Notes or MS WORD?

Hi all,

In order to import from MS WORD into a rich text field in notes, i had tried 2 different approaches which i obtained from this forum - notesuidocument.import and the other one is to copy and paste. But then both gave me a weird problem.

notesuidocument.import → the table in some of the pages are gone while some are still intact. Personally i prefer this method as it kept most of the text alignment just that i am quite irritated by the missing tables.

Copy and paste → the tables in ALL pages are exactly duplicated to the notes but the alignment are extremely off.

Besides, while importing over, i notice that the pages are not synchronized. Meaning to say, after i import to the rich text field and intend to print the document, the pages are entirely different from the MS WORD.

For example:

MS WORD - page 1

Notes - page 1

MS WORD - page 2

Notes - page 2 and some of page 3

So is it the problem with my MS WORD document or should i adjust anything in NOTES? i tried all ways by using placing the field into a table of 1 row by 1 column or by changing the font for the field to size 8 but all return me the same result.

I hope it is not a silly question to ask. But seriously, i had been stuck at this problem for about 2 days and hope someone can give a gd suggestion.

Many thanx in advance.

Best Regards,

hengshi

You are unlikely to be able to get the pages to appear the same, as the Notes environment is not inherently “paged”, but more of a flow. Some of your other problems are probably fixable, such as the table structure getting lost, which is likely because of a computed rich text field.
