Hi, I am working on a Word VBA macro app for 80 or so users. The office has high staff turnover, so training suffers, and so one of the self imposed requirements for this project is comprehensive, friendly documentation. However, to supplement this, and to save newbies having to open up a 100 page document when they want to try somethin...
I've written a VSTO addin for Word 2003 which is working correctly. The only problem is that the adding displays a commandbar which is also appearing when I create a new email in Outlook. How can I prevent the commandbar addin from displaying in the context of Outlook and only in Word? Thanks, Brian. ...
One of my applications deals with MS Word and Document creation/editing/formatting. I am using Office 2007 w/ VS 2008, and i'm coding against the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word library, which seems to work with either 2003 or 2008. I create a Textbox in a Document using the Document.Shapes.AddTextbox method, and then filling it with te...
I have a set of word documents that contains a lot of non-embedded images in them. The url that the images point to no longer exist. I would like to programmatically change the domain name of the url to something else. How can I go about doing this in Java or Python ? ...
I am looking to convert any format to/from HTML. I'd like to support DOC, DOCX, PDF, ODT, RDF, DocBook, and TXT. I have found lots of format-to-format conversion utilities, but for convenience of implementation, a single tool is best. This will also make it easier to add new formats as the vendor or open-source project expands the lib...
Does anyone know of a good Aspose.Word alternative (or similar) product? Can you mention any pro/con for using either? I am currently evaluating Aspose.Word, and although it works like a charm, it's missing some of the functionalities that I require. UPDATE: We ended up writing our own DOCX generator. We are still using Aspose.Word to ...
Hey there What I need to do is convert Microsoft Word .doc files to PDFs or images. This has to occur in Java. I have done a fair bit of investigation already. I've tried Davisor Publishor but it doesn't give me the accuracy that I need - for instance text overlapping in the output document. Adobe has something called LiveCycle. Anyon...
What's the best way of converting PDF docs to Microsoft Word format in PHP? This can be either as a PHP script or calling a (Linux) executable (with proc_open()). It just needs to be relatively fast and produce quality Word documents (in 97/2000/2003 format). Commercial software is OK. ...
Hi guys! I'm thinking about including the Apache POI into my application. Main goal is to output RTF document, but DOC would be nice, too. But the documentation is not very detailed about writing a HWPFDocument and everything I found on the web isn't helpful at all. I can read DOC files, that's working without any problem. But I really...
The following piece of code shows an Insert table dialog: Dialog d = WordApp.Dialogs[WdWordDialog.wdDialogTableInsertTable]; int result = d.Show(ref missing); if (result == -1) // if user pressed OK { d.Execute(); } The problem is that the dialog does not respond to mouse clicks. It responds to keyboard input, though. Moreover, i...
When opening a word document a macro should start and it did for a while. But the I save the document when the macro was activated and after that I get the error message "The macros in this project have been disabled" when I open the document. I have tried different security settings but without success. Does anybody have any idea what...
We have a project where we need to provide search over a collection of Word documents through a web-based interface. The client would like for the search terms to be highlighted when a user opens a document. Is there a way to do this directly in Word when opening a document? The only alternative we can come up with is to convert the Wor...
We're currently doing some Word automation, and want to be able to insert a Style Separator into a Range object. We've found how to do it with the Selection object (InsertStyleSeparator) but can't seem to figure out how to do that with Range objects. Does anyone know how to make that work? Relevant links I've found so far: Style Separ...
I have a ASP.NET intranet application that has a document library section. The user can click on a link to a MS-Word document that resides on the server and can then edit the document if required within the browser (IE). The problem is that when they come to save their changes it needs to write it back to the server but instead wants to...
I was wondering how to avoid using Windows clipboard, when you want to "replicate" multiple sections of a Word document (using VBA in macros) Why to avoid? Because we're using Word on a server, in a multiuser environment (I know that it is officially frowned upon) Otherwise, this would be easily accomplished with Selection.Copy and Sel...
Hi all, I've had someone else's pile of stuff handed to me. Among these items is a Word 2003 add-in (VSTO 2005 SE, .NET 2.0) that reportedly had been working fine in 2007, but our deployment environment calls for 2003. It installs apparently fine for Office 2003 -- no errors, shows up in add/remove -- but the toolbar is unavailable with...
I am trying to open a user/pass protected [Alfresco] webdav document from a Java applet, using Jacob and COM Automation. I pass "http://usu:pwd@srvs/docu.doc" to Documents.Open, but it seems to ignore the auth information. Is there another way to pass this information or somewhere else to authenticate beforehand? Notes: The document ...
I am executing code on the WindowSelectionChange event in Microsoft Word. How come when I open another document, that does not have this macro referenced in it, the code is still being called on WindowSelectionChange. I do not have the macro stored in the default template, it is stored in a template not referenced by my other word docu...
I've found a superb HTML to PDF converter in Prince XML. Now I'm looking for something of similar quality to produce Word documents from HTML + CSS. This is on PHP/Linux. ...
Hello, I'm working on an app which uses embedded Word documents. We have a feature which allows them to insert a small clickable image into the doc - when the user clicks on it, we want the app to open another window based on some data specified by the user when the image was added. What the application does now is: When the image is ...
