    - Drop down menu short In my Word 2002, when I click on File, Edit and other menus, the drop down box opens shortened. Of course, if I move mouse to the arrows on the bottom, the box opens all the way down. I think there is way to change this behavior and have menus open all the way down from the beginning. However, I was unable to find it. May someone please suggest how to make drop down menus open all the way from the first click? -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida Tag: File location in status bar Tag: 112920

    - Help with VBA / Macros Word 2003 Form please Hi All, I am new to VBA programming with word and am looking for help with an issue that has me stumped. I am trying to create a word form that, upon opening, will open a text file, get a 6 digit string (the only content of the text file), put it in a text form field (Receipt_Num) and then execute a macro that will display a dropdown calendar and put the selected date in another text form field (Letter_Date). The Letter_Date "Run Macro on Entry" box has "OpenCalendar" in it. There are more fields and macros in the form but they don't have any bearing on the issue. Both activities work independantly, and calendar activity works from within the document, however if I put the code to read the number from the file and then write the contents to the text form field in AutoOpen(), problems arise. When I open the document everything works OK until the Line of asteriskes in the AutoOpen() code at this point the programme jumps to Sub OpenCalendar() and starts into the Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() code, when it gets to the line: CurrentEntry = ActiveDocument.FormFields(ActiveField).Result it writes (correct) data to the Receipt_Num field and then continues on into the Private Sub Calendar1_Click() and then produces an error message on the code after the asterisks, the error is: Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error -2147467259 (80004005) Method 'Result' of object 'FormField' failed If I hit the END button on the error message I can then use the form as usual, i.e. go to the Letter_Date field select the date from the calendar and it will go into the fiels as expected. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Wooly EDITED: It appears that the programme will "go off course" into what ever macro is identified in the The Letter_Date "Run Macro on Entry" box ________________________________________________________________ Sub AutoOpen() Dim Store_Receipt_Number_File As String Dim Current_Receipt_Number As Long Dim Last_Receipt_Number As String Store_Receipt_Number_File = "J:\Foundation\Tax_Receipts\Admin\Last_Receipt_Number.txt" 'File that stores the last number FNum = FreeFile Open Store_Receipt_Number_File For Input As FNum Input #FNum, Last_Receipt_Number Close FNum Current_Receipt_Number = CLng(Last_Receipt_Number) + 1 'Increment last record number **********THIS IS WHERE IT GOES WRONG*************** ActiveDocument.FormFields("Receipt_Num").Result = Current_Receipt_Number 'Put it in document End Sub ________________________________________________________________ Sub many more macros End Sub Sub AutoClose() bla bla bla End Sub ________________________________________________________________ Sub OpenCalendar() frmCalendar.Show End Sub ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim ActiveField As String Dim CurrentEntry As String ActiveField = Selection.Bookmarks(1).Name CurrentEntry = ActiveDocument.FormFields(ActiveField).Result If IsDate(CurrentEntry) Then Calendar1.Value = DateValue(CurrentEntry) Else Calendar1.Value = Date End If End Sub ________________________________________________________________ Private Sub Calendar1_Click() Dim ActiveField As String ActiveField = Selection.Bookmarks(1).Name *****************Error occurs on following line***************** ActiveDocument.FormFields(ActiveField).Result = Format(Calendar1.Value, "dd mmmm yyyy") Unload Me End Sub ________________________________________________________________ Private Sub cmdClose_Click() Unload Me End Sub Tag: File location in status bar Tag: 112915

I've formated the text box to lock anchor, and it has absolute positioning checked - which I think is a default as I didn't mark this. In the Advanced Layout option under picture position - there are several options - one is a book layout - should this be checked instead of just alignment? and if so, what do I make the margins?

    - Need help with Find and Replace using Regular Expressions I'm trying to search for instances of "St" in the middle of a word (uppercase S, lowercase t) so that I can use Find and Replace to correct the casing (as in firSt, laSt). I've come up with the following regular expression string which almost works: [!(<)( )(")(')^13]St It was necessary to add so many exclusions to prevent it from giving me "St" at the beginning of a word or line, after initial quotes, etc. So, this works well except that it highlights not just "St", but the letter preceding it: "rSt", "aSt". This prevents me from using Find and Replace to replace "St" with "st". I can't seem to get a wildcard like ?st to work in the Replace box, so I'm stuck. What is it about my regex string that says "return the letter preceding the string I'm looking for too"? Thanks in advance. Tag: File location in status bar Tag: 112799

No, but you can put it in the title bar with a macro in the normal template.

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Thanks, that helps. The problem with doing that is that it also show
the file location in the vista taskbar...this is annoying when you
have multiple word files open. Any way to have the file location in
the title bar, but the file name only displayed in the taskbar?

I don't know anything about Vista or whether it is possible to limit what is
displayed in the Windows task bar, but adding the file path to the title bar
shouldn't make any difference to the task bar. Maybe
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6150810.html will provide
a start point?
