AutoCAD 2013 :: Insert Word Document By OLE Object Function
Jul 10, 2013
I want to insert a word document with several pages in autocad by the OLE OBJECT function. The problem is the insert only the first page. How to follow the other pages?
I am trying to insert a multi-page table created in word but am only getting the first page once inserted..... short of converting each page into a PDF then inserting.
Im trying to link mtext in an acad drawing to a word document. For example, when I write a legal description based on a drawing, in word, I want the text that I am referencing in the drawing to be linked. In other words, if I change the text in the drawing, it will automatically change the text in the word doc.
I was telling an engineer the other day that I could probably insert his general notes from MS Word into AutoCAD and create nice clean pdf files of the CD sheets that he could email to clients. On second inspection I could tell that, yes I could copy, paste it in, but fixing all the formatting would be a nightmare. Is there any way to retain the formatting such as numbering, tabs etc. when bringing it in to AutoCAD? The idea is to have it be an editable document, so I don't want to just bring it in as a OLE object, pdf or scan.
how to export attribute data from a block to a MS Word document template. I am looking to create a check sheet for a drawing, i.e. open a drawing, click a button and a check sheet will be printed out that the operator can complete and sign. However all the drawing info from the title block would already be complete (extracted from the titleblock block attributes).
I am trying to work out the best way to import a word document into Designer Pro 6 and am struggling.I have a 21 page word document which is formatted text only i.e. no graphics included. I have exported this from Word as a RTF file. I now want to import this into DP6 so that I can use the power of DP6 for embedding all the graphics that I want.
Ideally what I would like to be able to do is to set-up a page with a text area, import the RTF document and insert it into the textarea and for DP6 to create the following pages with flowing text areas. I don't seem to be able to do this.
I think I must be missing a trick as in Gary Bouton's excellent book on Xara Xtreme 5 he says in the section on "Pouring Text into the Layout" (Page 198), that "Xara automatically adds pages to a document to handle text that won't fit on a page.".
I have been sent a Microsoft Word document of text and photographs. The photo will need to be professionally doctored in Photoshop before commercial printing.
I have tried copying and pasting the images from the Word document into Photoshop but they lose a considerable amount of quality.
Is there an ideal/professional way of 'unbedding' the photos in Word and transferring them into Photoshop without losing detail?
I am using version CS6, I would like to know if there is an easy way to import a MS word document into InDesign. The document is about 1000 pages and contains text, images and tables.
I need publishing a PDF from a Word document full of diagrams created with Adobe Illustrator CS6. My diagrams are all vector. I am free to export them anyway I like. My Word doc has many cross-references, footnotes and Endnote references and a large table of contents. It is a few hundred pages long, with around 50 diagrams. I would like to preserve the original quality of the vector art and the intra-document clickable links.
Each step in the process has multiple possible paths, and each path often many options. There are 3 steps:
1) Export from Illustrator to: .ai, .pdf, .eps, .wmf, .emf optional 1b) Convert (eg. use Acrobat to convert .ai to .doc, .eps or .ps)
2) Import to Word: drap and drop, file cut and paste, insert picture, insert object, insert object linked to file, PDF Reflow (Word 2013). I tried them all.
3) Publish to PDF from Word. Many different paths... - Print to PDF: I have AdobePDF, PDFCreator, NovaPDF printers installed - Save as... : Save as->AdobePDF or Save as->PDF or XPS - Plugin toolbars: Acrobat->CreatePDF, NovaPDF->Save as PDF, PDF Architect->Convert or - Save as .doc and convert with Adobe Acrobat.
I have tried many different permutations. There are 4 possible errors: E1 - The diagrams are converted into bitmaps. E2 - The diagrams are 'linearised' - curves are converted into chains of linear sections E3 - The diagrams are corrupted - text missing, characters changed, dotted lines become solid lines etc. E4 - Hyperlinks are lost.
Here are some results of my tests. I see no difference so far between Word 2007 and Word 2013. Results below stand for both.There is no difference between Word->Acrobat->CreatePDF and Acrobat->Convert Word to PDF.Illustrator -> AI -> Acrobat -> Word almost works, but diagrams are corrupted in various ways (eg. dashed lines become solid).When export from Illustrator as EPS level 2, EPS level 3, EMF, WMF and PDF and get different results depending on the path to PDF:
No links preserved: Word->Print to AdobePDF: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2) Word->Print to PDFArchitect: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2) Word->Print to PDFCreator: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2) Word->Print to NovaPDF: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E3), PDF (E1), wmf (E2) Word->Toolbar->PDFArchitect: Simply prints with current postscript printer. One of above.
So, only the "Word->Print to PDF" pathways provide good quality vector diagrams, but none of these preserve intra-document links.
I have: - Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 (Illustrator, Acrobat etc. all latest versions) - Word 2007 (latest version (SP3 12.0.6683.5002)) - Word 2013 (Office 365 latest version) - Access to a Mac with Word 2011.
I inherited a document (yes, you heard correctly) that was designed in Adobe Illustrator (I have the CC version). This is a 10 page document with a lot of text and fake tables. Why the original author used AI for this document but now, I wish to convert this document into a more appropriate tool.
I don't know, perhaps I shouldn't be surprized that AI doesn't have much in the way of text based exports (except PDF and pure text)... PDF isn't ideal because it outputs blocks that are out of order, making it difficult to copy and paste into another editor.
Ideally, my preference is either HTML, MS Word, FrameMaker, Robohelp, CHM, or Dita. Is there a super-secret method to export an AI document into one of those formats?
I am placing a Word document into InDesign CS6, and no matter what options I choose in the import options, the font styles are not imported into InDesign At the same time, InDesign CS3 imports all the styles perfectly from any Word file.
So i have a simple block of basically a point. i also have alot of points to input. I know i can attribute the block with promts such as levels or dates etc.. but is there a way to make the block do this by itself when level is already entered? also is there a way to insert multiple block (like the points) using excel concatenate function? or can i input the points and have date and level shown in a text form?
I have a massive block of dummy text set up in Illustrator 5 and the easiest way for me to change the dummy text is to overwrite it as one would when using the Insert function.
I want to know if I can access elements in the parent document from the Function I attach to the Stage or other element within my animation.i.e. the equivalent of window.parent.document.getElementById
I notice that the function automatically passes 'sym' which I'm guessing is the animation document reference so can I get to sym.parent?
The spell check works, almost. when I type a word that spell check does not recognize, I get the red underline, but when I choose to add it to dictionary, no dice. if I ignore, close the editor and reopen, the red underline is there.
How to export the .dwg file to Microsoft WORD as a base/background for further word processing on top? Is there any direct way to convert the file that can use in WORD?
