I downloaded the latest version of the source code and have been trying to use the MailMerger class with a docx containing MailMerge fields.

First, it didn´t work, had to fix the line 268/269 from MailMerger.java

from:

Code: Select all

tmp = tmp.trim();
String key  = tmp.substring(0, tmp.indexOf(" ")) ;


to:

Code: Select all

String key  = tmp.trim();


Why the substring from 0 to " " ? The line before it does the trick, with the trim().. ...

Hi,

I'm trying to delete all CTMarkup of a .docx file.
I already managed to rename all CTBookmarks of a docx with a visitor using TraversalUtil, and I was wondering if I could write a visitor that would delete elements (instead of modifying them).
How would you do that?
My first idea was to write this visitor, but I'm a bit stuck on how to do it the clean way :

public final class DeleteCTMarkupsVisitor ...

I am working on manipulating a .docx file and build it into a jasperreport template file.
I need to set the same layout in the jasper file, but a first barrier comes when a paragraph lies more than one text line in word,
I have no idea how to get the information of this, does any one knows about it? I'll be appreciated!

Hi, me again :)
I have a problem when calling getJAXBNodesViaXPath("//w:bookmarkStart") (the problem is still there with any other valid xpath expression) on any header, document or footer part, when the part is containing a floating image ("in front of the text").
It's related to my last issue : http://www.docx4java.org/forums/docx-java-f6/classcastexception-org-docx4j-wml-tblpr-cannot-be-cast-t1051.html.

Hey, we got an inconsistency-problem when adding HTML chunks to an existing wordML Package. Indexes do not match, and we don't exactly know how to solve this. Let me explain this by code. This is basically a substitution-Problem.


List<Object> texts = thisWordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart()
.getJAXBNodesViaXPath(XPATH_TO_SELECT_TEXT_NODES, true);

CTAltChunk chunk = ... //Chunk creation works

//does not work
texts.set(index, chunk);

//does not work either
((JAXBElement) texts.get(index)).setValue(chunks);

// DOES WORK, but the list we receive with the .getContent() method ...

Hi,

I have a problem when I try to load a .docx file with "a lot opf stuff in it" (images in header and footer, etc).
I don't have this problem when I try with a simple document (just text).

Hello. I have a question about page margins. I did google for a while, and searched this forum, but nothing helpful came up. I have went through the "Getting Started" and some of the examples in the docx4j jar (really only one example of creating a table in a docx).

My question is, how can I set page margin to "NARROW" (0.5" margins)? I have tried through the docx4j.properties file. I was able to change ...

I've sean threads on these two subject, but concerning older version of docx4j

I'm having two dependency issues :
- one with log4j and sl4j where I can't find a suitable combination of versions that allow the Logger.setLevel() call that docx makes when initializing it's logger. This is not a blocker as it only fails in tests.
- one with batik with the following stack
