    - Rename all bookmarks I need a short macro that will rename every bookmark in the active document by adding "X_" to the beginning of the name. For example, if a bookmark is called OS121203a it will rename it X_OS121203a. It will do this for every bookmark in the current document. I assume the macro would use the line "For Each objBookmark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks" but I cannot work out the string manipulation functions to add the extra X_ to the front of the bookmark name. Could anyone help? Thanks Steve Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42729

    - WordObject visibility issue Hey all, I am not sure if this has been asked before, so i am asking again. The intention to read an xml file and create a MSWord file with appropriate pieces of data with different formattings. I wrote the whole program and for debugging purposes, i set the visibility of the word object to be true. Once the functionality was in place i set the visibility to false and the formatting stated going haywire. The only way formatting works correctly is when i set the visibility to true. Any pointer as to what am i doing wrong ? I am using wordbasic (word 95) commands and instead of adding a reference to MSWord i am using CreateObject (i hope that would make it work for different versions of MSWord and i wont have to bundle the dll). -j Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42720

    - How to perform a split (with a split bar) programmatically? Hi all, Current scenario: 1. I have a document (document1) with English text 2. I have a translation macro assigned to button1 3. I press button1 which will translate document1 to Swedish in document2. Now, I would like document1 and document2 to position themselves adjacently like this: +-----------+ | document1 | +-----------+ | document2 | +-----------+ or +-----------+-----------+ | document1 | document2 | +-----------+-----------+ with as little of decoration (toolbars, rules and stuff) around them as possible. Can this be done programmatically, i.e, is there support for doing this as the last step in my translation macro? == Replies may very well be sent to me + the newsgroup! == /Tommy Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42718

    - Word 2000 vs 97: User Forms Modal? Can anyone tell me if there was a change from Word97 to Word2000, where when I create a User Form and have it Shown, it will always be Modal? In Word2000, I can have my User Form loaded on top of my Document and I am able to click around in the Document making changes or if I want to debug my VBA code, I am able to step (F8) through my code and watch the changes take place on my document. However, in Word97, with the exact same form and code, I am not able to do this - the User Form appears to be Modal. I am unable to click anywhere in my document - focus is always on the UserForm.

    - FileSearch macro returning incorrect docs? I have a macro in an Excel workbook that takes the values in certain cells to create a search string. The macro then searches all the Word docs in a single folder for docs containing that string. Normally it works well - normally, though, I use only single words. Today, however, I used phrases, and the search returned two documents that didn't fit what I thought my criteria were! I stepped through this and moused over my variables, and they all looked correct. In cell E9, I had "Blackbox Code: 1.9" - this is the one that caused the false returns. One document had "Blackbox Code: 1.7.9.2", which I guess is close; the other had "Blackbox Code: 1.3.5" - it did not contain "1.9" anywhere! One of the other cell values was "XM/SC Class: ABD", and it gave me no problems. Additional note: the three variables were put in the search string with ANDs. If anyone can make suggestions on improving this code to keep this from happening again, I would be most grateful.

    - Information From Excel97 into Word97 I recieve several Excel spreadsheets on a daily basis containing technical information, this information is then extracted from the spreadsheet and placed into a Word document. A seperate Word document gets created for each spreadsheet which is exactly what I want and the data that gets extracted from Excel always comes from the same cells. I can use copy and paste special etc. in order to insert the information into the Word template however I have to do this each time. 1. As I am using a word template and the data in the spreadsheet will always be in the same cells is it possible to just update all of the 'paste special' links in one go, in order to point it at a different spreadsheet ? 2. When I use the 'paste special' function to paste text into word from merged cells (Formatted Text RTF and paste it as a link this is required), a tab gets inserted after the text for each of the merged cells. Is there any way around this ? Thanks Tappie Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42575

    - Difference between running and stepping makro Hi I have written a macro for Word that fills text from textfiles into specific places in my word-document. My problem is, that if I step through the code in the debugger, then everything works just fine, but if I run the macro then it fails. My document looks like this: 2.1 Headline 2.1.1 Subheadline 2.1.2 Subheadline 2 2.2 Headline 2 2.3 Headline 3 2.4 Headline 4 My problem is that it is only in 2.4 it doesn't work. The output is supposed to be like this: 2.4 Headline 4 text, more text and a lot of more text But the output is actually something like 2.4 2.5 text, more tet and a lot of more text 2.6 Headline 4 But only when running the macro and not when I step through it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! -- Jan Eliasen, representing himself and not the company he works for. Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42570

