    - Pathname for IncludeText for server file -network disk IncludeText for Word 2003 needs a pathname to define where the file is. It works well (with the double \\'s) if the file is on the originating PC. Does not work if on Networked Disk. Looking at DocProperties & Explorer, etc. only gives "\\Server\documents\filename But doesn't \Network or something need to be prefixed too ? Or maybe 3 \\\'s or something ? Or maybe C:\\Users\\owner\\Desktop\\Network\\Server\\documents\\filename... ALL examples show as C: ... etc. So maybe C:\Network\Server... or similar ?

    - Auto Filling Headers I am creating a template for memo's and other transmittals and need to come up with a way to make whatever is written in the subject, project, and date fields at the top of the document to auto populate in the header of each subsequent page. I have a feeling this will be accomplished with bookmarks and REF fields, but beyond that I am completely stumped. Thanks for the help. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104977

    - Font showing smaller I have this strange problem. Of a set of 5 identical textboxes (there are each other's copies) 2 show a smaller font when the form is active. The font used is Tahoma normal 8pt, but it shows as 6-7pt. Deleting one and copying a correct one does not change this effect. Is looks the same as the 8pt boxes when I change the font to 9pt. I ran the form on mutiple PC's, same result. Can't figure it out. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104969

    - text box info depending on what is selected in a dropdown Hi there, this is my first post. I have to change my company's letterhead. At the moment it is on a basic word template so the secretary just has to type her boss' name next to the "please ask for" but my boss wants to change it so that each manager's direct dial number is shown underneath their particular name, so i've started a userform but am at a loss for what to do now!! I was wondering if i could create a dropdown or combo box that shows each manager and then depending on whoever gets selected, their individual direct dial will show up in a text box? I have had a scout round the groups but to be honest, i am really not sure how to go about this. Sorry if this has already been asked - as i said, i have searched the groups but cant really see anything. Any help would be most appreciated Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104964

    - Determining length of line Word 2000 I want to use something other than the 3 characters provided as tab leader options. As an old C programmer, I outlined the algorithm I would use, but don't know if VBA has the right methods. If a method could return the 'length' of a line of text using a variable width font and then subtract that from the total length available (left margin to the leader tab), you could then divide that length by the width of my leader character to determine how many to insert. I am just thinking out of the box ;-) I imagine VBA can tell me the number of characters in a line, but for a non-fixed-width font, that won't help. I need it in pixels, or points, inches or some other "real" unit. Then it would need to iterate through each line of the selection and do the actual replacement. Possible?

    - Creating, Populating, and Using a 2-dimensional array I used to write in VB quite a bit (back in the 90s) but haven't had occasion to write anything in a while. Now I am trying to get my head back in the game. After surmounting the loss of Application.FileSearch with six hours of frustration until I found the Dir() command I thought I would ask a basic question prior to jumping into the frustration again. I have a set of files (143) that I have created using VB and three templates. The files are all named cryptically, for example: A26Checklist.doc A27Studyoutline.doc B01checklist.doc B02checklist.doc B03studyoutline.doc What I would like to do is cycle through the 143 files in the folder, open each one, take the first three characters of the document name, fill a variable with a text string based on the first three characters, do a little searching and replacing with the text string, and then close the document in question. I know how to cycle through the files using Dir(pathname & "*.doc). I know how to use the Mid() command to get my text strings out of the doc.name. I know how to do the searching and replacing once I have the text string in variable. But for some reason my aging brain isn't getting the right code for setting up and populating the array. I tried to get around the question by just creating a giant "Select Case" statement, but unfortunately VB won't let me do that inside of the "For...Next" loop that I wanted to do to go through the Dir()'s. The 3-character names and text strings all are unique: A26 = "EmergencyResponse" A27 = "Board Operation" B01 = "Unit Overview" B02 = "Unit Utilities" B03 = "Tank Gauging" This seems to be a natural two-dimensional array. The question is how do I define it and populate it? Then how do I get VB to give me, for example, "Tank Gauging" for the B03 code? I did a lot of searching in the internet before I thought to come look into Microsoft's online community. So perhaps I am just frustrated and should read all the strings in here. I would appreciate any help. Bill Dannenmaier Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104961

    - Create references to template files Hi We currently have a template (add-in) that runs when Word starts. It creates some new menus and shortcuts to other templates. A lot of our templates contain a AutoNew macro which does the same in all the templates. I would like to insert the AutoNew code in one template file and the call the code from all the other files. The only way I can see how to make a reference is in the Visual Basic editor under Tools -> References. But it seems to be a static reference I create, and I want to place the template containing all the macros in each users folder. The big question is....... Is there another way to create the references, i.e. with a function? Best regards Lasse Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104953

