    - error 5941 debugging help needed. I have set up a macro to insert filename and path in the footer of a document as follows. For some reason this code stops at the line of code midway down where it is actually putting the info in the footer. All you see in the document is "IF 1 = 1" on some workstation but not others. All workstations are using the same image of Office installed some time ago. Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this to happen??????

    - Macro's in MS Word leading into Outlook I have a table set up in MS Word. I have a column that the answer is either Y or N. What im looking to do is, when a user enters a Y, this automatically opens an email from outlook. Depending on how complicated it is to do, the email can either be blank, and just be used as a prompt containing the title 'New CBP SITE ISSUE', or open containing the email adresses of Project leads on the team and including the title above. I am currently working on MS Word 2000 9.0.3821 SR-1 and MS Outlook 2000 SR-1 9.0.03821 Is this something anybody can help me with.

    - Dutch Math I need to write program code for 'international' applications. I have set my Region settings to Dutch(Netherlands). In Dutch (and other major languages), commas represent the decimal point and periods represent the thousands separators. I wrote this simple formula: Dim mynumber As Single Dim mynumber2 As Single Dim mynumber3 As Single Dim mynumber4 As Single mynumber = 1,50 mynumber2= 5 mynumber3=mynumber + mynumber2 mynumber4=mynumber3 + 1.5 I get a 'Compile Error, Expected End of Statment' message with the row "mynumber = 1,5" highlighted. What am I doing wrong? How can I overcome this? Unfortunately, it seems not to be simple matter of putting a period in place of the comma, for when I actually try to run a calculation using decimals as, the results come out in commas. Chaining calculations becomes more than very confusing (at least to me), because of the fact that the answer returned after the first calculation is expressed in Dutch (e.g., 1,5), but the next entry must be entered in 'American'. And if the initial values are picked up as string variables from an input box, it becomes even more confusing. Are there resources to help explain this?

    - AutoNew and Private I am trying to get my head around Private declarations and AutoNew/AutoOpen options. I have the following code that works: Option Explicit Dim cb As CommandBarComboBox Sub AutoNew() SetComboBox End Sub Private Sub SetComboBox Set cb = CommandBars("Test").Controls.Add(msoControlComboBox) with cb .OnAction = "SetColour" .AddItem "Green" ' Other setup stuff that works.... End With End Sub Private Sub SetColour Select Case cb.Text Case "Green" 'Run another Macro that doesn't matter here EndSub If however I declare AutoNew as Private so that it is hidden from the Macro list then the above breaks at the Select Case Statement.

    - Userforms - working with decimal places I would like to be able to enter an amount into a textbox within a userform and have the amount fill from the right hand side. (This much I can do using the Align Property). However, as the numbers are typed I would like to see the decimal point to be placed 2 decimal places within the number, ie if I enter 123456 I would like to see: As soon as the 12 is typed â?? see .12 As soon as the next digit is typed, the 3 â?? see 1.23 As soon as the next digit is typed, the 4 â?? see 12.34 If I then deletes the last number, the 4 â?? see 1.23 So if I type 123456 â?? see 1234.56 So a value of $2000.00 would be typed as 200000 and the decimal point is not typed but appears correctly. Is this possible? Many Thanks, Angie. Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 93063

    - Removing unwanted macro code by savinng as .RTF affects the document styles? Based on some good advice in a different thread, I saved a Word document as .RTF in order to remove unwanted macro code. While this worked, when the document was opened, it had a different set of styles defined for it than the original document. I am quite keen to stick with the original set of styles as I use them heavily, but my current customers are disconcerted by the Macro security message that is being activated due to the presence of the macro code. I should add that the document is based on a template where all the styles are defined and uses a macro in the creation stages to display a form for the user to set some document properties. Thanks in advance. Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 93030

    - Calculating the height (in mm) of a text line in Microsoft Word I'm making a program, in VB.NET, that creates and fills a table in a Microsoft Word document. Therefore I need a method to calculate the exact height, in millimeters, of a text line written with a certain font, at a certain size. Searching the Internet I've found this: Private Function GetFontHeight(ByVal FontName As String, _ ByVal FontSize As Single) As Single Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics() Dim myFont As Font = New Font(FontName, FontSize) myGraphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter Return myGraphics.MeasureString("Ag", myFont).Height * 0.9 ' <<< STRANGE!!! End Function The result was so imprecise that I had to add that 0.9 coefficient (I calculated it with several attempts by approximation). But the result is imprecise. There seems to be a discrepancy between the height of a line in the Graphics object, and the height of that same line in Microsoft Word. That discrepancy is about 10%. Strange, isn't it?

