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).

View 4 RepliesWhat 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 am maintaining a program that automatically does a mail merge based on a client list. Using earlier versions of Microsoft Word, such as 2003, I did not have any trouble simply using the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument() function, which takes a MAILING LABEL ID as its first parameter.The particular ID I'm now having trouble with in Word 2007 is "5160" which is an Avery label that should print three labels across the page (and it did in Word 2003). In Word 2007, it now prints 4 labels across.
From the research I've already done, apparently this is because the number of label templates has greatly expanded since the release of Word 2003, and now Word 2007 has a new set of label IDs that can be used with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function. In the case of the Avery 5160 label, its new ID to be used for Word 2007 with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function is "1359804671" and I have NO IDEA how that was calculated or where it was found.
I can't find the list of IDs to be used with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function for Word 2007 anywhere. I read in a Microsoft Developer's blog post that you can calculate the new ID by using the following formula:
Label ID = (vendor id << 24) | product id
Unfortunately, that doesn't make any mathematical sense to me as I don't know what "<<" and "|" are supposed to represent in mathematical terms. Can anyone tell me where to find or how to calculate (based on the vendor id and product id) the mailing label ID I need to use with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function?
How to open word 2007 in vb dot net windows application and go to the bookmark?
View 1 RepliesI 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

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 want to insert (store) a Word 2007 document into an SQL database field. I've previously done this with PDF files into an 'image' datatype field without problems. I can add the original document and retrieve it for viewing using Filestream as follows:
To add the file (where 'strPdfFile' is the file and 'myImageBuffer' is added to the field)
Dim myStream As FileStream = New FileStream(strPdfFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
[Code].....
This also works with a Word .doc file (substituting the file extension). With a .docx file however, when taking the ByteArray back out of the database and re-creating the document, there is a problem opening it with Word 2007. An error message says the file is corrupt but offers to recover the file, which it does successfully.
I know docx is OpenXML but in this case I'm not interested in the data structure (as such), I just want to store it. I guess I should be using a different method (Serialization?) but not sure which. I would also like to keep the field DataType (image) if I can.
