    - Selecting the right document Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ActiveDocument.Unprotect WordBasic.MailMergeFindEntry Application.ScreenUpdating = False Windows("SERVICE AGREEMENT (Read-Only)").Activate Selection.WholeStory Selection.Copy Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault) Selection.TypeBackspace ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="", NoReset:=False, Type:= _ wdAllowOnlyFormFields Windows("SERVICE AGREEMENT (Read-Only)").Activate ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="", NoReset:=False, Type:= _ wdAllowOnlyFormFields End Sub Okay, here is my script. As you can see after a new document i created the origingal merged document (read-only) is selected t protect it. Now my problem is that although i want "Servic Agreements" protected I want the new document to be showing. Wha would be the script that would allow me to leave the new documen active but still protect 'service agreement' NOTE: Making the new document active after the at the end would no work as there can be several new documents created ie 'document 1' 'document 2' etc. I want the most recent document to be active.

    - Weird message on closing Word This may be related to a recent installation of Norton Anti-Virus because I don't recall seeing it before, but now every time I close Word I get a dialog box asking Do you want to save the changes you made to "Windows In Taskbar.dot"? The options are yes, no or cancel, and I'm saying no because I have no idea what this is. I'm using Word 2000 with Windows 2000 and everything is fully updated. Thanks for any help.

    - Favorites gone in 2003 I recently upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003. Now whe I open word documents from Word, I no longer have the Favorites folder on the left side of the screen. I can add items to "My Places", but I have many folders in the "My Places" and each is listed individually in the dialog box and scrolling through them is not worth the effort. Is there a way to get the favorites folder back? TIA George Tag: How do I create drop down box in Word Tag: 69594

    - Form AutoText Completion I have designed a protected form with fields to be completed. Is there a way that once, say one field is completed, this text is then duplicated in certain other fields. So for example, if you input a name, then this name is then autocompleted in other sections to save entering the details time and time again.

    - Email hyperlinks not working I've pretty much posted this everywhere - maybe someone here can help. I'm using Word 2003 as my email editor. When I click on a hyperlink in an incoming email message, it opens Internet Explorer, BUT, nothing comes up. The only way it will open the hyperlink is if another instance of Internet Explorer is open. It is as if the hyperlink is not triggering IE to launch totally. Any ideas? All information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sue Tag: How do I create drop down box in Word Tag: 69586

    - Auto-selecting entire fields within a doc? I'm using Word 2002, and this feature seems to have disappeared. As fa back as I can remember, I've been able to easily select an entire fiel displayed in a document by dragging the mouse over the first couple o characters. (Similar to the auto select entire word.) Now it only doe one character at a time. This isn't a big deal until I want to edit the definition for a TOC b highlighting the whole thing and clicking "Edit Field". It doesn' recognize it as a field and I have to recreate the TOC entirely. Is there a setting somewhere for this? I couldn't find it in the Wor options list. I've done a lot of VB customization and I'm wondering i I mistakenly set something through VB. Thanks for any help!

We would like to know in order to make our documents compatibitble. What settings should we set up in Word 2003 ? Under Tools --> Save, Should we select "Disable features introduced after Word 97" ?

    - figuring page x of y Hi Honestly - I seldom use Word, so this might be a overly basic question...So don't laugh !

How do I use the x of y pages in the footer, but with numbers of my choosing, e.g.; 2 of 125, then 8 of 125, 15 of 125, etc. I want to email the finished product back, without blank pages.

    - Word lists (as opposed to word count) Is there a facility to list all the words used in a Word document? I don't need to know the word length but the vocabulary list of any given piece of text. Frequency of occurence would be useful but not essential. It would not need to be used with a dictionary or spell-checker, but simply to list every different combination of letters separated by spaces. This would mean I could find out what sort of language complexity a text has in any language by knowing which words it uses (useful both in my capacity as a language teacher and a language learner). If there is no such function in Word, are there any commercially available programs on the market that do this? ***************************************** * This message was posted via http://www.officekb.com * * Report spam or abuse by clicking the following URL: * http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Abuse.aspx?aid=8497f874a12c4950a0c30bcbab66b7c0 ***************************************** Tag: How do I create drop down box in Word Tag: 69533

    - File - Open - takes a really long time! Hello, I am using Office 2003. When I try to open a file, the open file dialog comes up and when I click the drop down arrow in the Look In: field, it takes a minute or two for the directory list to drop down. It never used to take this long; however, recently, a dialog popped up and said something about indexing or searching (I didn't read it very closely - but clicked the OK button), then the next thing I know, every time I try to open a file, it takes forever to get the directory list. Any idea how to turn this feature OFF. Thanks for any suggestions. -- TLF Tag: How do I create drop down box in Word Tag: 69492

    - Field Code issue in printing comments Hi I am printing a doc in W2000, and for some reason some of the comments on the last page show the page number before the comment entry text, and the remainer don't. I have tracked this to a field code issue, however cannot find how to resolve it to make them all the same. I actually want to print the page number preceding each comment, so assume that the field code is somehow responsible for this. I did not do anything deliberately to turn the code on to make some of the comments display page numbers and others no to. I have tried Shift + F9 on the comments not displaying the page number however it has not worked. Appreciate advice on how to include the page number before each comment when I print the comments page out.

    - grid in WORD I am not sure which group is more appropriate, so I'll post it here and in the doc management group: I teach mathematics. I type my math tests on WORD 97 (I use it in conjunction with MATh Type). Is there a way to incorporate a small grid on my tests (for graphing problems)? I know on the bottom of the screen if I click on Draw I can then choose grid and it asks for some settings. But I don't know how to put a grid in my document and I can't seem to find it in the Help Index. Currently, I made a grid on a MS WORKS spreadsheet and I can copy and paste, but I would like to do it in WORD. (I can also create one in Geometer's Sketchpad and do the same) Any ideas?

    - Keep a form from changing when filling in the blanks I have developed several tables on one page to use as a report sheet on my unit in a hospital. I have saved it on a floppy disk.

ActiveX controls are not the best way to do this in most cases. You would be
better off using an AutoTextList field (if this is not to be a protected
form) or a dropdown list form field (in a protected form). For information
on AutoTextList fields, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm. For information on
protected forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
