Adding Multiple Images At Set Location

Dane Balia — Thu, 23 May 2013 07:53:11 GMT

I currently am inserting images with Picture Content Controls, but there appears to be an obvious limitation (by nature of the control) to only 1 IMAGE.

How can I add multiple images at a set location using the OpenXML SDK (2+)?

PS. I did try BookMarks but that doesn't seem to work, just results in a broken document. I already have quite a bit of code that's building an existing document, so considering the mHtml route is not an option. Lastly I did try the OpenXML SDK Productivity Tool, but still can't see how to insert multiple images at a set location.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I did check the forum and found nothing matching.

Thanks

Find two paragraphs by inner text and insert xml in between them.

thomasFR — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:56:59 GMT

Hello, my first post here because i'm stuck and I am new to open xml.

My problem is the following, I first need to locate two specific paragraphs...

Example : locate <w:t>lambda text1</w:t></w:r></w:p> and <w:t>lambda text2</w:t></w:r></w:p>

Then delete all xml between these two paragraphs.

Then I need to insert into main document part xml that has been built from scratch (tables, paragraphs ect...) exactly after the </w:p> of the first located paragraph in order to replace the content that was previously there between my two located paragraphs.

I can build all the elements I wish to insert but I just can't find a way to replace an old complex content by a new one.

I hope my question is clear... Many thanks !

Multiple OleObjects (Linked Objects) are not getting merged properly using DocumentBuilder

fenilrathod — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:44:03 GMT

Hi,

I'm getting issues during merging multiple documents having OleObjects (Linked Objects) having external relationships to files using DocumentBuilder.

You can reproduce this issue by having multiple linked objects in it and try to merge them using DocumentBuilder.

As a result you will have a merged document with OleObjects with broken external relationship and you will no longer able to update those objects by clicking them.

I just want to know if this is the issue with DocumentBuilder or I am doing something wrong?

Clone Bookmark

websamurai — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:29:32 GMT

Hi all,

I need to copy one bookmark (source) in a word document on an other location in the same document (destination).

This bookmark contains other bookmark and content controls.

I can duplicate the bookmark but all the bookmarks are now in the duplicated one.

I need to work on the original bookmark (source).

The main feature is the copy paragraphs and bookmarks with within a main bookmark and remove the unused paragraphs defined within bookmarks.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Compare two documents and merge the changes using RSIDs

fenilrathod — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:09:26 GMT

Hi there,

I have a scenario where after editing the document (i.e., adding, deleting, moving paragraphs), I need to merge those changes to original document. And related to this I've few questions on which I would like suggestions.

1] How can we identify that the document is edited or changed? After doing some research I've found RSIDs in the settings.xml could be useful for this. But not getting how to use it exactly.

2] How can we compare two documents based on RSIDs and merge the changes?

Thanks,

Tricky: MS Word vs Google Docs: Numbering starts at 2 whilst

kdeebee — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:47:43 GMT

Consider the following MS Word document numbering (attached is the original .docx file):

In summary this numbering consists off:

Three paragraphs with <w:ilvl w:val="2"/>
Then a paragraph with <w:ilvl w:val="1"/> that is under consideration
A last paragraph with <w:ilvl w:val="1"/>

When opening the "Bullets and Numbering" menu for the considered paragraph, it states that counting starts at 2 for level 2 (thus ilvl 1), so you would expect the paragraph under consideration to have a number of 2. All makes sense!

My challenge is that I do not find anything in the underlying XML to back this up, and am therefore not able to render this document properly in my consumer. The steps I follow are as follows:

The paragraph has a pStyle of "ListParagraph". This style does not contain any numbering information, nor does the "Normal" style that it is based on.
So we look at the <numPr> information in the document part: ilvl = 1, numId = 15
In the numbering part, the numId of 15 is mapped to an abstractNumId of 16. There is no lvlOverride tag to consider.
The relevant lvl (given ilvl = 1 and abstractNumId = 16) contains the following tag: <w:start w:val="1"/>.
Based on a start tag of 1, I would have expected a count starting at 1), instead of 2).

Maybe <w:lvlText w:val="%2)"/> plays a role here? But my understanding of this tag is that it states that the numbering of Level 2 (i.e. ilvl 1) applies here, with an ")" character at the end. So "%2" is replaced with whatever number is applicable at ilvl 1, and given it is the first item in this list... we look at the <w:start> tag... which is set to 1?

I am obviously missing something here. Does anyone know why the considered paragraph starts with a 2, instead of 1?

