    - 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: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72643

For example, if I want to print 30 copies, I'd like each copy to have a different serial number for each one from 01-30. This would ideally be placed in a document footer, and would reset (or not reset) each time the document is openedAny help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72637

    - Clean Up for Merge Code Dear All, I have a template that is creating a new document using data from an access query that is merged into a Word template. All Office 2003 apps on Win2K and XP pro workstations. The document is created -- but there is also an additional "Document 1" that is created every time that has to be deleted -- a copy of the template with no data in it. If anyone can point out how I can eliminate that extra clutter, I would appreciate it. Additionally, my code is messy, since a lot of it was generated by recording. I'd appreciate gentle recommendations for cleaning it up. Right now, it says" Sub autonew() ' Perform Merge using CatalogTextSource.txt ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\TEMP\MtgNoticeSource.txt", ConfirmConversions:=False, _ ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _ PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With ' Save New Merge Document as NewMeetingNotice.doc ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\My Documents\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\cpa_comp\chapters\_chapter Programs\-Chapter Notice E-Form\__Current\NewMeetingNotice.doc", FileFormat:= _ wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _ True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _ False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False Followed by code to clean up and format the document Thnak you in advance for any assistance.

    - Identifying Pictures and Drawing Objects I've done some work with a template that shows and hides graphic images -- allowing a user to fax a document (show image of logo) or print the document on letterhead (hiding image of logo). I found that the picures came in as "Picture 11" and "Picture 22" and so on. I was able to identify them by using the recorder and selecting them and then looking at the code. But I was wondering if there is any, more efficient way, to identify image and drawing objects? Ridge (in New Joisey) Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72628

    - PrivateProfileString I have been using this method to store user defaults for client templates. In probably 8 years I've never had a problem with it. Now, I've had two testers run into problems where the .ini file doesn't seem to be storing, or if it does, it's not where I expect it to be. Since the client is in another city, I can't just sit at their PCs and figure out what's going on, so wonder if anyone here might have experienced any problems with this method. Word 2003.

    - Strange toolbar behavior I have several toolbars with macros assigned to them. Two macros, for no apparent reason I can figure, rearranges the toolbars when I run them. The macros themsleves don't appear to have anything in them that would affect toolbar positions. They are both used to convert fill-in form fields to plain text -- one does the whole document, the other just does whatever is selected. When either macro runs, it moves two of the custom toolbars from one location to another. One toolbar has these macro assigned to it, the other is a custom toolbar with other macros, but not these particular ones. None of the other macros move toolbars around. The macros appears below, for what it's worth. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

    - Incorrect page numbers after inserting files MS XP / Word 2000 â?? 2003 Page Numbering Woes â?? I am having a hard time getting my document to correctly number pages, any help greatly appreciated. I am working on a macro that allows users to apply formatting to a document, add table of contents and insert other documents (called boilerplates) to the beginning of the original (after TOC). I am able to insert the requested documents using the following code: Note: at the time of inserting the documents the table of contents has already been inserted. Sub _Boilerplates() 'add selected boilerplates to current document Dim iCnt As Integer For iCnt = 0 To frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.ListCount - 1 If frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.Selected(iCnt) Then Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView ' Go to second section Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=2, Name:="" Selection.InsertFile FileName:=gstrDocFullPath & _ frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.List(iCnt), _ Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakContinuous End If Next ActiveDocument.Save End Sub After inserting the boilerplates I run the following code to number the pages: Sub _PageNumbers() ' ' Add page numbers to the final document ' Dim i As Integer i = Selection.Sections.Count ' go to top of document and clear find area Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleLowercaseRoman .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True For i = 1 To Selection.Sections.Count + 1 ' Skip to Next Section and number those pages Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToNext, Count:=1, Name:="" Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).LinkToPrevious = False ' Now number body With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleArabic .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = i - 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True Next End Sub What happens is that the newly inserted boilerplates all have the page number 1, as well as the beginning of the original document.

    - Replacing Bookmark Text - Userforms (FYI - I posted this on the beginners, general, and userforms boards.) I have created a template where I created a userform with 2 "fields" (ProjectName and TaskName). Each field corresponds w/a bookmark. I'm using REF commands to link/repeat the bookmarks in the footer of the report. It is all working well except that the data that is input through the userform is getting added to the (default) bookmark text instead of replacing it. I found a MVP document that gives me a general idea of what I need to do (set a bookmark range variable) {MVP Doc: Inserting text at a bookmark without deleting the bookmark}. It includes a subroutine when using a macros/userform, but I'm not sure where to put it. Can anyone help me with this??? THANK YOU! Wendy Now, template bookmarks look like: [ProjectName] and [TaskName]. If I input a 1 (for project name) and a 2 (for task name) in the userform when I open a new document, the bookmark data changes to: [1ProjectName] and [2TaskName]. I need it to change to [1] and [2] (but keep the bookmarks). My VBA code has: AUTONEW MODULE Sub AutoNew() ' ' AutoNew Macro ' Macro created 8/16/2005 by wdaniels ' UserForm1.Show End Sub USERFORM - Commandbutton1 Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("ProjectName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox1 .Bookmarks("TaskName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox2 End With UserForm1.Hide End Sub Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72617

    - Duplex Printing In Word Greetings, I found a macro that is suppose to manually print duplex for printers that don't have the duplex option. The code is suppose to print the current page in the active document, open a messagebox so the user can manually flip the page, and then print the second (or even) page after the user presses ok. The macro does print, but only after the code finishes running. For some reason, it only spools the the first print current page command, and then prints it when the code finishes running.

    - Access Database Update I have an Access database which contains information for a form. I use the database for merging with a Word template which is then sent out to customers via email. I also have text form fields for the customer to fill out in response to the original information. These transactions happen 5 or 6 times a day and cutting and pasting just doesn't cut it since the returned information is lengthy. Everything is working beautifully, except I don't have an easy way to import the data from the text form field back into the database. I would like the returned form to be able to be attached to the Access database much the same way that it works the other way around. Is that possible? The users of this system need a button to be able to do this. If I got hit by a gasoline tanker tomorrow, they wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with the returned info from the Word form.

    - Remembering document-specific window position Certain of my editing tasks involve having multiple open docs in Word. Given limited screen real estate, I carefully size the windows before setting to work, which is a pain. I'd like to write up or find a macro that would, on a document-by-document basis (very important), save the window size/position for that particular document on closing, then, on reopening, have Word get the window properties from the individual doc template or information and restore to the saved position. Ideally, I'd load this in Normal.dot and invoke it with a keystroke combo as an alternative way to close docs. Is there a way to do this? I've searched high and low, but can't find anything on how to do it with VBA (I'm in Word 2002 on WinXP, with VB 6.3). I know it's possible because so many apps do it (including WordPerfect back in the day when I used it), but I don't know if it's doable in VBA. The only thing I find in online VBA resources is discussion of saving the /application/'s main window position and writing to the registry to do so -- but that's not what I'm seeking. Any ideas?

