    - Delete a paragraph up to a specific character hi, i am trying to find a way to delete all text/characters in a paragraph up to (and including) the last occurence of a backslash within that paragraph, throughout the document. using the GNU regexp i would select something like "^.*\\" and delete it. so from a paragraph like Subject\heading\section1\part2\topic3 only the following should remain topic3 i tried to get this using search/replace but i failed with the unknown number of characters which are to be replaced and the beginning of the paragraph. please also note that some paragraphs have automatic numbering but i assume that this should not make any difference as the numbers should stay as they are. any help on this is appreciated. cheers, thomas Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109233

    - Need to have form field end up with data generated by macro that is I just had a Word form task dumped on me, which would not be a problem if I had spent a lot of time working with forms in the past. But I haven't. I need to create a form field, run a macro on entry (or exit, if more appropriate), and have the macro results end up in the form field when I'm done. For example, a one line macro that places the result of application.username into the field. Its probably very obvious to most everyone, but right now I'm missing it. thanks in advance david Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109222

    - Searching for exact number of spaces Hello, Is there a way to search for an exact number of "regular" spaces. I want Word to search for 6 spaces. These spaces were caused by blank form fields that were unlinked. The problem that I'm having is that my document also contains 15 and 30 hard spaces that are used to create a spot for handwriting. The find and replace is removing the hard spaces that I want to keep. Thanks. j Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109218

    - How to designate two open docs as different objects? I have two documents open. It would be a royal pain to have to browse for them; I just have the folders open and open the two docs needed. I need to desginate one document as "doc1" and the other as "doc2" (Both are Dim'd As Document objects.) I tried a bit with a UserForm, but culdn't get it to work. So in my code, I Stop the code, which lets me click in a doc, then F5 in the VBE and Stop again to click in the second doc, then F5 again to run. MsgBox "Click in the first document" Stop Set doc1 = ActiveDocument Set rng1 = doc1.Range(Selection.Range.Start, doc1.Content.End) MsgBox "Click in the second document" Stop Set doc2 = ActiveDocument Set rng2 = doc2.Range(Selection.Range.Start, doc2.Content.End) Is there an easier, more seamless way to do this?

    - Modifying a recorded macro in Word 2003 I began a small project that involved the following steps: 1. Copy a large amount of table data from my health insurer's site. 2. Save the table in a text file to get rid of the table formatting. 3. Copy the resulting text to Word where I could use "Find/Replace" editing to remove redundant data and formatting. 4. Record a macro of all the Find/Replace steps for later use on data updates. 5. Copy results (now a list of tab delimited records) back to a text file. 6. Import text file into an Excel worksheet. All this worked fine, except that when I ran the macro from the keyboard I had to keep pressing the shortcut keys as if the macro was being stepped through the several code segments. Not being very accomplished in writing or recording macros, I don't know how to get the macro to run as a single operation without all the keyboard intervention. Can anyone offer a solution or a link to same? Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109207

    - How word is started I would like to know if it is posible to determine if how word has been started. I have been tiraling running word across a network when it normally starts it loads a global template which carries all the sub routines needed to do various things built into forms that are produced. However other programs also use word as as a front end for doucuments they contain within them, but because when the load word it takes an long time because it is loading all the routines etc from the globally loaded template. So here is what I would like to do if posible. if word is opened by one of these other programs other than by the icon word doesnt load the template if however its not opened. I have used the following to determine if open by the icon Sub iconstart() ' 'checks to see how word has been launched ' Dim strCommandLine As String 'get the commandline by calling the CmdLinetoString function, which follows strCommandLine = CmdLinetoString(GetCommandLine()) If Len(strCommandLine) <= Len(Chr(34) & Application.Path & _ "\" & "winword.exe" & Chr(34) & " ") Then 'Following only runs if Word was launched from its icon ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges 'closes document without saving End If 'End If End Sub Public Function CmdLinetoString(ByVal lngPtr As Long) As String Dim strReturn As String Dim StringLength As Long 'get the length of the string (not including the terminating null character) StringLength = lstrlen(lngPtr) 'initialize our string so it has enough characters including the null character strReturn = String$(StringLength + 1, 0) 'copy the string we have a pointer to into our new string lstrcpy strReturn, lngPtr 'now strip off the null character at the end strReturn = Left$(strReturn, StringLength) 'return the string CmdLinetoString = strReturn End Function but is there a way of determining which program has opened word?????

