    - Disappearing Commandbar buttons [Word 2002/XP] I have a custom command bar with many buttons... but the two most recently added (invoking trivial macros) seem to disappear from the Controls collection even though they are still visually present on the command bar itself... (Word has been restarted since the original customisation) It only seems to happen after the VBA IDE has complained about a compile error though... and all the other buttons are fine... Any ideas? NB - when I say they disappear from the Controls collection I mean that having iterated through all of them they just aren't there anymore, not that e.g. the referencing "name" has been corrupted -- Julian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110676

    - Referencing Bookmarks and Fields Hello I was wondering if there is a way of representing the same bookmark (or field) in multiple places in a word document. I've designed a userform that requires input from the user and places data in appropriate placeholders in a document. For instance, suppose I want a particular phone number (let's say 180 -555-5000) to automatically be inserted into 7 different locations in a document from data extracted from a userform. Must I create 7 different bookmarks/fields in each place I want to see the number represented? I know Wordperfect 9 is capable of inserting the same bookmark with the same data in multiple places so that you avoid creating a new bookmark for the same data. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    - Find page number for each word in document Hi All, I have a Word document for which I'm trying to create an index. I've just started this code, but the idea is to parse through each word and dump out the word and the page number to a CSV file that I can manipulate later on (or dump it to a dictionary object or array or something so I can manipulated it in code). The end result being the 100 least used words in the document should make a halfway decent index. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the the page number to show up correctly using the following code: Function CreateIndex() Dim fso, NewsFile Set fso =3D CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set File =3D fso.CreateTextFile("c:\book\sampleindex.csv", True) Set objDictionary =3D CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") Set colWords =3D Application.ActiveDocument.Words For Each strWord In colWords strWord =3D LCase(strWord) strLetter =3D Left(strWord, 1) If Asc(strLetter) < 97 Or Asc(strLetter) > 122 Then Else ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range, True intPage =3D Selection.Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) MsgBox (strWord & "," & intPage) File.WriteLine strWord & "," & intPage End If Next File.Close End Function I'm pretty new to VBA for Word, but I'm not terrible at VBS, so I can sometimes keep up with you =FCber scripters out there. The result of this script is a CSV file that has each word in the document, and the number "1", because wdActiveEndPageNumber always returns a "1". I tried to add the "ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView" line to scroll to the page, but I have a feeling I'm missing something for that to work. So, any help you guys can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks! Gabe Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110625

    - GotoBottom Using Word 2003, I have set up a Protected/Unprotected Form Form(set)...The file contains 5 different forms used by the engineering department. All of the forms, with the exception of the first must be able to replicate themselves. The forms are constructed using tables and section breaks as required. At the bottom of each of the forms in the set is a paragraph mark (set to 1.5 points). I am using the small routine (below) as part of the macro to get to the bottom of each page, add a 'page break', and then insert a specific table stored as an autotext entry to create another page in the series. When I record the macro (gotobottom, insert break-page, autotext-add table) the new page is there (bam!). All of the macros for this document are stored in a toolbar for the engineers to use. When I run the macro from the toolbar - the new page is all messed up. The page break is being added in the table above, pushing the balance of the table to the next page along with the addition of the autotext table and a space is added at the top of the original table which also pushes the table further down..... I tried creating a 'dummy' scenario in a blank document and when I initiate the gotobottom by itself, it jumps to the cell marker (outside the table) at the last cell, last row and not to a paragraph mark placed below the table, as I believe it should. If I place two paragraph marks below the table, then the cursor does jump to the first paragraph mark below the table.... can someone please explain what may be happening and how I can correct to get the desired results??? my thanks and best regards, Lenny Sub GotoPgBottom() Dim rTmp As Range Set rTmp = Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range rTmp.End = rTmp.End - 1 rTmp.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd rTmp.Select End Sub Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110619

    - Built-in properties Hi, I've just found out there is a built-in properties thingy, and I found out that there seem to be 30 of them. However, I had to write some code to list them out (below, in case you need it) and I still don't have definitions of what these properties actually are. It's fairly obvious what most of them are, but what is 'format' for example? The inbuilt help never seems to just give a simple listing of these different options. Why would that be? Here's the code to list them, btw: Sub GetBuiltInDocumentProperties() On Error Resume Next mytext = "" For i = 1 To 255 mytext = mytext & i & " " & ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(i).Name & ":- " & ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(i).Value & vbCrLf Next MsgBox mytext End Sub This lists out properties 1 - 30, but how do I know there isn't a property number 699 (or 6,000,699) for example?

    - 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: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro 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.

    - 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.

    - Locking Master Document I need to be able to lock a word master document from VBA. In word from the outline view when I position the cursor inside the master document and click the Lock Document icon this works fine but if I record these actions the macro produced contains the code: Selection.Range.Subdocuments(1).Locked = Not Selection.Range.Subdocuments( _ 1).Locked If I run this macro I get a message saying the selected member of the collection does not exist. Anyone know how to lock a master document from VBA? Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110523

    - 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: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110514

    - trust macros in Word 2007 Is there a way I can define Word 2007 .docm files to be trusted when coworkers download them from our Company intranet and then open them? A solution that doesn't require the user to allow macros each time would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110512

    - 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. Why are Word and Excel *still* so different in their behavior after so many wonderful years of co-existence ? -- David M WinXP - Office2003 (Italian) Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110500

    - Reformatting text I receive a report in Word and need to export to an Access database. The problem is the record format isn't in a delimited format. Each record in Word has the following format: fied1 text (tab) field2 text(paragraph) field3 text (tab) field4 text(paragraph) field5(paragraph) paragraph number paragraph Next Record I would like to create a macro or something so the format for each record is something like: text, text, text, text, number so I can save as txt and import into Access.

    - How to: Block user input temporarily? Hi, If I am manipulating text in a word document using e.g. selection property, I might want to keep the user from inadvertantly typing over my temporary selection by blocking user input. In Excel I could set Interactive = false I gather - is there an equivalent setting for Word? Sincerely, Anders Tag: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110492

    - 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: Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro Tag: 110474

I am trying to write a macro to customize the Quick Access Toolbar when a
Word 2007 document gets the focus and remove it when the document looses the
focus. This way only the document that I put the macro into can use it and
it is easy for the user to find it.

Thanks for any help.