    - Tables In Word I've asked this question before -- I've learned quite a bit from some of the help I've gotten, so I'll try to condense my original version/post: Does anyone have some sample code I could use to do the following ============================================== I have a series of forms with a variety of checkboxes and radio buttons. For Example -- When checkboxes and radio buttons on frmMonAnaly are checked, I need for data that spans (4) colums in a Word Table (a separate document -- C:\Temp\Shane.doc) to populate in a table in the active document (SOF.dot). I created bookmarks for each row in the table (SOF.dot), but I'm not sure if I need to duplicate these bookmarks in the Shane.doc Table. I'm not sure which would be easiest (not that either is particularily easy for me) -- to import the data from a Word Table, or from an Excel wb -- in the SOF.doc, I'll untimately need to sum/calculate the totals in (3) of the columns. Thank -- I hope I've been concise here, and I appreciate whatever guidance you can offer. Sample Code would help greatly :) Shane Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92954

    - On Exit Macro I discussed this issue in a very long post yesterday as a sidebar and thought it better to simplify my observations and question here as a dedicated post. I will sacrifice my second born child as repentence for double posting. This code works as expected: Sub Test() Dim oDoc As Word.Document Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oDoc = Documents.Add Set oRng = oDoc.Range oRng.Text = "Test" MsgBox oDoc.Range oDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub I can call the code above using this code and it still works as expected: Sub OnExitFormField() Test End Sub However, if I assign OnExitFormField () to the exit event of a protected formfield then when I tab out of that formfield a Run-Time Error 4198 "Command Failed" occurs on this line: oDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges But, if I put a break in the code at that line and then tab out of the field the editor runs to that line and stops and I can manually step through the remainder of the code without error. Can anyone explain why this happens? Thanks. Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92934

    - VBA Code - Pasting Pictures from Excel into Word I am using Excel to automate the creation of a simple report in Word. Due to limited stack space I've had to copy my charts in Excel as pictures. When I then try to copy and paste these pictures into a Word document as part of the automation, the picture doesn't stay where I pasted it in the report. Does anyone have the code that can be used in Excel to paste a picture in Word and have it stay in the same place? The other picture formatting (ex. wordwrap) specifications seem to work properly. I'm just having problems with the picture moving with the text written after it's pasted. I'm working in Excel and Word version 11 (2003) on XP. Thanks.

    - Preventing mailmerge "select data source" dialog Hello. I need to prevent the "select data source" dialog from displaying when I open a mailmerge document from my code. It doesn't matter if it's VB, VCS or VC++. For example, I have a word document that is connected to an Excel data source. When I open the file with something like "wrdApp.Documents.Open" it shows the dialog, while I need it to be fully automated. At the moment I noticed that I can make it work by "simulating" escape key by trapping the dialog window and sending a WM_KEY message. But I think this is a bad approach (I have to check the window caption and obviously it doesn't work if I check for the caption in a language different from that in which Office is installed). I tried to record a macro when opening a mailmerge file but it shows nothing useful (only "ChangFileDirectory" actually). Anyone who can help me? Thanks a lot and sorry if I wrote too much. Gabriele.

