I would like my program to display a word document. I am using VB express 2005 I attached a "Microsoft word 12.0 Object Library" Below is the nonworking code I have so far.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Imports Microsoft.Office.Core
Public Class Form1
Dim MSWord As New Word.Application
Dim WordDoc As New Word.Document
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click WordDoc = MSWord.Documents.Open("C:Demo.Doc")
Scenario: I have about 14000 word documents that need to be converted from "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" to "Microsoft Word Document". In other words upgraded to 2010 format (.docx).
Question: Is there an easy way to do this using API's or something? Note: I've only been able to find a microsoft program that converts the documents to .docx but they still open in compatability mode. It would be nice if they could just be converted to the new format. Same functionality you get when you open an old document and it gives you the option to convert it.[URL]..EDIT2: This is my current function for converting the documents
[Code]...
Also it opens word after about 2 or 3 conversions and starts flashing but keeps converting.EDIT3: Tweaked to code above a little bit and it runs cleaner. Takes 1min10sec to convert 8 files though. Considering I have 14000 I need to convert this method will take a reasonably long time.
EDIT4: Changed the code up again. Uses a threadpool now. Seems to run a bit faster. Still need to run on a better computer to convert all the documents. Or do them slowly by folder. Can anyone think of any other way to optimize this?

What would be the best approach for creating MS Word 2007 documents with vb.net that contains signature lines? I am currently in the planning phase of a project and I'm trying to gather some info. The idea would be to upgrade this program we have already developed(using vb.net) to generate .docx files that contain signature lines that are created progmatically. The signatures would be added later by the user through a workflow in SharePoint I just need to create the document with the lines. I have seen different tutorials on creating word docs, but not sure which method would be the best for what I'm doing. Where should I start looking?
Also, there doesnt seem to be too many tutorials on adding signatures line through code, more specifically how to automate the signature line setup. e.g. Who should sign, signers name, signers email address. How do I set these paramaters through code?
If the documents are created using Excel 97 or Word 97 the files are found. If the the documents are created using Excel 2007 or Word 2007 the files are not found.
I have checked the permissions between the two different versions and they appear to be the same.
why Dir dosen't work with Excel 2007 and Word 2007 files?
I want to open a number of RTF documents in Word 2007, one at a time, in a VB .NET program. Here is a small representative sample of my code:
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word Public Shared WordApp As Object = Nothing Public Shared WordAppInit As Boolean = False Public Shared Sub ExecWord() If Not WordAppInit Then On Error Resume Next [Code] .....
Sometimes it hangs on one of the WordApp or WordDoc statements in TestSub1; sometimes it gets all the way through TestSub1 without problems but then hangs in TestSub2. Often it leaves an instance of WinWord running so that I have to kill it in Task Manager or reboot the system.
i have a button and a text box so far, ooh ahh, when i push the button the text boxs text is set to the contents of a word document via the my.computer.filesystem.readalltext(file directory as string) method, because i dont want other people screwing with the document i have password protected the word document with the password eragon, so for those who are slow thinkers, not that you are that means i know the password to the doc. the problem is that because the doc. is password protected my program just shows four odd symbols, what code do i need to add to make my program auto unlock the file.
been working on a large scale project and Iow looking into the document print engine for the application. been a while since Ie built an app that retrieves data from the database and outputs to Word. I generally always used the mail merge feature of Word but after reading the link above this seems far easier.
I've developed an application in VB.Net 2010, Express edition. It uses Word Library functionality to access several .docx and .dotx files.Everything works in the development environment. However, after deployment, my application can't find any of the Word document files. I've added them to the project and to the Resources list under the Project Properties tab.The path I'm using to locate the docs and dots is coded in these ways:[code]Both of these statements work in the development environment perfectly. Not at all after deployment as an app.What can I do to make my application find the Word files after deployment?
I am having an issue with opening a document using Microsoft Word from ASP.NET MVC. This works perfectly on my dev machine but not when deployed to IIS. Dim word = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
Try ' set delegate Dim currentCallback As Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort = New Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(AddressOf ThumbnailCallback) ' get the current image
[code]....
is there a way to do a similar thing for word documents(or any text)? I just want to have a thumbnail of the first page.
I am trying to load multiple single page documents and then send them all to the printer in one job. In the end I'd like them duplex printed. At this point I only need to do this with word docs, but I'd like to know if I could do it with other doc types, like pdf? What about printing a one page word document, a two page excel document and a one page pdf document? Have page 1 of the excel on the back side of the word doc, and then the pdf on the back side of page 2 of the excel.
I create a program whose functionality would be selecting a file, then gets the contents of that file (Word or text files). The program, of course, has a Richtextbox on it where the file content will be filled to.
