    - Propose save file name Hi. I'm developing an applicaiton, that starts the word, opens a document based on a template and fill some information in it. Then the user can modify this document. If the user wants to save it, the file name in the SaveAs-dialog is "document.doc" The question is: how can I set the proposed name of document by my application? Thanks a lot. Anatoli Rejditsch.

    - Get DropDown Lists in 2007 out of AddIns (Is there a new 2007 board that I should be writing to with this question?) I have written a large program for 2003 (and before). I can create dropdown lists for various selections I need to make, and position them in the toolbar without problem. This is the essential code: Set newlist = mybar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlDropdown) For n = 1 To ubound(filenamed) newlist.AddItem filenamed(n) Next newlist.OnAction = "DoStuff" THE PROBLEM: In 2007, the commandbar (list) appears in the AddIns tab. I have created a new tab (called "My Program") that houses other commands regarding the program (so I can at least move those command buttons out of the generic "AddIns" tab). But I cannot figure out how to place the dropdown list into the "My Program" tab. Any ideas? Ed (in VA) Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110574

    - Search for text box formatted to Layout: In line with text Hi. I've managed to set up a macro that hides the content of all text boxes in my document by searching for each text box and setting the contents' font colour to white. However, it only seems to find text boxes that haven't been formatted to 'Layout: In line with text'. Does anybody know way to search for and edit these text boxes as well as the others? Here is the code that I am using: Sub HideAnswers() ' Find each text box and set it's font colour to white Dim aShape As Shape For Each aShape In ActiveDocument.Shapes If aShape.Type = msoTextBox Then aShape.Select Selection.Font.Color = wdColorWhite End If Next End Sub Any help would be really appreciated.

    - ActiveDocument - AutoOpen Good morning, I am trying to create a macro that will allow me to recall the AutoOpen function of the current document. I have been trying the following with no prevail: From within my Normal.dot file, this one only causes errors. [code] Sub Reset_Document() Application.Run ActiveDocument.ThisModule.ThisProcedure End Sub [/code] and this one does half the job [code] Sub Reset_Document() With ActiveDocument .Reload .ResetFormFields End Sub [/code] and this one only errors [code] Sub Reset_Document() With ActiveDocument .ResetFormFields AutoOpen() End Sub [/code] Now the middle one causes my fields to be cleared, which is nice; but I have some Input boxes that appear when the user opens the document and they do not appear. So my question is: How do I recall the AutoOpen function of my document from a Macro stored in another document? On another note, how do I highlight code?

    - Other groups... Greetings to all, Now that I have a 9-5 desk job, I cannot access the groups with he tools I would like to use. During the last 5 years I was using Outlook Express at home where I used to work as well. Here at the office I am now stuck with Lotus Notes. I tried accessing Usenet with Lotus Notes (It does offer Newsgroup capabilities) and with OE, but I believe the security set up by the IT people at the company is preventing me from making an NNTP connection. So I am using the Web Interface. I am getting accustomed to it. But I noticed that it is called "Word programming." Where are the 5 basic VBA groups I am used to (microsoft.public.word.vba.addins, microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners, microsoft.public.word.vba.customization, microsoft.public.word.vba.general, microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms)? Also, while I was on Google groups, I noticed that there is a group called "microsoft.public.word.vba". I never saw it with OE.... What is it? Was it always around but I just never noticed it thinking it was just a prefix, not an actual group)? Am I correct in asuming that "Word Programing" is in fact "microsoft.public.word.vba.general"? If there is no connection between the Web interface and those 6 groups, how do people, post to those groups? (Presumebly this means that there is no connection betwen Word itself and those 6 groups.) Will I have to use Google to access those groups? Anybody using Google to manage their posts? How is it? Thanks. Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110555

    - pictures and W2007 treatment After reading Daiya Mitchell's article "Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is," I wonder if the mailbox treatment that she described (text one one, headers/footers another, floating graphics on another) is still applicable in Word 2007? Here's why I ask. To avoid problems with float over graphics wandering into unwanted places when reflowing text, I have instead placed images into multi column borderless tables as in-line. I do this only when I need to simulate wrapped text. Is this cautionary practice necessary anymore with the new structure of W2007? I have just gotten the 2007 Office Suite and am not XML literate enough to know its impact. Any insights would be appreciated. Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110553

    - How to close the template or Document 1 Hi Someone has very kindly helped with some code which I need to ammend in order to be complete but I am not sure how to do it.....I have tried many various possiblities. First thing that happens when a certain document opens is a form appears allowing a user to select a template. This is the code behind one of the buttons on the form. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Word.Documents.Add Template:="G:\Template\ent_test.dot" Me.Hide ThisDocument.Close Document1.Close End Sub This works great and opens a new document based on the template closing the original document. This is the code behind the template which fills certain fields with merged data which works perfectly. Sub AutoNew() With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters .OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\ENTMRG.DBF", ConfirmConversions:=False .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute End With End Sub My only problem is, once the template opens and the macro is run, although a correct document opens, the template or at least a document called Document1 is also open. Ideally, I would like that document to close without saving changes only leaving the document with the merged data open. The reason why is it is giving the user to many options for confusion when closing multiple documents. I hope you understand what I am asking as it is not easy to explain.

