    - Opening a Mailmerge Word Document from Excel using VBA Any explanation an assitance would be greatly appreciated. I have an excel [2000] file that I use to generate a mail merge data set for word. Using VBA, I create a excel file with one [1] sheet, then open word, and an existing mail merge document with all the fields. I then relink the merge document to the new data file and merge. This all works but takes approx. 1 minute to the file, and another minute to relink the new data file. If I open the document through word manually, it only takes about 3-5 seconds to open the word document, similar to relink. Can someone first explain the time lag, and/or how to fix it? Thanks Simon [Note: Also posted in Mail Merge group] Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72836

    - Option Buttons - Word 2003 I have a form with groups of option buttons for selection. Is there a way to make the value of the option button "true" as the user tabs up or down through the selections, i.e., the option is selected at the location the user has tabbed to and moves with the tab action? I am trying to come up with a way to select the option without using a mouse on the form. Right now I have accelerator keys assigned but these become problematic with the quantity of selections on the form. I couldn't seem to locate anything in the properties window of the form that sounded like it would fit the bill. Thanks! -- singeredel (Julie) Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72833

    - Selection.Tables.Add -- moving the selection I'm using office automation in Word. I have a selection and have used Selection.Tables.Add to add a table into word. How do I move the selection to the end of the table (i.e. next line?) If I were to do Selection.TypeText("blah") the text is inserted in the first cell of the table, which is NOT what I want. I've tried methods like Selection.Move and MoveEnd... but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm using it wrong?

    - InlineShapes I'm writing an application that make some operations with some objects stored as inlineshapes in a word document, but when I insert an Autoshape in Word XP, and an activeX object (CalendarControl) as an inline object, then InlineShapes.Count returns 1 (I guess because of the calendar control), but when I try to get the item with InlineShapes.Item(1), it throws an exception, saying that the item is out of range. I must get the CalendarControl with InlineShapes.Item(2), despite that the count property returned that there are only 1 element (count returned 1). When I check Shapes.Count it returns 1 as well. (I guess because of the autoshape) I must get the AutoShape with Shapes.Item(1); So it seems that there are 2 collections (InlineShapes and Shapes) that share the indexes. Is this a bug? How could I now which index is a InlineShape and which one is a Shape? in order to not to get the exception when I use the .Item(index) member? Thanks. Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72815

    - Class does not support Automation or does not support expected int Hi, G'd morning. In Office 2003, I created a Word template which has a word document, VBA code, and couple of FORMs. And, I'm getting very strange error when I change the template. I added a new textbox, an activeX obj, to the word document, but it seemed that the old document, created without the new textbox, didn't like the new textbox somehow, I think. I got the following error: Run-time error '430': Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface. the code: ActiveDocument.txtCompanyName.text = "My Company" txtCompanyName is the name of the textbox created before. If I delete the newly created obj from the template, all the old documents work fine with the code. I don't know if there is any change in Office 2003 on how to reference ActiveX obj. Or, I should register the objs before I reference to them in VBA code. Is anyone has come across this type of problem? Thank you very much. Will. -- Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72813

    - Speed of macros reduced to a snail pace Hi I recently asked a question about two docs that use the same .dot as reference to execute macros and install a toolbar. One of the docs works very well while the other one (much longer table) has become unusable due to the speed of execution Today, I inserted a second table in the slow doc and the macros executed right away. So I have concluded that it is the length of the main table in the problematic doc that is causing the problem and nothing else. I have copied below one of the macros the speed of which seems to be affected by the length of the table. Can anyone help me to get around this problem as I can't wait one minute each time for a macro to execute. I selcet the word with the cursor before running the macro. Thanks in advance Dave Neve Sub FallingLong() Dim wordrange As Range, lrange As Range, i As Long, j As Long Set wordrange = Selection.Range j = 2 For i = 1 To wordrange.Characters.Count Set lrange = wordrange.Characters(i) If Selection.Characters.Count <= 5 Then lrange.Font.Size = 18 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 2 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue Else lrange.Font.Size = 16 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 1 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue End If Next i Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Selection.ExtendMode = False Selection.Font.Reset Call NextWordSelect End Sub Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72795

    - combine downloaded word docs from website? Hello, This is a long shot, but I'm thinking you folks would probably have some pointers for me. On this website: http://www.cityofbellevue.org/page.asp?view=7863 There's a set of links to months. If you click on one of the months (say, August), you get a set of links to Microsoft Word doc files, 3 for each day of the month: http://www.cityofbellevue.org/page.asp?view=38806 Is there a way to combine all of these docs into one document, then sort by district?

