    - How do I perform calculations from the result of a drop-down formf Hello - I need to be able to perform a mathematical calculation from the result of a drop-down form field. Example: I have a drop down box (NOT activeX) with 3 values, and I have another form field with a calculation based on the 'bookmark' name of the drop-down. However, Word does not appear to calculate anything whichever option I choose from my drop-down box (they are all numbers). Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

    - REPOST: XP, 2000 versions on same machine? I posted earlier about having both the XP and 2000 versions of Word and Excel on my machine. Jim Cone gave me a huge amount of very useful info. The very first item, though, was "install the earliest version first". That's not going to happen - IT updates our computers by simply applying an image. This image includes the XP version of Office. With that in mind, is there any extra precautions about installing the 2000 versions of Word and Excel on a machine with the XP versions already there? Ed Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82464

    - Auto Increment number on Document I need to make a macro for all new/template documents, so that at what ever line/place I am in the document it should bring me a number. And when ever in same document or any other document If I call the macro it should obtain me a preivious number+1. I mean just when ever I call this macro it should give me an increment number. I saw some codes on net for document /Form Type , with the help of bookmark it can be obtained. But in my case I cannot make any bookmark. As I will be using it as a reference number at any place in the letters. Sometime it is in the first line , some time it is at last line , its not fixed. Please advise me in details, as I am not good in VB. Note : I have Windows XP operating system and MS Office 2000 installed. And this autoincrement number should be obtained by all users of my PC (as 3 users are there of same PC) Regards. Irshad Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82463

    - Getting information from Access into Word Hi all, I'm very new to VBA, so my question here may look stupid or has been answered here a dozen times. Anyway I was not able to find the answers to my question. I have made a small Access database in which I have 4 tables. Table one contains (in every table there is of course a ID field) the names of products that we do analyses on, like wheat, flour, soyabeanmeal Table two contains the sort of analyses that we do on these products, like humidity, protein, etc Table three contains different methods that can be used to do these analyses, like ISO 712, EC, etc Table four contains the fields from the previous three tables, where we make all the possible combinations: for example: wheat can be analysed on humidity by method ISO something, but also by method ICC something. Now I want to make a letter in a Word template that shows on startup a user form with a number of comboboxes. In the first combobox the user can choose a product let's say wheat. When the user then clicks on the following combobox he will only see the different analyses possible for wheat, let's say humidity. When he then clicks on the third combobox he will only see the different methods that can be used to analyse the humidity of wheat. All this information should then go to the appropriate bookmarks in the Word document. I managed to connect to the database, because I can load a list of laboratories in a combobox that we can have these analyses assigned to (in case we are too busy) and then put name, address, postcode, town, etc on the appropriate bookmarks of the Word document. Any help is greatly appreciated. Luc Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82461

    - setFocus on textbox in userform Hi I have a wordtemplate with a userform. The textboxes in the userform shows a default text from the beginning for ex the title textbox shows TITLE. My problem is that when the userform is shown I want the text in the textbox to be marked, like when you tab between textboxes with text the text is marked and when you write something you replace the text. I want this behavior also for the textbox that is first selected. I have tried to do this with setFocus but it only places the cursor after the text in the textbox. Thankful for help.

    - TextBox and Tables - a couple of questions Folks; What I want to do is essentially 'mail-merge' but the user is not going to be placing merge tags. They will simply put placeholders that I will substitute with data in my script. They will be placing the text in normal layout, inside of textboxes, and inside of tables. Could be some or all of the above. How do I determine if there are any TEXT BOXES and then iterate over them changing .Text any 'abc' to 'xyz'? (TextBoxes just puzzle me...) For Tables I've figured out that I can do: With ActiveDocument.Tables(1) For i = 2 To .Rows.Count For j = 1 To .Columns.Count [do something with .Cell(i,j).Range.Text] Next j Next i End With But: 1) How do I determine how many tables there are and then iterate over them successively? 2) Is there a smarter way than walking every thru cell and checking for .Range.Text? In the general layout (not in a TextBox or a Table) is this the preferred solution: With Selection.Find.Text ="abc" .Replacement.Text = "xyz"" .Forward = True .Wrap = 1 .Format = False End With ReplaceAll() Thanks for any insight!!

