    - How to automatically create missing subdocuments ? Hi, I Have a word document that is automatically generated by an application. This document refers to subdocuments but some of them are (sometime) missing. I'd like to write a vba macro which will check all subdocuments and will create the missing ones. The following code does not work: Sub createMissingSubDocuments() For Each sd In ActiveDocument.Subdocuments file_path = sd.Path & Application.PathSeparator & sd.Name If sd.HasFile = True Then 'MsgBox subdoc.Path & Application.PathSeparator & subdoc.Name Else Documents.Add.SaveAs FileName:=file_path, fileformat:=wdFormatRTF End If Next End Sub When reaching Documents.Add.saveAs ... an error is raised saying that the file already exists (but actually it does not exist) Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107967

    - Controlling The Order of User Namespace Declarations Here is a question specific to WordprocessML resultant instance output whose root element is w:wordDocument. If I employeed multiple user schemas in my Microsoft Office Word 2003 document, how would the order of associated namespace declarations be decided? For instance, if two schemas www.mycompany.org/schema_a.xsd and www.mycompany.org/schema_b.xsd were employeed, who would be deciding that namespace ns5 is assigned first to www.mycompany.org/schema_a.xsd and then ns6 to www.mycompany.org/schema_b.xsd rather than the reverse order? Can doument author have any control in this regard? If yes, how to do that? Any advice is appreciated. Regards, Spenser Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107954

    - Macro Recording Process Acieved Macro Goal, Macro Itself Fails I recorded a macro as I simultaneously (1) searched for all paragraphs of outline level 8 and beginning with the text â??i.â?? followed by a tab character and (2) replaced each instance of the above text with â??[a]â?? followed by a tab character, and applied various formatting characteristics to each paragraph found (including outline level 9). I was successful during the recording process, but the resulting macro doesnâ??t work. Instead, I am informed that â??0 replacements were madeâ??. (Of course, I had restored the search target to the text.) The code, recorded automatically, is as follows: Sub i__DemotedByJAW() ' ' i__DemotedByJAW Macro ' Macro recorded 11/23/2007 by James Watson ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find.ParagraphFormat .SpaceBeforeAuto = False .SpaceAfterAuto = False .OutlineLevel = wdOutlineLevel8 End With Selection.Find.ParagraphFormat.Borders.Shadow = False Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find.Replacement.ParagraphFormat .LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(1.75) .SpaceBefore = 0 .SpaceBeforeAuto = False .SpaceAfter = 0 .SpaceAfterAuto = False .LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle .FirstLineIndent = InchesToPoints(0) .OutlineLevel = wdOutlineLevel9 .CharacterUnitLeftIndent = 0 .CharacterUnitFirstLineIndent = 0 .LineUnitBefore = 0 .LineUnitAfter = 0 End With Selection.Find.Replacement.ParagraphFormat.Borders.Shadow = False With Selection.Find .Text = "i.^t" .Replacement.Text = "[a]^t" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindAsk .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub Many thanks in advance for whomever assists me.

    - Passing Ms Word Data To Access I have built a MS Word 97 form that sends data in the bookmarks to a table in Access 97 when I click a command button on the Word form. With the help of Robert Morley, Thanks Rob, I am able to get the data into the Access table. The problem is that if a bookmark is a Date/ Time or Number and contains no data, I get the run time error 13 "Type Mismatch" message. If the bookmarks contain data or is a text field, the data fills the Access table fields just fine. I have placed data in all of the bookmarks and everything works. What code do I need to add to get this working I'm also wondering if the same thing will happen with the text bookmarks that have no data.

