Visio File-type differences? - visio

Just looking to understanding what the difference is between a Visio Stencil File (.vssx) and a Visio Drawing File (.vsdx)?
I'm unsure if there will be an issue with using the file in importing the file into MS word.

A .vssx is a stencil document type and represents a container for master shapes that will be 'instanced' in a drawing document (.vsdx). If you're embedding in Word then you'll be adding a drawing document.

Insert an Image In a Word Document that Changes When Image File Changes

I currently have a report being written in word. I have JPG files of graphs that are output from an Analysis. I would like to have the JPG image display in my word document but if I replace the file it would update the image in the word document.
Example: This image is in a folder named graph.jpg I would like to have this displayed in my word document report.
But later I may re run my analysis and overrite graph.jpg with the image below and I would like my word document to update reading that file.
You don't need any code for this. All you need to do is paste your image into the document with the 'paste link' option. That way, Word will the document whenever the image changes.

The auto numbering/bullets of the Source MS Word document do not automatically align with those of the Destination MS Word document

It happens when a user inserts a Word Document(Source) into another Word Document(Destination) - auto numbering/bullets didn't work...
I wont to insert text here, and continue auto-numbering of source as it in destination:
Step 1
But it inserting above without auto-numbering:
Step 2
I have an answer from MS that it's a feature of MS Word :(.
So, the question is - is it possible to automatically align the above either by use Word Automation ( via C# , .NET Interop Word APIs )?
I mean to align the source document contents as per the destination document’s Auto-numbering. The same is about Bullets...
Please help - we are open to any suggestions/ recommendations.
Both documents need to have the same style definitions for both the Paragraph Style of the text being copied and also the List Style that organizes the numbering or bullets. Using automation, you can copy styles between the files before actually moving the numbered or bulleted text.
I agree with John.
The basic idea is to use the Define New MultiLevel List Dialog to define a new multilevel list in which each level you would be using is attached to an existing paragraph style. A paragraph style can be attached to only one level in one list. Then use the styles to apply the numbering.
Once you have them set up, you apply the numbering by using the styles, not the numbering controls.
Setting up the numbering linked to styles can seem a bit convoluted. Step-by-step instructions for doing it in Windows can be found here:

Generate .hhk file From Word Document

I am trying to convert MS Word file to chm file. I have a well organized word document. But,I could not figure out how to word saved as a html file to chm file. I know I can add html file to created project but there are some issue such that I could not solve how to convert ms word table of content file to index file in html help workshop program. I would be very happy If someone provide some example about conversion of word documents.(I am trying to achieve this thorough HTML Help Workshop program)
Best regards,
Converting a Word document to CHM format is difficult without special (often expensive) tools and has a learning curve.
You should think about whether the PDF format is not sufficient. But the CHM format - integrated in the Windows operating system - has of course some popular functions.
I recommend to read through Search and Index not working after converting from Word 2016 to CHM.
As I mentioned in my answer I never used chmProcessor before (because using other tools) but surprisingly seems to be a good one for converting Word documents in a simple way.
Please try chmProcessor for your needs. You may want to ask a new question here on SO later.

How to use SyncTeX with Org-mode?

Background
With SyncTeX you can get forward and backward search between a source document and the typeset material. More specifically:
Forward search is to jump from a particular place in the source document, e.g. a LaTeX file, to the corresponding place in the typeset material, e.g. a PDF file.
Backward search is to jump from a particular place in the typeset material, e.g. a PDF file, to the corresponding place in the source document, e.g. a LaTeX file.
With Org-mode you can export as LaTeX and process it to PDF.
Question
It would be useful to be able to do forward and backward search between an Org-mode file and the PDF it produces on LaTeX export. Is this possible?
As mentioned, SyncTeX already implements forward and backward search between a LaTeX file and its resulting file. So the missing link seems to be the jump between the Org-mode file and the LaTeX file it is exported as.
I found a similar question on the mailing list: [Orgmode] synctex!! ...syncorg? It got no answer involving a solution.
There is a recent (April 2013) thread on the org-mode mailing list which has some preliminary patches. However, reading the emails, it seems like it's a tricky problem.
There is a more recent (depending on your frame of reference) post from October 2013 which has a solution. However, I have not been successful with that code, and re-raised the issue in this thread.

Word Document with images File size

I am actually placing screen shots into the MS word document. When i save the document am not sure of which format the image is being considered. The size of the Document is becoming very large. Is there any option in MS word to save the document as a smaller file.
Whilst this isn't a programming-related question, I'll attempt to answer what I think is your question.
All images saved in Word are stored at their original resolution, at their original size, regardless of any resizing/cropping that is performed in Word itself. If you want to reduce file-size, crop/compress the images externally before inserting them into a Word document.
Look at Word Tips sites like
http://www.klariti.com/microsoft-word/Reduce-Microsoft-Word-File-Size3.shtml
and apply the solution.
A quick technique i use to reduce the size is open up MSPaint via Start Menu > Run ...and copy the screenshot in there. Then you can save the file as a JPG, and Insert the JPG into your word document by accessing Insert > Picture > From File.
