    - search only the words within a selection Hi, Does anybody know how to search for a certain word in a specific selection/highlighted text/paragraph of a document only? I have tried recording a macro but I was not able to get what I want. The following code will highlight the paragraph/portion where the enclosing bookmark is located. In that highlighted/selected area, the macro will search for the word "hello". I only want the macro to find those which are only within the selection. I know this is possible when using the Search & Replace Dialog box but I can't make it run on macro. Below is my sample code.I can't figure out what's missing. I am using Word 2003. Thanks. Sub LinkTest() Dim a As String Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="tmp" With Selection.Find .text = "hello" End With Do a = Selection.Find.Execute If a = True Then MsgBox (Selection.text) End If Loop While a = True End Sub Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112384

    - retrieve data back to userform Hi, I have a problem with bookmarks. I have a userform called "New application form" made up for a template .dot. In the word, i have insert bookmarks that correspond to the text fields in the userform. So, when user finishes filling out the fields and hit "OK" button, all the data are put into bookmarks. However, what i'm trying to do now is to be able to retrieve all those data back from bookmarks to the form. I know the code to retrieve values from bookmarks to textfields in the userform. The reason for this is to allow user to edit some of the data through the form. (don't know if by doing this, i have made my life more difficult). Anyway, i created another userform called "Editing application form" and a Edit button (use macro). So when user clicks on this button, it brings up the "Editing application form" with all the data in their appropriate text fields. The problem here is When user hits "Edit now" button, i got error message saying "The requested member of the collection doesn't exist". When i checked the bookmarks, those bookmarks are not there. I believe this is because they are not entered in the first place during the creation of the new application form. (something new i learn again today) so is there any other ways that i could use apart from bookmarks and still helps resolve my issue? Thank you in advance Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112380

    - next page - section break / insert file A 2 prong question: I have a protected template which has 4 different check boxes. If a check box is checked, I need to insert a section break/next page AFTER the page. Once I have inserted the break, I then need to insert a file (document) from our network drive. This example, I could insert 4 different files to my template. Not sure how to code appropriately to add the section break or to insert file. Any help would be appreciated.

    - page counting macro works one day, but not the next In a previous post, I asked about methods for linking separate files into a single document with a single TOC. I was directed away from using Master documents, and towards using the {RD \f} feature. This appears to work just fine. I insert the bracket(s), type in the file name(s), generate the TOC. Of course each file starts page numbering at 1. From this point, it was a short jump to using a macro created to count the number of pages in a document and key off of that. I did not devlope this macro but am using the one provided in the article http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=148 Here's my problem. It works great, at first. I open and close the main document, happily add more documents, generate a new TOC, update the page numbers, save, close, open, etc. Then I go home for the day. The next day, when I try to run the macro (yes, I enabled macros upon opening the document), having made no changes in any of the documents, the macro won't run. It hangs up on the first document with the following: Runtime error '5174' file could not be found check spelling, try different file name, etc File names did not change from the previous day. Removing the first file from the {RD} list doesn't solve the problem. The debugger doesn't help at all, showing a stop at this line in the macro: Set oDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strCode) If I remove all the RD coding, and start over, it all works again, until the next day, when the whole error cycle begins again. Whats going on and how do I fix it? Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112354

    - Probleam with page numbering Hi again all. I have hit a bit of a wall here and need some help please. I am writing a multi chapter manual. The layout of the document dictates that the first chapter is Chapter 0 and it then continues normally from there. That part is fine. Where I am running into problems is inserting the chapter number then page number into the header. The TOC must have section then page number (eg: 0-1......3-23 etc). The prog is not letting me change the chapter # for the first chapter (in the header). It will not let me select 0 but starts from 1. Is there any way to sort that out without having to renumber the chapters to start with 1? Thanks in advance. Dominic Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112351

    - Path for utilities We've added commands to our Word menus to let the writers open our (HTML) style guide and the MW dictionary. I path the style guide to a location on our LAN. The dictionary commands are created on installing the MW dictionary, but I control the command and toolbar button locations in our menus and toolbars. Now I'm sending my global add-ins to remote offices. The remote writers don't have access to our servers (or LAN) and they may have a different dictionary installed. I'm thinking it would be better to code my VBA to use a Word path, like those available on Tools > Options > File Locations. Maybe Options.DefaultFilePath(wdToolsPath). The users could arrange to put a copy of the style guide in that path, and a shortcut or copy of the dictionary EXE in that path. What do you think? Is this a reasonable strategy? Is there a better path to use? Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112343

    - Vertical Scroll bar not operable in a Word form Hi, I have a simple User Form in Word that is sent to multiple users to collect information. Due to the display resolution settings, some of the users are able to see the form in its entirety they are unable to see the bottom portion of the form. I went to the form's property after opening the form in VBA mode and set the "Scrollbars" property to "2 - frmscrollbarsvertical." This shows the vertical scroll on the right side of the screen, but I am unable to use it and move up and down on the form (there is no scroll drag in that scroll screen). What am I doing wrong? / How can I correct this behavior? Thank you for your time. Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112341

