Problem with append table and Word 2010

[BastiFantasti]

No, the workaround doesn't work for me.

I have a predefined report template and want to add the table at a bookmark.

Replacing the "Word set CB.vi" had no effect, and inserting data in a table field by field is not possible with bookmarks, or?

Now, i have a workaround which works.

I create an empty table at the given bookmark with the correct amount of rows and columns. After that I fill it using the workaround shown in a previous post.

Hello Drew, we ran into the same problem (creating tables with LV2011 for Word 2010). Our customers and ourselves consider this a major problem, simply because it affects a most common form of output using the most recent versions of LabVIEW and Word; having that version of Word already in the market for a while! So I wonder why this is NOT listed under 'known issues' for the LabVIEW 2011 Report Generation Toolkit?? Next, we wonder what to tell our customers -- is this technically an issue with LabVIEW or with Word 2010?? But what we all wonder most is when a decent fix will be officially available for LabVIEW 2011. We'd like that asap. Many thanks and best regards mkr

MKr,

I am sorry that this is still causing you problems.  As mentioned before, it has been reported to R&D as Corrective Action Request (CAR) #257414.  I do not have information on when this will be fixed, but the release notes for new versions of the toolkit will contain the CAR # when it has been resolved.

To the best of my knowledge, this was a change that Microsoft implemented in their Office product, which reduced some of the functionality of LabVIEW's toolkit.  As to why this issue is not listed in the known issues list, I am not sure, but I will look into it.

MKr,

I have spoken with R&D, and this CAR will be added to the Known Issue list moving forward.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi all

I stumbled into this problem a couple of days ago. After some experiments I found that the problem is that Word 2010 treats cell separators while pasting table contents in a different way than before. The report generation toolkit uses line feed (LF, \n) to separate both columns and rows, filling one cell at a time, from left to right, and then continuing with the next row. However, Word 2010 expects tab (\t) to separate each column and then a LF to continue on the next row, and then fills the selected table area with this sequence.

I have not found out how to insert a new line or a tab within a cell.

Try this by opening a  Notepad a create a table with different separators and copy it, create a Word document with a table, select an area of the table and paste. The result may look like the picture below.

I've attached two toolkit VIs modified with the updated separators.

Best regards

I am also having similar problem with appending table to excel. I am using "Append table to report VI" like this:

The problem is that it does not append all rows that are actualy in my array but just only few of them. Here is the actual table which I want to append:

 

And this is what i get in excel worksheet:

You can see that only two of ten rows are in report.

while I was searching for resolution of my issue, i found this:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D0D4B9912724D19862574F7006768ED

where says that I could either:

• Go to the bottom right element in your table and place a single space as the data.
• Go to the cell below or to the right of the bottom right element of your table and place a single space as the data.
  And make this values default.

BUT after i have done that it wasn't any better - even worse.

it looked like that:

there was still only two values in the table but they were shifted right.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you.