    - shortcut or macro for "Paste Unformatted Text" I would like to create either a keyboard shortcut or a macro for Paste>Paste Special>Unformatted Text. The problem I have is that when I get to the command, I cannot stop the macro recorder; hence, when I play the macro it doesn't work. I'd like to do the same thing for "add entry to autocorrect." In Word 2003 I had keyboard shortcuts for both of these and they saved me lots of time. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104949

    - Checking for the existence of a Macro Here's a curly one for you all! I have a series of standard 'office practice' type templates (Fax, Letter, Memo, etc.) all of which contain code for creating the document in the first place. This code saves the input in document variables to allow the code to be rerun should the user get to the end and realise they forgot something. The rerun code works a treat - or at least it does in the one prototype template that I've done so far. ;) I also have a global 'toolkit' type template that's designed to make doing some key functions easier or just make Word work like it should work: e.g. insert/delete a landscape section without stuffing up everything; apply bullets/numbering using the 'List' styles instead of whatever Word wants to use; copy/reset the standard styles in a document. This works really well, too. But now for the tricky part... I know I could provide access to the rerun macro in each template in a variety of ways: add a custom button a standard toolbar or create a custom toolbar for each template or some such. However, since I'd rather not mess around with any of the standard toolbars (and have my Rerun Template button get lost in the clutter) and since I don't want to create a bunch of 1-button toolbars and since the toolkit already has a custom toolbar, what I'd really rather do is have a button on the Toolkit toolbar for invoking the rerun macro. But I have some concerns and questions. First, as would be expected, if just add a button to the Toolkit toolbar for the rerun macro in a specific template, it only works with a document based on that particular template. And since there are 11 templates, I would have to add 11 buttons and then trust the users (stop LAUGHING!!!) to click the right one or try to trap errors or show/hide buttons based on the attached template for a document... and I don't even want to think about what would happen if there were multiple documents open... GAHHH!!! So I reckon a better approach would be to have a macro (and associated button) in the toolkit template that just calls the rerun macro in the attached template. I can guarantee that the name of the macro in each template would be the same, so that's no problem. However, I'm concerned/unclear about: 1) how to check that the attached template does indeed contain a rerun macro; and 2) the actual syntax for calling the macro in the attached template. Suggestions? Recommendations? Or have I just spent too much time with the sheep and am now delusional to even consider it? -- Cheers!

    - Macro list drop down Hello, I think this is a really silly question but...I have created a form and within the form I have a text field for which I want to add a macro when a user enters the field. So I clicked on the drop down to pick the macro and I noticed that the way macros are listed makes no sense at all. The macros in normal.dot are for the most part just listed by themselves, i.e. without mentioning the module they're in. But then one of them is listed as <module name>.<macro name>. Some of the other listings sometimes include the name of the template, sometimes not. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how macros are listed. Could someone clarifiy this for me? Thanks very much. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104920

    - Understanding IncludePicture I have a report that pulls a button image from a specified directory, my command: {includepicture "C\{mergefield inventory#}.jpg \*mergeformat} - this almost works. The two problems that I have are 1) I would like to specify the size of the box that the image is pulled into. These images are all buttons, but when the image is pulled into the document, I have a large box with a small image and now the table is no longer the size that I have created it to be. Is there a way that I can draw a box and import the button image into it?? 2) My other problem is when the report merges, I have to refresh the document to bring in the images?

    - Using ActiveDocument.GoTo in a loop I've got a document with 3 table of contents levels and I want to reduce this to 1 level. I know that the table of contents is defined byTC fields in 3 consecutive paragraphs. So I want to replace the TC field in the first paragraph by the new text, delete the TC fields in the next 2 paragraphs, then move on to the next TC field. It's the last part I can't figure out. I can get the contents of the first TC field using: Dim aRange As Range Set aRange = ActiveDocument.GoTo(what:=wdGoToField, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Name:="TC") I can then make the modifications, but how would I move on to the next TC field? I can use: Set aRange = ActiveDocument.GoTo(what:=wdGoToField, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:="TC") But how can I test if the GoTo was successful? Is there a property of aRange I can use to loop through all the TC fields of the document until all have been modified or deleted? Because I'm going to delete fields, I can't use the "for each fld in activedocument.fields" approach. Any other suggestions?

    - How to link to a field in a tabel from a header? Programming or?