    - issue with filedialog browser Hi, I have a question. I've a userform that has a textfield. Next to it, there is a button with caption "Browse". I was thinking that when user wants to insert a picture, he/she clicks on "browse" that will bring up a filedialog box for user to select which image file they want to insert to the document. Once, they have chosen the file, the filepath will be captured and shown in the textfield that is next to it. After user has filled out all the text fields in the userform and press "ok" button, all the user data will be dumped to the word document. I use bookmark to do this. So, getting back to my question. i have a bookmark in the word document. I was hoping, the image will be placed where the bookmark for the image is in the word document. I use the following code to bring up the filedialog but couldn't retrieve the filepath to the textfield. Instead, it actually opens up the file. Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show I have tried to use the following codes Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog( _ FileDialogType:=msoFileDialogOpen) but got error message saying "invalid property". I have done this before in excel but the codes below doesn't work well with word. filein = Application.GetOpenFilename() Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    - issue with opening a file Hi, I have a question i need to ask of you MVP experts. Say, i have a several customised templates dot files e.g. our company Letter template, Fax template, and so on. Each of these templates have a userform (macro - autonew) that would be called up as soon as a user opens up the template My question is if i have a customised toolbar that has buttons for each of these templates in the normal.dot. So when user opens up a word document, he/she will find the toolbar. On the dropdown list, there are "Company Letter", "Company Fax", "Company Report". When they click on Company Letter, it brings up the Letter doc with the userform pops up waiting for user inputs. That's the idea. Today, i tried to do that but it actually opens up the template Letter.dot. Hence, there is no userform showing up. This is not what i anticipated. Here is my code for testing purpose only Sub Macro1() Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Documents and Settings\myComp\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Company Letter.dot", ReadOnly:=True End Sub I might have used the wrong code here for opening a file. Your ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112310

    - Excel (VBA) 2007 workbook in 2003 - available resources?? I have created from scratch a new main workbook and several 'satellite' dynamically populated/'built' report templates - in 2007 (as, 2003 to 2007 seemed to fraught with danger). All runs well, I have saved versions of the 2007 workbooks as 97-2003 workbooks with a couple of compatability 'fixes' around colour formats and shape formats. In 2003, I can run these (both the master workbook and the report templates )independantly and all works fine. But - if I call the report via the parameter selection main workbook reporting FORM - the report is found, opened, parameters populated, list boxes filled and report dynamically structured - all well. THe code then seeks to return to the main workbook to wrap up there - - and, alas, XL either falls over OR I get the following message (ad-infinitum): "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." Note - if the report is already open - and NOT opened via the procedure - then, all is fine again - however, that's not really sustainable - to open all report templates first...but - even though there ARE not links, is there some silly order of opening issue here? ----any ideas?? There ARE pictures and shapes and activeX combo boxes on the report template. The main workbook has pictures, shapes (acting as buttons), forms galore. I've already found that using a 'shape' in 2007 to close a workbook is dangerous and use activeX controls for that. I'm just a tad nervous about this whole 2003/2007 thing.

    - normal.dot locked? I'm using Word 2003. I have a document created, for which I created a macro that I saved. It runs fine. When I try to go to Tools | Macros and select the new macro and click Edit, it tells me "Project is Unviewable". If I go to Tools | Macros | Visual Basic Editor and right-click on "Normal" and select properties, it tells me the same thing. Additional info - I had wanted to eliminate the warning I got about embedded macros, so I used Digital Signing, creating my own digital signature using "Digital Signature for VBA Projects". Note that with respect to Digital Signing, VBA macros within word, I know just enough to get myself into serious trouble, and not much more. Anyway, I suspect I've dug myself a hole, and I'm trying to figure out how to get out. How do I fix my Normal.dot, and how do I fix things up so I can go back and edit this macro that I created?

    - Spellchecking a Protected Document This seems to be a popular topic lately, so I thought I'd chime in as well. While the article at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm is great if you want to check the spelling of the information input into formfields, my problem is a bit different. I have (Word 2003) templates that produce forms-protected documents, but the documents themselves don't contain any formfields. I use forms protection only because it allows me to protect only certain sections of the document, such as the header and footer, while leaving other sections, such as the main body of the document unprotected. The spellchecker checks the spelling in the unprotected sections OK, and I don't really mind if it doesn't check the spelling in the protected sections because 1) I know that I haven't made any spelling errors in the 'boilerplate' in these sections; and 2) if the user has made a spelling error in the 'variable' information, they can just rerun the code in template to correct the errors. However, there is a deficiency in the native spellchecker that I've been asked to develop a workaround for. In an unprotected document, if none of the choices in the 'Suggestions' list are viable, you can just type in the 'Not in Dictionary' box to make the change. However, this doesn't work in a protected document; the text in the 'Not in Dictionary' box is treated like it's in a protected section. I could always write code that unprotects the document before displaying the spellchecker, but there are a couple of drawbacks: First, this will allow the users to spellcheck the protected sections as well, which is not really a major problem except that if the user corrects an error that was introduced through the input of the 'variable' information described above, this correction won't get replicated back into the data from the UserForm. Thus if the user reruns the template, the correction won't be there and the error could be reintroduced without the user realising it. However, I can live with this. The real problem is that the spellchecker dialog isn't modal to Word. Therefore, if I unprotect the document, the user now has full access to the whole document, _including_ the protected sections. And believe me, the users will take advantage of this whenever possible; I learned this when I told the users I was going to fix a bug in my code that left the document unprotected and got a... umm... less than favourable response. ;-D Does anyone know a way to enable the editing capability in the 'Not in Dictionary' box without unprotecting the document? Or will my users just have to live with this limitation? (The second choice is acceptable as I'm quite happy to tell the users 'No' - as long as I can justify the response.) -- Cheers!

    - Sharing Arrays Between Modules In an earlier post, Jean-Guy Marcil provided me with some excellent instruction on structuring projects to separate UserForm-related processes from document-related processes. (Thanks again, Jean-Guy!) I'm now trying to apply this structure to a somewhat more complex project and have run into a problem straight away. In this new project, I use arrays to collect sets of similar information (e.g. the names and addresses of multiple parties to a contract). These arrays all reside in the UserForm class module, since they are obviously integral to the processes related to the UserForm; i.e. UserForm operations are used to create and maintain the arrays, and the arrays are used to display information in the UserForm. However, I cannot find a way to take the information in these arrays and transfer it back into the 'operational' class module that is used to perform the actual document-creation processes. UserForm controls (and the values contained therein) are simple enough to access and variables can be declared as Public and then just become a 'pseudo-attribute' of the UserForm object, but arrays cannot be Public. For obvious reasons, I don't want to dynamically create a heap of Public variables to dump the contents of the arrays into and then rebuild the arrays on the 'operational' side, and doing something like grabbing the contents of the ListBoxes that are used to display and maintain the arrays on the UserForm and then attempting to parse this information scares the daylights out of me. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to share contents of an array between two modules? -- Cheers!

    - Fetching data in Excel from Word Hello, I have a Word document. I have in an Excel file with thousands of IP adresses and other similar type of information. In the word document, I have to create a chapter for each physical servers (a lot). In each chapter, a table display the IP configuration of the sever as well as virtualized servers inside it (a lot more) These information are randomy defined in the Excel file. What is the best way to do that ? I'd like to have a button in the word document which call a macro. This macro would open the Excel document and lookup the IP information based on the server name. Then, it would update tags or fields or variables that I would insert here and there in the word document. The goal here is to avoid regrouping & copying by hand thousands of IP adresses, which is prone to mistakes. Moreover, whenever the IP adresses are updated in the Excel file, I would run the macro to update the word document. Any good idea ? I know how to do a macro in Excel, but never did one in word. My main problem is how to create a "field" or a "variable" in the text (generally in -but not restricted to- a table) that my macro would recognise in the word document and update it ?

    - Word 2003 custom Menus change and disappear Does anyone have a fool proof method for stabilizing custom menus (on the menu bar) in Word? I have a menu in a global template that should always show, as well as document templates that each contain a menu I want to appear only when someone is in a document created from that template. The problem SEEMS to stem from OTHER people's software -- the menus will be there but then they disappear, or multiple copies appear or the menu is suddenly empty or has the name for one menu with choices for another menu on it. Note: Custom TOOLBARS seem stable, it is just the MENU that is problematic. I have been fighting this for years and have done a lot of research but so far everything I try has a hiccup at some point. The programming is all VBA in Word .dot templates. So far I have tried: - Using tools, customize to create the menus w/in the appropriate templates -- works great on my computer, but menus disappear/duplicate constantly on about 80% of my clients. - Programmatically creating the menus -- this is good for the global template menu -- at first -- but somewhere through the day it gets trashed. I can't get the template specific menus to behave. They constantly disappear. - Write an event handler to delete and then recreate all menus and display as (Tried with the "Document change" or "WIndow Activate" event for the Word application) -- this seemed to work at first but suddenly the problems returned. I did not want to just "show" the menus per the event handler because they would suddenly have the wrong buttons or be empty part way through the day. (Maybe I am not writing it right.) Has anyone else had this struggle? It happens to me so much I am surprised I can't find more postings about it. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Thanks so much. Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112256

    - OrganizerCopy Error Dialog Problem When using OrganizerCopy, if the style name is not found in the source document, Word returns an error dialog. In a VBA application, is there anyway to suppress this dialog and let the code continue without the user having to click OK? The sample code. The dialog after the gSourceWordApp.OrganizerCopy call but before the If Err.Number = 4198 Then line. On Error Resume Next Dim styleName As String styleName = "corporateNameStyle" gSourceWordApp.OrganizerCopy Source:=sourceDocument.FindInFileName, _ Destination:=indexWordDocument.FullName, _ Name:=styleName, _ object:=wdOrganizerObjectStyles If Err.Number = 4198 Then gSourceWordApp.OrganizerCopy Source:=sourceDocument.FindInFileName, _ Destination:=indexWordDocument.FullName, _ Name:="Normal", _ object:=wdOrganizerObjectStyles End If Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112253

    - Comparing Word documents I inherited some Word VBA code to format a report based on rtf output from DOORS. I made some changes to the VBA to improve performance (it used to run for more than hour) and now I would like to compare the Word document produced from the latest version with a Word document produced from the previous version of the Word VBA macros. I am running Microsoft Office Word 2003. I opened the more recent copy, and then: 1. pulled down Tools-->Compare and Merge documents... 2. checked the "Legal Blackline" checkbox 3. selected the baseline word document produced under the old macro set 4. clicked on "Compare" The only differences that showed up was that every row of the main table is black-barred with (on each page) a change box pointing at the header saying "Formatted Table". When I move my mouse over the "Formatted Table" change box it says "Author formatted Table:" Any clue what this is trying to tell me? The contents look fine otherwise. --Thank you, --Mike Jr. Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112251

    - if bookmark.Exist (Left("nut", 3) Hi all I am hoping to use VBA to check if a document has a bookmark starting with a particular string. I thought I could use LEFT to check if it exists but it does not pick up the bookmark. Checking if bookmark exits works perfectly when not using LEFT Ive tried: If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists(Left("_BD", 3)) = True Then msgbox "Yes its here" end if I found that looping through the document works but I do want to search for each bookmark eg: Dim myBM As Bookmark For Each myBM In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists(myBM.Name) And Left(myBM.Name, 3) = "_BD" then do this End If Next myBM Any ideas?

    - MACRO TO TOGGLE FONT ON AND OFF I have document that uses a particular font (usually no more than a few characters in length) in numerous places throughout.

    - Setting a Range Can someone tell me how to set a range for the last section of a document? Or as an alternative how to set the range to the section where the cursor is? Specifically what I need to do is set the last section as a range so I can make some modifications. First I need to delete the last two rows from a table in that section (there are two tables, and I need to delete rows 3 and 4 from the second table). Then I need to search for a text string, and insert some text in front of the original text. Thanks for any help. Tag: ASCII Dos Text Tag: 112222

    - Change font Colour/Color I have a template document on which I want to be able to change lightblue to black after drafting the document. I have the following code in my macro at the moment and it works ok I just wondered if there was a more efficient way of writing it that I haven't thought of or if I should do some error checking on it as well.

    - PLEASE respond ASAP Hi there, It's a crazy problem i'm facing. I have to work on many documents and there will be a footer kind of note, same note I have to keep in each document but the page is not the same. For example, there is a word "xyz" and we dont know in the document where it comes, when it appears there should be a footnote in the first instance of the document. If it comes in the second page of one document, it comes on someother page in other document. SO I thought of recording a macro as the text is same for all. Now it is working, when I say run it appears BUT IN ALL PAGES OF THE DOCUMENT whereas I require only in the active page, that is the page where I am working and is needed. I mean, when I go to a particular page and run the macro, it should come only on that particular page and not the entire document. How can I edit the code to do that? Where and what should add inside the coding to write the text in particular page. Otherwise, everytime I have to either open or keep open the other document, copy and paste. I thought of a simple macro but it is becoming complicated. Sorry for a big explanation, I just want to make clear. Thanks in advance for your valuable time and solutions. But please respond asap.

I have a file that is generated from our accounting program and is saved as
an ASCII Dos Text file.

I need to use vba coding that tells Word to open it as an ASCII Dos Text
file. There are two different special characters in the txt file which
separates the fields and ends the records. When Word opens the txt file,
those characters import as just squares with no way to distinguish between
the end fields and the end records.

Hi Brenda,

you don't need special code to open a txt-file.

Documents.Add "c:\test\wh.txt"

is all you need.

To find out about the squares, select them and use
this code to find out, what characters they are.

Msgbox Asc(selection.text)

You *may* find that the old Text with Layout converter, which you can
download from my web site will work (you need to ensure Word > Tools >
Options > General > Confirm conversion at open is checked in order to prompt
you to select that filter).

If that doesn't fix it, can you e-mail me a sample of the output to the link
on my web site so that we can see what we are dealing with.
