An empty editor's getData() method returns an empty paragraph filled with the . There is a function getDataWithoutFiller() in the API but it's not a function available to use in the editor instance.
Do you want to check whether the editor is empty? There's no such option for now, but it should be implemented in the next iteration. The request for that functionality is in the https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/401.
The simple but not complete workaround would be to replace and other white spaces with an empty string and check then if there are only empty paragraphs.
Other than that, the in the non-empty content is important as otherwise, the created paragraphs would be 0px high.

I'm trying (and failing) to fill out a text box (TextFrame) in Publisher using a macro from content in a Word table. I'm trying to do something along the lines of:
With doc.Pages(1).shapes(1)
.GroupItems.Item(8).TextFrame.TextRange = table.Cell(2, 3).Range.FormattedText
End With
The source text from table has a bunch of font formatting that I need in the text box but it won't seem to be able to copy over the formatting and I just get the plain text. Any ideas on how to get this working properly?
Edit: It seems like TextFrame can't accept formatted text at all. Is there any way around this?
In Word TextFrame.TextRange returns a range which has a FormattedText property. The usage for that would be:
.GroupItems.Item(8).TextFrame.TextRange.FormattedText = table.Cell(2, 3).Range.FormattedText
In your code you haven't specified which property of the TextRange you want to assign the formatted text to. This means it will be assigned to the default property, Text, which is just a string and cannot contain any formatting.
Golden Rule: never rely on default properties, always specify the
property you want to use.
Given that you appear to be taking a value from Word into Publisher you should be looking at the documentation for VBA in Publisher which shows you that the TextRange object in Publisher does not have a FormattedText property, so you cannot take formatting across using this method.
I have an Access form with textboxes that contain some default text. The users are required to replace the text with words of their own, so I wrote a macro to confirm that (before proceeding to the next record) the text boxes no longer contain the default text. (It gives user a warning plus some other tasks, which is why I'm not using built-in Validation rules.)
The macro contains this sequence:
SetLocalVar
Name: booDetailDefault
Expression = [Forms]![frmChangeReq]![txtProblem].[Text]=[Forms]![frmChangeReq]![txtProblem].[DefaultValue]
The idea is if ...[Text] is the same as ...[DefaultValue], then booDetailDefault would be TRUE, and if not, FALSE.
However, what I do get is "Type Mismatch". I would think that Text and DefaultValue would be the same type.
Can you tell why I got this error?
Is there any way to display the Text and DefaultValue values so I can see why Access thinks they're different?
Is there a better way to see if the text boxes have been changed?
EDIT: The default text is set in the Property Sheet for the textbox. I've been running it manually, not tying it to an event yet, until I get it working.
I used Text instead of Value because that's what was available in the Macro Builder, but just in case I tried changing it to Value. It works, although I have to tell the expression to expect quotation marks around half of it:
[Forms]![frmChangeReq]![txtProblem].[DefaultValue]="""" & [Forms]![frmChangeReq]![txtProblem].[Value] & """"
I need to analyze text of my Word document, and create bookmarks on range of text my analyzer has detected (almost like a grammar checker).
I don't want use Find() utility, because my needs are too specific.
Explanations
For that,
1/ Retrieve Document plain text
I Retrieve Plain text of the main story of my document :
String plainText = ActiveDocument.Range().Text;
2/ Analyze plain text and get results
I send it to my analyzer tool which return a collection of marker with position :
For example, if I wanted to detected the pattern "my pattern" in the document text, analyzer could return a marker as { pattern : "my marker", start: 5, end : 14 }, where "start" and "end" are the character indexes of the pattern in the plain text sent.
3/ Display results in Document
I create bookmark from theses markers
For previously example, it woold be :
// init a new range and collapse it
Word.Range range = activeDocument.Range(); range.Collapse(WdCollapseStart);
// move character-by-character in the "formatted" text
range.MoveStart(WdUnits.Character, Marker.start ); # Marker.start=5
//set length (end)
range.setRange(range.Start,range.Start+(Marker.End-Marker.Start)); #Marker.end=14
4/ Results
4.1 Global Result
Everything is OK when Document Main Story Contains Text, links, lists, titles :
Ranges are well positionned, Plain Text indexes correlate with formatted text indexes.
4.2 Arrays Issue
When a document contains an array, Ranges are bad positionned a few characters : Plain Text indexes correlate not exactly with formatted text indexes.
I found the reason of this issue (It was explained in others forums) : this is due to non printing char(7), which is a cell delimiter added in plain text. We can handle these chars to calculate position range and everything is OK !
4.3 Issue for Content Controls, Table of contents, Sections and others
When a document contains theses elements, Ranges are also bad positionned a few characters.
Others non printing appears in plain text but I don't understand what it means and how deal with to calculate position range.
By displaying Word element markers with "Developer ribbon > creation mode", we see 2 markers per elements : shifting plain text indexes by 2*elements resolve issues. It's seems OK.
4.4 Issue with Endpaper
I don't know how we says "page de garde" (french) in english, I think it's "endpaper" : this is the first page with specific header, footer and content controls :)
When a document contains an Endpaper, Ranges are also bad positionned a few characters.
But this time, there are not non printing marker in the plain text.
Other info, when I display word element markers with "Developer ribbon > creation mode", I see endpaper markers.
Questions
How detect Endpaper in Word Document Range ?
How understand Plain Text indexes don't always correlate with formatted text indexes, in function of Word document elements which contains ?
XML nodes manipulation would be a more reliable alternative for that? If yes, could you give me good examples to manage bookmars or others in current document with XML Api ?