I have multiple <body> tags from an word document. I do this with the open xml sdk. So the new document should generated with openxml The body's comes from
I have so different body's in a list. With al different values. Changed some text in the xml. And saved them in a new list. Now must that list in an new word document. How can i do that? I tried altChunk. But my word document is always corrupt.
I am working on a project where I need to open microsoft word documents in a form with a panel (the document will be put into a panel).I found the code to try and use API, it would not recognize the file names (yes they are valid filenames).Tried a whole bunch of stuff. Here is my current incarnation:
Dim pi As New Process Dim i As IntPtr pi.StartInfo.FileName = FileName[code]....
It ALWAYS starts the word document in its own window and will not redirect it to my own program.I tried to redirect the output and it gave me a message that it was not a valid win32 application.
I would like to know if it is possible to have dynamic data in word (2003) documents. Let me explain, I will start with what we do now and how I would like to fix or change it.We have approx 35 , we will call them divisions for the time being, and each division has a folder on the shared drive. We have approx 700 ,lets call them customers for the time, and each customer has a folder located in the associated division folder on the shared Drive. (\DriveDivision#1Customer#1...\DriveDivision#32Customer#348 etc etc etc .)There is a MSword2003 document that exists in every Customer Folder that contains data about that customer (including but not limited too.Contacts, Notes, Customer #s etc) We will call this the DeCust.doc file for the time. A lot of the information in these DeCust.doc files can exist in another customers DeCust.doc files such as a contact name and address. One of the problems we run into is that a contact (lets say Smiths Plumbing Service) may send an email to notify of an address change and the person receiving the email will change the contacts address in the DeCust.doc files of the customers that that employee (employee #1) works with but, there are other DeCust.doc files in other customer folders that the address never gets changed in. When a different employee (employee #2) opens a deCust.doc file of a different customer that he/she works with the contact (Smiths Plumbing Service) the address of this deCust.doc: file is wrong (not updated).
I would like to solve this problem. I have already developed a Demo VB/Database application to be used in lieu of the DeCust.doc files but, I have met Way too much resistance in getting people to switch from using individual docs in each customer folder to using a database program. With that being said, I started wondering if there was a way to Link/populate/fill the contact information in these DeCust.Doc files to a central Database or such that when someone changes an address for a contact it is simultaneously changed in all the other DeCust.doc files.
I'm having some difficulty merging multiple word documents together using Microsoft Office Interop Assemblies (Office 2007) and ASP.NET 3.5. I'm able to merge the documents, but some of my formatting is missing (namely the fonts and images).
I am not an expert programmer and am just getting familiar with .NET office automation. I have two questions:
1. For me to create word documents from my code on a server, does word have to be installed on the server? My test server does not have word installed. Is there a way to have the code open word on the user's machine in this case?
2. I am trying out some code for creating word documents. It works fine on my machine. However, when I try to run it on server it gives me an error.. "Cannot create ActiveX component." Is this a permissions issue or related to the fact that the server does not have word installed?
I have been trying to find the best way create an Ole Object container of my own with the use of open-file-dialog, a button and a listbox. I just want to attach a file together with current dataset.I get an error that says 'Items' is not a member of 'Systems.Collections.ArrayList
Public Class MainForm Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim alrAttachments As ArrayList
Public objword As New Word.Application objword.Documents.Open(FileName:=ofilename)
^ Showing the declaration of the word document that i wish to edit.
Dim oDoc As Word.Document objword.Visible = True oDoc = objword.ActiveDocument oDoc.Range.Text = codes(j, 1) & " " & codes(j, 2)
This gets the document and adds text into it, exactly what i want it to do. But it replaces the whole document. I just want it to add text at the start of the document. Not replace the whole document.
A word document has several pages. How to split this pages into separate documents using VB.Net ?
I wish to automate this process.I used ms tutorial for basic learning: [URL]..But i do not know how to find page breaks in a document and move content of that page to separate document.
How do I open/view Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in a VB.NET Form? remember to mark the replies as answers if they and unmark them if they provide. Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
I need to find a Windows forms Text edit which can handle MS Word documents correctly.That is documents with Images, textboxes etc (.doc, .docx).I have tried Devexpress Xtrarichedit and TXText Control but when you load a MS Word Document (.doc, .docx) the document does not appear as it does in MS Word.That is Textboxes overlapping images are misaligned or have no transparent background option, so the white background of the textbox hides part ot the image.Has anybody had experience with 3rd party Document .net editors which mamage MS Word Documents correctly?
I am having no trouble displaying when the word is in the arrays, but I can't seem to make it display in a MsgBox that the word isn't in the database...Just get the error that the key is not in the dictionary..