    - Resequencing Paragraph Outline Numbering Hello Everyone, I'm trying to automate a task. I want the user to select the original text (example below), execute the macro and convert it to what looks like in the reformatted example. The assumptions is that there will never be more than 30 entries for any level of outline numbering. The text is all plain text as well and all the paragraphs have no styles associated with them. I've tried coding finding and replacing using loops but was getting hung up on keeping the numbering together. Any easy ideas on how to do this? Original Text: 1. First Paragraph. a. Sales Plan. b. Strategy. (1) Strategy 1. (2) Strategy 2. (3) Strategy 3. c. Marketing Plan. 2. Second Paragraph. a. Intent b. Concept of Execution. (1) Execution 1. (2) Execution 2. (3) Execution 3.

    - Programmatically creating charts with Word and VB.Net Hi to all! I have an issue that has been bugging me for quite some time and I hope that someone might be able to point me into the right direction here. The story is â?? I am writing an application that would allow a user to create a Word output from pre-defined data tables. The output can contain both charts and tables. While generating the output, Word or MSGraph cannot be visible to the user. What I have is something like this [CODE] private sub AddChart(params) Dim oShape As Word.InlineShape Dim oChart As Object oShape = _wordDocument.Bookmarks.Item("\endofdoc").Range.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(ClassType:="MSGraph.Chart.8", FileName:="", LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False) oChart = oShape.OLEFormat.Object If (chartOptions.UpdateDataSheet(oChart) <> True) Then CLogger.Log("Chart has no data present. Check to make sure you are not hidding the entire chart", CLogger.EntryType.Warning) End If CLogger.LogIf("Updating Chart Options") chartOptions.UpdateChart(oChart) oChart.Application.Update() oChart.Application.Quit() AddSection() End sub [/CODE] Here is what happens â?? first time we run this â?? everything is good, second time, Word document becomes visible as well as the MSGraph window appears. It happens when we hit the line with oShape = â?¦â?¦. I am wondering if someone knows the way to hide that Word document and that MSGraph window. Thanks in advance.

    - Auto-create chart objects I have an excel spreadsheet with 600 rows in it. Each row has the name of an item followed by several columns of numbers. I need to create 3 different small charts in a Word document for each row in the spreadsheet. In word, you will see a Item Name, with 3 small, but different charts on the next line, followed by a blank line. I know I can create the charts in Excel using a macro and then copy and paste them into word as pictures. Once that is done, I can tell word to run a macro to format the pictures. But the quality of the text breaks down depending upon how much I stretch the charts. WHAT I WOULD RATHER DO is, either from Excel, tell word to insert Excel chart objects or from Word, get the data from Excel and create the chart objects. Using the first method, I have created a macro in Excel to tell Word to run a macro to put in a line of text with the item name in it, followed by a paragraph break, followed by inserting an Excel object. But where do I put the macro that tells the Excel object how to format itself? I do not want to store the macro in each Excel object as that would bloat the document. I have tried to place the Macro back in the original Excel sheet, but when I tell it to run, it seems to want to run within the original Excel sheet, not within the Excel object in Word. What am I doing wrong? Or am I missing something even simpler that would solve my problem? Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72703

    - Word 2000 Merge with VBA I have a name badge document that I routinely merge with an Access data base on a server. I create name badges for several offices. Each office is generated with a make table and 2 append queries, with a query for the final data. The final data query for each office is used to create the name badges for each office. I recorded the merge process for one query, then copied for each office. The code is: Sub Merge_EventsDataBase_HOU() ' ' MailMerge Macro ' Macro recorded 8/17/2005 by cm9125 ' ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "I:\Access\Registration_Lists_Pinnell\RegistrationLists_Original.mdb", _ ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _ AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _ WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _ Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, Connection:= _ "QUERY Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData", SQLStatement:= _ "SELECT * FROM [Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData]", SQLStatement1:="" With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With End Sub Copied this code and changed the query name for each of the other offices. This code ran fine, but when I tried the other offices got "Run-time error '5922': Word was unable to open the data source." Can someone help me with this? Also, on my computer it goes to the "I:" drive. On someone else's computer it may not be "I:". Is there a way to let the other user enter their drive number? Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72697

    - genreate ms-word doc from excel Hi all, I have worked on an excel project recently with a lot of help form this board. The goal was to assort couple of tables from one sheet to another to make things easier for comparison. Now I have a new task. I need to generate couple of ms-word documents from this excel sheet. The plan right now is to have a menuitem like "Generate docs" in excelsheet and by clicking on that we can generate about 40 word documents or so. We have a word template file. For each word document we need to have the folowing things 1. Module name as the heading 2. Description of the module 3. Table of data All these information are in the excel sheet. They are stored in excel sheet using named ranges. Now, I need to gather these data and generate the word docs. What would be the best approach to solve this problem. Ideally we would like to do this with out even opening the word application. I am requesting your valued suggestions on this problem.

