    - Problem with commenting highlighted words in tables Hi, In long documents I work with (several 100 pages), I need to highlight words that need to be reviewed. I do this using vba code. Next the user has to navigate from one highlighted text to another for review. To enable this I tried using the following code lines before the macro for highlighting the words: ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True ActiveDocument.ShowRevisions = True ( I used these lines on the assumption that trackrevisions would track the words that would be highlighted by the code that followed). As this did not work, I used the following code on the document to comment the highlighted words with comment text being the same as the highlighted text: Sub AddCommentstoHighlights() Dim oDoc As Document Dim s As String With Selection .HomeKey Unit:=wdStory With .Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "" .Highlight = True Do While .Execute Selection.Comments.Add Selection.Range, Selection.Text Loop End With End With End Sub The reason was commenting the highlighted text was to enable the Track changes feature for navigating betweenn the highlighted text (that would now get commented) This worked fine and was meeting my requirements till it encountered a document where the table had a highlighted cell. It failed at the line starting with "Selection.Comments" stating that the object was not supported end of table row or something similar. What would be the fix for this? Is there any other way of navigating between highlighted words in a document that mimics the functionality offerred by the Track changes feature? Thanks in advance for all the help.

    - insertfile and section breaks Hi, All -- I have a VBA program that inserts a file into the active document. This file might have a section break at the end, and if it does, it might be a page section break, or a continuous section break. But invariably, when the file is inserted using selection.insertfile, the section break becomes a page section break, no matter what kind of section break it was in the original file. Does anyone know why this is and what can be done to stop this from happening (or a workaround to "transparently" correct it after the fact)? I need the type of the section break to be maintained after the file insertion. TIA-- --larry Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115769

    - Working with Content Controls I'm an advanced Excel user now trying to get to grips with Word. I have created a structured document using Content Controls as the only user editable fields. I want to link some controls which contain common data. e.g. when the user enters the client name in a control, all the client name controls are updated. I couldn't work out an easy way to do this so resorted to VBA. Then within VBA, I couldn't work out how to reference a single content control so that I could use ClickOnExit just for that control.

    - Detecting partial contents in an array Hi, I have a 2-dimensional array associated to a table. The array contains the same data that's in the table and in the same order. Column 9 contains data like: "CI, HGP, MI" or any combination and permutation of these three words, but there's always at least one of them. Is it possible to detect whether a particular cell in Column 9 of the array CONTAINS one of these words in particular. Just to clarify, I'm not trying to read the whole content of the cell, so reading directly from array(i,j) does not work. I need something like: If array(i,j) contains "HGP" then .... In this case, even if the actual content of array(i,j) is "MI, HGP" and not exactly "HGP", it'll go through the if. I know there's is not such a thing as contains, but I'm asking if there's a way to accomplish what this would do. Thank you Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115759