    - unlocked VBA project on XP becomes locked on Macintosh I'm hitting a strange problem. I've got a large project that I'm porting from Office on Windows to Office on Mac OSX. On Windows, I open the project in the VBE, then tell it to remove protection, so it'll be viewable without a password. If I close Word, reopen that file, and go back into VBE, I can view the macros just fine. I move the file across my network to my Mac. Open it, and try to access the macros in VBE on the Mac, and I get a Project locked for Viewing message. Furthermore, there's no opportunity to enter a password and view the project. Can anyone help with this. I'm trying to debug on the mac, and can't get to my macros to see what's going on. Thanks in advance, gary hillerson Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82434

    - Revision.Type property - inconsistent results I?m trying to add code to a macro to make it behave differently if the text it works on has tracked changes, but Word seems to act on whim rather than reality. Has anyone else tried to use [range_object].Revision(1).Type and gotten inconsistent or apparently wrong results? For example, in some documents I want the macro to add characters to a certain word, but only if the word isn't within a tracked deletions, since that makes the added characters UN-tracked (undeleted), so when revisions are accepted the added characters remain while what?s around it is erased. I would have thought code like this: If Selection.Range.Revisions(1).Type = wdRevisionDelete Then [etc] ....where the Selection is only 1 word and definitely contains only 1 revision, would allow the code to evaluate accordingly and consistently (and in this case, skip the action that would be performed if the Selection had no tracking). But very often it behaves as if this line of code isn?t there, and the action after that line *is* performed, with unmanageable results. Testing with MsgBox Selection.Range.Revisions(1).Type seems to return equally baffling results -- often it returns the value of 1 for an insertion *or* a deletions. Am I using the wrong constant? I don?t see one that would mean the same thing. Any help appreciated. ------------ Mark Tangard "Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." --John Waters Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82430

    - Mail merge creates multiple instances of Word Hello everyone, I am have inherited some code that does a mail merge of client forms in powerbuiler. The underlying problem is not with powerbuilder, but in how the ole object is working. I've opened a word application thru code and have populated the datasource. // active external application la_OLEReturn = ole_1.Activate(Offsite!) // open datacource ole_1.Object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource("c:\mail_merge\datasource_" + string(al_header_id) + ".rtf", 0,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,"","",FALSE,"","","","","") // hide the merge codes, so the actual value can be seen ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.ViewMailMergeFieldCodes = FALSE // execute the merge. ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute // set print background to false, otherwise MS Word complains that 'Word is still Printing' ole_1.Object.Application.Options.PrintBackground = False // Print the merged documents ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(-1) // close the current document ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.Close(0,1) Everything works and prints fine, just not the way we want it to. When the Active(Offsite!) executes, it opens an instance of word and then populates it with the datastore when that is fired. When the Execute fires, that opens up a new instance of word with merged data. Then it prints and closes as code is fired. We do not want to have new instances of word opening and closing up like a slide show when there are multiple forms being printed. Is there a way to have the mail merge stay within the first opened word instance or even just a second one? Thank you for the help. Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82397

    - Kill a UserForm I am trying figure out how to "terminate" a userform and code in progress if a user clicks a "Cancel" command button or the "X" on the form. Here is the problem. The user enters text in a textbox that could result in an error. That text is passed as a variable to another sub as part of a Do Loop. If the error is generated, the user is notified with a msgbox and the form is displayed with the invalid entry highlighted. At this point, I want the user to be able to cancel the process and eliminate any additional UserFrom code from running. I mean I want to kill it until it stops breathing completely. I can't get it worked out. I have duplicated the problem in the simple scenario provided below. All it takes is a user form, 1 text box, and 2 command buttons. Enter the value "2" in the text box and click the command button 1. When the error is generated and you are returned to the form then click the cancel button. This is where I want to strike the death blow, but as you will see the code continues to running (bypassing oddly enough the call) until the count of 10 is reached. All help welcome. Thanks.

    - MS Word 2003 - Microsoft Office Document Imaging Dear all, I would appreciate if anyone could help me answer the issue I have in relation to using the Microsoft Office Document Imaging driver (Tiff files). In our company we currently use the Peernet tiff driver to create tiff files for our imaging system. In Word 2003, this driver comes free. As the Peernet Licenses are expensive we are looking at adopting the MS tiff driver. We did some work to compare the two produced tiff images (both generated from the same word.doc). What we found was that at the Super fine 300, there was no real difference in the image quality in the two file which was great, however the MS tiff file sizes were on avaerage 25% bigger than the Peernet ones. We suspect that the MS Tiff converter is doing more than we want it to. We believe its adding Doc Summary Info etc, but we also believe its also putting OCR information into the tiff document that we do not need. As the images are stored in our imaging system we are talking about terabytes here, so and extra 25% is not insignificant. What I would like to know is, can a word document be converted to a tiff file using the MS tiff driver without the surplus info (believed to be OCR data). We cant seem to find a way to prevent it and code it accordingly. Any help or reference material would be appreciated. Thnaks Shane. Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82389