    - Real and curious problems with vba office2000 et office2003 on a computer Since some days, I have some problems with VBA (with Access as well as Word). All these problems exist in Office 2000 as well as in 2003 Some VBA functions do not vork anymore. ========================================================== So the function 'Kill' is completly unefficient. I mean that 'Kill' doesn't kill files, but, worse, give no error message if I ask to 'Kill' a file which does not exists (for example with a bad path). So the line : ----------- Kill "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" ----------- does not give a message. Just the program quit the function where is the line without executing the lines after. There is no error treatment un function. If I put a Rem or a "'" at the begining of the line, the lines after are executed. If the path of the program to kill is bad (for example "c:\progr files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" , there is no error message! ========================================================== The function 'Mkdir' does not work anymore. So the line : ----------- MkDir "c:\xxxxx" ----------- doen't create the dirextory 'xxxxx'. ========================================================== The procedure : ----------- Sub Test () Dim FileNumber as integer FileNumber = FreeFile Open "c:\TEST" For Output As #FileNumber Write #FileNumber, "Ceci est un exemple" Close #FileNumber End Sub ----------- does'nt create the file and the error message says that the file does not exist ! It do not accept to create it... ========================================================== The function 'Shell' does not work anymore. So the line ----------- Shell "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe", vbMaximizedFocus ----------- does'nt launch Internet Explorer. If the path given in string is bad, there is no error message. ========================================================== I don't know if the following problem is bound to there others problems, but now I cannot use the function "Export in Word" or "Export in Excel" or "Export in 'presse-papier'" for exportations of preview of report. No problem if I export to Word a preview of a form or of a table or of a query. But it is now impossible to export a report preview towards Word. =========================================================== I have Windows XP PRO. I have Office 2000 developer, and Office 2003.

    - Writing neat VBA I have a document with Odd and Even pages headers and footers. At this point I insert a new section and which I have to remove the header and footer linking to the previous section. I create a temporary bookmark, add a page break, unlink the primary and even headers and footers, remove the bookmark and then the page break. Everything works as it should and there is no problem. However, below is the code which does all the unlinking and I just wanted to say the same thing but with a little more elegance and finesse. Could somebody therefore, please show me how these few lines might be written in properly coded VBA? ====================== ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekEvenPagesHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekPrimaryHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekEvenPagesFooter Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekPrimaryFooter Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ======================== You might wonder why all the backwards and forwards between the headers, main document and back to the footers with the selection of the temp bookmark in between? Well, I found that Word "got lost"(i.e. didn't go to where I expected it to go) if I told it to unlink the odd and even headers and then do the same with the odd and even footers. It somehow got confused and went and did things either in the previous section or the one following the new section. I created some explicit actions and that did the trick!!

    - Add documents via listbox I need to insert documents, at either the front or end of the open document, from either a network drive or user hard drive. I would like to make these files available to users via a listbox on a form. I have been able to use file scripting object to browse to the files and add them to the list box using the following code: Sub GetFiles() Dim fs, f, f1, fc, fn, s Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.GetFolder("C:\Documents") Set fc = f.Files For Each f1 In fc ' fn = f1.FileName If InStr(1, f1.Name, "boilerplate", vbTextCompare) Then Set fn = fs.GetFile(f1) lbBoilerplates.AddItem (fn) End If Next Set fs = Nothing End Sub This is all good, however: The list box is populated with the entire path and file name. What I would like to do is list only the file name. When the user selects desired documents (could be 1 or many) I would then insert the files into the document. Question: How do I get only the filename without the path for populating the listbox? I have been unable to retrieve only the filename without performing string functions to strip out the file name.

    - Which menu item activated - how? Hi I'd like to be able to identify if a menu item (any menu item) has been activated both by click and by accelerator key. I found a message on google groups that kind of provides a solution but I'm having trouble figuring it out and I was wondering if anyone might be able to explain how to use it? The text of the post is below. I understand steps 1-3 but I get lost at step 4: How would I call the sub in step 4? Would I just put it in a regular module? What would be an example of an "Ctrl" argument for the sub in step 4? Also, I note that the sub is called "MyControl_Click". Would that work even if the user activated the menu item using an accelerator key, not the mouse? The post says that code needs to be written to instantiate the class object. Does that mean a Property Get statement? Lastly, in step 3 the SaveAs button ID is specified. How would that Set statement be written if I wanted to get the id number for whatever menu item was activated? Many thanks for any help! Here's the original post: "You can do it by trapping the click event for the control. 1. Add a class module to the VBA project. 2. Declare a variable to trap the events: Public WithEvents MyControl As Office.CommandBarButton 3. In the module's initialize event, find the control you want to monitor. Private Sub Class_Initialize() Set MyControl = Application.CommandBars.FindCoÂntrol(ID:=748) End Sub (748 is the ID of SaveAs option on the File menu). 4. Write an event procedure for when the control is clicked: Private Sub MyControl _Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean) MsgBox "FileSave Clicked" End Sub The click event is fired before the built-in command is run. Set CancelDefault = TRUE to prevent the built-in command running. 5. Write some code (eg in AutoExec) to instantiate your class object. You'll need to re-run this code if you do anything that resets the VBA project, like editing any code." (The original post I'm quoting from is http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.vba.general/msg/5c81f19b8c21b4b5?hl=en&) Thanks again Mike Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72524