    - Variable to declare function lib location? I call several functions in an external dll file. I would like to avoid placing the dll in the system32 folder. I tried regsvr32 but the dll has no entry point define for this. If I put this in my module it works fine: Public Declare Function my_function Lib "c:\My App\my.dll" My question is: Is there any way I can somehow use a variable for the folder instead of hard-coding "c:\My App\"? Specifically, I have a registry setting with the folder name that I want to use. I cannot figure out how to do this. Thanks. Hafabee Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92877

    - *Another* MoveDown bug in Word? Hi, I think I have come across another MoveDown/MoveUp bug in word. To begin with, I have tested this with - Windows 2000 Professional (No service packs and SP-4) - Word 2000 (No service packs and SP-3) - Screen resolutions of (1024x768) and (1280x1024) Under particular circumstances, the MoveDown/MoveUp method will not work at all, and no error is produced (unlike the known bug 235876) To make this happen you first need to start Word, and exit it with the word window in the following state: - The Word window height less than 1/2 the height of the vertical screen resolution - The bottom of the Word window must be in the lower 1/2 of the screen Next, start word and close all open documents. Then run a macro which does the following - Minimizes word & - Then utilizes MoveUp/MoveDown NOTE: The bug will not manifest itself if - There is already a document open - Or the application window is visible on the screen. I have written a macro which should reproduce the problem. What will happen is: - Bug NOT exhibited: There will be 9 empty/blank lines in the document - Bug IS exhibited: There will be 9 lines containing the text Line[1-9] To stop the bug from exhibiting, you must start & then exit word with in the following state: - The word window height more than 1/2 the height of the vertical screen resolution. NOTE: Maximizing the window does NOT affect the window height. The window must be in 'Restore Down' mode Then restart word and run the macro. The bug should not be produced '------ START HERE ------ Sub RunIt() ' Close all the documents If (Documents.Count > 0) Then Call Application.Documents.Close(wdDoNotSaveChanges) End If ' Minimize the application window Let Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize ' Create a new document Call Documents.Add.Activate ' Insert some text Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 9 Call Selection.InsertAfter("Line" & i & vbCrLf) Next i Call Selection.InsertAfter("Line" & i + 1) ' Go to the last line Call Selection.GoTo(wdGoToLine, wdGoToLast) ' Start deleting text For i = 1 To 10 Call Selection.MoveRight(wdWord, 1, wdExtend) Call Selection.Range.Delete Call Selection.MoveUp(wdLine, 1, wdMove) Next ' Restore the window Let Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize ' Goto the first line (i.e. scroll up) Call Selection.GoTo(wdLine, wdFirst) End Sub '------ END HERE ------ I would be very interested to hear if other people can reproduce this.

    - Forms / Send to Not quite sure which thread this should be on, but I'll try here: I have a straightforward form in Word with some drop-down selections and text input. After completing the information I save the .doc file, and do a Send To, which looks beautiful in Outlook, except that ALL drop-down selections are missing. The saved .doc file looks perfect. Am I missing something - or is this not supported? Thank you in advance. Trouvera Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92869

    - Word document with XML - content copy causes error. Hi. The program I'm working on saves the current Word document in WordML format, modifies the saved data (as an XML document), saves the modified data in temp XML file, opens that file in Word and copies the contents form the temp document over the original one: (Original Doc) -> (SaveAs WordML) -> (Modify WordML) -> (Save Temp WordML) -> (Open Temp WordML in Word) -> (Copy Temp contents over Original contents). I use this process to speed up otherwise slow operations in Word. The documents involved have custom Schema and XML markup themselves. The problem comes when I do this (C#): wdDocument.Content.FormattedText = tempWdDoc.Content.FormattedText; The line above throws an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A17EA): This action is not valid outside of a block-level XML element. at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range.set_FormattedText(Range prop) It seems only some machines have this problem. Does anyone have a clue what this message is? Thank you. Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92862