    - MkDir command doesn't work 2nd time I am creating a Word 2003 template with a userform where multiple product specifications can be selected from a list box. Elsewhere in the form, the user also chooses what project the specifications are for, along with what department (Engineering, Plumbing, etc., for example) is requesting them. Upon clicking OK, an existing Word document containing those specifications is found, opened, updated, then saved to that projectâ??s Spec subfolder in a subfolder of Spec based on the department. As an example, if the spec is called Steel Reinforcement, the project is ABC Waterpark (which has a folder on our P: drive) and the requesting department is Engineering, clicking OK will save the resulting Word document to this location: P:\ABC Waterpark\Specs\Engineering\Steel Reinforcement.doc. Iâ??ve written most of the code to do this. However, hereâ??s my glitch: For the several hundred projects on our P: drive, most do not have a Specs subfolder (and consequently, no departmental subfolder(s) like Engineering either). Iâ??m trying to use the MkDir command to create them when necessary. If there is no Specs subfolder, my MkDir code below successfully creates it. But if an Engineering (or any other department) subfolder needs creating after the Spec folder is, I get a run-time error 4172 Path Not Found. Funny thing is, if I go into the Immediate Window and run the MkDir command, it works! Any thoughts on why the second MkDir command results in an error? I'm sure my code can be vastly improved. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me! Sub SaveSelectedSpec (Path, SpecName, RequestingDept) ' Called by: Private Sub cmdOK_Click ' Purpose: Saves all documents selected in opening form to a departmental ' subfolder within the desired P: drive projectâ??s Specs subfolder. If Specs does not â?? exist, create it first, then also create the appropriate departmental subfolder of ' Specs to place the selected Word Document in. â?? Coming into this procedure, the above variable values are as follows: â?? Path = â??20080050 â?? ABC Waterparkâ?? (all projects have a folder on our P: drive) â?? SpecName = â??Steel Reinforcement.docâ?? â?? RequestingDept = â??Engineeringâ?? On Error GoTo NoSpecsFolder â?? if Specs folder doesnâ??t exist, error will execute code to create one ' (this is working as desired) ChangeFileOpenDirectory "P:\" & Path & "\Specs\ " GoTo CreateSubDept â?? if Specs folder exists, then create the department subfolder NoSpecsFolder: 'Creates a new Specs folder if none currently exists MkDir "P:\" & Path & "\Specs\" â?? again, this command works as desired CreateSubDept: On Error GoTo NoDeptFolder â?? if the Requesting Dept. subfolder does not exist, ' error will execute code to create one ChangeFileOpenDirectory "P:\" & Path & "\Specs\" & RequestingDept & "\" â??this is ' where the run-time error 4172 Path Not Found pops up, rather than going to the ' NoDeptFolder command line. At this point, I can paste the MkDir command below ' into the Immediate Window, and it works! But why not here??? GoTo SaveDoc â?? if dept. folder exists, then save document there NoDeptFolder: 'Creates a new Dept subfolder withing Specs if none exists MkDir "P:\" & Path & "\Specs\Specs\" & RequestingDept & "\" SaveDoc: ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:= _ SpecName, FileFormat:= _ wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _ True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _ False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False Exit Sub End Sub -- Steve C Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115718

    - Using Open Statement Hi, I'm trying to export data from Excel to a text file using the open statement. My problem is that I have to create multiple files using some of the data itself to make up the file name. I can get the basic functionality to work and have used it before but haven't had any luck inserting variables for the filename itself. I can't find any documentation that specifically states it's possible or not possible but I haven't found any examples either. No matter what variation I try, I get a bad file name error. Here's the code I'm using: vFilename = vInternalExternal & "-" & vLastName4Char & "-" & vAdNumber & "-" & vDateTime & "-" & vRequistionNumber & ".txt" vFullFilename = ActiveWorkbook.Path & vFilename Open vFullFilename For Append As #1 Print #1, vAllFields Close #1 Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    - Catching the New Page event in VBA I am developing an MS Word (xp) template for a corporate letterhead that will automatically insert the reference number (already stored in a variable from the first page) into the header of the second (and subsequent) pages. I am aware that there is no "new page" event in Word that can be caught. The solution I am working on involves checking the 'ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("number of pages")' property and running the code as soon as the page number has incremented. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way of checking this value each time the user types a new character. Here is the code I am using at this time : Option Explicit Private WithEvents wdApp As Word.Application Dim page1 As Integer Dim page2 As Integer 'This line is executed during the loading of the document page1 = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("number of pages") Private Sub wdApp_WindowSelectionChange(ByVal Sel As Selection) page2 = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("number of pages") If page2 > page1 Then MsgBox "Now on page " & Format(page2) 'Do the necessary operation here... . . . End If End Sub Unfortunately, the above sub is only works when I click with the mouse anywhere in the document. I tried other subs from the same set and I thought that 'wdApp_DocumentChange()' would be the one to use, but this dosen't work either. Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I can trap the 'new character event' (if there is one) and to check if the page number has changed ? Any help will be greatly appreciated !

