IDE :: Saving PrintDocument As A Word Document File Rather Than Printing It?
Feb 7, 2009
I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition under Window XP.I am able to generate a document that I can preview and print on my printer using PrintDocument1_PrintPage and PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog() without problems.I would like to be able to save the document as a file that could eventually be printed with a Word Processing program such as MS Word or other Word Processor.I have added a PrintDialog to my form and have set the folowing:
When I run it, I get a Dialog Box with a "Print to File" checkbox that is checked. I do not seem to be able to specify a file name or location. When I click the "Print" button, I don't get any error messages and the dialog box just closes. I can't find anywhere that the file is saved.
I have created a module that prints a simple report. I want to be able to email this report to a number of people. What are my options? And, how do I go about it. If I can get it converted to either a Word or PDF document, I can email it.
My printer name is \abcFirst Floor A-Block its taking name abcFirst Floor A-Block on NE04:. How should i print it Private oWord As Word.Application Dim lobjDoc As Word.Document
Dim strFolder as String Dim pd As New PrintDocument Dim strPrintername as String oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") oWord.DisplayAlerts = Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone oWord.ActivePrinter =strPrintername
I have a function on my program that allows a user to load a listbox filled with words that are matched with words inside a databank. The databank is filled with 2 string arrays and file of .jpg Pictures. The Arrays attached to each word inside the listbox are approximately one page. Each page is two paragraphs of Text(string Array) and one Picture(20Kbytes).My problem is this. When the user selects the option print all, the listbox with approximately 10255 words is selected and begins to fill a Microsoft Word Document.Because the alotted amount of space needed for the MS Word Document is approximately 5 Gbytes,I need to open about 10 Documents and insert the String Array's and Pictures into each document one at a time.Is there anyway to check the filesize of the Open Document before saving the document.This way I could check the open document inside the algorithm for 512 Mbytes of memory and save the document before the size gets above 512 Mbytes.[code]
is there a way to get the raw data of a word file document object?
word = new Word.Application();doc = new Word.Document();
now, I open the word file, do some replace. save the file. I could open the file as raw binary file. but I'm thinking maybe there is a property that can get the raw the data? which property?
I have a program that prints using the printdocument control. How do I check for errors in the program. Sometimes the program prints ok, sometimes the print does not print at all or give any feedback about the status of the print.
Bireirectional printing is enabled on the printer.
The program prints barcoded orders to a barcode label printer. The supplier's only cue to supply is the printed barcode label. I can see in the program that the orders are getting queued, and at certain intervals a timer runs to update each available order's status to "printed".As far as I am aware, there is no "Error" event of the printdocument control, and the printing is an asynchronous operation. So how should I check?
I'm sending a rtl text "Arabic" to a receipt printer. My problem is in selecting left and top coordinates for each line. If the paper width changes the whole procedure needs to be written for that specific width, because I'm measuring form the left edge. Is there a way in the printDocument object that flips the starting point from left to right?
p.s. the format string in the args.Graphics.DrawString() only select the direction of the printed string in case it has some numbers and symbols but it doesn't start the string from the right edge of the page.
VB.net printing of multiple pages is simple enough utilising the Printdocument. Previewing the pages via the PrintPreviewDialog control is also simple enough.BUT Whereas the doc.print() will cause all pages to be printed stat - the Print button on the PrintPreviewDialog control calls the printPage handler one more time before printing.As all pages have been laid into the document this extra call to the printPage causes only a blank page to be printed. defeat the PrintPreviewDialog call to the handler? - Other than building, previewing and printing each page as a separate job!
I need to pass a parameter to the event PrintPage of the PrintDocument relative to my PrintPreviewDialog in some way.I tought to inherit PrintDocument class adding to it a property with the parameter I need, creating MyPrintDocument class. Then, I would like to create MyPrintPreviewDialog class, in which I could override the Document property declaring it of MyPrintDocument type.The problem is that the Document property is not overridable and if I declare it Shadows the PrintPageEvent doesn't raise.
The application I support is creating an amalgamted Word document by copying couple of Word documents in one document right after each other. The problem is the format of the some of the fields of the document that gets appended is changed in amalgamated document while the amalgamated document is the copy of AppendDocument (imagine if we have one document to copy in the amalgamated document)
in my VB.NET project I included a word document called PrintOut.doc as resource (My.Resources.DocumentPrintOut)Now the question is how can I convert this resource to a Word.Document object so that it is possible to open and modify it?
