MS Word - integrate pictures in it

weblike

Hi,

I have a special request from a customer of mine to integrate some photos in a WROD report.

I haven't done this before and tried with :
<<LISTA_TABLE_START('Query'>><<PicturesBO.PictureAttribute>><<LIST_TABLE_END()>>

PicturesBO is a reffrence for MAsterBO.

In my generated Word report I don't see the images.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thx.

George,

Is that an exact cut and paste of you LIST_TABLE_START ?

If so.... it looks to me as if it is structured incorrectly.
If not, can you please paste your EXACT code here.

I have not checked for the Picture working but would expect it to work.

Mark , thx for reply

There is a typo in my above code indeed

The code is inserted in a table on same row and looks like this:

First cell of the table:
<<LISTA_TABLE_START('Query')>><<PicturesBO.PictureAttribute>>
Second cell of the table:
<<LIST_TABLE_END()>>

In generated Word report I get these errors, instead my beautiful pictures:
[Lorg.openadaptor.dataobjects.SimpleDataObject;@7bc7d310
[Lorg.openadaptor.dataobjects.SimpleDataObject;@16c6d95d
[Lorg.openadaptor.dataobjects.SimpleDataObject;@70fe2431

According UserGuide.pdf page 417 about the function, I think your type is wrong, should LIST_TABLE_START not LISTA_TABLE_START

Uhm....
Because I'm still learning so I try this thread but I got same error like you. I already try on AwareIM v6 and v7 too but stuck like you too.

This is my Word template

And this is my result after export into Word Document.

I would start with something simpler. If you are trying to verify that pics will show up in a Word doc, forget about using LIST and just produce one doc with one instance of a BO that shows one pic.

If you get that to work, focus on LIST process.

I don't believe you will get this right in Word or Excel. I checked this out a long while back and support confirmed that it is not possible to embed images in a MS document

If you are unable to use the Report writer for this purpose then the workaround here is to insert an image in the document using a macro formula.

I do this in MS Excel where I embed the macro formula reference in the object and also export the image before creating the document at time of creation. So when the document is generated the macro reference embedded in the document inserts the image sourced from the exported image. I am not sure if MS Word will work with macro's in the same way as Excel does, but I use Excel graphing functions and formula's to generate some unique reports that i could not do in the report writer and using Excel with macros allowed me to do this

This would be a welcome feature I think if at all possible. If anyone figures it out, please share the solution and same with macros. Thanks

Well you can add one image with a workaround:

add an image to the word file and set the image file to some temp image
then you export the image you want to be in the word document to overwrite the temp image
now when you display the document it will use the exported image.
delete the exported image after that. (so it will not be shown on the next display document command.
hope this help.

Going from memory, I think I played around with this and determined that you just can't do it.
