Merge Word Documents (Office Interop & .NET) - Keep Formatting
Mar 25, 2010
I'm having some difficulty merging multiple word documents together using Microsoft Office Interop Assemblies (Office 2007) and ASP.NET 3.5. I'm able to merge the documents, but some of my formatting is missing (namely the fonts and images). My current merge code is shown below.
I'm hoping this is an easy one...I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word to convert uploaded word documents into previewable html files. I haven't implemented it fully, but I've played around with it enough that I think I have a plan that will work... My question revolves around
[Code]....
I'm not in love with the idea of opening word and closing it everytime there's an upload (which I hope is a lot of the time) I'd like to make this a shared object that loads at application start. I have 2 questions that go along with this. 1. I imagine that winword could lock up and that would be a problem, right? 2. to save a document I use wordapp.ActiveDocument, this could have an issue as a shared object, right? I think I'm talking myself right out of this...
I have been using using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in my webserver (yes, i know it is not recommended). When I ran it on my machine, it runs fine, but when running on the server I get a timeout on the following line:Documents.Open //when trying to open the file.Is there something I'm missing? Is there a better way to edit a Word document within web servers/websites? (I can't create a new one using string builder or outputting into file; I need to edit an existing one that sits on the server.)
while I still had Office 2007 still on my development PC. I recently upgraded to Office 2010 and even though the web.config file still remains with the above assembly reference, when I publish it and run it now i keep getting the following error ...
Quote:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I also have installed the PIA for Version=14.0.0.0 on the server but I still get the same result.
I am trying to work with the Windows clipboard and Office Interop in an ASP.NET web application.Everything works well on my local machine running XP (i have created a Windows application first which ran perfectly well on local machine). Then I have executed it on a server running Windows Server 2003 and it worked there as well.Then I made a ASP.NET sample project and it worked on my local machine. However when this time I deployed it at the server, after banging my head with permissions, it started giving me this exception which i have no idea why it is doing this:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80048240): Shapes (unknown member): Invalid request. Clipboard is empty or contains data which may not be pasted here. at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shapes.Paste()
Is the problem with any sort of permissions again on clipboard? If yes, how can I grant appropriate permissions?
In my asp.net page, I am creating excel file using Office.Interop and saving. The application works correctly in my local. When I am deploying in Win 2003 server I am getting below Error. I don't have excel installed in server.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005
I am creating a pivot table excel sheet in my ASP .NET web application using Microsoft Office Interop Excel 12.0 components. It is creating the excel file correctly, when i run it from my Visual Studio 2008 in Debug/Release mode.
But when i deploy the solution in IIS 7, first i got some permission issues, which i resolved by giving permission in the DCOMCNFG file. Now i am getting the following error, when trying to open the Excel file:
[code]....
These are the code which i used to open and close the excel application object
I wrote some code about sending mail, Task, Appoinment etc. For example you can add someone to your outlook contact list over asp.net page. Every thing is ok on my local machine. But if I publish my application to a server I can not add noone on my outlook.
I wanto to create matrix report dynamically using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll so that i can create pivot table and Report from this, how i can create these kind of repots where in user will drag and drop the details and it will create reports.
I am developing a document reference system which has a treeview control on the left with the document titles. Once a node is clicked the corresponding document loads in an iframe to the right of the tree. Everything works perfect if the document is in pdf format but word and other office documents don't display the way the client would want. They would like the document to resize the way that the pdf's do inside the iframe.
I have a VB.net page that displays lots of data and gridviews. In one of the gridviews, are links to .pdfs that are associated with the data being displayed. As a "close-out" process when the user is done with the page, I need to figure out a way to take those .pdfs that are showing, and merge them into one .pdf. Is this possible in .NET?
I want to append the document to another document which is in server based on the ID and name how am I append the document to that particular document....
I have a wcf web service that uses the Word interop to produce documents. All works fine when I run it in visual studio, but when I host the web service in IIS (as it will eventually be on a server) and call it there it will fire up WINWORD.exe but then hangs on a call to the "_WordApp.Documents.Add" method and then times out. I realise that the difference between me running in VS and IIS is that in IIS it will now be running as ASPNET user and I have taken the following steps to try and fix this problem.
I used DCOMCNFG to allow permission for ASPNET on "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" (which I thought was strange as I have Office 2007 installed) and this got me past an earlier error that was stopping me instantiating Word, but then I got stuck where I am now.I then tried using impersonation in the web config to get Word to run as my user (as it does when using VS) but it still runs as ASPNET I've heard that this is because the first time a user fires up Word it pops up a modal form asking you to confirm your name and initials, and because ASPNET hasn't run Word before then I somehow need to get past this form. How can I login as ASPNET to do this? Does this sound right? If I can't do this, how I can get Word to run as a different user?
I'm looking for a way to export a Word document as a PDF. I would like to do this without the use of a "software printer" (such as CutePDF, etc.) and stick to reference assemblies if at all possible. I'm using Microsoft Office Interop Assemblies to generate a Word Document which I save to a temporary directory. So its not necessary for this solution to interact directly with Microsoft Office, unless it needs to.
I have a need for users to be able to edit word documents from my web page.
Are there any editors, or components, that will allow me to do this?
A bit of background, the user will be able to upload a word document to my site and then view/edit it from there. There will be no requirement for the user to download the document again but ideally I'd like to keep the document as a word doc at my end.
i have an aspx page with one button on it the name of the page is Default.aspx
i have a physical microsoft office word file in the c drive
what i want to do is that when i press a button i open a microsoft office word located on the c drive then i add some text to it using c# code
then i want to open the file (that i edited and located in memory) in mircosoft office word to see the text that i have added
everything works fine but when i press the button i get a prompt that says do you want to open the file or save it .
questions:
so how can i directly open the file (located in memory) in microsoft office word without this prompt
also if i choose open from the prompt the file opens in the read only mode and the title of the file in the microsoft word become the name of the aspx page which is Default.aspx