I hope my explanations are clear and you can help me to understand what is wrong or show me a best way to do that ?
Thanks, really.
It's not really pretty but you can try to remove the unwanted characters by Regex. For example to remove the \a letters (it has code 7):
string j = new string(new char[] { (char)7 });
plainText = Regex.Replace(plainText,string.Format("[{0}]", j), "");
Now you have to identify the other 'evil' characters and add them to the char array. If it works you will get a string whose length corresponds with the number of Characters in your document. Probably you have to adapt this code by experimenting. (I was not sure which language you are using - I supposed C#.)
Update
Another idea (if it is applicable to your analyzer tool):
Break your problem down to single paragraphs:
foreach(Word.Paragraph pg in activeDocument.Paragraphs)
{
Word.Range range = pg.Range();
string text = range.Text;
// your stuff here
}
With this paragraph range objects and the contained text strings you do the same as you tried to do with the whole document object and its text - just paragraph by paragraph. All these paragraphs are 'addressable' by ranges and Move operations as you already do it. I suppose that the problematic characters are outside or at the end of the paragraphs so they don't influence the character counting inside these paragraphs.
As I can't reproduce what you call endpaper I can't validate it. Besides I don't know if special text ranges as page headers and tables of content are covered by paragraphs. But at least you can reduce your problem to smaller ranges. I think it is worth trying.
I have a sketch in processing I am working on which contains a textfield and a submit button. When the submit button is pressed, a file with is created using the name given in the textfield. I want to make sure something has been entered into the textfield when the submit button is pressed, however, it appears that by default the string is not empty or contain white space and is not caught by if statements.
Is there any simple way to check that something has been entered in the text field without needing to resort to something like regex?
I am not sure I understood whether by default your string is not empty and also does not contain white space (which would make it an odd example). The best possible check I can think of is to trim whatever the entered string is and then check if it is empty:
if(enteredString.trim().length() > 0) println("The string is valid");
the trim() method trims leading and trailing spaces, so if there are only spaces they will be removed making the string empty. Also, since you are saving files you might want to check for invalid characters. With Processing (Java) you don't necessarily have to resort to regex since you can do stuff like these:
String s = "ashd/ah";
println(s.contains("/"));
println(s.replace("/","-"));
which will print:
true

the webapp was already done on office2007 and i need to convert it so it'll work in office2010.
i was able to convert the header generator part of the code but i have problem with the body of the doc itself. the code copy the data from a "data" doc and paste it into the generated doc.
appword.activewindow.activepane.view.seekview = 0
'set appsel1 = appword.activewindow.selection
set appsel1 = appword.window(filepath).selection -that is the original one
appdoc1.bookmarks("b1").select
appword.selection.insertafter("some text")
appsel1.endkey(6) -the code stops here
appword.selection.insertafter("some other text")
the iexplorer debuger says ERROR:appsel1 object required. and when i view its data using the iexplorer debugger its data is "empty" instead of "{...}"
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong
if you need more of the code tell me.
From MSDN
After this method is applied, the selection expands to include the new
text.
If you use this method with a selection that refers to an entire
paragraph, the text is inserted after the ending paragraph mark (the
text will appear at the beginning of the next paragraph). To insert
text at the end of a paragraph, determine the ending point and
subtract 1 from this location (the paragraph mark is one character).
However, if the selection ends with a paragraph mark that also happens
to be the end of the document, Microsoft Word inserts the text before
the final paragraph mark rather than creating a new paragraph at the
end of the document.
Also, if the selection is a bookmark, Word inserts the specified
text but does not extend the selection or the bookmark to include the
new text.
So I suspect that you still have no selected text.
I wonder if you can do a Selection Collapse(wdCollapseStart) but that's just a thought.