    - PasteOptions to preserve formatting of Word 2000 document Hi, I'm using Word Automation to generate word document which can be opened in Word 2000 or higer versions. I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2005 and the word 2000 related OLB, dlls to achieve this. I'm trying to generate a master word document which is formed from 1 or more small word documents. The problem i'm facing is Word 2000 doesnt provide the "Paste Options" to preserve formatting from the source document when we copy & paste into the master document. This can only be achieved using Word 2003. Paste Special feature in Word 2000 also not helping me to preserve all formats/styles from the source document. Source document will be always .RTF file. Please let me know whether there is any work around for this problem in Word 2000. i tried all the following approaches : 1) _Application.Selection.Range.Paste(); to paste the content into the master document, 2) Application.Selection.InsertFile to insert small word document into the master document, 3) _Application.Selection.PasteSpecial and the parameter for DataType i used is WdPasteDataType.wdPasteRTF. None of them provided the intended results. If anyone can help me in this regard, i'll be very much thankful. Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Ram. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104873

    - Word 2007 Programming? I've been reading about some of the programming and new document types with Office 2007. Currently we use an addin that enables all of our templates to merge data via DDE from the primary CRM application. I may need to replace Office 2000 with Office 2007 and port this VBA addin to the new Office 2007. I'd like to know if the .Net version is capable of instantiating DDE when a template is launched? Can I simply port the current addin dot to Office 2007 dot by copy paste into a new Office 2007 template? I think that the .Net version works with the new document types and may contain the code in an assembly centrally located; I'm hoping that the older .dot files are compatible with Office 2000 as far as the VBA is concerned are still capable of being installed in the startup folder, any info would be helpful.

I have an iPaq H5555 using Windows Mobile 2003 and I also have onto my desktop Word 2007 and I CANNOT USE THE TWO PROGRAMS! How incredibly stupid is that? I have no problem whatsoever using Adobe Acrobat but windows devices cannot see or open the other program. Wow. How do I open Word 2007 documents onto my Windows Mobile device? Do I have to buy a NEW Windows Mobile device? Or is a 'patch' available? Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104856

    - Can I modify, or create new, buttons in the quick access toolbar I would like to create a modified version of the "print" button to the Quick Access Toolbar in MS Word 2007 - where the modified button will trigger an macro that I set up to print to a different tray in my printer. What is the default location of these graphic files for the buttons, and can I use Photoshop, for example, to create a modified version? Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104851

    - Form Button Hello all, im having a little problem running a macro for e-mail automation on a word document. When creating sheets in excel i used the option button on the forms panel. In my version of word (2003), i can't find the form button, only the controls 'command button'. I have assigned the 'Sub' code for my macro to the command button but don't know how to get it to work. Previously in excel i created the form button, right clicked and 'Assigned macro'. Can anyone please tell me if the option on the forms toolbar does exist? If not then how do i make it work on a Controls command button? Can provide more detail if required. Thanks in advance Andrewbt Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104835

    - Turning Off Same as Previous Just a heads up, VBA knowledge: low novice Aside from manually going into each Header or Footer and deselecting Same as Previous (the bane of Word's existence) does anyone out there have a macro to do it in one sweep (taking out every designation in all Headers and Footers). Had one in my previous job, but did not think to take it with me. Thanks in advance. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104823

    - how to move text around in a word doc without copy and paste? I have an application I'm writing that needs to move text from one place in a word doc to another. A simple enough process but it's proving to be difficult to get just right. Right now I have it *working* using cut and paste. The only problem with this is that, as their names imply, these methods actually use the Windows clipboard. This won't work for me as I don't want people to have to be aware of the fact that while this utility is running they cannot use the clipboard for anything or the application will mess up their documents. In my application I find and select a range of text. Then on the range I say Cut(). I know that on the same range object I have a property named "Text". The problem I have with using this is that the specific text I am moving has merge fields in it. They look something like this "{merge field}". When I try to read the text property of a range that has a merge field in it, instead of getting the above text, I get boxes where the "{" and "}" characters are. So, using the Text property to move the text around actually changes the text to something unusable. Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks much Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104815

