I need to break open a MS Word file (.doc) and extract its constituent files ('[1]CompObj', 'WordDocument' etc). Something like 7-zip can be used to do this manually but I need to do this programatically. I've gathered that a Word document is an OLE container (hence why 7-zip can be used to view its contents) but I can't work out how to (using C++): open the OLE container extract each constituent file and save it to disk I've found a couple of examples of OLE automation (eg here ) but what I want to do seems to be less common and I've found no specific examples. If anyone has any idea of

I have an Excel file and I want update multiple rows in a sheet.So I write this code : OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection("Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = " + serverPath + ";Extended Properties = Excel 8.0;"); try { strUpd = ""; strUpd += "update [Data14City$] set B_1_1 = 5 ,B_1_2 = 26 ,B_1_3 = 44 ,B_1_4 = 8 where id = 1 "; strUpd += " update [Data14City$] set B_1_1 = 0 ,B_1_2 = 8 ,B_1_3 = 17 ,B_1_4 = 0 where id = 2"; cn.Open(); OleDbCommand cmdInsert = new OleDbCommand(strUpd, cn); cmdInsert.ExecuteNonQuery(); cn.Close(); } catch { } and I got this error: Syntax error

I want to add and extract files from an Office/Excel document using Python. So far adding things is easy but for extracting I haven't found a clean solution. To make clear what I've got and what not I've written the small example test.py below and explain further. test.py import win32com.client as win32 import os from tkinter import messagebox import win32clipboard # (0) Setup dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) print(dir_path) excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application') wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(dir_path + "\\" + "test_excel.xlsx") ws = wb.Worksheets.Item(1)

It seems that in the Microsoft Word object model, a Word document is bound to a Window, but I want to close the existing document and open a new one without closing the Word window. How can I do this? This works for me to close a document and open a document in the same window (I'm running the macro from normal.dotm ): Sub CloseOpenSameWindow() Dim d As Document: Set d = ActiveDocument Application.ScreenUpdating = False d.Close Application.Documents.Add Template:="C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Mydocument.docx" Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Have you tried File->Close ? That should close the

We have a Excel spreadsheet that currently generates a report using a Word template stored on the company LAN. This works fine for internal users but not for anyone not connected to the LAN e.g. laptop users. Management does not want to distribute the template as a seperate file to external users but would prefer to embed this into the spreadsheet on a hidden worksheet. It is then proposed that when generating a report that the embedded template would then be saved to the users temp path and the report generated from there. My question then, is how can i save the embedded Word template to disk

Related question [stackoverflow] here . I'm trying to do the above, but I want to take the process one step further. I want to open an arbitrary file using the default editor for the file type. From that point, I want to allow my user to interact with the file as they would normally, or continue to work in my application. The extension is what happens after the user finishes editing. Is there a way I can capture a close (and ideally save) event from the external application and use that as a trigger to do something else? For my purposes, tracking the closing of the external application would
