How To Create Non Copyable Pdf From Word
Austin Vermont
I would like to create a template named, say, Copy, that has the word COPY permanently on it and which I can later open at File>New>Templates>Copy and write onto it (or paste onto it) the text of a letter sent to someone else
Branch B, is intended to allow the loading of an existing document created inBranch A (as above). The data from this existing document should now becopied over to the Userform embedded in the new document created when double-clicking the template, to allow updating of various fields, whilst avoidingthe necessity of re-input of unchanged details (to be subsequently saved as '.docx').
Thankyou in advance for any help and your patience. If I could be so bold, ifpossible when answering, it would be extremely helpful to me (and maybe subsequent others) if you could explain how the code referencing works.
It turns out that changing the file type to a Macro-enabled document (edited the file extension) was the key. If you have read above, after creating a document using the userform interface, I had copied and saved the data to a '.docx' (which strips away the VBA code... I don't want this included).
However, it would seem that this file extension also stops VBA code associated with the original userform (Edit Existing function I had written) from doing any operations in the "filled" document as well.
Every Word document has a ThisDocument object.If you write VBA code which uses ThisDocument, that object always points to the ThisDocument object in the same file as your code. ActiveDocument, on the other hand, always points to the document that is active in Word, that is, the one that is visible in the Word window at the moment. If possible, try to avoid using ActiveDocument since it can point to a different document than what you think.
Note: Application.Documents() is used to access documents that are already opened. If the document is closed you need to open it using Application.Documents.Open() or create a new one using Application.Documents.Add(), both returning Document objects.
Anyone having issues with a GPT conversation that has problems creating word documents? E.g. Working with some structured sample data in a CSV file (500 rows) asking for some basic analysis then requesting the analysis is saved to a Word file for future reference in my project.
This has worked in the past e.g. via GPT4 and a GPT.
Thanks

I figured that if I configure the GPT instructions to be great at producing word docs, & saving sql scripts to .sql files that might work.
I was guessing but thankfully it did.
I think (I am a complete newbie in discovering GPT power) that a lot of what we can expect from a GPT will be based on how we customise it.
So far so good.
I uploaded a lesson plan Word template as a sample for ChatGPT4 to reference. It has a table with 5 named columns e.g. learning activities, duration etc. Then give instructions on generating a downloadable Word document using the same table format as the template for a new lesson plan for a specified topic. The outcomes are erratic and gets weirder each time I refine my prompts:
I would like to create a copy of word or excel file using poi.I know that poi is also used when reading a word or excel file. Reading means not only values but also attribute such as font size or table color and backgroud colors for each cells. Reading values and attribute of the xlsx or docx document, I want to make a copy of the word or Excel document as it is. Is it possible that the related source is open at open source on the any site?
use POI's HWPF support. this is often enclosed in docx4j as a dependency. however its not an excellent approach, since it does not convert the doc to docx4j's internal representation:- you are kind of stuck in HWPF landuse JODConverter to convert the doc to a docx, and if necessary, back again. this is often the simplest .
I need to create a duplicate of an existing word file and then work on the duplicate. This should be done always as the original template needs to be un populated for a fresh wordfile to be created with different data. Any idea on this?
Yes I can create a duplicate copy but the issues is I want the bot to work on the copied duplicate copy and leave the template from where it was copied alone, so that the same empty template is available for future use.
@shreyaank u can filename like originalfilename-copy. since original file is stored in variable u can same thing in while naming duplicate name. Everytime ur loop runs duplicate file is created as based on ur filename.
Those who need to constantly create and update project visuals for presentations to clients or executives may find it easier to build their timelines using PowerPoint. On this page, we will show you how to make a timeline both manually in Word and automatically in PowerPoint.
Note: Since Word is not able to automatically calculate time intervals between milestone dates, your milestones will be placed at equal distances on the timeline regardless of the number of days between them. You have the option of manually dragging them closer or farther from one another, but the graphic will get distorted as you add more items. This is why we recommend leaving them as they are.
To insert extra events or deliverables on your timeline, simply press Enter after an existing milestone label inside the Text Pane. The more events you add, the more the text size will shrink. This is why a maximum of 7 milestones is recommended to make sure that your data remains legible.
Note: Manually increasing the text size for improved readability may ruin the entire layout of your timeline. A better alternative would be for you to expand the graphic box, which will automatically make the texts larger too.
Now that your basic timeline is outlined, you can customize its overall look by changing its primary color theme from the Change Colors dropdown menu or by selecting a different style from the SmartArt Styles section. In our example, we applied the Intense Effect style, which made the milestone shapes more prominent.
To customize individual items on the timeline, use the formatting options available in the small window that appears once you right-click on the specific element you want to personalize. For example, you can change the color of a milestone or of the arrow-shaped band using Shape Fill, and that of the text using Font Color.
Next, you can use Drag & Drop to decrease the width of the arrow shape and move the circles a little higher or lower on the timeline to position them closer to their corresponding descriptions. This should make it easier for your audience to follow the succession of milestones.
Finally, to make certain milestones stand out even more, you can also resize them or change their shape using the options in the Format tab. Select more items at once by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while you click on the needed items.
PowerPoint is better suited than MS Word for building visuals to present in client meetings or executive reviews. Below, we will demonstrate how to automatically create and update your graphic using a simple add-in for PowerPoint called Office Timeline. To get started, you first need to install Office Timeline, which will add a timeline maker tab to the PowerPoint ribbon.
Double-click on the template or style you prefer and then select Use Template in the preview window to open the Data Entry Wizard. For our example, we chose a custom template made earlier, which you can download here.
What you could do instead is use PowerPoint timeline templates as they look more professional and can also be easily integrated within your Word document. You can find plenty of ready-made timeline templates to choose from by browsing our collection of free templates or create your very own in minutes using our specialized, automated tool called Office Timeline PowerPoint add-in, which helps you save considerable time. Here is an example of how a timeline generated with our PowerPoint tool could look like:
As an alternative to these basic-looking visuals, with rather limited functionalities, you can use any of the templates in our timeline templates library to create more refined timelines that can be easily customized, saved as images, and included in your Word documents. Or you can download the free trial of the Office Timeline add-in for PowerPoint, and create beautiful timelines with just a few clicks, using one of the templates that the add-in offers. Here is a preview of just a few of them:
To create a blank timeline in Word, you just need to insert one of the graphics that can be found in the SmartArt > Process section of the Insert tab. Microsoft Word offers several options to build timelines that look similar to the ones below:
A more effective way to include stylish blank timelines in your Word presentation is to build them in PowerPoint, and then insert them as images. To this end, we suggest using an automated timeline maker like the Office Timeline PowerPoint add-in. It is an easy-to-use tool that helps you quickly produce visuals that look like this:
Word does not have any built-in timeline templates, but you can create your own basic timeline to include in your Word presentation by going to the Insert tab and selecting SmartArt. Then, in the Choose a SmartArt Graphic gallery, click Process and select one of the two classic timeline formats there - Basic Timeline or Circle Accent Timeline.
Yes, you can make a basic timeline in Word by using the SmartArt feature found under the Insert tab. Then, in the Process category, you have a few options you can choose from. All you need to do next is customize shapes, colors, and fonts to make the visual look more like a timeline. Here are the steps to follow:
- Go to Insert and select SmartArt.
