit ...
Hi peeps, I need to merge a whole bunch of docx files programatically. Imagine they are numbered 1 to 10. I essentially need a final.docx file that contains all 10 documents in it. If I can append the second to the first somehow, then I can repeat it for the third, then fourth, etc. Note that I do NOT need to rebuild a table of content...
I know I can generate PDF reports with SQL Reporting Service (even SQL Express can do this) and I can do Word documents with SQL Developer edition. Since my dev box is SQL Developer and my website uses SQL Express (I know, it's far from ideal) I would like to know if the reporting service that is included with SQL Express can generate Wo...
As part of our build process (java build with ant), I want to update a version number somehow in or near a Word document (software guide). "near" meaning I'd accept updating the document properties rather than something in the text itself. From looking around the internets, it looks like the main option is writing a small C# program tha...
Hey all, I'm trying to get the plain text from a word document. Specifically, the xpath is giving me trouble. How do you select the tags? Here's the code I have. public static string TextDump(Package package) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.Load(package.GetP...
I need a way to convert .doc or .docx extensions to .txt without installing anything. I also don't want to have to manually open Word to do this obviously. As long as it's running on auto. I was thinking that either Perl or VBA could do the trick, but I can't find anything online for either. Any suggestions? ...
I'm trying to create a program that reads a .docx file and posts it content to a blog/forum for personal use. I finally have figured out how to use libcurl to do (what I figured) was the harder part of the program. Now I just have to read the .docx file, but have come under a snag. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do t...
I am creating a C++ program that will read a .docx's plain text. My plan of attack is to rename the .docx as a .zip and then unzip. I then will rename the .xml file containing the text of the document as a .txt and parse it out. Right now I have figured out the renaming which was easy enough. I am now struggling with unzipping. I am...
We have a web application that displays a variety of document types to the user. When a user tries to view a docx file, they get a dialog box asking them if they want to save the file "DisplayDocument.aspx" if they are using Office 2003. I can reproduce this behavior and I've tried installing the Word Viewer and the File Type converter...
I need an automated process for creating docx files from xhtml source. The xhtml files contain images (<img> elements) whose "src" attributes point to an external reference. But the docx files need to be readable without a network connection, so I need to find a way to embed the images directly into the docx package (namely, in the /medi...

I would like to upload a Word 2007 or greater docx file to my web server and convert the table of contents to a simple xml structure. Doing this on the desktop with traditional VBA seems like it would have been easy. Looking at the WordprocessingML XML data used to create the docx file is confusing. Is there a way (without COM) to nav...
