is this possible with summarize comments

[supernova]

I have the following comments summarized (as a example)

Code: Select all

Page: 491

Page: 491
----------------------------------------------------------------
Author: me   Subject: Highlight    Date: 03/11/2009, 11:14:42
----------------------------------------------------------------
 Highlight text here 

Page: 491
----------------------------------------------------------------
Author: me   Subject: Highlight    Date: 03/11/2009, 11:14:44
----------------------------------------------------------------
More Highlight text here 

I infact only wish to have the following displayed when i export

Code: Select all

Page: 491

Highlight text here

More Highlight text here 

Is this possible?
any way i can achieve this?

Hello Andi,

I am afraid it's not possible at the moment, but see that there are several export file formats so you could summarize your comments to e.g. Rich Text Format and then remove the unwanted text.

There would be additional advanced options added with future builds that will allow you to better fine tune the summarize output.

Thanks,

Certainly would be useful, also font options.

PS the copy across highlighted text feature doesn't work with html

I just knocked up this VB macro up for word , not very elegant and needs some changes to tidy things up. But does the job for the time being

Code: Select all

Sub removestuff()
'
' removestuff Macro
' Macro created 03/11/2009 by Andrew Crook
'

' removes all "Page" markers apart from the Main ( font size 16)
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = "Page:"
While .Execute
    If oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Size <> 16 Then
     oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Delete
    End If
Wend
End With

' remove all lines with "Author:"
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = "Author:"
While .Execute
oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Delete
Wend
End With

' remove all the lines we are left with
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
oRng.Borders(wdBorderTop).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
oRng.Borders(wdBorderBottom).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone

End Sub

cheers

A useful script indeed,

But I am not sure I fully understood the part for the HTML copy across highlighted text.

But I am not sure I fully understood the part for the HTML copy across highlighted text.

I use this option....

Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" option in Edit->Preferences...->Commenting.

this "highlighted" text isnt copied across when the output is HTML, like it is with pdf, plain text and rtf
