Hazard symbol inserted partially replicated at the lower side of the template

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am creating a label template that contains a Hazard symbol (G1023001SY-flammable symbol) that placed in the upper right side of the label as a Graphic in Text Box. The symbol is properly displayed when I generate a symbol but it happens the lower side of the flammable symbols also comes up in the lower side of the label!!

I used the value assignment type SAP_EHS_1023_001 (EHS labeling).

An example of what I mentioned above:

Would you shed some light on it, please?

Thank you so much in advance.

Dear Mariano

strange effect really. Normally this is related to "misuse" of WinWord functionality. I have seen such effects as well only using WinWord (without WWI integration). But this is a long time ago.

Can you please check:

1.) Do you use footer or header technique to "insert" the WWI symbol?

2.) the symbol is not entered as a "winword  (e.g. take a look here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/word-help/add-a-draft-or-confidential-watermark-to-your-word-docum...

3.) you have used corresponding "carriage return" characters after entering the symbol

Dear Christoph,

Thanks a lot for all your comments and proposals.

The WWI symbol has been inserted in the Header area of the corresponding label but I do not see this is a problem in itself. Am I mistaken?  I also checked what you suggested me and the problem persists as it is. I do not know what you mean by "carriage return" characters. Would you be so kind to explaning it to me , please?

Thank you so much again

Hi Mariano,

as Christoph wrote, you may have entered the symbopl in a header or footer. Another possibility is that you entered the symbol once in a textbox (upper right corner) and once not within a textbox (bottom). The latter may be har to see as if you have inserted the symbol as text und put a textbox in front of it, you don't see the text anymore. So in edit mode, select one after another eaxh textbox, right click it and go to order-->send behind text. Then you can see whether some text is hidden behind the text box.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your help and wise comments.

I also tried what you suggested me and there are no texts behind the text box. I am really puzzled. I also tried to eliminate the footer but nothing seemed to be working either.

Thanks a lot anyway.

Dear Mariano

the effect you have is in my opinion a "winword" effect and not related to use of WWI. You need really to discuss with a "WinWord" guru. I have the feeling that something with "format" is wrong so that the symbol is shown as a "water symbol" (graphic behind the text") and as a graphic in the header line

Proposal: may be delete the symbol, and then add it again;

With carriage Return: in your graphic "as shown in this thread) some "green" carriage return (refer to firste hearde line  characters are shown; here WinWord and WWI react "strange" sometimes and this is one of the reasons why you can get "easily" strange effects in WWI reports. I will not go into detail: but this "carriage return" topic is one of those topics which gives rise to the most frequent problems within WWI.

PS: a small survey regarding winword functionality regarding your topic showed "strange" effects regarding "similar" topicsb ased on WinWord Version used (that means behaviour of WinWord 2033 is different to WinWord 2007 and might be diffrent to WinWord 20120 once again). Which WinWord version are you using?

Dear Christoph,

Thanks  a lot for our help and comments.  My current WInWord version is 2010. The thing is I tried to eliminate the footer and even header in my template and nothing works. Either I erase completely the symbol (which it is not the main purpose as you can guess) or it is aways popping up together with a partial symbol at the footer. I do not really know what to do.

The "water symbol" issue seems not to have nothing to do with this as it is persistent.

Thanks again for you help.

Kind Regards,

Mariano

Dear Mariona

if you use e.g. "report to template" process then some files are downloaded form SAP to your local client (in some WWI folder; based on WWI setup). These files do have extension eg.:

*.val, *.wwi etc. (normally something like: lehsfil*.*), resfihl*.* (oor soemthing like that). Can yu please check the files. One file is related to the WWI layout, one files contains the "raw report"/"final report" one file contains the "data" (*.val). Here you should find some referenced to the "graphic"; please checK:

is there a "double" reference to the same symbol? Analyse the "layout" file (here the values are not expanded); analyse the "raw reprot/final report);

If necessary open them in "notepad" or "Wordpad" (not !! with Winword); here you can go done "deep" the winword structure; in former Winword versions in combination with WWI the format was "RTF". Now it might be "docx"

By deep analysis of these files you might get an idea what goes wrong.

Dear Christoph,

Thanks once more for your help and support. I really appreciate it.

I was finally able to sort it out by doing the following: I copied the template content into a Word document, I changed the paper size (bigger size than my current one), I left the borders without fill and the problem popped up; the WWI symbol was , somehow behind the whole template. So, I went back to the WWI template , drag the borders and erase the persistent symbols. After that, my template is working pretty good again.

Thanks for your tips and comments. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

Mariano