    - Hide and show components Hi : ) I am build some kinda of reports and I have some information I would like to let the user show if he/she want to see or not. If he/she want to see, he/she will click in image component. But I would like to use the 'same' (visually talkin) component to hide the data. This is a sample: Private Sub Image1_Click() Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="interfaces_lista" Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Tables(1).Select With Selection.Tables(1) With .Borders(wdBorderLeft) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With With .Borders(wdBorderRight) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With With .Borders(wdBorderTop) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With With .Borders(wdBorderBottom) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With With .Borders(wdBorderHorizontal) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With With .Borders(wdBorderVertical) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = 14540253 End With .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalDown).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalUp).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders.Shadow = False End With With Options .DefaultBorderLineStyle = wdLineStyleDashSmallGap .DefaultBorderLineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .DefaultBorderColor = 14540253 End With Selection.Tables(1).Rows.Height = CentimetersToPoints(0.6) Selection.Font.Color = wdColorGray80 Selection.Font.Size = 8 Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="interfaces" End Sub So, when I click in the icon, a table shows up with some data, and to 'hide' it, I use: Sub interfaces_compact() Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="interfaces_lista" Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Tables(1).Select With Selection.Tables(1) With .Borders(wdBorderLeft) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With With .Borders(wdBorderRight) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With With .Borders(wdBorderTop) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With With .Borders(wdBorderBottom) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With With .Borders(wdBorderHorizontal) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With With .Borders(wdBorderVertical) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorWhite End With .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalDown).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalUp).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders.Shadow = False End With With Options .DefaultBorderLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .DefaultBorderLineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .DefaultBorderColor = wdColorWhite End With Selection.Tables(1).Rows.Height = CentimetersToPoints(0#) Selection.Font.Color = wdColorWhite Selection.Font.Size = 1 Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="interfaces" End Sub So, there is some way to use the control to show up the table (code 1), and if the table is show and I click in the control again it hides (code 2)? I tried to hide the component... but I didnÂ´t get sucess. Thanks for any info. Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109162

    - Word 2007 Dotm vs. Dot, slow loading of Word Hi, I have a DOT file, it's rather large (3,5MB) but works fine in Word 2003 and Word 2007. The file has lots of functionality, userforms, modules and a custom commandbar and i've already converted it to DOTM (1,5MB) with Custom Ribbon UI instead of the commandbar. The problem is, that the DOTM file ENORMOUSLY slows down Word 2007 startup (the dot-file needs to be in the startup folder). When I just load the old DOT file (exactly the same functionality, but not in the new format) Word 2007 startup speed is fine. But then I cannot have Custom Ribbon UI. Is this a known issue or is there a way to speed up the loading of my DOTM file? I really want to be able to use the Custom Ribbon UI XML. P.S. I know my DOT file maybe should be a real Add-In (VSTO DLL or whatever) but that will not happen soon for many reasons. Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109161

    - Help writing a picture formatting macro Hello, I was wondering if you guys could help me. I am trying to write a macro to format a picture I have pasted into a word document. Unfortunately the wrap to text and advanced functions of the format picture tab are not available when writing a macro. I have seen someone here had the same problem and the following code was posted: With myShape .WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTopBottom .WrapFormat.DistanceTop = InchesToPoints(0.2) .WrapFormat.DistanceBottom = InchesToPoints(0.2) .RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage .Left = wdShapeCenter The thing is my requirements are different to this and now matter how I change the code above I can't get it to work. Can anyone help please? I need the options Wrap type = Square Horizontal Alignment = Other and in the advanced options Absolute position 4.23 from the right of the page Absolute position 0.00 below paragraph. I know this is quite complicated and a big ask - but if anyone can help it would be amazing as i have to format pictures according to this layout about 20 times a day as part of my job and a macro would totally help me out.

    - Protect Form macro errors When I activate the Protect Form function on my templates and then open them via a 3rd party preview screen I get a series of error messages before the macro works. I need to protect the form for the form fields to work and the templates are for a 3rd party system so I cant have these errors appearing. The errors persist with the AutoOpen macro and I cant set up an entry macro as the form needs to be protected for that to happen - a bit of a catch 22!! Any ideas would be appreciated.

    - Dynamic userforms Hello, I have created a Word template with a userform attached which appears on-screen for the user to fill-in and subsequently insert information into a letter. The macro which initiates this pop-up userform works great. However, it would be nice to place a date field into the userform that displays the date a developer last made a change to either the macro or userform associated with my template. Essentially, I would like to have a dynamic form in the sense that it displays the date when the template is saved. As you know, changes to macros and forms only take effect when the associated template is saved. I know this feature can be done with Javascript for webpages. Is there something similar under the hood of VBA for Word? Iâ??m trying to take the headache away from the developers so they will not have to manually insert a date each time they save changes to the macro and/or form. Not only would this be invaluable to developers for quality assurance but it would keep the end user informed to updates. Thanks!

    - Function shortcut help Hi, I recently saw some VB code and there was a shortcut and I was hoping someone knew what is its correct term. When creating an object that required parameters (or a function), rather than putting blanks or nulls in optional parameters, the code named the param and gave it a value. In other words, if the function was defined as functionName(optionalParam1, optionalParam2, optionalParam3, optionalParam4) it could be called as functionName(optionalParamName3=paramValue3, optionalParamName4=paramValue4) or something like that. I would like to read more about this, but what is it called? Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109117

    - Word Macro opening Mail Merge Template I am attempting to upgrade a Word Macro from Word 2000 that runs as a forground task scheduled via windows scheduler on a unattended server. During the running of the macro it opens a template built for mail merge that latter dynamically attaches to a CSV data source. The issue I am having is that under 2003 opening the templete stops with "Opening this document will run the following SQL command:" goes on to list the CSV data source file path which I believe is a request to attach the data source. I need to suppress this request message. Currently the template is being opened with "Documents.Add Template:=Tmplt, newtemplate:=True, documenttype:=0" The current folder contains the template named in the variable "Tmplt".

