BIP_WordTableDef.doc

[Former Member]

Hi. I´m trying to use the BIP_WordTableDef.doc but it does not apply the styles. For example, the BIP_WordTableDef.doc is:

Default    1000

Total       1000

Default has style normal. And total has style Title1.

When I create the table in epm add-in it does not apply the styles. For example:

Budget    1000

Total        1000

Total has style Title1 but is not show.

When I create the datalink the option "UseStyles" is disabled. I don´t know where can it  be enabled.

When I check the Object the option Use Styles is enabled. 

I also can´t apply the BIP_WordTableDef from the server ( I upload this file to the server). It only works when I save it locally and specifying where the file is located... Can anyone help me please??

Hi Maria,

From the description and screenshots you've given it appears that you've got some steps wrong.

I am assuming you are trying to apply a BIP_WordTableDef template to a table you have datalinked from word.

In order to appply the styles in the template, you need to select Word Template (below "useStyles") and then click on Format, this opens up the format template window where you are able to select template from your previously configured BIP_WordTableDef.doc template

You also mentioned that you are unable to use the BIP_WordTableDef on the server, it means you are not connected to the server. When you connect to the datasource from a document, there are two connections; one local and the other server, make sure you are also connected to the server.

There is a SAP KBA (1987237) which gives an explanation on why BIP_WordTableDef styles are sometimes not applied.

Hi Folu.

Thanks for your answer. But the problem continues.

I´m going to be more detail, maybe I´m making something wrong.

I create the BIP_WordTableDef.doc with styles as follows:

For the BIP_WordTableTagging.xml what I did was save the BIP_WordTableDef.doc as .xml and change the name for BIP_WordTableTagging.xml.

On the web I upload these files (BIP_WordTableDef.doc and BIP_WordTableTagging.xml) on the Content Refresh .

When the user in Word create a table the template is not shown...

It only shows the template when the BIP_WordTableDef.doc is locally saved on the client machine.

The format of the table is good (borders, shadow) but the font is not the right one (note 1900322). I don´t know if this is happening because the option "Show styles" is disabled

When another user refresh the word document there´s an error of format (because it can´t find the template since it´s locally saved on another user machine) . What I want is that any user can use the templates that are saved on the server with the BIP_WordTableDef.doc.

Hi Maria,

Your users need to connect to the server to be able to use the BIP_WordTableDef.doc on the server

When they open up a document and select the DM ribbon, they need to select datasources and connect to the Disclosure Management Server.