    - General Question About Userforms and Properties Hi, I am using WORD 2000 and I have a general question about Userforms and Properties. Userform-1 displays a custom dialog, Userform-2. Userform-1 has to know which command button(s) were pressed in Userform-2. Arguments are "passed" between the forms by property statements. Userform-2 sets properties in Userform-1 by using the CallByName statement. Userform-1 object and property names set in Userform-2 via property statements. Has anybody had any problems using the above described scenario? That is, are there problems using property statements in Userforms and using the CallByName statement? It does seem to work but I would just like to know if there are any "gotchas". Thanks in advance for any help, advice and tips. Jerry Bodoff Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72518

    - Help on Excel-Word project I have to take an excel spreadsheet that has contact info and a brief bio and format them in a word document. The columns in the spreadsheet are lastname, firstname, address1, address2, city, state, zip, phone, email, bio, awards (among others) I would like to selectively place these into the word document like this: lastname, firstname address1 [address2] (if non-blank) city, state, zip [phone] (if ok to release) [email] (if ok to release) bio awards I don't want the blank lines to show if it's not anything in it, or if they've not authorized us to release the info. There are other columns in the spreadsheet (as to what classification they'd fall into) that I may not want printed in the word document. We're wanting to update just the Excel document with the data, and have it formatted in the word document when we open it (I am sure we will tweak the word document formatting some), but we don't want to do any data entry into the word document - only in excel. Can anyone help, or perhaps guide me to a source that I can learn quickly on? BC Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72506

    - Word printing slow when called from Access I'm calling Word 2003 from Access 2000, late bound. Here is a routine that till very recently printed light duty word docs pretty fast (shorthand) Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") ' Open a doc so the selections can print, need a loaded doc... objWord.Documents.Add strSomeDoc objWord.PrintOut Background:=False, FileName:="c:\mydoc.doc" For some reason it jams up word for about a minute before anything starts to print. I can't think of anything that's changed recently on this pc, other than I've applied winxp sp2. Not sure how to approach this...in task manager, word never goes over 2% of cpu.

    - How to print a doc using absolute page numbers? Is there any way to print a document using absolute page number? For example let's say my doc has 10 pages. The absolute 6th page is the 2nd page of section 3 (p2s3). In the print dialog if I give p2s3 it prints the correct page. Similarly is there a syntax to give the absolute page number in the print dialog? (what I want is something like: (some symbol)6 to be given in the print dialog and to print the absolute 6th page. ) Thank you for any information.

    - How to tell if macro has been executed I have a series of macros that offers the user options to run all or only part of the macros. It opens with a form that has check boxes with three selections (Insert Table of Contents, add Frame and add Page Border) and the user can select all or only one, etc. The program runs fine the first time through, but if it is run again it can get messy if options already run are chosen again. Is there a way that I can check to see if a selection has been executed, even if the document has been closed and re-opened? Thank you. Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72493

    - Word 200 Blank document Every time i open a blank document there is text from another document already there. How can i stop this? Cheers -- Rye Tag: Display Print Dialog Tag: 72491

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.

Hi Ben,

Insert this line immediately after the Sub statement:

Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Display

The .Display method displays the dialog box, and it will accept a
change of printer and other parameters, but it won't actually print
(unlike the .Show method).