'If you want to remove the item from the menu, you can do it like this: Sub RemoveDoStyles() Dim cb As CommandBar Dim ctl As CommandBarControl CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate Set cb = CommandBars("Text") For Each ctl In cb.Controls If ctl.Tag = "Style" Then ctl.Delete End If Next End Sub This is the macro that puts the "Style" TEXT on the CommandBar? Sub DoStyles() Dim StyleCount As Integer Dim J As Integer Dim x As CommandBar, z As CommandBarComboBox On Error Resume Next StyleCount = ActiveDocument.Styles.count Set x = CommandBars.Add("AllMyStyles", msoBarPopup) Set z = x.Controls.Add(msoControlComboBox) z.Caption = "Active Styles:" For J = 1 To StyleCount If ActiveDocument.Styles(J).InUse Then z.AddItem ActiveDocument.Styles(J) End If Next J z.Text = Selection.Style x.ShowPopup Selection.Style = z.List(z.ListIndex) CommandBars("AllMyStyles").Delete End Sub Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109091

    - Supress blank text Using Word 2003 with Windows XP My VBA skills - Fair I have a template which I inherited. It is a monthly activity report for off site workers. The template contains 6 areas for acitivity reporting. Each area has 25 entry possiblities. In the first area - Meeetings - off site employees are required to report the meetings they attended. There is MeetingDate1, followed by MeetingReport1 all the way down to MeetingDate25 and MeetingReport25. What I would like to do is find some way of supressing any of the Meeting fields that are blank when the report prints. Right now, the report prints over 5 pages but most of the time there may be only 10-15 lines of actual text. Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109075

    - Help with Clipboard / moving data Hello, I have a word vba app (word 2003) that has to get a lot of data from the clipboard, then parse it / display some of it. The clipboard data is in a table format, copied from another application that I can not access programmatically and get zero help from the IT dept here. When I copy it onto the clipboard, all of the stuff that I want is in the first table, but it also copies some text and possible a picture file after the table (which I subsequently ignore when parsing the data) Currently, I copy the data onto the clipboard from the other application, then paste it into a new document, then the table/data is read into an array and the sorting etc takes over and every thing is good. The orginal paste is deleted Is there a way to get the table data directly from the clipboard into a multicolumn array? I have only the vaguest idea what a dataobject is in connection to this and how this could be used with the clipboard object, the word help file is pretty slim.

    - Can I Use VBA to register global templates? Does anyone know how to use VBA to write a windows registry key that tells Word where a global template is located? My Problem: I have several workgroup templates that contain references to one global template which contains a ton of code I use again and again from my workgroup templates. As I create the templates, I use "Tools, References" to set the references. At that point I am logged in as myself and my global template is in the default word startup folder (in the user profile). (I want to keep the folder in the default location so I am not affecting other people who may also be programming for Word and expect to put their templates there.) WHAT IS HAPPENING: Several different people may log onto any given computer. As they do, a login script copies their templates into place for them. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, sometimes my reference gets broken. It seems it is not looking to the current startup folder for the global template -- rather it looks to the other person's location. Internet research tells me when Word looks for referenced, it looks in a location listed in a registry key for that template first. I tried using vba to look for broken refs and fix them, but this isn't working because my templates crash with a "can't find project or library" compile error due to other code in them, before they can even run the "fix references" code. I BELIEVE the problem is that the windows registry key for the global templates is still listing the template in the previous users profile and it is either an old version of the template, or not in a "trusted" location and won't load due to macro security. If I could run a line of code in an autoopen macro in my global template that sets that windows registry key to the current users Word startup directory I THINK that would fix the problem. But I have no idea what they key is or how to write to the registry. Sorry so long! Please help...!!!! Tag: Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Tag: 109021

Hi all

I have this major problem. I have loaded the document template with consists
of a TOC and two headings link this

TOC (Page 1)
Heading 1 (Page 2)
Boomark
Heading 3 (Page 2)

What I want is to replace the bookmark between the two heading with alot of
data, which mean that Heading 3 will be on page seven.

Basically I have two problems

1. When I use

object oBookMark = "bookmark";
Bookmark metaBookmark = this.oDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookMark);

Word.Paragraph oPara;
oPara = this.oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add(ref metaBookmark.Range);
oPara.Range.Text = "Text1";
oPara.Format.SpaceAfter = 6;
oPara.Range.InsertParagraphBefore();

Word.Paragraph oPara;
oPara = this.oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add(ref metaBookmark.Range);
oPara.Range.Text = "Text2";
oPara.Format.SpaceAfter = 6;
oPara.Range.InsertParagraphBefore();

The Output in the document is
Text2
Text1

Where I was expecting Text1 and then Text2. It seems that it is inserting it
in reverse. I have tried using InsertParagraphAfter(), but with a even worse
result.

What am I doing wrong ? Hope for any of you gurus to help.

If you can answer how to update the TOC when done that would be great.

Cheers
