Hi,

I like to bind a text field with pictures and complete layout (word document) to a outcome in a text box.

So if in the text box is the number 7, it calls the corresponding textfile with text for number 7.

The same for example if the outcome in the textbox is 5, the file that correspondent with 5 had to be call.

In seccond place, the different outcomes/files, need combined to a report.

I need to program this in Visual Studio 2013 C#.

Inspired greetins,

Wilco

What I have tried:

I have tried this to work out with bookmarks in word and the use of C#.
I have posted this on the form, but no reaction at all when I asked for a working solution.

Sounds like you need to use a DropDownList to Select the ID's of the available Word documents. You could possibly use a Dictionary linking ID's with Word Doc filepaths, and then bind the DropDownList to that.

Please clarify your question: are you controlling Word from C# ? Is this a WinForm project ? or ?

Hi,

I need the sollution for a program that a student has start for me a year ago, to automate my numerology reports. The part of the calculations are ready, I have the textfiles in word, and the attachement is the way it has to be when the program works. The outcome of the calculations correspondent with a word file, for example the outcome of a Life Path caluculation with a 1 as outcome, should call the "Life Path 1 document. Save this as a result. When all calculations are done, I shoose the kind of report, with the calculations needed for that report. Then the program combine all the documents until the result is what is in the attachement.

So if I know how to do this without a database, that will be great.

I need this program work, because I start a fund raising for a girlfriend with breastcancer and mastases to the lungs, lymfe and bones.

I will do a big mailing for the numerology reports, but at the moment it takes minimal 3 hours a report to combine it, so I can't deliver, and get money for her cure now. Also for a fund raising by GoFundMe I need the program, so I can give a little report for every donation, or give people the oppurturnity to order a report to help her.

So if you know someone who can program the last part will be fine, because I that student that is working for more than a year on it, while it is not so complicated, but he needs his time to study, party, and social events, I decided to quite whit him, and finisch the program myself, with help from forums, but by knowledge is very basic because I don't have the time because of the illness of that girlfriend to dive deep in this program language.

Inspired greetings, Wilco

As you can read in my question with word and bookmarks, that replace text, but I had only the example in Visual basic and not in C#, and don't know how to convert this into C# and let it work, and of this is the best and simple method for what I want.

Thank you for your suggestion. Because I'm very new with programming, it's for me more useful to get an simple example sollution that works. for example in visual studio a windows form with an input, for example 6. that a word document that is saved as 6. the same for a 4. than a button that load both documents, and saven them in the order, 4, 5 in a new document. With this example I think I can work it out in my program. I know you normaly don't do this, but I don't have the time to read me in in every aspect of programming because of that very ill girlfriend as mentioned in the question. I respect you're opinion that people had to do some work themselve. believe me, i did in many ways. You understan if you see the whole program. but for now, I will very grateful if someone help me with this, of maybe would finisch te programm. Inspired greetings, Wilco

Hi Rick, This could work if I could open the link with source code, but it isn't working. You give me a clue how to specify my question. In word you have the posibility with "Insert, Insert Object, Text from file" to do what I needed. Only I like to do this automated, so if the outcome for example Life Path is 1, it find the "Text from file 1" and insert this in a template file, for example Curiosity Report Template. The program has to find all the outcomes and the coresponding files, and merge them in the template. I hope you can help me with a working sollution or example source code for C#. Inspired greetigs, Wilco

I found some code to merge Word documents, it uses the Microsoft.Office.Core library:
