    - Macro that Prompts user to print. Hey All. I have made a document that has 8 (eight) labels to ONE page. Th document is divided into 4 rows by 2 coloumns. Each label goes into cell of its own I have made 7 macros so that a user can choose to print any amount o labels from 1-8 by just pressing any of the short cut keys The first macro is shift+F7 which would delete one of the first label and then print the other 7 The second macro is shift+F6 which would delte the first two label and continue to print the other 6. And so on.. This is all well and good. If a user wants to print 8, he needs to d nothing but print the document as it is, because it is at default, labels The challenge lies where I want a user to get a prompt when they pres print, whcih would have a box appear and say "how many would you like to print? the user then could input the amount they wish to print and the macr automatically interprets that amount and prints that exact amount So if a user wanted to print 9 labels, it would print ONE full shee of 8 and then on another sheet, it shall only print 1 Is there anyone out there that can do this? If you need more info t make the situation clear, just let me know. Thank You Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67492

    - autotext and tables I use a form to insert autotext into a doc. This particular autotext is in tabular format. My problem is that some of the rows when inserted will span multiple pages and the next row down will start after. (Which is a good thing) However some of the rows, when inserted will span multiple pages and then force a page break before the next row starts. I hope the above makes sense. Any ideas on how I can force the rows/cells to stay together? Whether it be some clean-up code or on insertion into the doc. Thanks, Dave Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67461

    - Storing Child word documents inside Master documents using Word's document objects. Hi All, I am trying to store a word(Child) document inside another word document (Master) in such a way that the Child document can't be seen when the Master is opened (Master and Child will be inside a single file). By default, when the document is opened, the Master document is shown. The Child will be shown when I click my Active X's "show child document" menu item. To achieve this I tried to store the Child document inside my ActiveX but quickly found that I can't store more than approx 200KB (I may be wrong in the exact size) of Child document. I then tried to store the Child document inside Document variable of Master Doc. The Document variable is hidden so seemed OK. I broke my Child document in chunks of 100 KB and stored in recognizable Document variables of Master document Object. So far so good. I tried this on Windows 2000 Server with Office 2003 and it worked but on Windows XP after creating 2 such Document variables containing the Child documents it started giving strange data e.g. If the Child document size is 60 KB whle storing, on retrieving I get 100 KB!! which then crashes by application while checking. This is only happening in Windows XP Home Edition and Professional. Now questions; 1) Is there any other way to store word document inside a word document programmatically ? 2) Any reason why is it failing to give me the correct data? 3) On programmaticall removal of the document variables, the size of the Master document remains the same, why ? Thanks for reading.. Regards, Wahaj Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67409

    - Deleting text in bookmarks very slow... Hello, I've run into a problem in my C# add-in for Word. One of the operations that the add-in has to do is going over all = bookmarks in a document and removing the bookmarks and its content if = certain conditions are true. Originally, I tried the following: bookmark.Range.Text =3D ""; Unfortunately, it did not work correctly in all cases (for example, if = the bookmark spanned table cells). So I used the following: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range range =3D bookmark.Range; bookmark.Delete(); range.Delete(ref missing, ref missing); when "missing" was initialized thus: object missing =3D System.Reflection.Type.Missing; That works correctly but, according to the profiler, is 4-5 times = slower! Since this operation is performed in a tight loop, on a document with a = lot of bookmarks that need to be deleted, this slowdown is VERY = noticeable. The breakdown of the timing between the 3 lines is roughly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range range =3D bookmark.Range; // = 3.6% bookmark.Delete(); // 13.8% range.Delete(ref missing, ref missing); // 82.6% So the culprit is the range.Delete() operation. I really need to speed this up! Any help is appreciated.

    - setting ExitMacro (to template) Okay, get a load of this: I am trying to check code using an attached template, and after I perfect the code, make the attached template a workgroup template. I hope that's proper. So, I name the template "Forms.dot" and make it an attached template. (When "Forms.dot" is my "Normal.dot", the code works perfectly.) Now, as an attached template (with a blank Normal.dot), the code errors out at the following code: ActiveDocument.FormFields(4).ExitMacro = "doCopies" "doCopies" is a sub within the attached template "Forms.dot", which is where the code errors. I shouldn't have to refer to the module or project if it's in the same routine, should I? When I halt the code, and manually go to the document, I can manually "see" the sub "doCopies", so it's available, but still my code errors. Anyway, I can't get past this. Can anyone offer some help?

In the template I have attached a schema and added some elements to the doc, one of which is called "FirstName.". What I am trying to do is set the value of the FirstName element to some text. I have tried several techniques such as dim wdApp as New Word.Application dim wdDoc as New Word.Document dim wdTemp = "C:\MyTemplate.dot" dim wdNode as Word.XMLNode wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add(wdTemp) wdNode = wdDoc.SelectSingleNode("/FirstName") wdNode.Text = "Nancy" when I do this, I get error msg 'object reference not set to an instance of an object" telling me that '/FirstName" is not a valid XPath, I think. I then try wdNode = wdDoc.SelectSingleNode("FirstName") wdNode = "Nancy" and get the same error. My question is how can I set the value of an XML element in a doc to a text value at run time? Thanks for your help. Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67355

    - Any way to have Dialog(wdDialogEditReplace) function like interactive Replace Dialog Folks, I want to have the Replace dialog displayed with parameters drawn from a text file in which the lines have the format "Findstring=ReplaceString". E.g., an entry of "1=2" would populate the find field of the dialog with "1" and the replace field with "2". The code below more or less works except that after the user selects "Replace All", the usual prompt indicating that "X replacements have been made" or "Word has finished searching the document" does not appear. Thus, it will be a bit disorienting when using the routine. Am I missing some properties that enable/disable the messages? Thanks, Tom Sub testreadfile() Dim AStr() As String Dim SearchStr As String Dim RplcStr As String Dim FString As String Dim DlgFind As Dialog Dim AString As String On Error Resume Next Set DlgFind = Dialogs(wdDialogEditReplace) FString = "C:\wordmacros\a.txt" Open FString For Input Access Read As #1 While Not EOF(1) Line Input #1, AString If Len(AString) > 0 And Not AString Like "*[=]*" Then MsgBox AString + " is not a valid entry" End If AStr = Split(AString, "=") SearchStr = Trim(AStr(0)) RplcStr = (AStr(1)) With DlgFind .Find = SearchStr .Replace = RplcStr .Show End With Wend Close #1 End Sub Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67354

    - Closing activedocument Hi, We have been using a template for a couple of years without trouble in Word 2000. We've recently upgraded to Word 2003 and the code now produces an error. The template opens a form which has buttons to execute a mail merge with some Outlook contacts. It saves the document with a temporary name to merge the data and print it and then closes the temporary document to go on to the next person. It uses the lines: ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges Now when it encounters the last line it gives the following error: You cannot close MS Office Word because a dialog box is open. Click OK, switch to Word, and then close the dialog box. It seems to not like the dialog box from the original document being open when I close the temporary document. Out of interest I opened the same document on a laptop with Office 2000 and it worked fine again. Any suggestions please? John Tag: Access password makes word mail merge error Tag: 67336

By the way are you opening the database through a macro in word?
