My Word interop application needs to get content out of a cell of a table in a word document. The problem is, that the formatting for some items seems broken. For example the last item of a list does not have the list style applyied. Headings are only normal text etc.
The same happens if you create a table, create a list in the table and try to copy / paste the list to somewhere else.
Has anyone else had this problem and maybe found a solution? Is there any way to trick word into giving the correct formatting?
Thanks in advance
Example code
Range range = cell.range;
range.MoveEnd(WdUnits.wdCharacter, -1);
...
range.FormattedText.copy()
The range includes the end-of-cell marker which should not be exported. I just noticed, when not altering the range, list are correctly formatted but the whole cell is exported as a table, which is bad because i want to import the content into another document (where this would nest tables infinitly)

I'd like to include an image into a mail merged word document based on the presence of a single value in a column which contains several values.
e.g. if the cell contains the value BOB insert image, if it contains any other value then do nothing.
Most of the {INCLUDEPICTURE} functionality seems built around including a different image based on a filename matching a cell value.
{INCLUDEPICTURE} "MERGEFIELD Selection_identifier).png"\*
MERGEFORMAT \d }
Works provided I translate selection_identifer in the spreadsheet itself, but there has to be a better way. There seems to be little information about this particular usecase online.
If you are only using a single image and it does not vary between merges, you should probably just use
{ IF "{ MERGEFIELD Selection_identifier }" = "BOB" "<the_image>" }
where <the_image> is a copy of the actual image, sized how you want, pasted between those quotation marks. In that case, there would be no need for an INCLUDEPICTURE field or a reference to an external image file.
As usual, all the {} have to be the special field code brace pairs that you can insert on Windows Desktop Word using Carl-F9 or similar.
In an empty table cell with the cursor inside, I am inserting multiple paragraphs of text (each with different styles) using insertFileFromBase64.
When no newline is present at the bottom of the Base64 DOCX file, the last paragraph will not receive the style assigned to it within the Base64 DOCX file.
However, when a newline is present within the Base64 DOCX file, I cannot get rid of it. Selecting the last paragraph within the cell and performing a delete does not return an error, but the newline remains present.
I guess this is related to the special status of the "cell marker" within Word, but I cannot find a way around this problem.
Does anyone know a solution?
Found workaround myself: when you FIRST set the style of the current paragraph to the style of the very last paragraph that is contained in the Base64 DOCX file, then the problem can be avoided. (Of course, this supposes that you know upfront the style of that very last paragraph -- which is not necessarily always the case.)
In word, I'm using docvariables to manage pluralization.
A VBA macro is changing the value of several docvariables to pluralize / singularize them.
But sometimes I want to use a Docvariable only for enable/disable a 's' suffix.
Problem: I cannot set it to empty string, because it deletes the docvariable.
The field displays an error in word.
So I'm searching a way to achieve this, it could be :
A way to keep a Docvariable existing, with empty string or equivalent value
A field formula which make this job if the variable doesn't exist
Any other workaround would be appreciated.
Thank you
A Document Variable (used in DocVariable field codes) cannot exist if it has no content.
A possibility would be to also store the space in this DocVariable so that it display s[space] or just [space].
Otherwise you may need to write this information to a Bookmark (possibly using a Set field) and display the content using a Ref field.
I am new to fop , will be greatful if i get help from someone...,
I am not using XSLT tranformation but creating XSLFO file directly using Java code. Everything works fine but the problem comes when particular word(long text without space) is inserted into a cell of a table-column . That bigger word is overlapping the successive block.
I have an fo:block element in fo:table-cell which is in fo:table-row of a fo:table. This table has 6 columns, obviously column width is small. Now, when a Word in the block is larger than the block it is overlapping the next block. Give me some attribute value or any other solution to change my XSLFO file ,so that the bigger word breaks into the new line at end of the column.
Thanks in advance...
The things you need to look into are:
For the fo:table-cell: number-columns-spanned="3"
For setting the width of fo:table-column: column-width="proportional-column-width(1.5)"
The number-columns-spanned is used as attribute of and provides you with a means to select a bigger area where your fo:block fits.
The column-width makes it easy to define absolute width or, when using proportional-column-width, a width relative to the other columns.
I don't know of a way that lets FOP break words into multiple parts when they don't fit.
I am programmatically adding an OpenXML paragraph to a Word Document and I need to be able to identify that paragraph as mine later on. Any ideas on how to do this? I have tried inserting an XML comment and extended attributes but when you save the document in word it removes all unknown xml. It doesn't matter if it is an attribute in the paragraph or the run, or an element before the paragraph, just some way I can identify it later on. Also, I do not want this identifier visible in the word document.
Examples of what I could use:
<paragraph id="myParagraph"></paragraph>
<otherelement>myparagraph</otherelement>
<paragraph></paragraph>
Any help would be AWESOME because my head it hurting from the brick wall I have been running into.
Thanks!
Give the paragraph a w:rsidR attribute and assign a unique value to it; if there is no value present when word saves the document it will randomly assign it's own 8-digit hexadecimal value anyway. (The value is not limited to 8 digits or hexadecimal characters. Word will not modify existing RSIDs.)
That being said -- make sure to keep RSID values unique and do NOT modify existing RSID attributes -- they are the unique ID for that paragraph, and if the document splits into multiple versions and a user tries to merge them back together those RSIDs are used to determine what paragraphs have changed.
(Also note that runs have RSIDs as well.)
If the user modifies the paragraph, the RSID of that paragraph may change.
The alternate option is to use Custom XML: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb608618.aspx
Use stylename in paragraph properties.
or try this one

Hope this helps.
