Can IFilters 2.0 full-text index the text in a chart in an Office 2007 document? - sql-server

I have a full-text catalog containing PowerPoint presentations. Some of those presentations contain charts, and in those cases, the chart is usually the main thing on the slide. When doing a search, I therefore want to be able to search for the text within the chart (e.g. the labels on a pie chart, the categories on a bar chart, etc.).
I'm disappointed (and surprised) to find that this does not seem to work. I can search for text within the presentation itself, but not for any of the text on the chart.
Please tell me there's just a setting somewhere that I need to change!
[I've tried this for charts created within PowerPoint, and charts created in Excel and then pasted into PowerPoint.]

Gary, the text extraction from Office documents is handled by the Office Filter Pack and as such, there is nothing Full-text can do for embedded data which the filters do not parse.
I successfully repro-ed the problem in my SQL Server 2012 install with the latest Office Filters. A quick work-around would be to add the labels/categories to the Notes section of each slide which gets parsed and filtered and returned to the full-text indexer.

Change formatting of Sharepoint Knowledge Database Enterprise Keywords

I'm using the sharepoint knowledge database and its enterprise keywords for the first time. I have entered around 3-7 keywords for each item, and now each row is extremely wide, because each keyword is on a new line.
I would like to change this:
I'd like to make the text wrap on my Enterprise Keywords look like it does when I'm in edit grid view as below. As you can see, one takes a lot more space than the other
Enterprise Keywords in edit grid view (as I would like mine to look)
Enterprise Keywords not in edit grid view (as it currently looks, imo the format is not as pleasant for large databases)

Google datastudio : chart style

Today we have many google data studio reports, we manually style the report charts by using chart options like tableheader, tablefooter, ...).
Someone in the company asked me if we can reuse styling over reports instead of defining it each time again. By using this colab notebook (https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/community-visualization#0) we could build a simple bar chart with a CSS. However we do not have the need to build the chart by our self (community visualization with defined java script).
My question
Is it possible to define the style of the 'out of the box' google data studio reports in a way that it is reusable over different reports instead of doing it manually into each report? According my investigation I would conclude that this is not possible, however I would like to be sure before I communicate this into the company.
Thx

SSAS measure display folders do not show up

I'm developing a cube using the multidimensional model on the Sql Server 2014 Dev edition. Having quite a few measures in a single group I'm trying to organise them into display folders that doesn't work though for some reason. The defined display folders do not show up in any client - Visual Studio, SSMS, Excel, Power BI - you name it. Using VS I can see the defined folders in the properties window, on the translation tab, everywhere except the browser tab. And yes, the visibility attribute for the measures is set to True.
Please let me know if anybody came cross this and fixed.
As it turned out display folders will not appear unless you provide captions for the all added translations.

Drag and Drop word document onto Silverlight 4 web part within a SharePoint 2010 web page

User should be able to drag and drop a word document onto a SharePoint 2010 web page and the content in the word document must be displayed on the page (including images, format etc.)
Any ideas on how to achieve this functionality?
You'll have to bake your own solution here. Luckily, you should be able to get started with TextGlow, which renders docx files in Silverlight. It has an intermediate level of formatting accounted for, but more can be programmed in. It's also SL2.0, so it will need to be updated and customized to meet your needs. See a demo at: http://www.textglow.com/
Then, wrap it in a SharePoint webpart and account for Drag/Drop, etc. There are a lot of good intro videos on Channel 9 about this and lots of other blogs elsewhere.

ReportViewer - LocalReport - Merge reports?

I'm using ReportViewer WinForms, and since it is no easy way to create an coversheet, then I wonder, is it possible to render two reports and have them concatenated?, so they appear as one report?
If I was to print only, then I could execute two reports after each other, but since the user want to see the report before printing (you know, no environment waste here) then they have to appear in the same viewer.
OR, is there other ways of creating coversheets?
Today I use an subreport, but there are some issues with margins etc. which is not easy to fix.
To clarify, we are talking about
ReportViewer using RDLC files, no
Crystal Reports involved.
Do you need to display the 2 reports as 1 in the reportViewer control or would having them both exported to PDF and showing a single PDF containing both reports be satisfactory?
I was looking for that but using the Web ReportViewer and found examples exporting the reports to several PDFs, then concatenating the PDFs into 1 using PDFtk (free)
Blog post about using PDFtk and Reporting Services
Multiple RDLC reports displayed at the same time
PDFtk web site
I've created a report that sounds like what you are attempting to do...first to clarify, I'm going to guess your using Crystal Reports within VS2005/2008.
If that's the case, all you need to do in the main report is create an additional section after your section that contains the "Cover Sheet" layout/data. In the section expert for the "Cover Sheet" section (in layout view, right click on section header bar, pick section expert in pop up menu..), check off the "New Page After" option.
Edit: After your update, I see you are using RDLC reports, and from my limited exposure to those, I can't recall an easy way to get to where you want to be. Though I'm pretty sure you may be able to pass multiple reports to the same report viewer in code.
