    - Newbie question - how can I run a macro on a protected document Hi, I am using tcl with tcom to process some Word files, search for keywords, etc. I need to run a macro to unlink some fields. How can I run this macro and unprotect the document automagically if the document is sent to me protected? I can open the document and see the contents, but I cannot run the macro. Thanks for any help! This is the error I get: ::tcom::handle0x01439F60 % $::doc Run Macro1 0x80020003 {This method or property is not available because the document is a p rotected document.} Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99308

    - Style problems in Word 07 In Office Word 07 (Windows Vista), I cannot find a way to solve a formatting problem Iâ??m having. When I highlight a paragraph to change its style, the whole document changes to the style I chose for the selected paragraph. Also, If I change a paragraphâ??s word-font size or color, the whole document changes according to the style in the selected paragraph. I opened Microsoft Vistaâ??s â??Modify Styleâ?? box, but, unlike in Windows XP, there was no checkbox for â??Automatically Updateâ??. I also clicked on the Office Button and selected â??Word Optionsâ??, and the â??Popularâ?? on the â??enable live previewâ?? was already checked. Furthermore, none of the â??Stylesâ?? box selections solves the problem. Any suggestions? Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99285

    - How can I turn off shortcut keys ? I have Word 2003 Due to a nerve problem I have difficulty typing. As a result I very frequently accidently hit some shortcut combination and, since I'm watching the kb and not the screen, when I turn to the screen I find my formatting all screwed up. I've often found it impossible to figure out how to undo the formatting. Even 'undo' doesn't always help. Example: I had various words underlined in my text. One time I looked up from my typing to find all the underlined words changed their font and size and became bold and some italic. And the underlining changed to horizontal lines, which I have never figured out how to delete. Things like that happen all the time no matter how careful I try to be, altho that was the worst; I had to trash that doc and retype the whole thing. If I could turn off the shortcuts I think that the problem would go away; I hardly use them anyway. Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99274

    - Customising Word Hi I'm not sure if this is an Office question or a Windows XP question! I'm helping my dad set up a new computer, as he is visually impaired. We have used several of the accessibility functions within windows, including having white text on a black background and I have now installed Office XP. There are two aspects I'm having trouble with. Firstly when you hover over the icons on the toolbars they are a dark red, which makes it very difficult for my dad to see - is there anyway of selecting the colour it changes to or turning this feature off all together? On my computer the icons have a light orange shading, which does not detract from the icon at all. Secondly, when the Save As / Open dialog boxes appear they have the shortcut panel down the left hand side, is there anyway of removing this? Thank you for your help Emma -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/200704/1 Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99273

    - Word 2007 is unacceptable and must be changed With Word 2007, Microsoft has jumped the shark. I think the Word community, led by the MVPs--and I've seen several MVPs openly express their unhappiness about 2007?needs to communicate with Microsoft and tell them that Word 2007 is UNACCEPTABLE. Acting as a group we need to ask MS, among other things, to restore basic features that have been removed such as the Menu bar, the Toolbars, and custom menus and toolbars; to give users the ability to opt out of the Ribbon (not just to minimize it temporarily, but get rid of it); and to restore the ease of accessibility of various important dialog boxes that have now been hidden away in the most senseless locations.

    - Curious Spell Checker behavior Periodically, my spell checker will flag isolated words as misspelled. The words are accurately spelled, but for some reason, the spell checker uses a foreign dictionary (French or Spanish) for that word. When I manually change the language back to US English (my mother tongue) the squiggle disappears. The most recent episode flagged as misspelled several month names: June and September (both used French), but not April. Why? -- PT Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99234

    - Another great example of how Word 2007 "brings commands closer to the surface" In Word 97-2003, to open the AutoCorrect dialog box, you (1) click open the Tools menu and (2) click AutoCorrect. Two simple steps. To do the same in Word 2007, you (1) open the Office button, then (2) click on Word Options, then (3) use the down arrow to get down to Proofing, then (4) click on a button that says AutoCorrect options. That's four or more steps, compared to two simple steps in the earlier versions of Word. In Word 97-2003, the AutoCorrect dialog box is instantly seen, one step from the surface of Word. In Word 2007, it's several layers away from the surface. Now please someone explain to me: WHY? How does this new design make Word's basic commands "easier" to get to? If Word were an automobile, it would be as if they put the gear shift inside the glove compartment, and called that a more "user-friendly" car! Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99224

