    - Mail merge from Excel to Word Hi, I am trying to figure out how to right the code to perform a mail merge from excel to a word file. The excel source is about 20 columns and the number of rows will vary. Each item will be on a separate row with each column representing information about that item. I would like each item to be on it's own page in the word document. I was thinking of creating a word template that would be a starting point and then doing a catalog type merge. any help with the code, especially the new page for each row of data would be appreciated.

    - Updating autotext I have a variety of autotext entries. Unfortunately, we have to constantly revise and update these autotext entries back to the template (or even add new entries). It's hard to explain to others how to do this. So... here's my problem. I'd like to use VBA to create a menu that would walk people through the process (highlighting the correct text, automatically selecting the correct template, etc...). Has someone already done this? Right now, I was pondering having a button on the main menu (it's this whole big menu we have for inserting spec entries, not to worry about that part) that says "update entry", then when you click that button, the main menu is hidden while a msgbox pop up that says "highlight text".You would press okay to get rid of the message box, highlight the text, then... then... then I get a bit lost. I want it to then pull up the resident wdDialogEditAutoText dialog box, but and have it set automatically to the correct template (I think that will get rid of a lot of confusion) but don't know how to force the dialog box to set to a specific template in the "Look in" area. I also don't know how you would go from highlighting text to bringing up this dialog box. If you need clarification on what I'm trying to do, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance! -- -Kirsten Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields? Tag: 58224

    - Error 462 problem. I've written an Access 2000 app which creates some Word documents. There is one place that it errors randomly on error 462 - The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable.

    - FilePrint Question Word 2000 I have the following subroutine: Sub FilePrint() Message = "FilePrint" PrintRecords End Sub My goal here is to have FilePrint run every time the document is printed, no matter how the user prints the document. When I select "Print" from the File menu, or use CTRL+P, I get the "FilePrint" message, indicating that the FilePrint routine ran. However, if I print by clicking the Print button on the toolbar, I get no message at all, but the document still prints, indicating that the FilePrint routine is not running when the Print button on the toolbar is used. Is there a way to intercept the print operation when the user clicks the Print button on the toolbar? I've searched in the VB Help and have come up empty. Currently, the only solution I can think of is to create a custom toolbar that is identical to the Standard toolbar, except that the Print button would call the FilePrint macro. -- Tom State of Montana Department of Justice Help Desk "Making the world a safer place."

    - Best way to check if doc exists? I know there are a couple of different ways to see if a document exists (before I throw an error trying to do something with it!), but I'm wondering if there is a "best" way - that is, one most likely to behave nicely in just about any routine I stick it into. The path will always be the same on any user's computer - with their username inserted, of course - so I could use that. I've done different things - some quite by accident - in other code: set an object to a doc that isn't there and trap the lack of an object name; try to open it and trap the error; and such like. I tried Exists, but that doesn't seem to work for documents. Any suggestions? Ed Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields? Tag: 58190

    - Links should update when you "Save As"? I have links of the form: { LINK MyClass.Image Document1 "_1159793036\\Spot 1" \a \t \* MERGEFORMAT } (for example). The document I created to hold the links was called "Document1". When I save the document as, say, "gianttestreport.doc" and then reload it, Word says I have links referring to other documents in my file. I assume its because it doesn't automatically change "Document1" in the links to refer to the current documents new name after saving. Is there any way around this?

    - Events with Application Object Word 2003 The &%*$&*% Help files! I am trying to use events with the Application object. The Help page entitled "Using Events with the Application Object" has the following as the last step: *************** Initialize the Declared Object Before the procedure will run, you must connect the declared object in the class module (App in this example) with the Application object. You can do this with the following code from any module. Dim X As New EventClassModule Sub Register_Event_Handler() Set X.App = Word.Application End Sub Run the Register_Event_Handler procedure. After the procedure is run, the App object in the class module points to the Microsoft Word Application object, and the event procedures in the class module will run when the events occur. ************** I copied the above code into an ordinary module. 1. First of all, where do you really put the Dim statement? If you copy/paste the code as is, the Dim statement ends up above the dividing line, directly below the "End Sub" line of the previous procedure. This results in a Compile error. 2. To get things moving, I moved the Dim statement below the "Sub Register_Event_Handler()" line (i.e to the second line of the code). This results in the following error: "User-defined type not defined." (For your reference, the Help page that this leads to is reproduced below.) MY QUESTION: What steps do I need to take to resolve this error? Which (if any) of the three choices on the Help page, below, is most appropriate? Thanks very much. Jay **********Help page************************* User-defined type not defined You can create your own data types in Visual Basic, but they must be defined first in a Type...End Type statement or in a properly registered object library or type library. This error has the following causes and solutions: - You tried to declare a variable or argument with an undefined data type or you specified an unknown class or object name. Use the Type statement in a module to define a new data type. If you are trying to create a reference to a class, the class must be visible to the project. If you are referring to a class in your program, you must have a class module of the specified name in your project. Check the spelling of the type name or name of the object. - The type you want to declare is in another module but has been declared Private. Move the definition of the type to a standard module where it can be Public. - The type is a valid type, but the object library or type library in which it is defined isn't registered in Visual Basic. Display the References dialog box, and then select the appropriate object library or type library. For example, if you don't check the Data Access Object in the References dialog box, types like Database, Recordset, and TableDef aren't recognized and references to them in code cause this error. ************************ Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields?

