    - protect variable from spell check? I'd like to protect a patient's name from the spell checker. Patient's name varies from document to document with each patient having a personal single document file. Each patient's name appears multiple times in the document. Adding an ever-increasing number of patients' names to the custom dictionary in an ongoing constantly updating fashion is unreasonable. Is there a reasonable way to preclude spell checker from identifying their names as misspellings? Perhaps I could automate copying the patient's name into one of the document properties and any item in that location would be protected from spell check? Using fields and/or sections protected from spell check seems fraught with multiple difficulties for many MS Word users. Alternatively, an automated addition of patient's name to the custom dictionary might work. ? perhaps something like the following to add to "myNames.dic" where code has previously selected the patient's name. Dim tempNam as string tempNam = Selection.Text Set myNames.doc =_ Application.CustomDictionaries.ActiveCustomDictionary Dim d 'Create a variable Set d = CreateObject(Scripting.Dictionary) ' Object.Add Key, Item d.Add "a", "Athens" 'Add some keys and items d.Add "b", "Belgrade" d.Add "c", "Cairo" d.Add tempnam or maybe something simpler? "spell check but not check variable" ;) tia, Gil http://www.TenSecondMedicalRecord.com Tag: Create Control at runtime Tag: 97832

    - Steps to write and activate macro in Word 2003 Folks, Any step by step for adding a macro into a word 2003 document? I want to read one Bookmark A and based on this value show in another field a default value for Bookmark B or text field. Example: The dropdown value selected is equal to text "NYC", the default value sould be text "SOHO". How do I get SoHo to show up in Bookmark B or text field? Then if the dropdown value is changed to "Boise" the default value in the other field would be default to "Idaho". thx. Tag: Create Control at runtime Tag: 97820

    - Need a Command Button in a Word Template Reference Word 2003 I am trying another approach to a template problem I have been working on. I have an online work order form that our voice consultants need to fill out for each customer. The form has a section for customer ID info and the rest of the form has 11 columns where the customer requests is completed. Each line represents one telephone. If the customer has 1 or a 1000 phones, each phone will have a line entry. This is the part where I start to have problems. By the time I get all the customer id info, there is only enough space for 12 line entries. I have created another form (continuation page) to go to if the consultant requires it. I have tried using an on exit macro and it works but I need to have the option of NOT using it. Right now, when you get to the last field, on the last line, it tabs to a field that is labeled Additional Page. Of course, when I come off it, it opens the page as it is suppose to do. But I want to be able to make that a yes I do or no I don't want to open that page. So I figured a command button would be the solution. Click on it to open the Additional Page, otherwise, go tab on by it and go back to the top of the form. I have gone to the control toolbox and inserted a command button but I can't program it and it seems to keep the template from locking down. The padlock icon grays out as soon as you insert the button. I am not a programmer in VB and need help. I hope this all makes sense, it is little hard to explain. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Tag: Create Control at runtime Tag: 97817

    - Cleaning up a document programmatically? I get so much great info from this forum; I thought I'd give this a shot: is there a way to programmatically clean up a poorly formatted document? It 80 pages of normal style, tab-tab-tab-paragraph, manually numbering and has sporadic, incorrect manual TOC markings. I was planning on clearing all manual formatting, using search & replace to get rid of tabs & manual markings and apply numbered styles throughout for the TOC. Is there a better way? (Sorry if my search skills failed me & this is a standard question!) --Sandi P.S., I'm Helpdesk/Trainer who offers a Styles class regularly, screams Styles often, and now this document has become the Help Desk responsibility because it won't behave for a user who refuses to learn Styles.

    - Macro to detect doctype and change? I need help creating a macro to do the following: When any file is opened (I'm thinking this will be an autoopen macro), the macro will read the document's extension, and if it's a particular extension will automatically save it to the C drive with the same name but in another format. So it's not just giving the file a different extension, it's actually changing it from one format (such as RTF or TXT) to Word 2003 format (.doc). Is it possible to write such a macro?

    - Formatting while using Insert File Hi all, In an article http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm it is described how things work using Insert File. Is there a difference in functionality between Word2003 compared to Word2000? I want the scenario that, if I have a blank document and insert a second document, with different page formatting, into the blank one, the first document should adopt the formatting of the inserted document. But in my 2003-version the formatting in the document remains intact after inserting the second document. TIA, Peeter Tag: Create Control at runtime Tag: 97801

    - VBA code to get page numbers and print multi section documents!

If the document: - 1st section has 4 pages (numbered 1-4) - 2nd section more 10 pages (numbered 1-10) When printing something like "4,1", it result in some pages, equal to section 1 pages 1 to 4, section 2 page 4 (sort of random like :o) What a hell this kind of stupid feature called "section print" (have a look at "help printing sections") !!!

