    - Indexing Problem I have a .txt file - it is a book. I have another file - it is a list of keywords I want to index in the book. The keyword can have a few words separated by space. All keywords are sorted in descending order - there are no duplicates. Here is my problem: If a keyword is "book" and another is keyword "book about VBA" - because the keywords are sorted by descending order, first in the file will be "book about VBA" and will be indexed. Then "book" comes and indexes "book about VBA". How to tell VBA not to index words that are already indexed, that means do not index the word "book" in "book about VBA". Thanks, Zalek Here is my code: Sub CreateIndex() Dim quote As String Dim Keyword As String Dim i As Integer Dim j As Integer quote = """" Dim found_key As Boolean Dim startSearch As Long Dim endSearch As Long Close #1 Open "C:\boss_info_index.txt" For Input As #1 i = 0 j = 0 Do While Not EOF(1) ' Loop until end of file. Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content endSearch = myRange.End Input #1, Keyword j = 0 i = i + 1 ' this is for debugging purpose If i > 500 Then myRange.Italic = True Exit Do End If While myRange.Find.Execute(FindText:=Keyword, Forward:=True) myRange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Set myIndexEntry = myRange.Fields.Add(myRange, Type:=wdFieldIndexEntry, _ Text:=quote & Keyword & quote) startSearch = myRange.End startSearch = startSearch + 32 myRange.Start = startSearch myRange.End = endSearch ' this is for debugging purpose j = j + 1 If j > 300 Then myRange.Bold = True Exit Sub End If Wend Loop Close #1 ' Close file.

    - Filling in form fields Hi! I'm currently trying to fill in a form created in Word that's from a gov't online site. One of the fields is about 15 lines long in an area which would obviously require answers much longer. When I fill in the form any lines that go beyond the field window don't print, they're hidden behind the form. How do I get the field to expand so that I can add in more than 15 lines of text?

    - Styles (numbered list) keeps changing ! Hi, In a DOC, I have these numbered list. My first list uses a numbered list (say from 1 to 6). I then have some normal text that follows and then another numbered list. The 2nd list I want should be numbered also from 1 to 6 or 7. ? Word Automatically starts this list at 7. I then go to the first number and click re-start numbering. It does that but indents to the left the first number.......!!!!!!! I then go and take the brush icon to copy the style of the first list to modify the style (which it does) but then the first number goes back to 7 ! MAd MAD MAD! Word is terrible for this! My numbered style is not set to automatically update... What am I doing wrong? Thanks, L. Tag: How do i format a text box to only accept numbers in phone book st Tag: 80691

    - Header/Footer Area Not Seen Foolish question, but I can't seem to sort it and it's annoyning. My normal viw is page layout. Normally, the header and footer areas of pages always appeared when I opened a doc. Recently, I've just seen the text area -- no header/footer. When I go to View>header/footer I see the header and footer areas and can edit them. Close header/footer, and they remain in view, grayed out as normal. Save doc. Reopen doc. No header footer.

    - Word 2003 - Markup I have a document that every time I open it up, it opens in MARKUP view. It is easy to turn off the markup view and continue to work and then to save the document. The issue is that the next time I go to the document to open it, it opens up again in MARKUP view. This is not a terrible issue for me, but if I send the document to someone and they open it up, they get the MARKUP view too!!! Is there a way I can stop the document oopening up in MARKUP view?

    - Header in Template doesn't show I installed Office 2003 in my desktop and set up a template for a letterhead in a header. I just installed 2003 on my laptop and put the letterhead.dot file from the desktop in the appropriate folder on the laptop. On the desktop, when I File/New and choose the letterhead template, it shows the header. It does not do that on the laptop. To see the header I have to View/Header and Footer to have it appear on the screen. It is the same template on both machines so there must be a setting in Word somewhere that will automatically display the header without having to use View. Will someone please tell me how to go about getting the header to display automatically? I've Googled the problem and consulted Word Help but can't find the answer. Thank you very much.

    - how to let everyone access a custom label??? Hi. I've got a Document A on the server. I print lables from it from Person A account. I've produced a custom lable with the Person A account to print out lables. When Person B signs on to the computer and opens up Document A on the server, Person B cannot use the custom lablel that Person A has made. Question: How can I have users share a custom made label template so they all can see it? For example I go to tools-letters and mailings-envelopes and lables- , click on the Lables tab and adjust the margins on theAvery 5160 address label and save it with a custom name. I can see it of course, but how can I have that show up as custom in everyone's account without logging onto everyone's account individually to set that up? Hopefully I was clear. Thanks. Bryce.

    - Formatting of text problem - Help needed with Style Sheets & Search and Replace Hiya I'm just totally stumped at this one. I have a text document from an online form (see below), and I'm trying to format each section individually to a seperate style using the search and replace command. The text will be exactly like this. FORM START Name : Blah Area : Blah 2 Region : Blah 3 PDS1: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ajjjj jkfgj kdfjgkd fjkjfgkd fjgkdf jgkjkfdj kjfd dsf dsgfsdgdg dsg sdg sdgs sdg sdgs sdg ds sdg sdfg sdgsgsg gsgdsggs sdgsdgs sdgsdgsg sdgsg sdgsd sdgsdgs sd sdg sdgsdgsg sdgsdg sdgsdgsdg -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact name & tel: Blah4 PCE : 82834 STRP : NEW CODE : 54321 FORM END The data will change every time but the fieldnames (Name, Area, Region etc) will stay the same. So one form might be Name : Blah and the next time Name : Halb and so on. I want to be able to change each line to a seperate Style using the search and replace command. I'm trying to do a search saying : Replace "Name : " with "Name : " with a new style sheet selected. Obviously doing a search and replace for "Name : Blah" would be pointless as it's going to change every new form. Now every time I do this the entire document changes to the new style, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking that every *section* of the data above has a different style sheet, so "Name : Blah" would be Style 1. "Area : Blah2" would be Style 2, "Region : Blah3" would be Style 3 and so on. Is there *anyway* of doing this. I would be pulling my hair out if I had any left, so can anyone please help.

If this is a form field, set the field as a number and enter the mask
exactly as you have it in the number layout box.
Don't use text boxes, use frames or table cells.
