    - Print View messed up WinXP Pro SP2 Word 2002 SP3 Hi, All of a sudden, my print view got messed up and my documents open without showing the full page and the headers/footers. See screenshot jere: <http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=zlzyztugm4l&thumb=6> The cursor is just right at the very top of the document; and it is very irritating. My stationary containing custom headers is not displayed properly, etc. If I go View|Header and Footer, the cursor then returns to its proper position and the top margin is displayed again. I have NOT made any active changes to anything at all--beyond opening up a document from a client that could have been setup to display as A4 but I do not know if there is a connection or not. Can anyone help me recover proper Print View display please? Thanks. Tag: associate doc file to word 2007 Tag: 112994

    - WORD 2003 note / table formatting I have been sent a text MS Word 2003 file from my publisher that appears to have the endnotes of a long text chapter listed at the end (not imbeded) but set/formatted in some odd sort of table styles that scroll off the text to the right off the page and that have an odd square character at the front of each note. Each note has lines around it. I have absolutely no experience with Word table styles, and just want to get rid of this table formatting entirely, to get normal text. The styles pane lists many kinds of table styles. How do I get rid of ALL of them from the text? thanks. Tag: associate doc file to word 2007 Tag: 112953

    - 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.

    - 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: associate doc file to word 2007 Tag: 112915

    - 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: associate doc file to word 2007 Tag: 112799
