    - Wd2003:AutoExit Macro Doesn't Restore Menu Items Customized by Aut I use a customized word 2003 template. In the AutoNew macro, I'm saving the commandbar settings in registry, deleting all commmandbars and creating some customized command bars. When the application is closed, the commandbar settings saved in the registry has to restored. I do it in the AutoExit macro. Apparently, this is not working. (This was early in Word 97. It was working fine.) When the AutoExit function is called, the commandbars are being reinstated, but once the word exit and I open word again, they are not gone. For word 2000, microsoft have given the solution as to open the normal template and make the menu changes and save it. But this is not working in this case.

    - Removing trailing carriage returns in Word VBA? Okay, so I've got a macro that's supposed to concatenate a bunch of documents together, separated by exactly one blank line. The thing is, I can't count on any specific number of blank lines at the end of each source document that I'm concatenating. It would be nice if, after I append each document to my master document, I could remove all trailing carriage returns from the master document, so that I'll know exactly where I am and how many blank lines I'm going to have after each append. I've scoured the books and newsgroups, and I haven't found a way to do this. It seems simple enough, so maybe it's just my brain shorting out after a long day. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would vastly appreciate it. ~ Steve Tag: Accessing the "Printed Watermark" dialog in XP/2003 Tag: 61556

    - HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Hello all, Would anyone have any suggestions on this? When I start at the very end of each line preceding each of the (2) examples below, there is (1) chr(13) for a paragraph mark and (2) chr(9) for a tab mark. But on line one, you only go to the beginning of the line and with line 2 you go over to the Tab2 position. I am guessing that the tab must have some kind of properties that tells Word to go over to the tab2 position, but darn if I know what it is. If anyone could offer any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!

    - Letting others use routines I've written My VBA programming has always been only for myself, up to now. But I've created a document conversion program that is needed by others, and I cannot get it to work on their computers. I copied the template to a network drive, then copied from there to Word's Templates directory on a co-worker's computer. Then I attached it to the document that he wanted to convert, but when I bring up the Macros dialog, the list of macros is blank, even when I specify the template name in the "Macros in" box. So there's something I'm missing about the VB environment. Also, it would be nice if, on other machines, users did not have to first attach the template to the document before using it. Any help appreciated. Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com Tag: Accessing the "Printed Watermark" dialog in XP/2003 Tag: 61520

    - Forms - Protecting Sections Hello all, I have created a Word 97 form which is basically in 2 parts. The first section contains numerous fixed fields and drop down boxes and this section is protected. The second section is an area for freeformat text and so is unprotected. Within the form I have a Macro which when activated copies sections 1 and 2 and creates sections 3 and 4 the first time, 5 and 6 the second time, etc. After the Macro has run I need to reprotect all odd numbered sections and leave all even numbered sections available for freeformat text. Is there any way to do this? ActiveDocument.Sections(all odd numbered sections).ProtectedForForms = True ActiveDocument.Sections(all even numbered sections).ProtectedForForms = False ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="", NoReset:=True, Type:= _ wdAllowOnlyFormFields Grateful for any assistance.

    - Word template only works on one PC I have a Word 97 template file (i.e. .DOT file) that is on a particular PC in our office. The template uses VBA to connect to an Access database (located on a server share) and creates a document based upon some data. When I simply move the particular .DOT file to any other PC and try to create a new file using that template, part of the code fails. When I launch the VBA editor for the template file on the working PC there are several items that I can see that I cannot see when I launch the VBA editor for the template on any other PC: 1) A Modules node under the Normal node that has two modules in it. I can click on these and examine the code. 2) Three additional TemplateProject folders. Although, when I try to view the code for these TemplateProject folders I get a dialog box that says "Project is unviewable". I can tell, based upon the name of one of the TemplateProject folders, that the template VBA code fails (it's a call to WordBasic.Call) on every other PC because these TemplateProject folders (as well as the aforementioned Modules) don't seem to exist on those PCs. So, my basic question is why can I see these VBA project elements on the working PC, but not on any other PCs? I assume there must be some files and/or environment settings on the working PC. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Accessing the "Printed Watermark" dialog in XP/2003 Tag: 61485

    - speed up vba I use a small vba routine to create new documents. the macro opens an empty document and then adds a few objects (e.g. logo image, header and footer text boxes, etc). some text may also be added. This whole procedure takes about 10 sec, which i find very long time for just the few thing to do. A simular procedure in PowerPoint runs in less than 1 sec!