    - Range Madness and Other Frustrations This is a very long post. I have had fits today working with ranges and an on exit event. My challenge (perhaps your childs play) was to create a conditional additional question in a form. Example: Why did the chicken cross the road? "Dropdown field containing multiple choices" If the selection made above was "To get the other side" Then display a follow-up question: Did she say why she wanted to cross the road: "Dropdown field containing yes and no" I created the first question and dropdown field using "Question" as the bookmark name. >From the beginning, I figured that using a stored AutoText entry of the follow-up question and dropdown field would be the easiest approach. I created the follow-up question and dropdown field using "FUA" as the bookmark name. I then stored the follow-up question and formfield as AutoText "FUQ." I used a bookmark "FUQ" to designate the placement of the conditional question. Since the FUQ needed to be displayed or hidden depending on the condition, I realized that I would need to write either the AutoText FUQ or "" to the bookmark range and redefine the range with each change. My first coding attempt was: Sub OnExitDropDown() Dim oFF As FormFields Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oFF = ActiveDocument.FormFields Select Case oFF("Question").DropDown.ListEntries(oFF("Question").DropDown.Value).Name Case Is = "Yes" ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range oRng.Text = NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("FUQ") ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True Case Else ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range oRng.Text = "" ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True End Select End Sub To my dismay, I realized that "oRng.Text =" must be taken literally as the displayed result was: "Did he say why he crossed the road? * FORMDROPDOWN **" and not the questions text with a functional formfield :-( I monkey around with the oRng object a bit but I couldn't find a method that would allow me to put the actual working content of the AutoText entry in oRng. Question 1 - Is there a method to put something other than literal text in a range? Giving up that approach, I next thought about using a find and replace with autotext routine that me and friend Graham Mayor worked out sometime ago. My approach was to write a "flag" within the bookmark range then use the find replace routine to replace the flag with the AutoText entry. I used this code: Sub OnExitDropDown() Dim oFF As FormFields Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oFF = ActiveDocument.FormFields Select Case oFF("Question").DropDown.ListEntries(oFF("Question").DropDown.Value).Name Case Is = "Yes" ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range oRng.Text = "*@*" ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng RWAT ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True Case Else ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range oRng.Text = "" ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True End Select End Sub And Sub RWAT() Dim oSPRng As Word.Range Dim oSrchRng As Range Dim pFN As String 'Create a scratch pad Set oSPRng = Documents.Add.Range NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("FUQ").Insert oSPRng 'Cut the inserted entry to the clipboard oSPRng.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End - 1 oSPRng.Cut ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges 'crumple up the scratch pad 'Replace found text with the clipboard contents. Set oSrchRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range With oSrchRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "*@*" .Replacement.Text = "^c" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne If .Found = True Then MsgBox "Flag found" 'Added for testing End With End Sub Again to my dismay and despite the Msgbox displaying "Flag found," the result in the document at the bookmark was: *@* I stepped through the code repeatedly and each time all indications where that the flag was found, the replacement executed, but the result was the same as shown above :-( I fiddled around with this and soon realized (but can't explain why) that if I set the flag as "*@*" and the then searched for "*@" the result at the bookmark was: Did he say why he crossed the road? "a fully functional dropdown"* Viewing this as a minor concession, I changed the flag to: oRng.Text = "*@ " 'note the trailing space and this left just a single extra space at the end of the bookmark range instead of "*." Question 2 - Can someone explain the behavior described above? Why when the found range includes the entire bookmark range does the replacement fail? Thinking that I had found a solution, I set my macro to run on exit from the "Question" formfield. My euphoria was quickly dashed. While the code worked perfectly when I a) stepped through it with the editor, and b) ran it directly from the editor, it failed when triggered by tabbing out of the formfield. It was generating a RTE 4198 "Command failed" while attempting to execute this line of code in the RWAT procedure: ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges Since it ran normally from the editor, I suspected that this must have something to do with the field controlling the activedocument until the procedure is completed. I tried all I know to create a specific document object e.g., Dim oDoc as Word.Document Set oDOC = Documents.Add ..... oDoc.Close but I got the same error regardless of what I tried. Question 3 - Can anyone explain the behavior described above? Sticking with the find and replace autotext theme and convinced that attempting to close the scratch pad was the stumbling block, I elected to add a scratch pad at the end of the active document and then delete it. This is the RWAT code (note the main code stayed the same): Sub RWAT() Dim oSPRng As Word.Range Dim oSrchRng As Range 'Create a note area Set oSPRng = ActiveDocument.Range oSPRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Range.End 'Write the AutoText entry NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("FUQ").Insert oSPRng 'Cut the inserted entry to the clipboard oSPRng.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End - 1 oSPRng.Cut 'tear off the scratch pad :-) 'Replace flag with the clipboard contents. Set oSrchRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range With oSrchRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "*&" .Replacement.Text = "^c" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne End With End Sub This appears to be working as expected but I have not fully tested the possible effects on the document from creating and then deleting the note area. Additionally, I learned that I could get rid of the extraneous space within the bookmark by redefining the bookmark again using oRgn after it contained the functioning AutoText and I added code to select the new dropdown field: Final version: Sub RWAT() Dim oSPRng As Word.Range Dim oSrchRng As Range 'Create a note area Set oSPRng = ActiveDocument.Range oSPRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Range.End 'Write the AutoText entry NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("FUQ").Insert oSPRng 'Cut the inserted entry to the clipboard oSPRng.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End - 1 oSPRng.Cut 'tear off the scratch pad :-) 'Replace flag with the clipboard contents. Set oSrchRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range With oSrchRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "*&" .Replacement.Text = "^c" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne End With End Sub Question 4 - This seems like a brutally complicated process yet appears that it could be applied relatively to several scenarios. An earlier thought this morning was to simply insert the AutoText at the bookmark then move the bookmark range and redefined it: This code worked but I didn't like the idea of having to "know" what the last text character was in the formfield (i.e., the "?") Sub OnExitDropDown1() Dim oFF As FormFields Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oFF = ActiveDocument.FormFields Select Case oFF("DropDown1").DropDown.ListEntries(oFF("DropDown1").DropDown.Value).Name Case Is = "To get to the other side" ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("FUQ").Insert oRng oRng.MoveEndUntil Cset:="?", Count:=wdForward oRng.MoveEnd wdWord, 2 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUA").Range.FormFields(1).Select Case Else ActiveDocument.Unprotect Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("FUQ").Range oRng.Text = "" ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "FUQ", oRng ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True End Select End Sub However after all this effort I am beginning to think that I should have stayed with this idea. LOL Interested in any other ideas and simplifications. Thanks. Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92858