    - Outline Numbering I'm having trouble with Word 2007 and its outline numbering functionality. I start out with Heading-1, followed by Heading-2, followed by Heading-3 and it winds up looking like this: 1.0 This is Header-1 1.1 This is Header-2 1.1.1 This is Header-3 1.2 This is Header-2 1.1.2 This is Header-3 1.1.3 This is Header-3 1.3 This is Header-2 1.1.4 This is Header-3 1.1.5 This is Header-3 when it should look like this: 1.0 This is Header-1 1.1 This is Header-2 1.1.1 This is Header-3 1.2 This is Header-2 1.2.1 This is Header-3 1.2.2 This is Header-3 1.3 This is Header-2 1.3.1 This is Header-3 1.3.2 This is Header-3 I tried the "restart numbering" and "Set Numbering Value" options but all it does is either not work or it screws up the rest of the numbering in my document. I know I'm using the default Header-3 because when I try to modify it, it blocks me and warns that this is a default header. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I've been tearing my hair out! Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99204

    - Sort from the right Using Word 2003. I have a list of names of unequal word count. Some names in the list have only 1 word, some have 2 words, some have 3 words, some have more. I want to sort the list by the last name. In Word Perfect you used to be able to define a sort from the right by using a minus sign. For example, sort by word -1 which would start counting words from the right. Cannot find that option in Word 2003, but I'm wondering if there is some other mechanism for achieving the desired result. Example list that needs to be sorted by last name: Benjamin Franklin John Wilkes Booth Bill and Hillary Clinton George Washington J. Edgar Hoover Cher Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99165

    - Styles - sharing via Organizer I have a problem that I just cannot figure out and hope that someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I am using Word 2000 and creating styles with auto text entries/organization process. I followed the excellent article by Diane Chapman on "Use Auto Text to Create a Text Library." I have created styles and then added auto text entries regarding each of those styles that then should list via the Auto Text toolbar. I have created a style then based other styles on that original style modifying each new style as needed. Creating auto text entries related to those styles. The autotext entries and styles create and list as expected on the Auto Text toolbar. I then want to share those items with others in my office. I used the Organizer to transfer the created styles and auto text entries from my document to my normal.dot template. Then transfered same from Normal.dot to a template we keep on our server. Form that server template I use the organizer to copy to each office computer those same styles and auto text entries. The problem is that all of the auto text items listed under the original style I created transfer to the general template on our server and then to other computers with no problem. But some, not all, of the listed auto text items under the additional styles created do not transfer to the template/other computers. They are in the Tools/Auto Correct/Autotext listing, but do not show up under that style in the autotext toolbar (all entries) button. The style shows up for some with one or two items listed under it, for others the style does not show up. Why are some auto text entries and not others showing up under the styles? These entries change periodically and I thought this a good way to update information easily and quickly on each office computer. If I have not provided you specific info you need to help with my problem just let me know what further you need. Help! Thank you, AJ John R. Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99162

    - Yet another numbering question... Hi, I've read the Word help, plus many of the suggestions in this forum, but I'm still not sure what I'm doing, so I hope someone can help with my document numbering. I have a document. Each chapter is a new section. Each chapter has procedures, which I would like to have numbered as in the following pattern: Chapter 1 1.1 <procedure> 1.2 <procedure> Chapter 2 2.1 <procedure> 2.2 <procedure> I can achieve the first number by associating it with the chapter number. {STYLEREF "ChapNumber Char" \*MERGEFORMAT}. However, I can't figure out how to generate the second number. I tried using AUTONUM, but then I couldn't restart from 1 with each new section. I tried using SEQ, but it needed a bookmark. I also tried at one point to use outline numbering to get the effect I wanted, but since the procedures heading = Heading 3 (required), I could not force it to use the "level 2" look. IOW, instead of 1.1 <procedure>, which is what I want, I kept getting 1.1.1. <procedure> and couldn't seem to change it. So now I'm all confused. If someone could help me figure out how to generate the second digit of my procedure number, I'd appreciate it. And if you could tell me how to turn the whole thing into "Heading 3," so that whenever I used Heading 3, the numbering would be right there, I'd be eternally grateful! Thanks very much.