    - Macro problem with Word 2007 I paste a lot of pictures into my report, and I would like to size them each time I add a picture (picture format size heigh & width). I recorde a macro using Word XP with no problem. However, with Word 2007, I am having the following issues during recording (a cassette tape icon appears): 1) I cannot click on the picture to select 2) I use the keyboard to select the picture 3) I use the ribbon to access the picture formating toolbar and enter height & width 4) I stop the macro recorder When I do this, nothing gets recorded. Tried several different methods with no luck. The only time it does record something is if I type a word. Again, no macro records when I select the picture and try to do something with it. Very annoying. BTW, same results starting Winword /A. Thank you for your help in advance. Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107872

But when I try and reopen it, Word asks for the password. When I type in the password the template opens. But when it opens the AutoExec macro does not run. If I manually run the macro; it works fine. Itâ??s as if the AutoExec macro does run because the template is still protected some how. Any ideas on this would be helpful.

    - Bug: Problem when viewing headers/footers by double-clicking We have a macro in a special template that replaces the native ViewHeader logic in Word. Whenever a user clicks on the menu item 'View/Header and Footer', our macro kicks in. This has been working great since Word 2.0. We have just discovered a problem in Word 2003. If a user selects 'View/Print Layout' and then double-clicks in the header area of the page, Word opens the section for the user to edit (this is what we can't allow). I would have expected our macro to start but it appears that Word is running some other code (anyone know what is run when the header section is double-clicked). Also, the 'Header and Foote'r toolbar then appears and if the user clicks 'Close', Word runs the ViewHeader macro (which is completely backwards). This sure appears to be a bug in Word. Anybody know how to intercept the double-click on the header section and how to disconnect the close button on the toolbar from running the ViewHeader code?

    - How do I convert all older Word files on a server to 2007 format? Apparently a security fix in service pack 3 for Office is preventing older word files from being opened. When the users try to open they get a message: "You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting." I found an article regarding this at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849 We are going to apply the policy templates but my boss wants a better solution. He thinks that if Microsoft is blocking these files by default we cannot ensure there future in new versions of Office. What would be the best way of accomplishing an upgrade(conversion?) of all documents on a server to 2007 format? We were thinking possibly a VB or a VBA script, but there has to be a better way of accomplishing this. Thanks for any advice offered.

    - User Form duplicates information when sub is cancelled Hello all I have made a user form to populate a Word 2003 template. I have added a piece of code that exits the population of the document if the required fields aren't filled in, it reads like the sample below: If Len(Trim(cmbDiv.text)) <= 0 Or Len(Trim(cmbDept.text)) <= 0 Or Len(Trim(txtEMail.text)) <= 0 Then MsgBox "You must fill in all the required fields" Exit Sub ElectronicOption.Enabled = True End If The code works, however what happens is that if the code is exited the form has already placed some data in the template, and it duplicates it. So instead of for example seeing the Department name as "Sales and Marketing", you see it as "Sales and Marketing Sales and Marketing". I thought I would have to write something like me.refresh before Exit Sub, but I can't find anything in Word vba like that, I tried Repaint, but that didn't work. I think the problem is that the data is already there, and when the rest of the fields are filled in and the OK button clicked, the fact that some of the data was already there is not recognised, and in that case I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for all your help Aehan Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107846

    - document.Merge() gives inconsistent results (this is a copy of a post I sent to a couple other groups but haven't had a reply) hello, in office 2003, if you did document1.Merge(document2) it would report a line that is in document1 but not in document2 as inserted, and a line that is in document2 but not in document1 as deleted. i.e. it would assume that document1 is the "new" document and document2 is the "old" document. in office 2007 it is almost always the other way round i.e. assumes document1 is the old and document2 is the new (AFAICR this is the same as previous versions of office before 2003 used to do) no problem so far, I just detect in my application (c# .net 2.0 FWIW) which version of word I am connected to, and set the sense of the comparison accordingly HOWEVER, under office 2007, for some pairs of documents, I get the same result regardless of whether I call: document1.Merge(document2) or document2.Merge(document1) I.E. word 2007 is "intelligently" deciding which is the "new" and which is the "old". from my experiments it does not seem that this has to do with the file time stamp or the 'last saved' property. Does anyone know how word 2007 decides which is the newer document and if there is any way I can override it to force the sense of the comparison.