    - Displaying Conditional Content in Word 2007 I'm looking for recommendations on creating and managing conditional content in Word. Examples may be: 1. I have a resume that has slightly different content for different industries' jobs I'm applying for. For example, in my last job in the "Experience" section, I may want to put three bullet points with text for my "manufacturing industry" resume and two of the same bullets of from the first list and another new bullet point (also hiding one of the bullet points from the first resume) for my "financial industry" resume. If I want to add a 3rd industry to apply for, such as the medical industry, maybe I just want to replace certain words in an existing financial industry bullet, for example, replacing the word "Sarbanes-Oxley" with "HIPAA". 2. I am creating a course on a subject. The end result will be 3 seperate documents - Instructor Guide, Participant Guide and Classroom Logistics Guide. The Instructor Guide will include the Participant Guide and Classroom Logistics Guide, as well as instructor delivery notes (in seperate blocks of content, like "Say This", "Common Questions from Participants", "How to Run this Activity"). The Classroom Logistics Guide will just be one or two sheets that may need to be saved seperately so it can be sent to another person if they are arranging part of the classroom logistics. Rather than perform a huge amount of copy/paste/delete and try to keep all the data current, I'm looking to just keep all this information in a single document - any outputted documents will be the result of editing the single document template. I've read some about XML and XSLT, but I don't know if they are what I'm looking for, because it appears that XSLT will reformat the document, when all I want is content switched out or removed/added based on content type - all formatting should stay as is. Is this something I can just tag certain content with an XML tag and then run a VBA routine against to remove that tag from the view of the rest of the document? The "Memo" and "Resume" XML samples for Word on MSDN weren't helpful. Bill Coan has a good example I looked at on wordsite.com, but his is all about formating for HTML (but the key idea is there as to what I'm looking for). I've also considered using "hidden text" inside of a Content Control and then just using VBA to hide all parts I don't need via the Control's tag, but that's just a binary choice of include/don't include and I need conditional logic. Any help in this regard is deeply appreciated - pointers, samples, real world examples, a smack in the face... :) DD Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110514

    - How to get a user commandbar to always appear I've found some posts from people who can't get rid of their command bars but my problem is the opposite. In Excel to get a custom commandbar to run at startup I just use: Private Sub Workbook_Open() CreateTheComandBar End Sub It can be in any template and if it's in Personal.xls then it'll appear in all my workbooks. How do I do the same in Word ? Private Sub Document_Open() CreateTheComandBar End Sub ...in Normal.dot doesn't work. The same thing in Document_New works for subsequent new documents but the bar ain't there when I start word. Running "CreateTheComandBar" from the VBA editor works just fine but if I close and restart Word it's gone.

    - Avoiding the Find/Replace dialog in Word 2003 This is a question related to Word 2003 and VBA I posed this question in an earlier thread, but it was needlessly complicated and wordy. Here's a clearer way of formulating my question, perhaps. I hope I'm not breaking any good netizen conventions here. This is the previous thread: If you use a newsreader: news://msnews.microsoft.com:119/eonojSFcIHA.1960@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl If you use a browser: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general&tid=f3baadfe-daeb-4809-9368-f0d5981d8cac&cat=en_US_eb67b351-9403-4888-a42c-b2b58efec0aa&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 Right now, I have a routine that, in part, finds a medical record number at the top of a document and creates an autocorrect entry for it. I put it together with macro record and some hints from this forum. The way it works is that the cursor jumps to the top of the document, finds the words "Medical Record Number", selects the medical record number, which is located just to the right, and assigns it to an autocorrect entry MRN. I'd like to do that without relying on the dialog box, which causes things to jump around. Assume my cursor is in section 2 and I want it to stay that way at the end of the macro's run. How would I do that? Here is the sample code: Sub MyDemo() ' ' go to top of section ' Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=1, Name:="" ' ' find medical record number ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "Medical Record Number: " .Forward = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1 Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend ' 'Assign to Autocorrect entry mrn ' AutoCorrect.Entries.Add Name:="mrn", Value:=Selection.Text Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine End Sub Regards, Alan Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110474