We are opening a Word document from our Visual Basic 2010 application using the Word object. When we run our application under Windows Server 2008 the document name is truncated in the main window title for the document. This is not the case when we run our application under Windows XP. Is there a way to prevent this truncation under Windows Server 2008?Mary Leathem
The string is measured to determine how many characters and lines it contains via the following code:-
'Determine characters and lines required to print the core report data e.Graphics.MeasureString(str, printerFont, sz, strformat, chars, lines)I've implemented a pageNumber integer variable which I increment in the PrintDocument.PrintPage.
I'm wondering how to print the TOTAL number of pages, not just the current page? Could this be worked out via the number of lines and page type (portrait/landscape) and perhaps margins?
Where can I find information on how to use XPS Document Writer to create a Word or Adobe document?I can print my VB2008 print document to a file, but how do i convert this file to Word?
We have an interactive windows based application written in VB .Net 2010. It uses Word Object to display documents in MS Word. We have a form with a button. When the button is clicked we open the Word document and maximize the Word Windowstate. When we have the Visual Studio Tool running, the Word Document is maximized and has focus, even if we are running the exe from the bin folder outside of the tool. However, if Visual Studio is not running and we run the exe, focus remains on the original form window and the document stays in the task bar.
I have been trying to figure out how to read paragraph content which exists a heading. The heading itself is part of the table of contents. The heading will have a particular style (say Heading 1). For example: "Introduction" is a entry in Table of content with style Heading 1. I want to read content under heading "Introduction" but not any more content (i.e not content under sub headings of Introduction) I have been trying to do this using styles/style, TableofContent, Paragraphs/Paragraph,Range. Still cannot come up with a effective solution. I am working in VB.NET in VS 2010. I am using the word 2007 object model (office 2007 interop) as [URL]
I have a VB.net application that gets data off our server with ODBC and populates and saves a Word Document. When I try to deploy it to another computer it will get the data just fine and populate the first document, but it will crash before saving it. I've installed the .net framework 4.0, Microsoft Data Access Components, and the Microsoft ODBC .net data Provider. The error code is 0xC0000005, which is from what I can see is called an "Access Violation Exception." It works fine on my computer.
I have document, with numerous pages, that will populate at key locations using a UserForm and bookmarks. One of the pages in the document may need to be repeated. In other words, one of the pages may need to be populated more than once (and inserted successively in the document).
The troublesome page has bookmarks that will need to be repopulated with different information for every new instance within that same document.
I am considering making a table with the verbage in the "Troublesome Document" located in a Table. When I need to repopulate a new instance of that page, I think I should:
1. populate the document 2. copy and paste the wording in a new page 3. insert the new page (without bookmarks yet maintaining formatting) before the "Trouble Document" 4. repeat steps 1-3 for every necessary instance 5. delete the "Trouble Document" with the Table
I'm trying to read a word document for the purpose of obtaining a word count, I realise Word has built in functionality for presenting a word count but I want to write a little app that will omit certain parts of the document from the word count.
So far I have tried this code to open the document but I am getting an error 'Word.Document cannot be found' and 'Microsoft.Office.Interop cannot be found'. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library under the COM tab. I have Office 2007 installed and I'm using VB2005.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop Dim appWord As New Microsoft.Office.Core.Application Dim docWord As New Word.Document docWord = appWord.Documents.Open("c: est.doc")
My system has Office2007. And i use VB.Net to automate word. Everything works fine. But when tried to save in Word2003 format(.doc), it is not working. But the saved document is readable in Word2007.
Dim WordApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application() Dim MyDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
I am currently using the following code to print a word document[code]...
However I have found it to be buggy with our shared printers, this bug only happens when printing using word. It works fine when doing print automation with PDFs(Adobe Reader) etc.
What I am looking for is some code in vb.net which will allow me print this documents and I have to be about to specify the printer it uses.
does any one have a clear annotated sample code for printing a document from with in vb with out calling word processor, for example
i have a form(Clients) and three textboxes(txt1)(txt2)(txt3)
i want to print the three txtboxes from vb and i want to be able to tell it where on the page it should print and may be show me preview of the page before printing?
i have never used printdocument function or printdialog function
I've created some windows in wpf that I need to print to one xps document. Each window opens, loads the relevant data and then immediately closes. Currently I use the below code to create the xps:
Using doc = New XpsDocument(TempLoc, FileAccess.Write) Dim writer = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(doc) Dim collator = writer.CreateVisualsCollator() Dim Window1 As Window1 = New Window1() Window1.ShowDialog() [Code] .....
However the trouble with this approach is that the area printed varies between machines - I assume this is due to the local screen size being used etc. Is it possible to make the program print the full window independent of the computer its on by modifying this code?
