I have a few custom icons (11 to be exact) that I added to my project using Flutter Icon. For most of these icons, everything is working as expected:
However, some of them just overflow out of their intended size, or are given a wrong size. No idea what the problem is, but here is how it looks like:
as you can see, the right side of the infinity loop is just hanging outside of its intended container (button). Also, if I try to be hacky and resize only the infinity icon, it appears to be offsetted to the right.
I can be hacky and create a custom size for the couple of troublesome icons, but I would like to know if there is something that I, or my designer (also me) can do to fix this properly.
Already Tried:
Converting to compound path.
Removing unnecessary tags such as <style> tags.
Using flutter_svg package. This works okay, but it seems to be less performant that the Flutter Icon method. My app has quite a few animations running at the same time, and animating a SvgPicture is a little bit janky.
So I haven't been able to find out why the problem is happening, but I found out how to fix it.
After uploading your custom icons' svg's into FlutterIcon you'll download a .zip file. This file contains a bunch of files, including a .ttf file, which is a font file that contains your icons. You will need to manipulate the symbols/icons in that file in order to fix the issue.
To modify the faulty symbols, you will need to download some font editing application. FontForge does the trick. Download it and open the .ttf file you got from FlutterIcon from it. Once you have it open, you'll see a window full of squares with Xs in them. These are the font's glyphs.
You now need to find the glyphs with your icons. To save yourself from a LOT of scrolling, you can go to Encoding -> Compact from the toolbar. This will hide all unused (empty) glyphs. You should now be able to see all your icons. You should have something like this:
Right click the symbol you want to fix, and click Transform.... You will then be prompted with a menu that will let you transform the symbol in anyway you want. Apply transforms on all your faulty icons until you are satisfied. Transform window looks like this:
Once you have finish all your modifications, got to File -> Generate Font.... Select the destination folder and the file name (make sure it has the same name as the .ttf file generated from FlutterIcons). Also make sure you the TrueType file type from the first dropdown menu:
Once you're done, click generate, and voila! Now you have the .ttf file with the correctly-shaped icons. If you still find that something is wrong with the icons, you can rinse and repeat this process until you're satisfied with the result.
In MS Word 2010, when I apply a dotx template to a docx files and different styles exist in the two docs, how can I map a list of styles from the former to a list of differently-named styles from the latter?
Let me clarify the issue.
I have a dotx style file with a few standard styles (ex. heading1, caption etc.) and a few other styles (ex. blockquote, superfigure etc.). I must use this template and cannot change nor add any names there.
I have a document preparation system (ex. pandoc, orgmode) that outputs a docx file. When I compare some of the styles used in this docx I see they have a different name compared to the previous dotx, yet the "meaning" is the same. For example the "blockquote" of the dotx should be applied to the parts of the docx that are marked as "quotedtext".
SO, how can I tell MS Word 2010 to apply the dotx style to my docx mapping "blockquote" to "quotedtext"? Any alternative solution using different tecnologies like xls transform or similar stuff?
Any hint would be really appreciated
In the Home tab, click the widget (little arrow in the corner) of the Styles group to display the Styles pane. Click the Manage Styles icon at the bottom, then the Import/Export button at the bottom-left.
In this dialog you can Copy styles across documents or templates, Rename and Delete them. If the other document or template is not open, click Close File (the right button) then Open File (the button-text changes to this).
Unfortunately, you cannot just switch one style for another (at least, not from here; see below). However, I believe the process of Copy, Rename and Delete could achieve the same effect.
Alternatively, press Ctrl-H for the Replace dialog and press the More>> button. Place the cursor in the 'Find What' box, then Format at the bottom-left, and Style... Choose the style you want to replace. Do the same in the 'Replace with' box. However, the style you want to replace with needs to be available in the current document. Use the sequence outlined above to first bring across the styles you need into the current document. A quick way to bring in all the styles from the other document or template is to copy content from this doc/template to the bottom of the current document, deleting it later.