    - Changes in Word2007 object model (Explanation of performance changes (read "degraded") This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0011_01C76419.80883A80 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Fellow MVP Helmut Weber and I where comparing efficiencies of our macros for deleting duplicate paragraphs from a document. In this discussion (and tests) I have learned that: 1) my macro is considerably faster that his using Word2003. 2) Helmut's is considerably faster than mine using Word2007. 3) Both are considerably faster using Word2003. Assuming Word2007 is a better product than its predecessor, its seems that at the very least both would be faster in Word2007! I am interested if anyone knows of the changes to the object model that would account for degrade in performance using both methods and the flip-flop in the result with my method in Word2003 compared to Word2007. Jezebel or Steve Hudson, I don't remember which, once explained to me how using Do ... Loop Until x Is Nothing was faster than a For Each ... Next x. The results in our tests bare that out in Word2003, but it seems the Do ... Until x Is Nothing method has taken the slow road in Word2007. Here is a sample of results observed using 201 and 801 paragraphs. The first 200/800 paragraphs are unique. The last paragraph (201/801) is a duplicate of the 200/800th paragraph.

    - Print PDF from VBA A long shot, maybe: Is there way, maybe using Shell, to print a PDF file from VBA code? Goal: To print all PDFs in a folder *in order* (alpha by filename), in a way that doesn't require opening each one or combining them into a large file(s). Selecting multiple PDF files from an Explorer window and clicking File-> Print does in fact send them to printer, but the print in some bizarre order I can't discover! Can I use VBA's FileSearch property to collect the filenames & then call another macro within that loop that sends each file to the printer, with a DoEvents line (or some equivalent to Background:=False) after each one, so they'll print one at a time? Is this clear? Is there an easier way somewhere? Word 2003, WinXP, Acrobat 6.0 standard. Thanks in advance Mark Tangard Tag: Create Control at runtime Tag: 97679

    - KillDuplicateParas I came across an old post in Google groups for deleted duplicated lines of text in a document. It used a For x = Count method to go through and check the range of one paragraph to the the range of every other paragraph and delete any duplicates. It had two If ... End If blocks. The first check the para range length. If = then the second performed a text comparison. I assume the author thought that it would save time by doing a text comparison only on paras of equal length. The procedure worked as advertised, however with a longer document it took a long time. I created about 800 paragraphs and determined that it was actually much quicker to bypass the the first length check and just do a range comparison on every paragraph. Down from 200 seconds to 75 seconds! Next I remembered an method that Jezebel showed me for stepping through items using the .Next (property or method I am never sure which). I adapted the code as follows and the time taken was down to 3 seconds! Anyway, I just wanted to share this with the group: Sub KillDuplicateParagraphs() Dim SBar As Boolean Dim TrkStatus As Boolean Dim eTime As Single Dim oParRef As Paragraph Dim oParChk As Paragraph eTime = Timer With ActiveDocument TrkStatus = .TrackRevisions .TrackRevisions = False End With With Application SBar = .DisplayStatusBar .DisplayStatusBar = True .ScreenUpdating = False End With Set oParRef = ActiveDocument.Range.Paragraphs(1) Set oParChk = oParRef.Next Do '*** Stet out first if block to delete duplicated empty paragraphs.

    - creation/destruction of our custom command bars for the office ma Hi, I have a problem with creation/destruction of our custom command bars for the office macros ( MS Word) on various combination of OS & Office. Our Solution is based on suggestions from Microsoft support (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245765) issued for MS Word 2000. Construction of the menu bars isnâ??t the problem though, but proper destruction is. What MS basically suggests is to reopen Normal.dot template (which is where the global menu bars configuration is stored) on AutoExit() then remove our custom menu bars and then save it. Unfortunately this solution does not always work and whatâ??s worst on some combination of OS & Office (ex. Japanese XP + Japanese Office XP) it leads to a crash. This solution from MS was offered for Word 2000, and it does not work on all possible OS and Office combinations. I wish to find a safe way of saving normal.dot template after removing our custom command bars and icons , so that it works on all supported combinations of OS & MS Office. I have implemented the following code during AutoExit() which gives me a crash on Japanese XP SP2 and Office XP combination, as well as on Vista 2007 while exiting word application. AutoExit.bas:- Sub main() On Error Resume Next NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument Common.RemoveToolbarIcon Common.RemoveMenuItem Documents.Save NoPrompt:=True End Sub Another crash that we find due to the above exit routine , is that the Word 2007 , when opened in Thumbnail view, crashes with our macro. The above crash can also be reproduced by using the code written in mentioned link(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245765) and made a sample macro (sample.dot) and it also crashed when exiting MS word 2007 in thumbnail view with my sample macro only.

    - Hide or collapse section Hello, I have a form with about 8 sections. Not all section may be used at once so in order not to see it or print it, could I hide it or collapse it until it needs to be used then have the user click on it to open? Example: Thee are three (3) setions for Collateral. Section one is for the main collateral and sections two and three are for additional collateral. If there is only the main and one additional collateral, I do not want the third section of additional collateral to show or print. This will make the form smaller and more user friendly I think.

Hi,

like this:

Selection.FormFields.Add _
Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldFormDropDown
' or
Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl _
ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1"

Try the macrorecorder.
and define a range instead of using the selection.
