    - Problem with Word Code in 2003 I am performing a mail merge in Word through an Access database. As part of the process, I check to see if a Word document is already a mail merge document, and then, if it is, if it has the correct data source. Thus, from within Access, I use: If objWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.State=wdMainAndDataSource Then ... This has worked fine with Access/Word 2000, or if the program is used with Access/Word 2002. However, with Access/Word 2003, the MailMerge.State value returns wdNormalDocument (0) instead of wdMainAndDataSource (2). I double-checked the document, and it clearly is a mail merge main document with a data source. When when read through Access, I get the return value of a normal document. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks, Neil Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72688

    - date code question I am trying to modify the date code field to automatically populate a date in my word document X number of days from the present date. Would I be able to modify the following to accomplish this task and if so, how would you go about doing it? { DATE \@ "dddd MM/dd/yy"} So, when this document is edited today (08/18/05), the code will produce: Thursday 08/18/05 I want to modify the code so it is always smart enough to add X days to the date automatically. So, if I wanted it to display a date 7 days into the future (X=7), output would automatically be adjusted to display: Thursday 08/25/05 How can the date code listed above be modified to accomplish this? Thanks. Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72687

    - Controlling text wrapping around an image. Hello We generate word documents from content in a database (AuthorIT application). I want to have an image on the front page of my document _behind_ the text. When generated, the text is wrapped around the image. I want to use a macro to set the image to display beneath the text. I have come up with this macro: Sub MoveImage() Dim iShape, Shape On Error Resume Next For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.InlineShapes iShape.ConvertToShape Next For Each Shape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.ShapeRange Shape.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapThrough Next End Sub This doesn't work when run as soon as the doc is generated, but curiously does work if i manually select the image then run it. Can anyone help me to develop a macro that will set the desired wrapping without any manual action? Thanks Dave. Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72671

    - Display Print Dialog Thankyou in advance. I have the bellow code capturing the print event. But what I would like to do is still display the Print Dialog so the user can change which Printer they wish to print to instead of just the default. Sub FilePrint() ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Job File Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Client Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.Save End Sub The requirement for the document is that it prints out in duplicate and the heading needs to be different on each print out. The above code achieves the printing in duplicate and changing the headings but only to the default printer. I would like to display the Print Dialog so that they can change the printer. Thankyou again. Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72648

    - Programatically adding new autotext entries to a global template I'm in the process of (hopefully) improving the overall use of Word XP in our small office. Being a self-taught newbie to VBA, I've found this newsgroup to be of real value as a source of info and tips. As part of the process, I've created a global template ( called RI_Global.dot) which will hold, amongst other things, all our generic autotext entries, ie - ones we want to be available all the time in any document. What I'm seeking guidance about concerns the way a new user-created autotext entry is "saved" to a template. My understanding is that the default choice is the normal.dot template, whereas I want the entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot. Is it possible to "force" a newly created AutoText entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot, rather than relying on the users to remember to choose this template when they access the Insert/AutoText/AutoText command? Also, can I intercept the "Alt+F3" shortcut to again force the entry to be saved to my global template? I've found the appropriate(?) dialog which might be interceptable [ie: Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)], but I can't see how any of the options can be manipulated through VBA. Using the macro recorder and selecting the global template from the "Look in:" drop-down box doesn't shed any light on the steps involved when I look at the resulting code. Thanks in anticipation.

    - Amending the File Open dialog Since upgrading to Word2003 I notice that the "Look in" box in File/Open dialog always seems to point to the last directory I used. Whilst this is sometimes convenient, most of the time I want to open files in the specific directory, "DirName", which I have created to contain my most used files, with its own tree substructure. I therefore wish to ensure that "Look in" always defaults to that given directory. Could (or should) this be achieved by modifying the following module already installed which ensures that the "Files of type" box always shows "All Files":- Sub FileOpen() With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen) .Name = "*.*" .Show End With End Sub Or should a separate new module be used. Being not too familiar with the Visual Basic codes, can someone kindly advise how to do this. Thanks Jack Sadie Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72643

    - Clean Up for Merge Code Dear All, I have a template that is creating a new document using data from an access query that is merged into a Word template. All Office 2003 apps on Win2K and XP pro workstations. The document is created -- but there is also an additional "Document 1" that is created every time that has to be deleted -- a copy of the template with no data in it. If anyone can point out how I can eliminate that extra clutter, I would appreciate it. Additionally, my code is messy, since a lot of it was generated by recording. I'd appreciate gentle recommendations for cleaning it up. Right now, it says" Sub autonew() ' Perform Merge using CatalogTextSource.txt ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\TEMP\MtgNoticeSource.txt", ConfirmConversions:=False, _ ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _ PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With ' Save New Merge Document as NewMeetingNotice.doc ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\My Documents\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\cpa_comp\chapters\_chapter Programs\-Chapter Notice E-Form\__Current\NewMeetingNotice.doc", FileFormat:= _ wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _ True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _ False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False Followed by code to clean up and format the document Thnak you in advance for any assistance.

    - Identifying Pictures and Drawing Objects I've done some work with a template that shows and hides graphic images -- allowing a user to fax a document (show image of logo) or print the document on letterhead (hiding image of logo). I found that the picures came in as "Picture 11" and "Picture 22" and so on. I was able to identify them by using the recorder and selecting them and then looking at the code. But I was wondering if there is any, more efficient way, to identify image and drawing objects? Ridge (in New Joisey) Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72628

    - PrivateProfileString I have been using this method to store user defaults for client templates. In probably 8 years I've never had a problem with it. Now, I've had two testers run into problems where the .ini file doesn't seem to be storing, or if it does, it's not where I expect it to be. Since the client is in another city, I can't just sit at their PCs and figure out what's going on, so wonder if anyone here might have experienced any problems with this method. Word 2003.

    - Strange toolbar behavior I have several toolbars with macros assigned to them. Two macros, for no apparent reason I can figure, rearranges the toolbars when I run them. The macros themsleves don't appear to have anything in them that would affect toolbar positions. They are both used to convert fill-in form fields to plain text -- one does the whole document, the other just does whatever is selected. When either macro runs, it moves two of the custom toolbars from one location to another. One toolbar has these macro assigned to it, the other is a custom toolbar with other macros, but not these particular ones. None of the other macros move toolbars around. The macros appears below, for what it's worth. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

    - Incorrect page numbers after inserting files MS XP / Word 2000 â?? 2003 Page Numbering Woes â?? I am having a hard time getting my document to correctly number pages, any help greatly appreciated. I am working on a macro that allows users to apply formatting to a document, add table of contents and insert other documents (called boilerplates) to the beginning of the original (after TOC). I am able to insert the requested documents using the following code: Note: at the time of inserting the documents the table of contents has already been inserted. Sub _Boilerplates() 'add selected boilerplates to current document Dim iCnt As Integer For iCnt = 0 To frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.ListCount - 1 If frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.Selected(iCnt) Then Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView ' Go to second section Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=2, Name:="" Selection.InsertFile FileName:=gstrDocFullPath & _ frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.List(iCnt), _ Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakContinuous End If Next ActiveDocument.Save End Sub After inserting the boilerplates I run the following code to number the pages: Sub _PageNumbers() ' ' Add page numbers to the final document ' Dim i As Integer i = Selection.Sections.Count ' go to top of document and clear find area Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleLowercaseRoman .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True For i = 1 To Selection.Sections.Count + 1 ' Skip to Next Section and number those pages Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToNext, Count:=1, Name:="" Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).LinkToPrevious = False ' Now number body With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleArabic .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = i - 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True Next End Sub What happens is that the newly inserted boilerplates all have the page number 1, as well as the beginning of the original document.

    - Replacing Bookmark Text - Userforms (FYI - I posted this on the beginners, general, and userforms boards.) I have created a template where I created a userform with 2 "fields" (ProjectName and TaskName). Each field corresponds w/a bookmark. I'm using REF commands to link/repeat the bookmarks in the footer of the report. It is all working well except that the data that is input through the userform is getting added to the (default) bookmark text instead of replacing it. I found a MVP document that gives me a general idea of what I need to do (set a bookmark range variable) {MVP Doc: Inserting text at a bookmark without deleting the bookmark}. It includes a subroutine when using a macros/userform, but I'm not sure where to put it. Can anyone help me with this??? THANK YOU! Wendy Now, template bookmarks look like: [ProjectName] and [TaskName]. If I input a 1 (for project name) and a 2 (for task name) in the userform when I open a new document, the bookmark data changes to: [1ProjectName] and [2TaskName]. I need it to change to [1] and [2] (but keep the bookmarks). My VBA code has: AUTONEW MODULE Sub AutoNew() ' ' AutoNew Macro ' Macro created 8/16/2005 by wdaniels ' UserForm1.Show End Sub USERFORM - Commandbutton1 Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("ProjectName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox1 .Bookmarks("TaskName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox2 End With UserForm1.Hide End Sub Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72617

    - Duplex Printing In Word Greetings, I found a macro that is suppose to manually print duplex for printers that don't have the duplex option. The code is suppose to print the current page in the active document, open a messagebox so the user can manually flip the page, and then print the second (or even) page after the user presses ok. The macro does print, but only after the code finishes running. For some reason, it only spools the the first print current page command, and then prints it when the code finishes running.

    - Access Database Update I have an Access database which contains information for a form. I use the database for merging with a Word template which is then sent out to customers via email. I also have text form fields for the customer to fill out in response to the original information. These transactions happen 5 or 6 times a day and cutting and pasting just doesn't cut it since the returned information is lengthy. Everything is working beautifully, except I don't have an easy way to import the data from the text form field back into the database. I would like the returned form to be able to be attached to the Access database much the same way that it works the other way around. Is that possible? The users of this system need a button to be able to do this. If I got hit by a gasoline tanker tomorrow, they wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with the returned info from the Word form.

    - Remembering document-specific window position Certain of my editing tasks involve having multiple open docs in Word. Given limited screen real estate, I carefully size the windows before setting to work, which is a pain. I'd like to write up or find a macro that would, on a document-by-document basis (very important), save the window size/position for that particular document on closing, then, on reopening, have Word get the window properties from the individual doc template or information and restore to the saved position. Ideally, I'd load this in Normal.dot and invoke it with a keystroke combo as an alternative way to close docs. Is there a way to do this? I've searched high and low, but can't find anything on how to do it with VBA (I'm in Word 2002 on WinXP, with VB 6.3). I know it's possible because so many apps do it (including WordPerfect back in the day when I used it), but I don't know if it's doable in VBA. The only thing I find in online VBA resources is discussion of saving the /application/'s main window position and writing to the registry to do so -- but that's not what I'm seeking. Any ideas?

    - Real and curious problems with vba office2000 et office2003 on a computer Since some days, I have some problems with VBA (with Access as well as Word). All these problems exist in Office 2000 as well as in 2003 Some VBA functions do not vork anymore. ========================================================== So the function 'Kill' is completly unefficient. I mean that 'Kill' doesn't kill files, but, worse, give no error message if I ask to 'Kill' a file which does not exists (for example with a bad path). So the line : ----------- Kill "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" ----------- does not give a message. Just the program quit the function where is the line without executing the lines after. There is no error treatment un function. If I put a Rem or a "'" at the begining of the line, the lines after are executed. If the path of the program to kill is bad (for example "c:\progr files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" , there is no error message! ========================================================== The function 'Mkdir' does not work anymore. So the line : ----------- MkDir "c:\xxxxx" ----------- doen't create the dirextory 'xxxxx'. ========================================================== The procedure : ----------- Sub Test () Dim FileNumber as integer FileNumber = FreeFile Open "c:\TEST" For Output As #FileNumber Write #FileNumber, "Ceci est un exemple" Close #FileNumber End Sub ----------- does'nt create the file and the error message says that the file does not exist ! It do not accept to create it... ========================================================== The function 'Shell' does not work anymore. So the line ----------- Shell "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe", vbMaximizedFocus ----------- does'nt launch Internet Explorer. If the path given in string is bad, there is no error message. ========================================================== I don't know if the following problem is bound to there others problems, but now I cannot use the function "Export in Word" or "Export in Excel" or "Export in 'presse-papier'" for exportations of preview of report. No problem if I export to Word a preview of a form or of a table or of a query. But it is now impossible to export a report preview towards Word. =========================================================== I have Windows XP PRO. I have Office 2000 developer, and Office 2003.

    - Writing neat VBA I have a document with Odd and Even pages headers and footers. At this point I insert a new section and which I have to remove the header and footer linking to the previous section. I create a temporary bookmark, add a page break, unlink the primary and even headers and footers, remove the bookmark and then the page break. Everything works as it should and there is no problem. However, below is the code which does all the unlinking and I just wanted to say the same thing but with a little more elegance and finesse. Could somebody therefore, please show me how these few lines might be written in properly coded VBA? ====================== ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekEvenPagesHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekPrimaryHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekEvenPagesFooter Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekPrimaryFooter Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ======================== You might wonder why all the backwards and forwards between the headers, main document and back to the footers with the selection of the temp bookmark in between? Well, I found that Word "got lost"(i.e. didn't go to where I expected it to go) if I told it to unlink the odd and even headers and then do the same with the odd and even footers. It somehow got confused and went and did things either in the previous section or the one following the new section. I created some explicit actions and that did the trick!!

    - Macro Style Replace Word2000. I record a macro to SearchAndReplace a custom style. During the recording, the SearchAndReplace works fine. When running the macro, it doesn't work. Calling up the SearchAndReplace dialog box shows why: instead of searching for the stylename, it search for a stylename plus border attributes plus other things. Can this be fixed? -- JohnTheTemp Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72549

    - VBA macro to create an index I wrote a macro that creates an index. Here is an explanation: I have a text and a file c:\boss_info_index.txt that have a keywords I want to index in the text file. Keywords in the file have no duplicates and are in descending orders - I am not sure if the order is relevant, but there should be no duplicates.

    - Working with Stylized Quotes Hi Everyone, Does anyone know of a function that will convert Stylized Quotes to a normal quote? Here is the application; I am comparing one string to another. In some cases the strings do not match when they should. The issue is that use of Stylized Quotes. One string may use a slightly different version of a single quote causing the string comparison function to fail. I would like to convert all single quotes to a simple quote for comparing. Thanks, George Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72545

    - Add documents via listbox I need to insert documents, at either the front or end of the open document, from either a network drive or user hard drive. I would like to make these files available to users via a listbox on a form. I have been able to use file scripting object to browse to the files and add them to the list box using the following code: Sub GetFiles() Dim fs, f, f1, fc, fn, s Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.GetFolder("C:\Documents") Set fc = f.Files For Each f1 In fc ' fn = f1.FileName If InStr(1, f1.Name, "boilerplate", vbTextCompare) Then Set fn = fs.GetFile(f1) lbBoilerplates.AddItem (fn) End If Next Set fs = Nothing End Sub This is all good, however: The list box is populated with the entire path and file name. What I would like to do is list only the file name. When the user selects desired documents (could be 1 or many) I would then insert the files into the document. Question: How do I get only the filename without the path for populating the listbox? I have been unable to retrieve only the filename without performing string functions to strip out the file name. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you. Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72542

    - Which menu item activated - how? Hi I'd like to be able to identify if a menu item (any menu item) has been activated both by click and by accelerator key. I found a message on google groups that kind of provides a solution but I'm having trouble figuring it out and I was wondering if anyone might be able to explain how to use it? The text of the post is below. I understand steps 1-3 but I get lost at step 4: How would I call the sub in step 4? Would I just put it in a regular module? What would be an example of an "Ctrl" argument for the sub in step 4? Also, I note that the sub is called "MyControl_Click". Would that work even if the user activated the menu item using an accelerator key, not the mouse? The post says that code needs to be written to instantiate the class object. Does that mean a Property Get statement? Lastly, in step 3 the SaveAs button ID is specified. How would that Set statement be written if I wanted to get the id number for whatever menu item was activated? Many thanks for any help! Here's the original post: "You can do it by trapping the click event for the control. 1. Add a class module to the VBA project. 2. Declare a variable to trap the events: Public WithEvents MyControl As Office.CommandBarButton 3. In the module's initialize event, find the control you want to monitor. Private Sub Class_Initialize() Set MyControl = Application.CommandBars.FindCoÂntrol(ID:=748) End Sub (748 is the ID of SaveAs option on the File menu). 4. Write an event procedure for when the control is clicked: Private Sub MyControl _Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean) MsgBox "FileSave Clicked" End Sub The click event is fired before the built-in command is run. Set CancelDefault = TRUE to prevent the built-in command running. 5. Write some code (eg in AutoExec) to instantiate your class object. You'll need to re-run this code if you do anything that resets the VBA project, like editing any code." (The original post I'm quoting from is http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.vba.general/msg/5c81f19b8c21b4b5?hl=en&) Thanks again Mike Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72524

    - General Question About Userforms and Properties Hi, I am using WORD 2000 and I have a general question about Userforms and Properties. Userform-1 displays a custom dialog, Userform-2. Userform-1 has to know which command button(s) were pressed in Userform-2. Arguments are "passed" between the forms by property statements. Userform-2 sets properties in Userform-1 by using the CallByName statement. Userform-1 object and property names set in Userform-2 via property statements. Has anybody had any problems using the above described scenario? That is, are there problems using property statements in Userforms and using the CallByName statement? It does seem to work but I would just like to know if there are any "gotchas". Thanks in advance for any help, advice and tips. Jerry Bodoff Tag: OT: Agent Forte and Private Groups Tag: 72518

Hi everybody,

since the last harddrive crash I'm trying without success
to get back to the private groups. I'm using agent forté.

Maybe someone can help me via EMail,
as I don't want to molest the group with this.

Might become a long story, as I am completely lost
and I don't have the faintest idea where to start.