    - Form fields in a template I have a variety of templates using form fields. I need to import specific data into some of the form fields and the form needs to remain as a template after the data is imported and separate templates need to be created after the import. It must be locked for some sections as the user needs to be able to fill-in the form fields. I have run into quite a few stumbling blocks. I can't use a mail merge because it strips my field codes out that are not being populated and the mail merge does not seem to work with templates. Is there any other way I can populate form fields (or bookmarks) with data from an excel workbook? I did get one reply with a suggestion that is probably good for creating one document, however, I didn't get a reply after providing the following additional information. I need to take the one template and generate 500+ templates using records from an excel spreadsheet, (personalizing the templates). Then the templates will be used by office staff to complete online.

    - 2007 templates I'm using Word 2007.

However, the template is NOT in use. If this template was stored in my start-up folder, I could understand perhaps why I'd be getting this message since these are loaded every time you open Word.

    - Help with autoexec I have a template that is saved on a sharepoint site and used by many different people.

Previously i would have iterated over the string until i found a carriage return / line feed character but after discovering the joys of the Word Range object (thanks to the contributions in this group!) I thought there must be a much more elegant solution. Which i thought would be along the lines of Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115647

    - Find each text box I want a way for a user to find each text box in the main story of a multi-section document - kind of like 'browse by object' for text boxes - so they can see whether or not the box should be deleted. I don't see the option for searching for shapes in find, and I don't want to do anything with the text boxes except maybe select them if necessary. Any suggestions would be most appreciated, but I'm not an experienced vba writer so comments associate with the code would really help. -- Thanks, Jen Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115640

    - Bookmark REF Field I have a template with several Form Fields. I would like to put in a FormField that is automatically filled in with data that comes form three other bookmarks. this FormField is a Report ID. The Report ID would be made up from three different Bookmarks/Fields that the user fills in, such as UserInitials, FiscalYear and State. The Review ID would automatically update to ELB2008CA after the user enters the data for UserInitials, FiscalYear and State. Does anyone know how I could do this?

    - Word 2007 formatting from elements/fields disapear L.s, I use the Dutch version, so I hope I translated the menu's fine. Also i wonder if this is the right group for this question? I have made a template for users en put the new "besturingselementen" elements where the user can put in text, in the template. I fount this on the developer tab, group elements and then the new ones (not the old 2003 or really old 1998). I choose the element without formatting and set it up to "disappear" when the user changes the default text. It works fine until here. I want to mark the places where the user need to make changes, I mark the default text which is in the field/element with the "yellow text marker". Now the user can easily see where to make changes. What works really nice is that when the user chances the text, the element AND the marking will disappear. I don't know if this is intended or a "undocumented feature" but it's a great option. And now the big problem: In my documents there are many elements when I change the marking for some of them it's looking fine, but when a save, exit and reopen the file, the marking for other elements is gone. I tested for several hours but can't find some logic in it. I tried: - change the marking in developer mode (yes/no). for the elements. - In developer mode when changing the marking include/exclude the label marking round the element (where the text you can put in as "label" is placed). - Give every element a unique label name - etc. It drives me really nut's, I can't find any logic. Does anyone know a solution for this puzzle Manny thanks Peter Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115626

    - Formatting seems to pass from Form Fields to repeated fields Hi All Again, I'm using Form textboxes to enable a user to enter repetitive info in one place and then use ref fields to display this info in various places such as textboxes, table cells, etc, when the user tabs out of the relevant form textbox. My problem is that the initial form textboxes are something like 16 pt bold, which they need to be and for some reason this formatting also goes to the repeating fields, which is no good because I want the repeating fields to remain in their pre-set states of 10pt normal, 9pt normal, etc. Any ideas how I stop the formatting coming across?