    - Constant problem Hi NG! Im trying to automate Word from Access and it works Ok, except for this line: wdApp.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight Apparently Access VBA will not recognize wdAlignParagraphRight as a word constant, and think of it as a Variable. I have set a reference to the Word 10.0 Object library. If I declare it as a Variable in Access, it expects it to have a value. Do you know how i can do this? All I really want to do is to right aling one paragraph, then reset to left alignment. Regards Jan Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42566

    - Word 2000, 2002 and 2003? Hi Folks, Can anyone point me in the direction of in depth information about these products please? I'm looking to get into the Object model level of these products and the changes between versions (which I know there are) but can't seem to find any helpful resources with the level of documenttaion I need. I know there have been changes in the selection and range objects between 2000 and 2002/3 and I would like to know about any problems encountered between versions. Also the database side of things would be nice to find out about too! file formats, conversion issues etc and how this relates to an comercial enterprise with a large network running different platforms. Any pointers appreciated J Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42565

    - Index/Concordance problem I'm creating an index using a concordance file. The index creates fine, but it seems to randomly miss entries and sub-entries. Any suggestions on what could be occuring? Also, in a 2 column format, is there a way to get the second index page to use only the first column on the second page?? Word splits what's left over into 2 columns and I'd like to get it to just put the entries in the first column THX Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42554

    - AutoOpen - How to Hide it from Alt-F8 I have an AutoNew subroutine that is declared as Public, so that when a user creates a new document from our template, this code will be the first thing to run. How can I have this subroutine hidden from the list of available Macros that the user can run? If the user clicks Alt-F8, they are presented with a list of Macros, including my "AutoNew" macro. If I change it to a Function, it will not show, however, by changing it to a Function will prevent it from running when the user creates a new document.

    - Find/Replace with special characters The following snippet of code will replace occurences of these SGML entities with special characters that are pretty close to the original output: ' Entities ' Handles &circle; entity Selection.HomeKey unit:=wdStory With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .MatchWildcards = False .Text = "&circle;" While .Execute Selection.Range.InsertSymbol _ Font:="Wingdings 2", CharacterNumber:=-3943, _ Unicode:=True Wend End With ' Handles &bullet; entity Selection.HomeKey unit:=wdStory With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .MatchWildcards = False .Text = "&bullet;" While .Execute Selection.Range.InsertSymbol _ Font:="Wingdings 2", CharacterNumber:=-3944, _ Unicode:=True Wend End With So far so good. But how can I code this so that occurences of these entities are replaced in the header/footer? -Yeager Tag: Difference between wdExtend and wdMove Tag: 42546

    - Macro errors after installing Q822036 Am I the only one who had macros fail after installing the latest security patch. 822036 More Details: Fully patched WinXP and OfficeXP. Running macros in Word that look for a footer on the last page of a document as in Q 209220. If the footer is found it is removed. All of a sudden I have two errors. 1. I get a run-time error 4605 saying "This command is not available." 'ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument' OR 2. The macro finishes, but I can not switch "views" by using the four little view buttons on the Lower Left hand corner of the Word window, these are the "Normal view, Web Layout view, Print Layout view, Outline view". Once I switch from Word to another program then switch back into Word these buttons are working again. Anybody else see any problems with the new pacthes.

Selection.HomeKey UNIT:=wdStory, Extend:=wdExtend and Selection.HomeKe
UNIT:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove ?

Thanx

Hi Lyne

> can somebody tell me the difference between
> Selection.HomeKey UNIT:=wdStory, Extend:=wdExtend and Selection.HomeKey
> UNIT:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove ?

While wdMove moves the selection (no inverted text visible),
wdExtend extends the selection to the beginning of the document.
If your cursor is e.g. in the 7th paragraph and you use wdMove,
your cursor is simply moved to the beginning of the document. If,
on the other hand, you use wdExtend, then the first 6 paragraphs
will be selected...

Cheers,

Martin