It is also possible to use the Styles dialog (mentioned above) to modify styles, changing the Style Based on property. However, I wouldn't recommend this approach. You will need to be very thorough and be fully aware of the consequences of the cascade; that is, how each modification affects other styles in the document.
If you need to go through this process for a large number of styles then use the macro recorder. You'll then need to modify the generated code, putting it in a loop.
I have to write some documents that will include source code examples. Some of the examples will be written from the IDE, and others would be written in place. My examples are primarily in Java.
As someone who is used to LaTeX, doing this in Word is extremely painful. However, I am bound to Word for this. The only options I have seen are:
Write or copy into the document,
then use a fixed type font, arrange
formatting and hope that Word didn't
uppercase stuff for you. Needless to
say, this looks like crap.
Copy and paste screenshots of source
code from the IDE. At least I keep
colors. However, if I change my font
size, I'm screwed. I'm also screwed
across page boundaries. And let's
admit it, Word is not great at
managing multiple images on a
document.
Write HTML (not really an option
here)
Is there some better (and ideally portable) way to do this? Is there at least some sort of verbatim style similar to the LaTeX environment? Is there at least some pretty printer that I could copy-and-paste as RTF?
I absolutely hate and despise working for free for Microsoft, given how after all those billions of dollars they STILL do not to have proper guides about stuff like this with screenshots on their damn website.
Anyways, here is a quick guide in Word 2010, using Notepad++ for syntax coloring, and a TextBox which can be captioned:
Choose Insert / Text Box / Simple Text Box
A default text box is inserted
Switch to NPP, choose the language for syntax coloring of your code, go to Plugins / NPPExport / Copy RTF to clipboard
Switch back to word, and paste into the text box - it may be too small ...
... so you may have to change its size
Having selected the text box, right-click on it, then choose Insert Caption ...
In the Caption menu, if you don't have one already, click New Label, and set the new label to "Code", click OK ...
... then in the Caption dialog, switch the label to Code, and hit OK
Finally, type your caption in the newly created caption box
I recently came across this post and found some useful hints. However, I ended up using an entirely different approach which suited my needs. I am sharing the approach and my reasoning of why I chose this approach. The post is longer than I would have liked, but I believe screenshots are always helpful. Hopefully, the answer would be useful to someone.
My requirements were the following:
Add code snippets to a word document, with syntax highlighting for easier visibility and differentiation of code and other text.
Code snippet shall be inline with other text.
Code snippet shall break across pages smoothly without any extra effort.
Code snippet shall have a nice border.
Code snippet shall have spell-check disabled.
My Approach is as listed below:
Use external tool to achieve syntax highlighting requirement 1 above.
One could use notepad plus plus as described above. However, I use the tool present here - https://syntax-highlighter.k26.ch/. This gives me the option to use line number, as well as very nice syntax highlighting (Please use Google Chrome for this step, because syntax highlight is not copied when using Mozilla Firefox, as also pointed out by couple of user comments). Steps to achieve syntax highlighting are listed below:
Open the website provided above in chrome and Copy the code snippet in the text area. I will be using a sample XML to demonstrate this (XML sample from here - http://www.service-architecture.com/articles/object-oriented-databases/xml_file_for_complex_data.html).
Select the language from drop down menu.
Click "Show Highlighted" button. It will open a new tab, with syntax-highlighted code snippet, in this case the XML sample we chose. See image below for example.
To Turn off the line numbers, inspect the page in chrome. Then, under styles, deselect the "margin" property in ".dp-highlighter ol", as shown in the image below. If you want to keep the line numbers, go to next step.
Select the syntax-highlighted code and click copy. Now your code is ready to be pasted into Microsoft word.
Thanks to this blog for providing this information - http://idratherbewriting.com/2013/04/04/adding-syntax-highlighting-to-code-examples-online-and-in-microsoft-word/.
2. To achieve requirements 2, 3 and 4 above, use table in Microsoft word, to insert the code snippet. Steps are listed below:
Insert a table with single column.
Paste the copied text from step 1. in the table column. I have kept the line numbers to show how well this works with Microsoft word.