    - Problem with Word Code in 2003 I am performing a mail merge in Word through an Access database. As part of the process, I check to see if a Word document is already a mail merge document, and then, if it is, if it has the correct data source. Thus, from within Access, I use: If objWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.State=wdMainAndDataSource Then ... This has worked fine with Access/Word 2000, or if the program is used with Access/Word 2002. However, with Access/Word 2003, the MailMerge.State value returns wdNormalDocument (0) instead of wdMainAndDataSource (2). I double-checked the document, and it clearly is a mail merge main document with a data source. When when read through Access, I get the return value of a normal document. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks, Neil Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72688

    - Controlling text wrapping around an image. Hello We generate word documents from content in a database (AuthorIT application). I want to have an image on the front page of my document _behind_ the text. When generated, the text is wrapped around the image. I want to use a macro to set the image to display beneath the text. I have come up with this macro: Sub MoveImage() Dim iShape, Shape On Error Resume Next For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.InlineShapes iShape.ConvertToShape Next For Each Shape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.ShapeRange Shape.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapThrough Next End Sub This doesn't work when run as soon as the doc is generated, but curiously does work if i manually select the image then run it. Can anyone help me to develop a macro that will set the desired wrapping without any manual action? Thanks Dave. Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72671

    - Word should have a dumb mode Word should have a mode that turns off all the auto-formatting to that you can write a document in free format. I'm thinking of a simple toggle button rather than having to go into a menu and uncheck a bunch of boxes.

    - Display Print Dialog Thankyou in advance. I have the bellow code capturing the print event. But what I would like to do is still display the Print Dialog so the user can change which Printer they wish to print to instead of just the default. Sub FilePrint() ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Job File Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Client Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.Save End Sub The requirement for the document is that it prints out in duplicate and the heading needs to be different on each print out. The above code achieves the printing in duplicate and changing the headings but only to the default printer. I would like to display the Print Dialog so that they can change the printer. Thankyou again. Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72648

    - .Next feature In the following code why does the line MsgBox aWord.Next return just the first letter of the next word rather than the complete word? Thanks Sub Testing() Dim aWord For Each aWord In ActiveDocument.Range.Words MsgBox aWord MsgBox aWord.Next Next aWord End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

    - Programatically adding new autotext entries to a global template I'm in the process of (hopefully) improving the overall use of Word XP in our small office. Being a self-taught newbie to VBA, I've found this newsgroup to be of real value as a source of info and tips. As part of the process, I've created a global template ( called RI_Global.dot) which will hold, amongst other things, all our generic autotext entries, ie - ones we want to be available all the time in any document. What I'm seeking guidance about concerns the way a new user-created autotext entry is "saved" to a template. My understanding is that the default choice is the normal.dot template, whereas I want the entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot. Is it possible to "force" a newly created AutoText entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot, rather than relying on the users to remember to choose this template when they access the Insert/AutoText/AutoText command? Also, can I intercept the "Alt+F3" shortcut to again force the entry to be saved to my global template? I've found the appropriate(?) dialog which might be interceptable [ie: Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)], but I can't see how any of the options can be manipulated through VBA. Using the macro recorder and selecting the global template from the "Look in:" drop-down box doesn't shed any light on the steps involved when I look at the resulting code. Thanks in anticipation.

    - Amending the File Open dialog Since upgrading to Word2003 I notice that the "Look in" box in File/Open dialog always seems to point to the last directory I used. Whilst this is sometimes convenient, most of the time I want to open files in the specific directory, "DirName", which I have created to contain my most used files, with its own tree substructure. I therefore wish to ensure that "Look in" always defaults to that given directory. Could (or should) this be achieved by modifying the following module already installed which ensures that the "Files of type" box always shows "All Files":- Sub FileOpen() With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen) .Name = "*.*" .Show End With End Sub Or should a separate new module be used. Being not too familiar with the Visual Basic codes, can someone kindly advise how to do this. Thanks Jack Sadie Tag: CustomDocumentProperties Tag: 72643

After having added a custom document property (using "Add") how can I know
whether it is or not in my document ? If I call Add again it crashes down
saying the property exists already.

Dim Flag As Boolean, prop As CustomProperty
Flag = False
For Each prop In ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties
If prop.Name = "mycustomproperty" Then
Flag = True
End If
Next
If Flag = True Then
MsgBox "The Custom Property exists."
Else
MsgBox "The Custom Property does not exist."
End If

I'm not that expert in VBA. I know the trap mechanism but it exists in VBA ?
How can I use it ?
