just i want include chart from excel to mail merge(ms word).i can include any fields from excel but i cant add chart to the mail merge.How that can be done Is any other possible ways.
Embed or link the Excel chart in the Word merge document as you would in a normal Word file, e.g. copy the Excel chart, and paste it into Word as an object, image or link. The place your mail merge fields as desired and complete the merge.
I am currently using Apache FOP and have a stylesheet (possibly from RenderX) that converts Word 2003 XML documents (Saved as XML option) to PDF. However, this does not work for Word 2007 XML documents.
I am looking for options and/or suggestions on how to accomplish one of the following tasks -
Get a stylesheet that will transform Word 2007 XML file to:
Word 2003 XML or
PDF using FOP (using a stylesheet to create xsl-fo)
I am also open to any other options you might have. If possible I would like to do this with little to no cost. However, I am limited to using Java so a C# type option is not possible.
Thanks,
You could try docx4j, an open source Java library (ASL v2) which uses FOP to create PDFs from docx files.
I'm not aware of any style sheets that do this transformation. It would be reasonably sophisticated. If you end up having to engineer another way of doing it, you might want to look at JODConverter (straight conversion - might be your best bet), the OpenOffice UNO API (very manual), JODReports or Docmosis (both can produce documents in various formats). All can produce PDFs from a Java environment. I think they all have free versions.
Hope that helps.
I am using Perl for automation for report generation. Reports are generated in HTML. same report can be opened in MS word format. tables generated in HTML look good in Word too.
Problem:
Ineed to also insert few graphs in the report. For HTML, I am using SVG::TT::Graph::Line Perl module to generate the graphs.
The idea here is to keep single HTML file that contains all tables and graphs.
Currently every thing looks good in HTML. but when i open the same file in Word, the graphs are replaced by data (because I am using SVG Perl module).
Just wondering what would be the best way to generate graphs for Word file that doesn't change my code much.
Any suggestions with the Perl modules to be used would be much appreciated.
I haven't tried this, but the only thing I can think of is to use ImageMagick to convert the SVG to PNG and then use a Data URI to embed the image in the HTML.
How would I write Word 2007 XML (WordProcessingML) on my own? I have a requirement to do so, where I need to write a Word 2007 XML format for a Word template. The important thing is I should convert a Word template doc to XML (by zipping it, etc), where I need to write Word 2007 XML with those respective tags. How can I do this?
docx4j
I'm not sure what you mean by "on your own," but there is an existing API for this:
Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents
If it doesn't do what you need it to, just extend it.
Go to OpenXMLDeveloper - you can get most of the information there on WordprocessingML and links out to other places.
Sphinx supports a few output formats:
Multiple HTML files (with html or dirhtml)
Latex which is useful for creating .pdf or .ps
text
How can I obtain output in a Microsoft Word file instead?
With another doc generator I managed to generate a single html output file and then convert it to Microsoft Word format using the Word application.
Unfortunately I don't know a way to generate either Word or the HTML single-page format.
The solution I use is singlehtml builder like andho mentioned in the comment, then convert the html to docx using pandoc.
The following sample assumes the generated html would be located at _build/singlehtml/index.html
make singlehtml
cd _build/singlehtml/
pandoc -o index.docx index.html
There is a Sphinx extension for generating docx format (which I haven't tested) and a newer one (which I also haven't tested, but looks like it is more actively maintained)
To convert files in restructured text to MSdoc, I use rst2odt and next unoconv. Look next script:
#!/bin/sh
rst2odt $1 $1.odt
unoconv -f doc $1.odt
rm $1.odt
With rst2odt you can use your own stylesheet: unoconv comes with OpenOffice and also allows to apply an Open Office style (template) during the conversion. Simply edit a converted document, change styles, add headers and footers, save that as an ODF Text Document Template (OTT) and use this as part of the conversion, like:
unoconv -f doc -t template.ott $1.odt
to use that template for various conversions later on.
I realize this is an old question, but I found that LibreOffice supports the following way of doing conversion (assuming soffice.exe is in your path):
soffice.exe --invisible --convert-to doc myInputFile.odt
Some things I have read say to use the --headless option rather than --invisible. Both seem to work on Windows.
You can start with the rst2odt.py script and then do the above to convert to an MS Word document.
Here is a link with additional start up options for LibreOffice:
http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters
Here is a link with file types supported by OpenOffice which, I believe, LibreOffice should also support:

This answer is not a command line solution and it is not obviously the best, but it simply works for me and save my time. After generating html file 1, you can open the generated html with a browser and copy the entire page (Crtl + a and Ctrl+ c) and then run Microsoft Office(or use live version if you don't have Microsoft Windows, like me) and paste (Ctrl+v) to it.
The best option might be rst -> odt -> doc
Convert the sphinx documents into openoffice format.
Then convert open the odt with openoffice and saved to Word. But I don't know how to do this automatically.
This is a workaround using Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com), which includes a powerful converter. This worked well and most of the formatting are preserved:
Generate epub output in Sphinx make epub
Import epub output into Calibre and then convert epub to docx using inbuilt ebook converter.
Answer is too late for the original question, but people looking at the same problem may find this useful.
I don't now what Sphinx is, but you could create a rtf file or html file or something similar.

and from there : How to use ASP to generate a Rich Text Format (RTF) document to stream to Microsoft Word
This article describes how you can generate Rich Text Format (RTF) files with ASP script and then stream those files to Microsoft Word. This technique provides an alternative to server-side Automation of Microsoft Word for run-time document generation.
You don't use ASP script (who does :-) ), but for the idea.