FYI: I opened the document in Google Docs and the folks at Google seems to be confused too... as they use 1 as well!! ;-)

numbered list are reinica

danxkode — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:53:18 GMT

How about working with Word2007'm processing the PowerTools for OpenXML document that I need to convert HTML where I need to identify each element of the template by which items are added rich text type on the Developer tab where each element is added to the text with numbered lists eg

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1. if

1.2. no

2. RULES

2.1. if

2.2. no

3. SANCTIONS

the problem is when it processes the next item as it resets the list numbered 1 as follows

1. POLICY

1.1. if

1.2. no

2. OPERATION

2.1. if

2.2. no

when serious or is right and so is set to create the content of the document

4. POLICY

4.1. if

4.2. no

5. OPERATION

5.1. if

5.2. no

summarizing this correct full processing would be as follows

/ ******* ******* ONE ELEMENT *****/

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1. if

1.2. no

2. RULES

2.1. if

2.2. no

3. SANCTIONS

/ ******* ITEM TWO ****** /

4. POLICY

4.1. if

4.2. no

5. OPERATION

5.1. if

5.2. no

Embedding Documents/Object in Word by Using the Open XML SDK

The element has unexpected child element Validation error

Phlow — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:10:40 GMT

I'm getting a number of validation errors that I'm not able to resolve.

The errors that validation is complaining about seem to be fine to me, from a documentation standpoint.

Is there anything I can do to see why it's complaining? Maybe analyze the xsd? The descriptions don't really explain what conflict it's finding.

Validation errors:

Apply existing styles in Word

GenesysMarty — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:35:17 GMT

I've been able to create code that takes an existing document and inserts text (paragraphs and tables). I've found sample code that creates a style and applies it. What I cannot figure out is how to apply a style that already exists in the document ("Heading 1" or "Heading 2") to the paragraph I am inserting. I've used this as my example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg188062.aspx

The Word document I'm inserting text into is pre-formatted based on a corporate template, with the cover, TOC, etc. and I am using OpenXML to append text to it, but need to apply the existing styles to preserve the look of the document, and to have the Table of Contents update correctly. I'm working in Visual Studio with VB.

Any advice I can get will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Marty

What types of pictures can be embedded in a word document

ajfish — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:21:49 GMT

Hi,

I can't find anywhere in the documentation where there is a mention of what types of picture can be embedded in a Word document. It seems this is always done with an <a:blip> element but that does not in itself define the type - I presume that's left for word to decide on the basis of the file extension.

If there isn't an official list, can anyone name any more please, so far I have:

png, gif, bmp, jpeg, emf, wmf, emz, wmz,

Thanks

Restarting numbering after section break...

gemmell — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:45:25 GMT

I'm loading a template docx and generating content into it. As a part of this process I put in a section break and then continue to generate. However I want to tell it to restart that numbering.

Now I've read the spec for <w:lvlRestart> and friends, and I've seen what word does when you right click->Restart Numbering (it adds something like this:

document.xml

         <w:pPr>
            <w:pStyle w:val="StyleHead1"/>
            <w:numPr>
               <w:ilvl w:val="0"/>
               <w:numId w:val="42"/>
            </w:numPr>
         </w:pPr>

numbering.xml

   <w:num w:numId="42">
      <w:abstractNumId w:val="35"/>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="0">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="1">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="2">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="3">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="4">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="5">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="6">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="7">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
      <w:lvlOverride w:ilvl="8">
         <w:startOverride w:val="1"/>
      </w:lvlOverride>
   </w:num>

Where the w:abstractNumId is pointing to the abstract numbering element that the paragraph style (StyleHead1) is using. So I reckon in a pinch I could generate this...

BUT: Is there another way? Maybe I've missed a document setting which is "restart numbering after section breaks" or something like that? It seems to me like something that people would want to setup in their document template...

Any help much appreciated.

PS. Is anybody aware that the code prettifier is broken? It only loads once (so you only get once chance at inserting code) when using Chrome 23.0.1271.64 m

How to remove blank pages in word file

winsonkwok — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:45:22 GMT

Hi Eric White

Want to share some of my experience here since I can't find any appropriate soultion in the internet. If you want to remove blank pages that found in a word document with large number of pages, say more than 1000 pages, here is the C# code to achieve this:

using (WordprocessingDocument wdoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(filenamehere, true)) {

XDocument xdoc = wdoc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument();

xdoc.Descendants(W.r).Descendants(W.br).Where(x => (string)x.Attribute(W.type) == "page").Select(x =>x.Parent.Parent).Remove();

// save the xdoc back to wdoc, not quoted here since this code can be easily found in the internet

}

This code will remove all the Paragraph node with page break ONLY (blank pages)

After that, save back the xdoc into wdoc (reference back the code you talked before)

And Remember to reference OpenXmlPowerTools dll file
