Hi guys/experts:
sorry for wide-expend, but I can't figure out a solution for this...
below is the response to my original issue I got from author of Utl plugin:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=293
to summarize:
==issue==
use Utl, linking to an external file, when external file is text it
works perfect.
regardless of Utl, with autocmd I can open MS-word files from inside vim
perfectly.
problem is , with Utl linking to external MS-word file, it doesn't work,
instead it give me an empty buffer instead of buffer of the rendered
external file in the text format (this is my target).
==my Utl related config==
let g:utl_cfg_hdl_mt_application_msword="VIM"
==my autocmd==
see below
b.t.w I feel this is a good feature brought by Utl plugin -- it turns
text file into a hyper-linked page, analogous to the vim help file
feature but still be independent of the FT -- just ideally if this
"linking to autocmd rendered external file" feature can work...
regards
ping

Hi,
sorry for the late answer.
If I test with a MS Word document, having in my .vimrc file:
let g:utl_cfg_hdl_mt_application_msword="VIM"
but without these autocmd commands, then I get the Word file displayed
inside Vim when I open it with :Utl . It is of course displayed as
binary data since the .doc is binary data.
Now, when I use these autocmd command, but replacing antiword with
notepad since I have no antiword installed:
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd FileReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set hlsearch!
autocmd BufReadPost *.doc %!notepad "%"
autocmd FileReadPost *.doc %!notepad "%"
I get a .doc file displayed in Notepad, ending up inside Vim with an
empty buffer as you described.
So I guess you should modify your autocmd in order not to open the
file externally (in antiword/notepad) but rather filter it and feed it
back into Vim.
I think Utl is not part of your problem.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi,
as I understand your usage, files with an extension ".doc" are not
Microsoft-Word documents, but rather text files like a .txt
extension.
*no that is not the case. ".doc" IS MS docs, I use following autocmd to
open MS-word docs in vim and it works just fine:
"doc to text
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd FileReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set hlsearch!
autocmd BufReadPost *.doc %!antiword "%"
autocmd FileReadPost *.doc %!antiword "%"
so my goal here is , instead of launch an external handler APP(MS
office or OOO suite), I want Utl to try open the
MS word doc ,via using these autocmd to render it, all from inside vim
-- either in a new buffer in same window or a new tab.*
What happens is that some extensions (as ".doc" is) are hard coded
into Vim which means, that utl.vim is looking for a handler that
deals with the document. In your case no one is defined.
In order to display files, for which a handler is involved, in Vim,
you can provide a handler variable with the special value "VIM".
In your case you should put the following line into you .vimrc file:
let g:utl_cfg_hdl_mt_application_msword="VIM"*
*
*I put this in .vimrc and restart it, still not working.
it seems open a new empty buffer.*
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Stefan

I'm using vim Utl plugin and enjoy it.
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=293
but today I run into an issue here.
so if I use this in my text:
7 habit <url:books/7\ habits\ of\ highly\ effective\
people.txt>
it works. it will jump into the folder books and open linked file
in current window for me.
while if I use this:
7 habit <url:books/7\ habits\ of\ highly\ effective\
people.doc>
it report:
No handler for media type application/msword defined yet. Entering
Setup now. <RETURN>
and i f I return it goes to the Utl help.
I already have these setup in my vimrc file:
"doc to text
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd FileReadPre *.doc set ro
autocmd BufReadPre *.doc set hlsearch!
autocmd BufReadPost *.doc %!antiword "%"
autocmd FileReadPost *.doc %!antiword "%"
so if I :open/:read a doc file it will be automatically rendered into vim.
is there anything missed here?
copy to the vim google group if anyone else knows how-to.
thanks!
