Hi

I'm trying out docx4j, my main usage is to replace content from a file/database.

I've tried the simple unmarshal example using ${paramater} and it works great with your sample files in svn, but when creating documents using Word 2010 (on OSX) all replacements ends up with the text "null" instead of the right values...

I've also looked into using data controls and looking at your samples in CustomXmlBinding... it seems that you have to ...

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 ...

Using docx4j 2.6.0 namespaces on our attributes were being thrown away for custom xml parts by the FlatOpcXmlImporter. It uses XmlUtils to copy the custom xml data element into a new org.w3c.dom.Document. I'm not sure what this class is intended to do, but the DOM API directly supports this functionality and doesn't ditch the namespaces. I recommend the following patch. It fixes our problem.

Hi,

I'm attempting to use the data binding example 'CustomXmlBinding.java'. I can make it work using a docx source but I can't find the example MedicalChartSample.xml on the server and every attempt I have at creating my own from scratch throws an UnmarshalException - unexpected element...

Is there an example I can use to get started ?

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 ...