    - NEWBIE:splitting multi-page word doc into single word doc - thank Hi, Environment: Windows XP/ home edition; sp2 Office 2000 [no help installed and no cd to install help :-( ] experience: newbie to vba, c coding experience This request is free of charge for a friend who would do anything for anyone. His hard drive of clients was hosed and is able to retrive it from another source. Unfortunately, the files retrieved are not named properly and incompatible with his business operations. Problem description/vba coding segment requested: Over 60 documents named xxxxxnnnn.doc that contain client info, delimited with over 65 page breaks. Within each page break contains the client info, which needs to be extracted into their own word document, and take on the name: client_name_date_of_service.doc to easily distinguish it. Relevant client information (including ultimate file name) is contained within each page break in the larger document. Last record in original file may not contain the page break, but I'd still like to be able to capture this one as well. Filename containing relevant client information should be of the form client_name_date_of_service.doc (this information is contained within each page break) Objective: - Cycle through all the word documents (approx 60 files) in a given folder -for each large document file (over 60 files) -- start the splitting process - open each file - for each page break found (between 65 - 80 page breaks) - for each paragraph in each page break - capture the first line of each page [this is the client name] - for each paragraph [search for the string "date"] - generate the client name (eg.joe_smith_1_24_07.doc) and save in a string variable - capture the entire page ---> including final page break for each page ---- select the contents of this page break and copy the entire page, including trailing page break [if absolutely necessary,] into client_name_date_of_service.doc. (eg. joe_smith_1_24_07.doc) - next [for each page break until no more page breaks in this file -- note: the final client info. may not contain the trailing page break, but I'd still like to be able to capture it and store it in its proper clientname_date_of_appt.doc - next [for each file containing all the client data within the page breaks] - close/properly dispose of any allocated resources - error handler to close/dispose to determine the cause of the failure and properly shutdown the application. ?? any additional steps that I've neglected to mention. I enjoy helping people and learning new things. Many thanks to all who take the time to share their time and talents by responding witih the code capable of accomplishing this task.

    - Replacing Text w/Autotext - Graham, Gred, Ed, Rus Hi Graham, I did not try your code since your original response (way back when) mentioned replacing entries [A], [B] with Include Text Fields using a document to hold variable info with bookmarked items then an alternate method was to put the variable info in individual documents, etc. It was getting a little bit hairy and out of control with bookmarks, documents, etc. Then Greg came in with the Array Code and it was compact (in that I wasn't having to bookmark items or flip through various docs) and then there was a slew of dialog amongst yourselves (you, Greg, Ed, Russ) that I wasn't quite sure what you guys were talking about "Option Explicit", etc. And then you made a comment "but I wonder if this would confuse beginners even more" which hit the nail on the head - you guys were assuming a level of knowledge that I did not possess - and while the dialog was interesting, there was one statement that Greg made in response to Ed (I tried Ed's solution but I'm sure that was error on my part) that caught my attention and that I had a sense of being right - he said, "I still think I would use the array though instead of having all of the routines and passing variablesâ?? (it was similar to me not wanting to do the bookmarking and various documents you suggested). It seemed like too much "stuff" for a simple task. I knew there had to be simpler way and it seemed that Greg was on the cusp with the solution for me. I hadn't tried your method (vFindText = Array) because in our previous communications between us it seemed that I couldnâ??t get past the Autotext code/Autotext entry issue. So, since I was getting so many attempts from various individuals, I stuck with Greg because it seemed right to me (despite my limited knowledge). And, by the way, the â??tagsâ?? [A], [B], etc. that are being used in my documents are [AB], [ABA], [OB], etc. I only used [A]â??s [B]â??s as examples for simplicity. I did, indeed, replace the text I needed to find in Gregâ??s my Array statement. So, long story short â?? itâ??s a tremendous plus to know the skill level of your audience. As Iâ??ve mentioned in various other posts â?? Iâ??ve taken programming courses eons ago â?? Assembly, Cobol so I have knowledge of Ifâ??s, Thenâ??s, Else, Loops, etc., but I do not speak VBA â?? my VBA is like my Spanish. I can conjugate some verbs and know a few sentences here and there, but stick me in Spain for a couple of months and Iâ??m going to have to resort to speaking English and drawing pictures to express myself. Oh, and pass onto Susan â?? my husbandâ??s not the sharing type either â?? was sort of a metaphorical way of expressing my delight. Thanks Graham and all of you out there. You are appreciated. Sorry if I disappointed you Graham, Ed and Russ. Tag: Convert footnotes to ordinary text Tag: 104803

Hello,

I have a large document with several hundred footnotes. I'm looking
for a code to replace the footnote reference with the actual footnote
text. Any ideas on where to start?

Hi Fredrik

The following should get you started:

Sub ReplaceFootnotesWithTheirText()

Dim nCounter As Long
Dim fn As Word.Footnote
Dim rngFN As Word.Range

For nCounter = ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count To 1 Step -1
'Get a reference to our footnote
Set fn = ActiveDocument.Footnotes(nCounter)

'Work out where to copy the text
Set rngFN = fn.Reference
rngFN.Collapse wdCollapseEnd

'Copy the text of the footnote into the body of the document
rngFN.FormattedText = fn.Range.FormattedText

'Delete the footnote
fn.Delete

Next nCounter

End Sub

Hope this helps.