If I try to do a find/replace using a string such as "C#", I get an error: "The Find What text for a Find All Word Forms search can only contain alphabetic letters.".

Here's my code (this code highlights all instances of "text" in red/bold): Object oReplaceAll = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll; Object oText = text; Object oReplaceText = text; wordDoc.Select(); msWord.Selection.Find.Text = oText.ToString(); msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Text = oReplaceText.ToString(); msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Bold = 1; msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Color = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor.wdColorRed; msWord.Selection.Find.Execute(ref oText, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oTrue, ref oTrue, ref oFalse, ref oTrue, ref oReplaceText, ref oReplaceAll, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); You can do what I want from within word itself - how do you call find/replace and allow non-alphabetic characters? - Dave Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields?

    - Is VBA/Word slow...or is it just the way I did it? I have created what I believe to be a rather complex document/program in word (I believe there are over 13000 total lines of code). I have quite a few auto-text entries that either are, or contain graphics. The overall size of my Word Template (one I created specifically for this purpose, not Normal.doc) is quite close to 8 Megs. The document doesn't seem like it takes excessivly long to open, or for the first UserForm to appear as a reault of the AutoNew Macro which calls the form. It seems like it takes excessively long for 1) items to be transferred from the userform comboboxes and text boxes to the FormFields in the template, 2) the userForm to unload, and 3) the 2nd userform to load. Then it seems to take excessively long for the same things to occur with the 2nd userform. Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields? Tag: 58131

    - Template Macro to Save Documents Iâ??m recording a macro, within a template, that will save the values of the bookmarks as part of the file names. While Iâ??m recording I get the save as dialog box to show but the file type says template.dot. I donâ??t want to save the template file, .dot, within my macro, I want the .doc file to be saved. If I change the file type to .doc and change the file location, away from the template subdirectoy, the macro disappears when I go to reopen the template. Word doesnâ??t allow me to stop the macro when the SaveAs dialog box is open. Pressing the cancel button in the SaveAs dialog box, records the cancel within the macro. (Iâ??m also recording encryption in the Save As box but that seems to work fine.) How can I save the macro in the template and still save the file as a document? (Leaving the Save As dialog box open with the proper file location and file name where all the user has to do is press Save is great?) Thanks, Phil Tag: Copying the formatted text between two fields?

    - PrivateProfileString Long Key Values I recently read several postings on how to create a GetINISetting function that would replace the System.PrivateProfileSetting function, which is limited to 255 characters. The function shown retrieved a long string value, which helped me out a lot. How can this be modified to 1) write to the INI file to append a new INI Key value that is longer than 255 characters or replace an existing INI Key value with a new value, that is longer than 255 characters? The original function was... Function getIniString(file As String, section As String, key As String) Dim nr As Long Dim curLine As String nr = FreeFile Open file For Input As nr ' read until section is found Do Until EOF(nr) Or LCase(curLine) = "[" & LCase(section) & "]" Line Input #nr, curLine Loop ' read until end of file or key is found Do Until EOF(nr) Line Input #nr, curLine ' key found? If LCase(curLine) Like LCase(key) & "=*" Then ' yes -> outta here getIniString = Mid(curLine, Len(key) + 2) Exit Do End If Loop Close nr End Function Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Re: FileSystemWatcher getting Word temp file From: "zfeld" <zfeld100@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: FileSystemWatcher getting Word temp file Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 12:29 PM Thanks, What I discovered is that the temporary ~$documentName.doc never gets renamed, it is just deleted on close. However another file is created at the same time as the ~$documentName.doc that doesn't even have the .doc extension, which was why I wasn't seeing it, it is usually something like wrd005.tmp this then gets subsequently renamed into MyDocument.doc. I therefore had to ignore the creates of .doc files that start with ~ and catch renames from a .tmp extension to .doc extensions.

I would like to take the formatted text between two fields and place it into
another document.

So far, writing something like this:

theRangeSource = theFirstField.Result
theRangeSource.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd)
theRangeSource.End = theSecondField.Result.Start

theRangeDestination.FormattedText = theRangeSource.FormattedText

does *not* work correctly. I get bits of the field codes copied into the
second document.

I would either like all formatted text *between* the two fields, or all
formatted text *including* the two fields placed into my second document
(theRangeDestination).

Note: I cannot use the application "Selection" as this is "unsafe" for the
purposes of running my reporter in the background while people are possibly
working with word in the foreground.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Robin

this works (it includes fields):

theRangeSource = theDocument.Range(theFieldStart.Code.Start - 1,
theFieldEnd.Result.End + 1)

this also works (excluding fields):

theRangeSource = theDocument.Range(theFieldStart.Result.End + 1,
theFieldEnd.Code.Start - 1 )
