To import a Microsoft Word file

You can import a Microsoft Word XP or Microsoft Word 2003 file into LiveCycle Designer ES. The Word file can be a document (DOC), a template (DOT), or a rich text format (RTF) file.

Word objects, including paragraphs, tables, images, line art, form fields, headers, and footers, are converted into LiveCycle Designer ES XML objects, and all rich text formatting is preserved.

Note:

If the Word file contains contiguous underlined tab characters (where underscore is used as the tab character), LiveCycle Designer ES attempts to convert the information into a text field.

LiveCycle Designer ES displays the file import options each time you import a Word file.

1.	Select Tools > Import.

2.	From the Files Of Type list, select Microsoft Word Document (DOC, DOT, RTF).

3.	Navigate to the file that you want to open, select the file, and click Open.

4.	In the File Import Options dialog box, type a password if it is needed to open or unprotect the file.

5.	To substitute any missing fonts and suppress all font substitution error messages, select Ignore Missing Fonts.

6.	To convert and embed any images into the form design, select Convert Images.

7.	Select a logging option from the Generate Log File list.

8.

Click OK.

Note:

Because LiveCycle Designer ES accesses the Windows clipboard to convert data, the clipboard cannot be accessed by other applications while LiveCycle Designer ES is importing a Word file.