Apply border, as you like. I have used size 1pt. Resulting Microsoft word snippet will appear as shown in screenshot below. Note how nicely it breaks across the page - NO extra effort needed to manage this, which you would face if inserting "OpenDocument Text" object or if using "Simple TextBox".
To achieve requirement 5, follow the steps below:
Select the entire table or the text.
Go to Review tab. Under Language, choose "Proofing Language". A new pop-up will be presented.
Select "Do not check spelling or grammar". Then, click OK.
Resulting text has spell-check disabled. Final result is shown in the image below and meets all the requirements.
Please provide if you have any feedback or improvements or run into any issues with the approach.
You need to define a style in your Word document and use that for source code. I usually have a style called "Code" which has a monospaced font in a small point size, fixed size tabs, single line spacing, no before/after paragraph spacing, etc. You only need to define this style once and then reuse it. You paste in your source code and apply the "Code" style to it.
Note that some editors (e.g. Xcode on the Mac) add RTF as well as text to the clipboard when copying/pasting between applications - Word recognises RTF and helpfully retains the formatting, syntax colouring, etc.
Source code in Xcode:
Copied and pasted to Word:
(Note: it's a good idea to disable spell-checking in your "Code" style in Word.)
It kind of depends on the IDE. Both Visual Studio and Eclipse, for example, will allow you to copy as RTF and paste into Word, keeping all your formatting.
Notepad++ has a plugin called "NppExport" (comes pre-installed) that allows you to copy to RTF, though I don't care much for Notepad++'s syntax highlighting (it'd definitely be passable though). What it does do is support dozens of languages, whereas the aforementioned IDEs are limited to a handful each (without other plug-ins).
Use this - http://hilite.me/
hilite.me converts your code snippets into pretty-printed HTML format, easily embeddable into blog posts, emails and websites.
How:
Just copy the source code to the left pane, select the language and the color scheme, and click "Highlight!". The HTML from the right pane can now be pasted to your blog or email, no external CSS or Javascript files are required.
For Microsoft Word document: Copy the the content from the Preview section and paste to your Microsoft Word document.
3 sections : Source Code , HTML and Preview
These answers look outdated and quite tedious compared to the web add-in solution; which is available for products since Office 2013.
I'm using Easy Code Formatter, which allows you to codify the text in-place. It also gives you line-numbering options, highlighting, different styles and the styles are open sourced here: https://github.com/armhil/easy-code-formatter-styles so you could extend the styling yourself. To install - open Microsoft Word, go to Insert Tab / click "Get Add-ins" and search for "Easy Code Formatter"

Creating an object solved all of my problems.
Insert > Object > Opendocument Text
This will open a document window, paste your text, format it how you want, and close it.
The result is a figure. Right click the object, and select 'add a caption'.
You can now make cross references, create a table of figures.
If you are still looking for an simple way to add code snippets.
you can easily go to [Insert] > [Object] > [Opendocument Text] > paste your code > Save and Close.
You could also put this into a macro and add it to your easy access bar.
notes:
This will only take up to one page of code.
Your Code will not be autocorrected.
You can only interact with it by double-clicking it.
On a Mac I find this solution with vim to be wonderful:
https://github.com/zerowidth/vim-copy-as-rtf
There is an easy way if you want simple code formatting.
Open word> Insert tab> click on "Get Add-ins"
search for "Content mixer"
3.click on "Add"
Then content mixer add will open automatically and you can copy paste your code in there and click on "Insert" to insert it in word doc.
You can use Open Xml Sdk for this. If you have the code in html with color and formatting. You can use altchunks to add it to the word documents.
Refer this post Add HTML String to OpenXML (*.docx) Document
Hope this helps!
This is what i did.

You can using Plugin Syntax Highlight in Ms.Word https://store.office.com/syntax-highlighter-WA104315019.aspx?assetid=WA104315019 . i follow that step and it's work
In Word, it is possible to paste code that uses color to differentiate comments from code using "Paste Keep Source Formatting." However, if you use the pasted code to create a new style, Word automatically strips the color coded text and changes them to be black (or whatever the auto default color is). Since applying a style is the best way to ensure compliance with document format requirements, Word is not very useful for documenting software programs. Unfortunately, I don't recall Open Office being any better.