    - How to auto-display the forms toolbar and a macro to click on Hi All Having real trouble finding out how to do this. Basically I have done a Word doc that uses Form fields so that I can auto-copy the contents of say 20 form fields into designated areas of the remaining doc. My problem is that textboxes don't seem to auto-update when the user has tabbed out of a form field (cells in tables do), so I've a little VBA macro function that goes through all of the references and forces them to update - inc the textboxes. My problem is that I need the user to click the padlock icon on the forms toolbar to unlock the doc so that the user can then click on this macro to run it. This 'unclick padlock then click Macro' procedure has to be done for each copy of the Word doc template that they use, but the user is fine with that. My functional problem is that I: a) Can't get the Forms toolbar to be already displayed when the user opens the copy doc from the template. b) Can't get my Macro to appear as a clickable toolbar/item/button when the user opens the copy doc from the template. Although displaying the Forms toolbar isn't too much of an onerous task for the user, ie they go View / Toolbars / Forms, getting the Macro to appear on the menu/toolbar is way too much hassle. Is there no way, either via VBA or something even more simpler, I can get these details to auto-display as the user opens the copy doc? Thanks Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115608

    - Create Table of Changes I have multiple people reviewing multiple copies of the same document. I need to merge all reviewed documents into a final document wich will be created by taking the original document and adding the suggestions / changes added in the appropriate places. I am an excel VBA programmer & so far I can make a table of revisions (using track changes) and a table of comments, but am unsure how to tag their original location so that I can put them all back where they came from. I would prefer to use revisions (needs only to work for inserted revisions) but I could use comments as well. Any insight / help would be appreciated. Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115605

    - save email message I am trying to create the following sub to save an email message as an Excel file. The Sub does search through the outlook folder and saves the message as "Daily Processing Report.xls", but I get an error when trying to open it, "File Format invalid". I am able to do this manually by opening the message and doing a file save as and typing "Daily Processing Report.xls" and it opens just fine. But when I do it manually it also saves a folder with the same name and in it it has two xml files and one file with .thmx extension.

    - Date Field Clear sGood Afternoon, After checking the previous posts, I didn't see anything that quite fit what I'm looking to do and I'm hoping someone can still help. The first program below fills in two different ranges in the doc (one with the user id and the other with the date). Unfortunately, it was brought to my attention that someone might be a drooling moron and click on the box by accident which would require a clear function. The second program I tried to set up works to clear the Text Range (BMRange), but will not clear the Date Field (BMRange1). I've tried several variations and the best I can come up with what's below where it only deletes the first text character. Any thoughts on how to get it to delete the whole date line? Thanks in advance - Jenny B.

    - Cloning document content to new docs I'm using the Word Object Model to work with the body of a new e-mail message in Outlook 2007. My goal is to simply clone the active e-mail into one or more copies (the recipients from the source will each get their own copy of the original, which will be trashed). I'm tried using Document.Select, then Application.Copy on the source e-mail, followed by Document.Activate, Document.Select (the Document objects are specific to the cloned item, not the source), Application.Selection.WholeStory and then Application.Selection.PasteAndFormat(wdPasteDefault) on each newly cloned e-mail. However, there are times when I get a locked for editing warning and the cloning fails - empty message body; this occurs inconsistently. Is there a better approach to cloning the contents of a Document object in situations like this where the documents are not file based? -- Eric Legault [MVP - Outlook] MCDBA, MCTS (Messaging & Collaboration, SharePoint Infrastructure, MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0 Application Development) President Collaborative Innovations -> Try Picture Attachments Wizard 2.0 For Microsoft Outlook <- -> Take your SharePoint content offline <- -> More info: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca <- Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault Tag: Command Bars Tag: 115593

All of the sudden, one of my computers running the same VBA program that I
successfully run on 10 other computers has stopped creating Command Bars.
The code is:

Set mybar = CommandBars.Add(name:="MyNewBar", Position:=msoBarFloating,
Temporary:=True)

Is there a setting in the registry that anyone knows of that may have been
corrupted?

Thanks
