VS 2008 Editing Word Documents While Keeping The Original Text?
Jul 13, 2009
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.

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).
My current merge code is shown below.
private void CombineDocuments() {
object wdPageBreak = 7;
object wdStory = 6;
[code]....
I don't care necessarily how this is accomplished. It could output via PDF if it had to. I just want the formatting to carry over.

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 been on a hiatus from VB for some time. I was coding in C++ and C# for quite some years and on my venture back to VB, decided to put my trusty VB 6.0 on the shelf and try out the new 'rave' VB.NET. I'd first like to say, I can't imagine how different it is from older versions. I'm using Visual Basic 2005 and I find myself sometimes pulling my hair out over things that were common practice before, yet have been totally revamped. But I'm getting by, barely, but getting by.
My problem is this: I am writing an application that loads the Title field of a DataGrid (after being loaded from a DataTable of course) into a ListBox then sorts them. The problem is, upon sorting, I lose the original index value that pertains to that entry in the DataGrid. In other words, if the first ListBox item is selected, it contains the index value of the first entry in the DataGrid, which stores the rest of the data to fill the labels and controls on the form. I have a semi-workaround for this by iterating through the DataGrid and comparing the Title field to the text of the selected item in the ListBox, but the downside to this is that you could never have the same named item or you would only get data for the last item entered. My question is... Is there a way to somehow retain or store the original index values of a ListBox before sorting? If so, this would make my code a lot smoother and allow for multiple entries of the same name in the Title field of my database.
P.S. If someone could go through how to access items from the DataTable itself, I could get rid of the DataGrid altogether, as I don't need it other than to access the DB data. I couldn't figure out how to get at it while it is in the DataTable, so I loaded it into a DataGrid control and made it invisinel.

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 loading a word document into the web browser control using code like this:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("C:DocsTest DocumentsTest.doc") When I do this, everything works fine and the user can use all of the toolbars.
However, if after I do that, I then open word outside of my app, all of the toolbars in the word document in my app become disabled.
I have done some searching and found other people have had this issue and this MS article mentions similar symptoms, but offers no solution.

I am faced with quite a bit of a challenge: We have an (Oracle) database with about half a million documents in it. These documents are of all kinds of sorts: Office documents (.doc, .xls, etc.) but also email messages (.msg), text messages (.txt), images (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tif), .html files and even .zip files... The documents are saved in the database through an VB6 OLE container. So they are stored in the database in the same binary format as you would get when you call SaveToFile from the OLE container. Now I need to restore all these documents to their original files... For the Word documents I've found that I can read the binary data back into the OLE container and then use OLE automation for this by calling OleContainer.object.SaveAs(fileName). This works for about 90% of the Word documents. But for the other types of documents I haven't found yet how you can call the save function from code.

Below is an snippet from my project template. I have some classes I want to link to in the project.One of my developers created the template and I copied it to my PC.It seems to work on his, but when I create a new project, instead of keeping the hard coded path the "my documents" gets replaced.I know this is a little cryptic, but I was hoping to flesh the question out with your questions.[code]

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

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?

I'm using vb.net to check that certain Excel or Word documents exist in a folder.
EG
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyExcelFile.xls")
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyWordDoc.doc")
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'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 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.

DATA, TYPE, FILE TYPE, SIZE, DOC TYPE
0x15234324 , Word.Document.8 ,DOC, 19968, WORD.DOCUMENT.8
The field seems to contain a word document stored in a SQL Server IMAGE column
Has anyone come across this before or a way to extract this data in a readable format?
So far I have tried using PHP to extract the file and write it to a word document but not had much luck.
UPDATE: I now have Visual Studio Express and would like a way to extract this data and save to a word document

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 have a text file called: list.txt This is a list with all kind of lines like this:
14II_ARM_S_CLO_CLO_CLOVERIDS_PROPITEM_TXT_01194611IK1_ARMORIK2_CLOTHIK3_CLOAK=TRUE==200050000====PARTS_CLOAK=1==11=1===11_NONE Ofcourse every line has different numbers and letters.
The complicated bit is this:
I want to let Button1 check whats in TextBox1.Text and search "list.txt" for it. When it has got a match (there is only ONE of these numbers in list.txt).For example TextBox1.Text = "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And I search for that so I find the line above. Now I want 3 other textboxes which show the 21st, 22nd, 23rd column/number after "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And they should be editable by changing those 3 textboxes and clicking the apply button.How can I best do this, and please give a little example.
