News of docx4j

Dear All,
My First question, which is the best API to read/write MS Word files using JAVA.

Are there API's/frameworks to read .DOT files using JAVA.

I have a requirement like this, is this achievable using JAVA.
Can we read a .DOT (a word template file) and convert it to a .DOC (ms word document file) programmatically by filling some values at given places.

Ex: My MS Word template file (.DOT) would have "Attribute Display ...

Hi Jason!

Your new OpenDoPe plugin and what it does fits our needs very nicely, thanks. When I use sdt's with repeats and conditionals and save the result to pdf I get a lot of errors like this "10.12.2010 11:39:46 *ERROR* FOUserAgent: Invalid property value encountered in border-top-width="0,18mm": org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined 0,18mm; property:'border-top-width' (No context info available) (LoggingEventListener.java, line 82)".
Pay attention to "0,18mm" which is the Norwegian way of using decimals. In english ...

Helo Jason.

I have a problem with the headers in my document.
If someone creates a document and adds a headers ( of first page its empty ).
The pages are spread into sections.
On the second page the person adds a header and clicks the "Different first page" inside the Word.
On the next page he doesn't click it, and so on...

The template i created is in the attachment.

So the problem occurs ...

Hi All,

we docx4j to replace find certain keyword in word document and replace it with other values.
however we find that when the values we replace contain new line or carriage return character
(ascii 10 and ascii 13). when we set with new value, it will automatically replace with white space (ascii 32).

e.g

newValue = 10/10/2010
11/10/2010

but in the word document after replace it will become "10/10/2010 11/10/2010"

we have debug, the ...

I've spent the past half an hour on a fruitless search for the docx specification/schema.

Does anyone have a link handy?

Specifically I want to see details about the w:tblStyle and w:tblW elements.

Thanks

For docx4j users who wants to analyze and edit the XML parts of a docx/pptx/xlsx, the attached swing
program DocWin.java will be helpful. (I got sick of the tedium of manually unzipping, opening different
parts in a editor, zipping it back up if needed, etc.) DocWin shows the package's parts on the left, in
a tree reflecting the relationship hierarchy, and on the right shows the contents of the part selected on
the left. XML ...

Hi Jason,

We are bulding a form with a rich text control. The control is not bind to a customXml file as we want styling, bullet and so in the text. The content of the control will be transformed to html and stored in SQL database. The content will finaly display in a web page where it could also be download as a docx.

I can extract the content as xml using below code.

But ...

Hello all,

My company and I continue to make progress manipulating MS Office documents
with docx4j. Having the full-fidelity JAXB tree of every part of every
document type is indispensible. POI is simply unsatisfactory for the xml
formats, as unsatisfactory as the Hawaiian foodstuff.

I have a few patches that I've accumulated. They're separated out here into 4
pieces, so they can be analyzed/accepted/rejected separately. They will all
apply cleanly on trunk as of today's ...

Hi,

I am getting desperate now, cause my table won't render the way I want it to. i was looking at this previous post (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=212&p=529&hilit=gridspan&sid=1e302d3cbcd018686d53fbb5af528e81#p529) but it didn't help me too much, since I think that my table itself is build wrong. So any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to describe how I did it as detailed as possible:

1. I am creating a table. I ...

It appears docx4j.2.5.0 is compatible with Grails (v1.3.5) but docx4j.2.6.0 is not. marshaling to a string fails when I change the Grails conf/BuildConfig to use 2.6.0. JAXB makes me dizzy with all its "features" so I was hoping someone can assist. I switched to jdk 1.6 to simplify JAXB situation but still can't get around this error.

Document wmlDocumentEl = (org.docx4j.wml.Document) documentPart.getJaxbElement();
String xml = XmlUtils.marshaltoString(wmlDocumentEl, true);
