Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

January 30, 2015, 10:18 am
$

Hello,

I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File -> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does  not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.

If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.

Details on the application:

  • Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
  • Platform Target: x86
  • OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
  • Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)

Help!!

Regards,

Yogesh

Word 2007 Addin to add Watermark image saved as .doc file

I currently have an addin that was developed to work in both Word 2007 and Word 2010 with the assumption the addin would be used on .docx files.  However, it is now required to also work on .doc files but still with Word 2007 and Word 2010.  Although the following code works in both versions of Word, it will only work on .docx files and not .doc files.  On the line:

            Dim shape As Shape = doc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strWatermarkFile, linkToFile, saveWithDocument, headerfooterRange).ConvertToShape()

I get the Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

My code that works in 2007 on .docx files and not .doc files is:

    Public Shared Function AddWaterMark2007(strWatermarkFile As String)
        Dim app As Application = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application
        Dim doc As Document = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument
        Dim headerFooter As HeaderFooter
        Dim hfIndex As WdHeaderFooterIndex = WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterFirstPage ' WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary
        Dim linkToFile As Object = False
        Dim saveWithDocument As Object = True

        If doc.Sections(1).Headers IsNot Nothing Then
            headerFooter = doc.Sections(1).Headers(hfIndex)
        ElseIf doc.Sections(1).Footers IsNot Nothing Then
            headerFooter = doc.Sections(1).Footers(hfIndex)
        Else
            headerFooter = Nothing
        End If

        If headerFooter IsNot Nothing Then

            Dim headerfooterRange As Object = headerFooter.Range
            Dim shape As Shape = doc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strWatermarkFile, linkToFile, saveWithDocument, headerfooterRange).ConvertToShape()

            shape.LockAspectRatio = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue
            shape.WrapFormat.AllowOverlap = -1

            shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = WdRelativeHorizontalPosition.wdRelativeHorizontalPositionMargin
            shape.Left = WdShapePosition.wdShapeCenter
            shape.ScaleHeight(1, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue)

            shape.RelativeVerticalPosition = WdRelativeVerticalPosition.wdRelativeVerticalPositionMargin
            shape.Top = WdShapePosition.wdShapeCenter
            shape.ScaleWidth(1, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue)

            shape.Name = "WordPictureWatermark"
            doc.Sections(1).PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True

        End If


        app.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument
        app.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView
    End Function

Extracting Data from Word Table into Excel (2010 suite and VBA Macro)

January 16, 2014, 1:30 pm

Good afternoon and please excuse the interruption.

I am looking to do the following:

I have a 2000+ page Word document that contains a table. The table has 5 Columns (lets say they are named Column1-5 accordingly)

The goal is to export data from the word table and import it into an excel spreadsheet. Here is the twist though. I want the macro to look for a word in Column5, if the word Patent is in there, export that row into excel, if not, dont export it. It needs to scan the entire table and pull out the rows where the content in Column5 has the word Patent (it can be anywhere in that cell)

I came across a VBA code that when placed in Excel and run, will take the table created in word and export it all into excel, which is cool but I feel thats only 80% of what I need it to do.

Sub ImportWordTable()
Dim wdDoc As Object
Dim wdFileName As Variant
Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in Word
Dim iRow As Long 'row index in Excel
Dim iCol As Integer 'column index in Excel

wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.doc),*.doc", , _"Browse for file containing table to be imported")

If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)

Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file

With wdDoc
TableNo = wdDoc.tables.Count
If TableNo = 0 Then
MsgBox "This document contains no tables", _
vbExclamation, "Import Word Table"
ElseIf TableNo > 1 Then
TableNo = InputBox("This Word document contains " & TableNo & " tables." & vbCrLf & _"Enter table number of table to import", "Import Word Table", "1")
End If
With .tables(TableNo)
'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
For iRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
Cells(iRow, iCol) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)
Next iCol
Next iRow
End With
End With

Set wdDoc = Nothing

End Sub

I need it to also prompt for any doc or docx file.

Can anyone assist?

Hello,

Currently i am saving word document content(including fields,text,pictures etc..) into  a flat file by using filestreams. like this

  var iPersistFile = (System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IPersistFile) _WordDocument;
                    string wTempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
                    iPersistFile.Save(wTempFile, false);

                    byte[] wordDocBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(wTempFile);
                    using (var fWriteStream = new FileStream(filepathName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
                    {
                        fWriteStream.Write(wordDocBytes.ToArray(), 0, wordDocBytes.ToArray().Length);
                        fWriteStream.Close();
                    }

So , now i am able to open that flat file and copy & paste the content to current word document, but here it's opening as like embedded object i.e its getting a box around the data of word content see below image for reference. how can i open that flat file like as normal word document. I used below code to open the document. Any help would be appreciate. i am using win7, with office 2007. 