    - Problem with updating tables Greetings, I have a lot of tables in a lot of documents that need to be reformatted for various reasons. Each table has 4 or 5 OLE embedded objects in it. The tables themselves are embedded OLE objects (word objects embedded in word). I have the code down for opening each table, then each OLE object in each table, and resizing it to the proper size. When I close the window that the table object is in, although everything's been resized, Word closes it too fast to actually update the size of the table within the object. This is important because later on I have to figure out the exact height of the table for placement on a page. When I gather the appropriate measurements of the table object, it gives me the pre-resized size of the table, not the new-resized size, which throws off the calculations, because when it comes time to finally place the object on the page, it changes to the new size. God, that sounds confusing. Example: I have a table that is 3.5" wide by 3" high. I resize it to be 7" wide, which takes it down to 2" in height. But word closes out of the OLE window too fast, so Word still thinks that it is 3" tall. Later I re-open the table object to get the exact distance from top, and it gives me the 3" measurement, which it then uses for it's calculations for placement on a page. At the end of the placement, when Word has some time to catch up, it is the proper 2" height, but now all my calculations are off by an inch (if it were consistantly an inch, that would be easy to compensate for, usually it's a few points here and here). Is there any way to force Word to update the size of the table within the OLE object after the intial resizing of the object so that all the calculations will be good later? Any Ideas? Thanks in advance. Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82367

So when it runs the enter macro, it is capturing the changed result. Is there a way around this?

If a certain selection is made in the first drop-down box, a certain selection should be set in the second drop-down. Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82351

    - "Run Macro on Exit" on formfield doesn't fire Hi everyone I searched the groups for someone with the same issue - no success. So I'm trying it with a new subject. Here's my problem: I am working with word2000 and I have created a word template (.dot) with a few formfields in it. The dot has a module containing two public routines (pCalculateTotals and pGetField). The pGetfield is added in the "Run Macro on Enter", the pCalculateTotals in the "Run Macro on Exit"-Event of the formtextfield. Now I've tried this in a simple doc-File. Everything works fine. But when I create a doc out of the dot (by doubleclicking on the dot), the events won't fire. Why is that? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks a lot for your answers in advance!!

    - Hyperlinks in Protected Forms Hyperlinks in Protected Forms do not work except when using Macros or when sectioning off your form around the hyperlinks making the links vulnerable to editing. There should be a simple and straight-forward way to keep links working inside forms while the form is in a protected state. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Add a Logical Section Break in MS Word w/no change to text format MS Word has various Breaks, from Page Breaks to Section Breaks. However, and especially when trying to isolate a particular word or link in a protected form, a break is necessary to isolate the text/link. However, even the most basic 'Continous Section Break' counts as a vertical seperation between text. Here, a 'Logical Section Break' would be useful that would act like a 'Continous Section Break' without the vertical seperation, causing no visible change in the document formatting and layout, but still allows for isolation of parts of the text within the paragraph or line of text. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Link Fields even across Section Breaks? Hell everybody, I may be asking this in the wrong newsgroup, if so point me in the right direction. Otherwise, I was wondering if it is possible to link an inserted field to a field earlier in a word document so that when I change the original, the other fields change with it. I need this to occur even across section breaks as well. Thanks for the help! Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82304

    - Splitting document on hard page break I've seen in several posts how to split each page in a document into a separate document. And I've seen how to search / replace hard page breaks. What I can't figure out is how to combine them and do the following - Take the pages between each hard page break and save them into separate documents. The logic should be simple - start a range, go to the next hard page break, end the range, copy the range, throw it to a new document and save it. But nailing the ranges by hard page break is killing me. Thanks in advance. Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82301

    - highlighting text in a word document I have a list of different words in an excel speadsheet that I want to search in a word document and if it finds that word to highlight it in red throughout the whole document. If possible I would load these words into an array and go through a loop to find the occurences. I do not have to use excel, the list can be imported into word.

    - Fill-In Field is updating in Header area on Print Preview? I don't want it to. Hello all, I'm having a problem with a Word2003 template. When I add a Fill-In field within a document, it won't prompt me for it's value unless I update it automatically. This is how I want it. When I have a Fill-In field in a header or footer, it prompts me for its value every time I print or Print Preview. Is there anyway to prevent this for the header and/or footer? Thanks!

    - Macros Hi There Can anyone help me with this. Is it possible to do the following in Word:- "setting Macros to assist with electronic note-taking to WORD on Palm / Laptop" Do you need VB coding???? Please help Thanks Bronwen Tag: Determining control type Tag: 82284

Can I determine what type of control I've landed on from the control
itself?

e.g. can I have a function like the following?

Private Function GetControlType(ctrl as Control) as String
if ctrl <is a textbox> Then
GetControlType = "TextBox"
ElseIf ctrl <is a checkbox> Then
GetControlType = "CheckBox"
....

End Sub

Is there a property that reliably exists in every control that tells
me its type?

thanks,
gary