    - Trouble with First Page Different in a Word Document Macro I have a memo template with the company logo on the first page in a header and nothing in the footer. If the memo goes more than one page, from page 2 to the end have no header, but do have a footer with the page number and a smaller company logo. Because of this, First Page Different is checked off in Page Setup. Some people want to be able to insert a landscape table page into the middle of the document. When they section off the document to add these pages, the logo from the first page is displayed on their page. I am trying to create a macro to help the staff that are trying to do this, by having the macro insert the landscape page with the footer that is on all of the pages other than the first page (the page number and smaller logo), followed by a portrait page so they will be ready to type again. However, I cannot get the macro to stop putting in the logo from the first page, even though I have .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False. I only know how to create macros by example, so this is difficult for me. I hope you can help, because I've tried everything. Thank you for your time.

    - How alter word 2003 doc last page footer without altering other pa How can the last page footer of a Word 2003 document programmatically be altered without altering the other pages? A word template document is used with a visual basic program to generate over 26,000 individual word documents using details from a file. The individual word documents can have between 2-30 pages. The footer of this word template document contains a two cell table. Cell 1 of this table must contain a different value for the first, middle, and last pages of the word document. For example, the first page cell 1 must be 20. Last page cell 1 must be 10. The middle pages must be 00. The cell 1 values increment for each document and are not the same for each document. If a section break is manually or programmatically added before the footer of the last page, the first page either appears blank or it becomes section 1 with the rest of the pages becoming section 2 even though the goal was for the last page footer to become section 2. Inserting a page at the end of the document and then attempting the section break has the same results. How can a section break be forced before the last footer without impacting the other pages? -- J Smythee Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107804

    - Formatting based rendering of quotes How can I set up Word so that when I am in a Courier New font section, and type a single or double quote at the keyboard, it will use Ascii 39 (') or Ascii 34 ("), respectively? Details: I'm writing a document in word (Word 2003 on Win XP Pro) with the default Times New Roman, 12pt formatting. In some sections I am showing computer code, and for those sections I use Courier New, 10pt. The problem is that when I type a single quote or a double quote in the code sections, they come out as ?left leaning? or ?right leaning quotes? (ie matched quotes), instead of the 'straight' "quotes" (Ascii 39 and Ascii 34) that code parsers understand. And I'm getting sick of copying single/double quotes from prior code sections and overpasting them. Hence my question. Csaba Gabor from Vienna PS. I originally sent this during the past weekend, evidently in the midst of the "MI5 posting attack" and my Thunderbird newsreader showed it as sent, but it never showed up in the newsgroup. Anyone know what the story is on that? Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107799

    - Populating userform/sharing data I have two templates, each with their own userforms and they work just fine. Under certain conditions (a checkbox in userform1 = True) a new document based on template2 is created. Again this is working fine. The two documents/templates share a couple of pieces of info and the problem I'm having is populating userform2 with the relevant info from userform1. At the moment a command button on userform1 has the code to populate the bookmarks in template1. The code to test the creation of document2 is in the terminate event of userform1. The two templates must also remain separate, in that a new document can be created from template2 without anything to populate from template1. I hope that makes some sense! Any pointers will be gratefully appreciated. h. Tag: Combo Box without form protection Word 2003 Tag: 107780

    - VBA - code for border for a table In Word 97, I have the following code which takes the selected rows from a userform and inserts the data in table format into the Word document. Ideally, I would like the table to be indented at 2.5cm (that is, the left-hand border of column 1 is positioned at 2.5cm). What do I need to include into the code to position the table at that location? Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi everyone

I want to add a number of combo boxes to my document but I can't have form
protection turned on as the document is used by MS Navision as a template,
which won't work with any protection turned on. I tried using form
protection on just a section of the document, but this doesn't seem to be
possible.

Also, I only want the contents of the combo box to be printed (i.e. not the
combo-box itself).

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Thanks
Rebecca

No, it's not possible. To add comboboxes to the main document, you
must be able to protect, at least that section, else the cbox will not
function.

However, can you have a macro? If so, then you can build a userform
and move the combobox to it instead. After the user makes the
selections, the contents can be passed back to the document via
bookmarks.
