New Post: Runs not merging in Word doc

hiscapness — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:52:28 GMT

Using the following settings in my C# program:

SimplifyMarkupSettings settings = new SimplifyMarkupSettings
                {
                    AcceptRevisions = true,
                    RemoveComments = true,
                    RemoveContentControls = true,
                    RemoveEndAndFootNotes = true,
                    RemoveFieldCodes = true,
                    RemoveLastRenderedPageBreak = true,
                    RemovePermissions = true,
                    RemoveProof = true,
                    RemoveRsidInfo = true,
                    RemoveSmartTags = true,
                    RemoveSoftHyphens = true,
                    ReplaceTabsWithSpaces = true,
                    RemoveBookmarks = true,
                    RemoveGoBackBookmark = true,
                    NormalizeXml = true,
                    RemoveWebHidden = true
                };

But there are still breaks in my text that I'm trying to process with XSLT; looks like runs are not being combined as the tool is supposed to (AFAIK from reading docs). Here's some of the generated XML after running the tool. Note the comments (added by me). The text should be a single run of 'What I have learned' but it's split into 2 runs, the first containing 'What I have l' and the second, 'earned'. Both have the exact same <w:rPr/> preceding them. How can I merge these two?

<w:p w:rsidR="00F10DB1" w:rsidRDefault="00FC4BC1">
                        <w:pPr>

New Post: "The given path's format is not supported" when passing argument to any cmdlet

hiscapness — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:28:07 GMT

built and installed powertools cmdlets - can see them in powershell. However, every time I try to run one (in this case Confirm-OpenXmlValid ./test.docx):

Confirm-OpenXmlValid : The given path's format is not supported.

Is there something I'm missing?

New Post: Lost image after convert docx to html.

akshay904 — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:27:26 GMT

I am also facing same problem. Images are not converted while converting word document to HTML.

I can not use the (.DOC) file for conversion to HTML - Exception - File contains corrupted data.
So, I have to use the (.DOCX) files for conversion to HTML. Is this the limitation?
If file contains some images it is not correctly converted. If I Open the HTML file in browser.I can not see the images

Following code I am using -

New Post: PowerTools 2.2 source code cannot be Referenced in another project

fenilrathod — Mon, 06 May 2013 12:18:47 GMT

Himanshu,

I am not sure but adding references to "DocumentFormat.OpenXml" and "WindowsBase" apart from OpenXmlPowerTools dll in your project can resolve your issue.

New Post: PowerTools 2.2 source code cannot be Referenced in another project

maverickht — Thu, 02 May 2013 12:02:44 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to use the PowerTools 2.2 in my project, I need to use the MarkupSimplifier class as in Eric's blog post - http://ericwhite.com/blog/2011/03/09/getting-started-with-open-xml-powertools-markup-simplifier.

I’m using it with Visual Studio 2010 in the source code. I’ve included the PowerTools 2.2 project that I downloaded from codeplex to my solution and then added the reference to OpenXmlPowerTools in my project so I can use MarkupSimplifier.
When I try to debug the solution initially it loads fine but later gives an exception:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException was caught
Message=Could not load file or assembly ‘OpenXmlPowerTools, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=981466f262afc448′ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I’m really stumped, I’ve tried adding reference to only the OpenXmlPowerTools DLL but that doesn’t seem to work either and gives same message.

Also, I’m using Windows Server 2008 R2, and Sharepoint 2010 with Powershell 2.0

Not sure what might be causing the exceptions?
Please could someone help.

Many thanks
Himanshu

New Post: Multiple OleObjects (Linked Objects) are not getting merged properly using DocumentBuilder

fenilrathod — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:02:00 GMT

Hi Eric,

I've just resolve the issue by making the unique ids for all the shape, shapeTypes and objects associates with each other. And this simple solution have resolve my issue. Below is the code, Let me know if anything is unusual.

 private static void FixUpEmbeddedObjectIds(WordprocessingDocument outputWPDocument)
 {
     foreach (EmbeddedObject obj in outputWPDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Descendants<EmbeddedObject>())
     {
         var shapeType = obj.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.Shapetype>().FirstOrDefault();
         var shape = obj.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.Shape>().FirstOrDefault();
         var oleObject = obj.Descendants<OleObject>().FirstOrDefault();

         if (shapeType != null && shape != null)
         {
             shapeType.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
             shape.Type = shapeType.Id;
         }
         if (shape != null && oleObject != null)
         {
             shape.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
             oleObject.ShapeId = shape.Id;
         }
     }
 }

New Post: Multiple OleObjects (Linked Objects) are not getting merged properly using DocumentBuilder

EricWhiteDpe — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:46:31 GMT

In DocumentBuilder, you will find a class that it uses to prevent duplication of images. The correct approach is to make a variation of that class that prevents duplication of the OleObject. The code will be almost identical. It could be possible to modify the class to prevent image duplication so that it prevents duplication of multiple types of things, i.e. images and OleObjects, but it is a small class and it is probably more effort that it is worth. I would probably just create a new class that is nearly identical to that one.