    - Convert drop down lists and fields to text I have created two templates for forms that folks on my worksite fill out on a daily basis. Both are protected so that the users only have the ability to fill in the fields on the forms. There are a couple of drop-down lists and the rest are standard fields for the user to fill in text. Is it possible to have a macro (or perhaps there is another method) run when the user exits the final field so that all of the fields are converted to regular text? As it is now, once they are finished, the drop-down fields remain and they can continue to tab through the fields and make changes. Although I don't need as much security as locking the entire form and preventing future editing, it would be nice to at least have the entire completed form like regular text, rather than them being able to still access the drop down list.

    - Tab Action How do you get VB to respond when a user tabs OUT of a field? I'm going to set up a form using an array to call values based on what is entered in one text field and I'd like it to happen immediately upon the user typing in their data and leaving the field, not pressing a button or anything. Like when you type in "8810" and press Tab out of the field the next (non-enabled) text field will show "Clerical Office employees" Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92837

    - Putting CustomProperty into document Hi I have a CustomProperty which I will fill in VBA code, but how can I put it in the document's body? best regards Mateusz [PEYN] Adamus http://adamus.home.pl Tag: Bookmarks and references to bookmark in a table Tag: 92836

HI,
I have the following requirement. Would it be possible to do in a macro code?

1. I have 2 tables. Each has 3 rows and 2 columns.
2. From table2-row1, I would like to reference table1-row3. This includes
creation of bookmark in table1-row3 and reference the same from table-2-row1
3. By executing above step - In table-2-row-1 (reference) I would like to
have a proper text that mentions "At row - 3 of table-1....."(bookmark
location)
4. If I insert an additional row in table-1 before the bookmark row(row-3),
I would like the reference in table-2-row1 to mention "At row - 4 of
table-1....." automatically.

Need your assitance in getting the macro code for step-2, 3 and 4.

Thanks in advance,
Seekar.

You should be able to do that by making use of:

Selection.Information (wdEndOfRangeColumnNumber)
Selection.Information (wdEndOfRangeRowNumber)