The best work-around is to use the default simple text box.
I have tried all your methods, but they didn't work for me, in fact I have created an easier method using MS Word Tables.
Pros:
More beautiful
Easier to manage & more consistent
Are less prone to problems
No need for external plugins or MS Word micro coding.
Easier to handle by simple users (such as myself).
Cons:
It will not maintain code colouring although someone could improve my trick.
Steps:
Insert a 3x3 table, in my case I always make the total width of the table equals the free page's width (3 rows minimum to test the tables style).
Use invisible borders ("No Borders" option), and activate "View Gridlines" option. it should have this aspect.
Be ware that those lines are for you to see the table's grid, and the will not be printed.
Make the adjustments to cells' spacing and columns' width to get the aspect you like. (You will have to get in "Table Properties" for fine tuning).
Create a "Paragraph Style" with the name of "Code" just for your code snippets (check https://stackoverflow.com/a/25092977/8533804 to get the idea, you don't have to follow all of it)
Create another "Paragraph Style" with the name of "Code_numberline" that will be based upon the previous created style.
In the newly created "Code_numberline" add the numbering style that you like (this will automate line numbering).
Apply "Code_numberline" to the first column, and "Code" to the 3 column.
Add a fill in the middle column.
Save that table style and enjoy!
So I've found the majority of answers on this question to either be only semi-functional or broken entirely (eg the website used is down). This solution is entirely self-contained in Word, works across multiple pages, and keeps your syntax highlighting.
Here's the steps:
Temporarily set your IDE's theme to a light one, so that the text will fit in with the rest of your document.
Copy the required code (HTML colourising info will be copied with it).
In Word, hit Ctrl+Alt+V and choose HTML Format to paste the coloured text.
Select all your text and then expand the styles gallery on the home tab of the ribbon.
Choose "Create a style". Use a name such as "Code"
Right click your new style in the gallery and choose "Modify".
Under the formatting section, change the font to Consolas or your choice of monospace font. Also set the line spacing to Condensed (this option is next to the text alignment options).
Under the format button in the bottom left, choose "Language", then enable the "Don't check spelling or grammar" option.
If you want this style to be available in future documents, change to the "New documents based on this template" radio button.
Optional: for line numbers...
Back in the Modify Style dialogue, choose the format button again and choose "Numbering".
Choose the "Define new number format" option.
Remove the dot after the number '1' in the number format box.
Choose "Right" as the number alignment.
Hit ok, then select your new number alignment option. Finally, hit ok on the Modify Style dialog.
Finally, select your code, and set it to be the Code style, which should apply all the required formatting.
Is there an app that can change the order of images inside an icon?
Thanks!
What you'll need to do that is a resource editor. A google search will reveal many free ones out there. The restorator is a great one, but not free and over-priced IMO.
Any decent resource editor will allow you to see icons in the exe or dll and save them or replace them. I don't know of any that will allow you to reorder them, but just about any out there would allow you to save the icons out and then replace them back in the exe/dll in whatever order you'd like.
The only resource editor I know of that will allow you to re-order the embedded icons including png compressed vista icons is Resource Tuner Console.
You can change the image order using Pixelformer (an icon/bitmap editor). Import the icon, reorder the images as you wish, then export it back.
Using a resource editor is not an easy way to do this because you have to edit both ICON and ICON GROUP and I tried to do this with Resource Hacker and could not do it.
I found Easy Icon Maker is able to rearrange the order of the icons properly... it's the only icon editor that I found with this option, and I tried about half a dozen. The editor itself is not nearly as good as IcoFX (http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/icofx_portable)
Why would you want to do this? Well there are certain times when Windows will use the first icon file that matches the size, but this may not be the color-depth that you want... for instance if you are on an older machine like Windows 2000 that doesn't support Alpha Channels then putting these at the beginning of your ICO file will cause Windows 2000 to try to render it so it results in black dots all over the image.
