    - Updating text from one textbox to another-How? Hi Is there some way to automatically update text written in one textbox to another? Within the same document I wish to create a number of individual text boxes such that when I type in any one of them the same text will also be automatically placed in a combined 'master' textbox. I do this now by copying and pasting.I found out how to make text "spill over" from one textbox to another (when the first one is full) but this is not what I want.

    - Template locations - Word 2003 OS XP Pro Not really a new user but transitioning from 2000 to 2003. 2003 Help says that if you put a template in the Templates folder, it will be an item in the General tab, and that if you create a daughter folder in Templates a separate tab will be created.

    - 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.

    - 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. Thanks for listening JD Tag: what is microsoft visual basic Tag: 80624