    - Insert Picture confusion Word 2003 I am having trouble with inserting pictures (jpeg) into my Word document. The last few I have inserted, somehow wind up in the header. I cannot correct it to save my life. I've tried re-scanning the picture, re-naming it and inserting into a blank document. Same thing. The other question I have, is why is it so difficult to insert a page between 2 pictures? I've tried to work around this by inserting a few blank pages, then inserting pictures into them, but if I've missed on along the way I can't add a blank page in between. Hope that makes sense! Thanks, Colleen. -- Colleen Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99155

    - Controlling Unexpected Font Changes I have been helping some new users learn Word, but they are frustrated by something that I've heard many complain about. Say you're editing a document that contains multiple fonts, and you select, say, "Times New Roman" as the font you want to type in. Then you move to another location in the document, and type, but the new text is not in "Times New Roman" but something else! Now *I* know why this happens -- hidden embedded commands setting the font for the current cursor position. But this is counter-intuitive to many new users -- If they select "Times New Roman", they expect everything they type from then on to display in "Times New Roman"! How can I explain the logic to a new user so that he/she will accept it? This may be a problem withsome of my older and more set-in-their-way-of- thinking members of the group. Also, it doesn't seem "logical" *at all* (even to me), when all text in a certain font is deleted, but the embedded command is still there, so if you move the cursor there and type, it's mysteriously in a different font -- This frustrates people more than anything! Better still, is there a macro or other workaround that will force Word to behave in the way these users expect? Dave Tag: Macro Security Settings Tag: 99150

    - Missing commands in Word 2007 After "upgrading" to Word 2007, I was appalled to see that my favorite commands have disappeared: 1) in Word 2003 you could select any word(s), press Alt+F3, enter an abbreviation, and thereafter just type the abbreviation + F3 to call up the text. That keystroke combination doesn't work in Word 2007. Does anybody know how to do it in Word 2007 (with as few keystrokes as possible, since I have to type long texts with long, repetitive words). 2) In Word 2003 you could select any word(s) and press Shift+F3 to toggle between uppercase, lowercase, and "Sentence Case". That may seem trivial, but I translate from German to English and use it all the time. There's some slow way of doing it in Word 2007 under the Home menu with the "Aa" icon, but I would appreciate if anybody could find the equivalent keystroke combination in 2007 or explain to me (for dummies!) how to progam a macro that would toggle between all three cases.

Basically, I also want to automatically set or configure my footnotes to the desired setting, but I have to manually adjust each footnote individually.

    - Turn off Reviewing in Word 2003 I have been using Word 97 for a long period of time and just start using Word 2003. When I receive an Email containing a Word document, I open it and find that there are a number of characters in different colours. Then I find that they are reviews of the Word document. I would like to know 1) Why does the sender send a document with the history of amendments ? I find that she just make a copy from her predecessor and change the name to her with her new Email address. OR She has turned on Reviewing and so her changes are recorded BUT she is not aware of it? 2) I haven't turned on Reviewing (At least I don't have the Reviewing Toolbar shown), why do I see those changes ? 3) If I don't show the "Reviewing Toolbar", don't press "Track Changes", my Word 2003 document will not keep track of my changes (to avoid the embarrassment that lady has) ? Can it be set up in options ? 4) If I have a Word Document and found that Track Changes are on, does it mean that I have to confirm change before sending to other staff ?

"Trust center" to make it stop, disabled macros but that doesn't make any
difference. How can I make this annoying error go away and never come back
again? Thanks.
