[Solved] Inserting header

[sid_openoffice_1]

Hi,

I want to insert a header using data from a .ott(open document Text Template) file.
I am not getting a way to do this.
My .ott file contains tables too.
So please guide me the way of doing this.

I fear we need some additional information!

What kind of data do you want to get? A template is used to create a document already pre-formatted so once the template is ready, the documents based on it should be fine from their creation.

If your template contains tables, then your documents get them too.

Can you upload it and tell us what's wrong (see: How to attach a document here)?

Actually i want to load that document in the header.
And I am not geting the way to do this.

You're going to have to give us more to work with!

Please tell us in more detail what you want to achieve, and what you have tried.

That does not clarify anything. To provide any help, we need the following:
The document(s) you are working with (remove any sensitive data first). See link above for help with attaching files.
Tell us what you want to achieve.
Preferably, tell us what you have done (if you have gotten anywhere at all with this), and what result you got.

In my opinion that .ott file not contain any header. It might be called "Cover Page"

Why not you copy-paste your document into .ott file? Just type Ctrl-Enter in .ott file, and at beginning of second page paste the all text from .odt file, and on .ott file: save as...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply bt i have to do that programmatically and in this i have to insert that .ott file into the header.

Regards.

So long as your TimeOffRequest form is visible, does it matter if it is in the header, or on the first page?

Hi, sid_openoffice_1

An appropriate solution would be for you the following proposal?

Idea:
Automated autotext function

description:
First, highlight the text in the template file.
Pick up one into the "Autotext" function (Edit ->Autotext -> ...)
(I picked up named as "TORForm" with short name "T" in my OpenOffice.

The recorded macro will insert the into the (new) first page of the document.
On first page the macro will insert the autotext item named "T".

(The recorded macro stored in the BASIC repository of this document. You need to store into OpenOffice BASIC repository. Associate the macro to a new menu or the toolbar is a new element, then it will be always available.

(You can develop the macro. For example, to set the new first page to "First Page" pagestyle)

Code: Select all

REM  *****  BASIC  *****
Option Explicit

sub InsertFirstPage
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
dim document   as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem get access to the document
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToStartOfDoc", "", 0, Array())

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:InsertPagebreak", "", 0, Array())

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToStartOfDoc", "", 0, Array())

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args6(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args6(0).Name = "Group"
args6(0).Value = "mytexts*1"

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SetActGlossaryGroup", "", 0, args6())

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args7(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args7(0).Name = "Group"
args7(0).Value = "mytexts*1"
args7(1).Name = "ShortName"
args7(1).Value = "T"

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:InsertGlossary", "", 0, args7())

end sub