    - I need a super duper mail merge macro created. Please help Is there a way to create a template for a word document to have certain fields pre-populated with form fields and then create a macro to take the necessity for a user to have to open Mail Merge wizzard and start locating the data source etc? Deeper..... We run our in house software and we can press a 'Letter' button which creates a .dbf file which is automatically saved in the root of the users C drive. If they have created this .dbf file, it means they are going to send a letter to the person who was on the form they were looking at before clicking the 'Letter' button. Now, just assuming that the only fields in the dbf file were first name last name address I would want the user to open there template document (not saved in the C drive) which would already have the first name, last name and address form fields in the correct place of the template. This is when I would like the user to be able to press a form button or whatever that will then automatically point the fileds to the corresponding fields in the .dbf field so that our users do not have to try and use the Mail Merge wizard. They WILL NOT use the Mail Merge wizard as they are scared of computers. I know this may be complex or even impossible, but if it can be done, you will forever be deemed a hero. If it can't be done, other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance Malcolm Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110473

    - Creating a Find and Replace Macro in Powerpoint I'd like to create a Find and Replace Macro in Powerpoint that I can use each day on a different Powerpoint file. I'm very inexperienced at VBA. However, I was able to use the macro recorder in MS Word to record a find and replace macro, which I placed into its own template document, which covers over a hundred items. Talk about the timesaver of the century. I also have to edit Powerpoint documents. My edits include text in textboxes in the slide as well as note pages. 1. Since Powerpoint doesn't have a macro recorder, could I copy the text below that is used in MS Word into Powerpoint? 2. How would I save it to be available over time (since I edit documents everyday)?

    - Replace Title Case Function with Macro? I use Format > Change Case > Title Case quite frequently. However, it is a pain to have to change all the short words (e.g., the, a, of) back to lower case. There is a macro that takes care of that (shown below).

    - Macro to extract headings I need a macro that opens all of the word documents in specific folder, extracts the document headings (what you see in the outline view) and pastes all of the headings into a new document. I have a macro that extracts the headings (see below). The problem is, I have to run this macro on each file individually and it puts the headings in a separate document for each file. I would like to have one document with all of the headings from all of the files, one right after each other. Iâ??ve never been able to figure out how to write macros that run through all the files in a folder. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you. Sub PrintHeadings() ' Creates a new document with Heading XX ' style paragraphs only from active document. ' User prompted for max level XX.

    - Generating Documents on the Fly I am looking for a way to extract certain sections out of one very long document to generate a seperate document based on answers the user will give to questions when the document is first opened. So basically I am trying to generate a document that is tailored to the users needs. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110337

    - Table of Contents Question I'm trying to generate a TOC with 2 levels (from Heading Styles), however I don't want page numbers appearing for level 1. Right now the Code looks like this { TOC \o "1-2" \h\z\u } and it is generating two levels with page numbers for each level. I tried to look this up in Word's Help area and it says to use \n if you don't want page numbers, however, when using this it takes out page numbers entirely. I want page numbers for level 2 but not for level 1. Can anyone tell me how to specify that? Also, I've tried to find a list on websites and in the Word help feature that delineates switches that are TOC specific and that gives examples of what the switch does and examples of the exact use of them - haven't had much luck there. Any tips pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110333

    - Search all the characters then get range for some of them How do I programmatially search all the characters in a word document, then get Range for some of them so I can change font, etc? I hate to call Document.Characters because it will take forever. But if I call Document.Range(ref 1, ref missing) to get all the text, then how do I know the positions of some of the text since the document may contain non-printable characters. For instance, I want to search for "Hello world" in a document, set the text font color to red. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110328

    - Populating Content Controls with VBA Something that really seems to be missing with content controls is the ability to easily dump info into them programmatically, because of the necessity to refer to them numerically, rather than by a unique value (like Title). Is there a simple way to use SelectContentControlsByName (or Tag) to identify the content control in which you wish to change the text value? The big issue with referencing content controls by number is that if one content control in a document is deleted, it effectively re-numbers the rest and causes all kinds of issues... Thanks :-) Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110323

    - Disabling "next cell" in a table I have a table divided into protected and unprotected sections. In the unprotected sections, when the user tabs, a new line is created (as though it were the end of the table). I want to disable the "next cell" function in these cases, or otherwise prevent the creation of a new row, or force navigation to the next form field/section. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    - Table formatting question Tony Jollans wrote the following macro to help me with renaming the style in the tables in my documents. It works great except for the existing formatting is lost. After it runs everything is right justified. Is there a way to modify this to keep the existing formatting? So words that are centered stay centered; words that are left justified stay left justified and words that are right justified stay right justified. Set oDoc = Word.ActiveDocument Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToPage, _ which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=2 For Each T In ActiveDocument.Tables For Each P In T.Range.Paragraphs If P.Style = "Normal" Then P.Style = "tNormal" Next P, T Selection.HomeKey wdStory Tag: Creating Custom Mailing List Tag: 110318

This is simple mail merge -
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm or
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm

It is probably simplest to store the customer data in Outlook as that
requires no extra user effort.