Cheers, Eric

fenilrathod — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:38:16 GMT

Thanks again for your quick response.

Today, After investigating further I found that during merging, OleObjects getting duplicated with same id with duplicated shape and shapetypes as well. Probably that could be an issue.

I'll look into it further and will try to solve it if possible.

If you can provide any suggestions it will be helpful.

Thanks again for your time.

New Post: Multiple OleObjects (Linked Objects) are not getting merged properly using DocumentBuilder

EricWhiteDpe — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:03:17 GMT

I haven't done the analysis of what would be required to support OleObjects. There probably should be some check to make sure that the same OleObject isn't duplicated in the destination document. Then to test a number of scenarios, making sure all bases are covered.

It will be some time before I can get to this. I am over-booked for the next 2 1/2 months.

I do have PowerTools on my agenda, and that includes some important enhancements to DocumentBuilder.

Cheers, Eric

fenilrathod — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:16:16 GMT

Thanks Eric for the response.

I guess DocumentBuilder supporting OleObjects and I've successfully able to merge OleObjects(Linked Objects, e.g, Excel file) if they are in only one source document.

But as soon as multiple documents have OleObjects, after merging they links of OleObjects are getting broken apart from the first OleObject in the document. If possible I could share demo application for this issue.

Fenil.

Hi Fenil,

That is an issue with DocumentBuilder. Currently it does not support merging documents that reference OleObjects. It is a great idea for a future enhancement.

fenilrathod — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:42:23 GMT

Hi,

I'm getting issues during merging multiple documents having OleObjects (Linked Objects) having external relationships to files using DocumentBuilder.

You can reproduce this issue by having multiple linked objects in it and try to merge them using DocumentBuilder.

As a result you will have a merged document with OleObjects with broken external relationship and you will no longer able to update those objects by clicking them.

I just want to know if this is the issue with DocumentBuilder or I am doing something wrong?

New Post: Change to allow a partial importation of KeepSection

marc_al — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 07:41:59 GMT

Hello,

I have tried to merge some documents but by keeping the informations of the first document. So, when I added a source for the first document I had to add True to KeepSection. For the other documents as I needed to keep the header and footer of the first document I had to put False. The problem was that a custom margin was only allowed for the content of the first document and the other documents had lost the custom margins.
I have made the following change (in case someone is interested :
In the file
DocumentBuilder.cs
Function BuildDocument
In the end of the function there is

else

FixUpSectionProperties(output);

I have put the two lines in comment so the new code is

//else

            //    FixUpSectionProperties(output);

the end of the function looks like that

if (!sources.Any(s => s.KeepSections))

            {
                using (OpenXmlMemoryStreamDocument streamDoc = new OpenXmlMemoryStreamDocument(sources[0].WmlDocument))
                using (WordprocessingDocument doc = streamDoc.GetWordprocessingDocument())
                {
                    var sectPr = doc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument().Root.Element(W.body)
                        .Elements().Last();
                    if (sectPr.Name == W.sectPr)
                    {
                        AddSectionAndDependencies(doc, output, sectPr, images);
                        output.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument().Root.Element(W.body).Add(sectPr);
                    }
                }
            }
            //else
            //    FixUpSectionProperties(output);
        }
        foreach (var part in output.GetAllParts())
            if (part.Annotation<XDocument>() != null)
                part.PutXDocument();
    }

With this change I can keep the header / footer / margins of the first documents without losing parameters from the other ones.

New Post: How to extract content from Table cell using DocumentBuilder?

the_ravent — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:48:44 GMT

Hi,

I can already offer a solution. We can define ISource interface for sources (that encapsulate a content extraction from source document), and implement DocumentBuilder in terms of ISource. Draft version you can find here - https://gist.github.com/3799925 (tiny changes require into MergeOpenXmlDocumentCmdlet.cs)

After that we can define new Source for table cells - something like that https://gist.github.com/3799948

What do you think about such changes?

New Post: How to extract content from Table cell using DocumentBuilder?

Hi,

No, the granularity of a source is at the table level. It is a good idea, though.

Is it possible to describe content of the one table cell as a Source?

Thanks.

New Post: SharedStringTable updates

sarangbk — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 00:55:45 GMT

Was looking through the AddValue method in WorkSheetAccessor class. While adding a value to a cell shouldn't the SharedStringTable be updated, And the reference ShareStringIndex used as a value in the Cell?

Better still shall we have another AddValue() which lets one update SharedStringTable as well, setting the data type as SharedString?

Built it OK, but now I'm wondering if SimplifyMarkup (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2010/02/08/enabling-better-transformations-by-simplifying-open-xml-wordprocessingml-markup.aspx) is available as a cmdlet. I'm particularly interested in scrunching together runs, and Remove-OpenXmlMarkup doesn't seem to do this.