    - Word and Internet Server documents. Hi, Some time ago, I asked a question concerning slow response when opening a Word document from an Internet server for the first time. All subsequent Word document openings were pretty quick. Someone responded, in very technical language, about SOEs and XCOPY to "prime" the network and caching. However, despite my gentle prodding, he did not elucidate, or distance himself from the abstract or the deeply technical. However, he did raise my hopes that there might be a solution. So here, below, I present my problem, in the hope that someone can be more specific about a solution. ---- I have an ASP page which generates a XML (wrapped in HTLM) file which represents a Word document. Then, from the client side of the Internet connection, I open this newly created document using Word. When first this process runs, following a machine re-boot, it can take up to a minute to complete. Thereafter, it takes 3 seconds. The Word command is something like : Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set doc = objWord.Documents.Open(http://localhost.service/document.doc) ------ Is it true that the network and caching needs priming? If so, does anyone know how to "prime" such, or know of any Web pages that might tell me how. I'm using IIS, under XP, and Word 2000.

    - Inserting AutoText in Header adds extra paragraph marks I am trying to insert AutoText into Headers in my document. I carefully selected just what is needed to create the autotext, but when I insert the autotext into the header it adds an extra paragraph mark (the mirrored 'P'). This cause problems because all my document gets reflowed. Can somebody please help me figure out how I can either delete the paragraph marks or have them not be inserted in there in the first place please? My current code to insert the autotext is the following ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries _ ("myAutoText").Insert _ Where:=ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Headers _ wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range, _ RichText:=True the 'i' is the index for the loop that goes through all my sections. I have also tried to add a delete line before that command but that didnt help either. I used ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Header _ (wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Delete I have checked and rechecked and as far as I can see my autotext (which includes its style) does not have the extra paragraph marks. How can I avoid these marks in the first place or how can I convert the following code to work inside the ranges?

    - Comments in word 2003 and changes Hi, I have a hard time using the "comments" feature in 2003 which I find very confusing compared to the way Word 97 handles them. I have created a macro that mimics the Insert Comments from Word 97 which works ok. I am stumped trying to reproduce, even approximately, Word 97 feature with regards to View Comments, which was straighforward. I find the Markup feature particularly annoying. I wwould like to see the comments in the View menu in a normal display and be able to delete them from there, which presupposes that, as in Word 97, the corresponding initials appear in a visible manner in the text. Likewise with regards to accepting or refusing changes, the new interface is much less convenient (IMHO). Any way the Word 97 behavior could be mimicked? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- John Doue Tag: Accessing the "Printed Watermark" dialog in XP/2003 Tag: 61430

Hello All
Is it at all possible to do a .Show directly to the watermark dialog you get
to via the menu system clicks of Format -> Background -> Printed Watermark.
We use this watermark dialog a lot and would like to bypass all the menu
clicks.
Here's hoping

Hi Trevor,

Since Microsoft hasn't seen fit to add that dialog to the Dialogs collection
that's accessible from VBA, the best you can do is a SendKeys that simulates
entering the menu selection keystrokes:

Sub DialogWatermark()
SendKeys "%okw"
End Sub

Assign a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to the macro.

Hi Trevor,

Go to Tools Customize. With the Customize dialog open, go to Format,
Background, Printed Watermark, Hold down the Ctrl key and then click the
item & drag it to any toolbar you want it to be available on.

Now that you are aware that it is possible to customize toolbars, you might