        DataObject objData = new DataObject();
                 string[] filename = new string[1];
                 filename[0] = _FilePath;
                 objData.SetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, true, filename);

Once I apply, due to changes page number it points to are no longer correct. If I try to do TableOfAuthority update then I lose all the formatting.

Good Afternoon,

I am playing around with VBA and I came across something that I tried doing some time ago. Add a custom XML file into the Word 2007 XML Format and then access it programmatically.

For instance; I have a list that I would like to load into a dropdown ribbon control. If I can create a small XML file with this information then I could read the information from the XML file and load it into the control.

Hope I am being clear.

Late Binding Word Automation creates a document with an unresponsive Ribbon

December 23, 2014, 7:21 am
$

0

I have a .NET ActiveX COM object that is calling Word and adding a template for processing. This template will get some data and then add in a layout template which will create the final document with the data and layout.

When it is all said and done, the Word document has all the data, however, when the user tries to access the ribbon (click on one of the tabs or an item in the visible ribbon), nothing happens (like it is disabled).  You can click into the document itself and if the document has bolded text or something like that the ribbon changes to reflect the changes in font. 

The only way for the ribbon to become responsive is to either minimize and reshow Word or select another application and then back to Word.  This "unlocks" the ribbon and you can interact with it.

I accidently left in a reference to Word 2010 when I was testing something and then the code I have worked.  I went back to late binding and removed the reference to Office 2010 and it does not work even though none of my code has changed.  The Word constants/enums I am using were already locally created and the methods I am using have the either no parameters or the appropriate parameters provided as far as I know.

In the code snippet below, the line "officeApp.ActiveWindow.Activate()" is what worked with early binding to cause the ribbon to be responsive immediately and allow the use to interact with the ribbon with no additional steps.  With late binding nothing seems to work.

Code snippet :

Dim reportDocument As Object = Nothing

Try
      officeApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
      usingExistingWord = True
Catch exp As Exception
      'Not Ideal - would prefer not to rely on Exception handle to catch this
      If officeApp Is Nothing Then
            officeApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
      End If
End Try

Try
      'Open process template
      templateDocument = officeApp.Documents.Add(Template:=ProcessTemplate)
Catch exp As Exception
      Success = False
      If Not usingExistingWord Then
            officeApp = Nothing
            templateDocument = Nothing
      End If

      Throw exp
End Try

If templateDocument Is Nothing Then
      'The process template was not loaded/added properly, abort code
      If Not usingExistingWord Then
            officeApp.Quit()
            officeApp = Nothing
      End If

      Success = False
      Exit Sub
End If

'hide Word while the process template runs its code.
officeApp.Visible = False

Try
      officeApp.Run("RunReport", _parameters, reportDocument)
Catch exp As Exception
      Success = False
      If officeApp IsNot Nothing Then
            If templateDocument IsNot Nothing Then
                  templateDocument.Close(SaveChanges:=False)
                  templateDocument = Nothing
            End If

            If Not usingExistingWord Then
                  officeApp.Quit()
            End If
            officeApp = Nothing

            If reportDocument IsNot Nothing Then

            officeApp.ActiveWindow.ToggleRibbon()

Referencing a command button

February 5, 2015, 1:41 pm

I have a Word (2010) template document which pops up a user form on Open.  The user form solicits info to go into the document and has a button allowing the user to post the info to the document, and then Save and Email it.   Or the user can click another button to just Save the document for editing and emailing later.  So, there is a command button in the document itself allowing the user to Email the document when it is finally ready.  I want to delete or disable the command button in the document if the user chooses to e-mail the document from the user-form.

I can't figure out how to reference the button in the document.  I have tried ActiveDocument.Shapes("btnEmail").delete and ActiveDocument.InlineShapes("btnEmail").delete and .Enabled=False with and without quotes to no avail. In each case I get one or another error message about member not found or property or method not supported.  Shapes.Count returns 0 members, and InLineShapes.Count returns 3 members.  I have tried code to delete every member of the InLineShapes collection, and 3 items are deleted (a couple of horizontal lines and something else), but the command button survives.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter
