WordBasic.Call to function in a module?
I've got a .dot file on a pc here at the office that is used via Word (i.e.
File | New ) to create a document based upon some data in an access database
located on a network share that all PCs have a drive mapped to. The
original developer is no longer here and I'm trying to move that .dot file
to another PC so the user there can use it. So, I copied the .dot file to
the same templates folder on the other PC. When I run the code, I get an
error that the "Object doesn't support this property of method".
I click the debug button and an instance of the VB editor launches and I see
that the problem is in a call to WordBasic.Call. The problem is the first
parameter. It is referencing a procedure in a module in argument is in the
form of "mymod.someprocedure$". I know this is something that we coded
in-house because of the name of mymod and the context of the call (it's
calculating something specific to our business).
I assume the file, etc. that contains the code that WordBasic.Call is trying
to call is on the old PC, but I just don't know what I should be looking
for. So, what I'm trying to figure out is, in the VBA world, what form does
a "module" take and how is it referenced by the vba code and/or the .dot
file. Any help I could get to make this .dot work on the other PC would be
much appreciated.

Corrupted Table Error Message
When I open a document I receive an error message regarding a corrupted table
I am trying to delete the corrupted table. I canâ??t even see the table but
the following line reveals that I have 2 in a document:
ActiveDocument.Tables.Count
When I use code to go to the table: ActiveDocument.Tables.items(1).select, I
move to down about 20 pages to the table. I canâ??t see the table but ASSUME
that it is selected. If I try ActiveDocument.Tables.items(1).delete then the
table is not deleted.
Any thought?

Create Sequential Dates
Hello Teachers,
Today I spent some time trying to come up with a way to enter a
sequence of dates in a document. Basically the OP had an Itenerary
Day 1 Jan 07, 2005
Day 2 Jan 08, 2005
etc.
I posted a solution where the user would run a macro to create a
collection of numbered DocVariables each storing the next days date.
Then in the document I inserted DocVariable fields with nested Quote
and Seq fields.
Day {Seq Date} { DocVariable{ Quote Var{ Seq dayNum }}
Day {Seq Date} { DocVariable{ Quote Var{ Seq dayNum }}
etc.
The macro to create the DocVariables follows:
Sub DateSeq()
Dim myDate As Date
Dim dayNum As Long
Dim numDays As Long
myDate = InputBox("Enter the start date in 1/31/2005 format.", "Start
On", Date)
numDays = InputBox("Enter the sequence length in days.", "Sequence
Length", "14")
For dayNum = 0 To numDays
ActiveDocument.Variables("Var" & dayNum).Value = Format(myDate +
dayNum - 1, "dddd, mmm d yyyy")
Next
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
End Sub
I looked through the Google data base for anything close and didn't
seeing anything. This seems to work, but I am to declare victory. I
would appreaciate any comments on this method or suggestions for a
better method.

Not stopping at breakpoint - upgrading from Word 97 to 2003
We're upgrading from Word 97 to Word 2003. In 97 I could open a template,
open the vb editor, make some changes in the code, (not saving them in case
they were incorrect), put in some breakpoints, then go to File/New/General/
select my template, test run the macro and it would stop at my set
breakpoints. When I test a macro in 2003, it doesn't stop at the set
breakpoint. It's like it's opening the saved version of the macro instead of
running the one I already have open. I don't want to just hit run because I
don't want the macro to insert data into my master template. Is there some
setting that needs to be changed in Word 2003 that I'm missing?

*Background info: Some of the files will be selected on the user form by
the user. Also, the user will set only one of the files as the "main

Tools for creating application to integrate with Word
Hi, I'm going to write a program that is to be integrated with word and I
don't quite know where to start. I've been fiddling with VBA for a while but
there are too many limitations. I need to know what tools will make the task
easier.
- It should be possible to fire via a word toolbar.
- I need to use functions that are obviously used internally by Word but
that I can't find in the VBA docs, like the _correct_ word count as opposed
to the one described in the docs that counts newlines and punctuation. I can
write my own, but prefer to use what already exists.
- I need to package the program nicely so it's easy to install.
What tool(s) will be more helpful? Should I go with .NET? Which programming
language? I know C++ well, and some VBA. Perhaps C#?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :-) Tag: Dual page numbering and TOC Tag: 61313
Changing Styles
This is crazy. I am trying to change the style "COOL" in the document to
another style called "NOTSOCOOL". I wrote this:
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
.Style = "COOL"
.ClearFormatting
.MatchWildcards = False
With .Replacement
.Style = "NOTSOCOOL"
End With
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Doesn't work! I am positive that nothing extra is set, the same code (when
.style is removed and .text is added) finds and replaces words with no
problems. The styles definitely exist and I did a manual Find and Replace
(Edit - Find) and it works fine.
What's wrong with the code?

Limits in Heading Numbered paragraphs and cross references
Anybody know of "documentation" of the apparent limits in Word(97, 2000,
2002. 2003) that apply to heading numbering. I used Word 2003 for the
following.
I tried to find out how many heading numbered paragraphs could be contained
in a single document.
So I wrote a little macro to keep generating paragraphs, each consisting of
only the counter.
I interrupted the macro when the count got to a bit under 36000. I then
applied the Heading 1 style to the whole document.
So each paragraph is numbered from 1 to the number of paragraphs and the
text of the paragraph is the same as the paragraph number.
I then used the Insert | References menu to insert a reference, initially
using the /h option.
I was able to successfully insert a reference to the number of the last
paragraph, however, when I almost immediately followed that by attempting to
insert a reference to the paragraph's text, the cross reference inserted was
to an entirely different paragraph.
I tried a few more insertions, eventually getting to the point where the
incorrect cross reference was always inserted, and finally to a point where
the Insert Cross Reference dialog, in effect, blew up. Ultimately, an
attempt to insert a reference to the later paragraphs, caused things to hang
AND the first 32767 items disappeared from the list of headings in the cross
reference dialog.
In addition, Norton Auntie Virus 2004 got blown out of the System tray. I
did not notice the point at which this occurred. Note that I do not use the
NAV Office plug-in and I disabled NAV's Autoprotect when I ran the macro, so
NAV should not have been poking around.
Perhaps, most important, I noticed the following.
While scrolling thru the list of Headings in the cross reference menu, the
first 32767 were listed in a normal font, but starting with 32768, both the
paragraph number and text are dimmed
My questions include:
1. What is the limit on the number of Heading numbered paragraphs that may
be included in a document?
2. What is the limit on the number of such paragraphs that may be
consistently cross referenced via the cross reference menu?
I do recall seeing a statement that the number of bookmarks in a document
is limited to about 16K. Obviously, that places an upper limit on the number
of heading paragraphs that can be cross referenced, and the number is
reduced further by other bookmarks that may be used in the document.
So, I also must wonder why Word allows the inclusion of more heading
paragraphs than the bookmark limit without some sort of warning? Heck, I
imagine if I tried to generate a TOC, things really would have gone haywire.
And, of course, my last silly question, where's the documentation?

Storing Program Settings
Hello,
I have around 30 (at most) text boxes and combo boxes that have settings
which need to be stored and restored when the program starts. (This is a VBA
program but I think, it also applies to VB). In the future, many more
settings could be added and they would also have to be saved and loaded
(like a template a program uses for different conditions). I am not sure
about the best way to go about this that could save coding in the long run.
I wanted to write a text file like:
Condition1;Value1;Value2;Value3
Condition2;Value1;Value2;Value3
Condition3;Value1;Value2;Value3
and when loading this file, to load (say) the first three textboxes with
their corresponding values, I would split each line and check the condition
and populate the textboxes / comboboxes. Is this the best way to do this?
Thank you for your time / responses.

Running a Macro in a Template, on Event
Hi.
I have a macro that I've constructed in word which will insert bookmarks as
per a table template that I've created in our Visual FoxPro based
database/frontend. The Visual FoxPro frontend inserts this information into
Word - and I've also instructed it to use a word template which contains my
Macro
The Macro works fine, but what I'm wanting to do is automate the process,
rather than having to run the Macro once the document has been produced from
FoxPro, using the .dot file.
Is there any way to make this happen? I've tried several of the On-Events
but none of them seem to work. What I basically want it to do, is once the
Document has been opened and the information has been sent to it from our
FoxPro database, that the Macro automatically runs
Thanks in Advance

Word Template - wanting to run a Macro on opening
Hi
I have a Word template that I've created which has a macro attached to
insert bookmarks across a letter template we have in our database
system. The database system uses the object libraries in Word to
create the Word Document and can use a template to start its design

extract from our database. What I am wanting to do is make the code
run automatically as soon as the template has been opened.

Not Visible Files
I have a routine that performs functions A,B & C when a document is open
(determined by "If Documents.count>0") and functions D,E & F when no documents
are open (and the screen is 'grey').
Ocassionally a file that I opened in VBA with the "visible:=False" method
set apparently is still technically open although it appears not to be (i.e.,
the screen is grey) (and it is not supposed to be. The routine that was
supposed to close it did not.)
How can I test for the existence of an open, not visible document.and then
close it? Documents.count always returns 1 in this situation but if I try to
close the ActiveDocument I get a runtime error saying that the function cannot
be performed because no document is open.

line, how can I determine if there is anything at Tab 1
for the second line?

It's supposed to take a list of URLs, one per line, and extract some
information from it and then put that on the next line. It does that fine,
but I need it to repeat until the end of the document.
Right now, it does the first line and then a message pops up asking me if I
want to continue searching the rest of the documnet. If I click no, the macro
stops. If I click yes, the macro finds "-" and replaces with a space.
I need the macro to somehow automatically quit finding "-" and return to the
beginning of the macro and continue on until there are no more URLs in the
document.
The URLs look like this:
[http://mydomain.com/this-page.html]
[http://mydomain.com/this-other-page.html]
And I'm trying to get:
[http://mydomain.com/this-page.html]
this page
[http://mydomain.com/this-other-page.html]
this other page
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Regex & Wildcards
Hey,
I need to find the following by matching Wild Cards.
1.1 mol/L
1 mol/L
1mol/L
1.1 mol /L
1 mol /L
1mol /L
1.1 mol / L
1 mol / L
1mol / L
1.1 mol/ L
1 mol/ L
1mol/ L
A sentence could contain any one this. For instance "James drank a solution
of Nitrogen Peroxide with a concentration of 5.15 mol/L".
This is what I could come up with:
([0-9.]@)( @)(mol/L)
Takes care of any numerals / decimals but does not account for:
a) The space between the number and mol/L (It looks for one space or more
but there is a possibility that a space might not exist like 1.1mol/L)
b) It strictly looks for mol/L and can't account for mol / L, mol/ L or mol
/L. In order to use this, I would have to repeat each instance with
appropriate spaces!
Questions:
1) How do I write a single Wildcard match for all the possibilities listed
above?
2) How can I say "Optional" in Regex. Eg. Di[peg] could be anyone of "Dig"
"Dip" or "Die". But I need to say that "Di" may or may not be followed by
"p" "e" or "g". In Perl, I would say "(Di)([epg])*" How do I say that in
VBA?
Thanks a lot for your time / any reponse.

>> Mail message
Hi, I have created a word template that is used as an
email template. When used to create a new document the
email address detail section is visible. When creating a
new document using code the email section is not visible.
I have tried the line...
Set docReminder = Documents.Add( _
Template:=TEMPLATE_PATH & "Contracter Report
Reminder.dot", _
DocumentType:=wdNewEmailMessage, _
Visible:=False)
But the document type wdNewEmailMessage causes a blank
email page. That is the contents of the template are
removed.
How do I show the email address section when creating a
document using code?
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-)
Thanks

Question about hover tips
I can't find what to call these so I'm referring to them as hover tips. I'm
referring to the messages that appear when I run my cursor over the toolbar
icons. For example, when I just placed my cursor over the "New Post" icon
in Outlook Express, "Write Message" appeared.
My question is whether VBA supports such a functionality on userforms. I'd
like a brief explanatory message to pop up when a user runs their cursor
over a check box option.

Print Layout window VBA Code
I am writing a VBA macro for a word template and when I open the document it
comes up in the normal view instead of the print layout view. After the
document is open I can go View - Print Layout but others will be using the
template so I would like it to open automatically in the Print Layout view. I
am using Word 2003. How can I make the document open in Print Layout using
VBA code.

How do I put a border around just 1 column?

Word (.doc) -> Text (.txt) conversion
I'm running a large site which received many .doc files daily which
need to be converted into plain text, the purpose of which is to supply
data for the site's search engine which then points users to the
appropriate .doc files. The raw text is also needed to populate HTML
preview pages for the .doc files.
My question is simple - what is the easiest (preferably server side)
method for converting .doc files into raw text. I'm running Windows
server so I presume that .doc API and script commands would be fairly
easy to implement. If a server side solution is impossible then a
locally executed method could fit the bill too. It just needs to be
QUICK and AUTOMATED. I'm not going to copy and paste from MS Word into
Notepad for 10 hours every day.
Any suggestions kindly requested.

AutoCorrect.dot : Run-time error '5941' ?
greetings!
and apologies if this is the wrong forum (please redirect me if it is).
i need to export and import all my AutoCorrect entries, so they can be
transferred to another machine. when i run dave rado's autocorrect.dot
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm) on work2k
(under winxp) i get an error box saying
"Run-time error '5941':
The requested member of the collection does not exist."
when i click "end" (1 of 3 choices, the other being "debug" and "cancel"), i
get a newly created word document with a table, several rows filled with my
entries, and then several more table rows empty.
saving this document, and running autocorrect.dot (restore) on it gets me
another box saying "This document is not in the correct format for an
AutoCorrect Backup document".
i tried deleting the blank table rows, saving, and using this instead, but
get the same "This document is not ..." error box.
i tried running Macros9.dot, but only a very few rows are created, meaning,
most of my autocorrect entries are ignored.
any and all help would be appreciated!
cheers,

How do I display different parts of a Word document based on form.
I am creating a Word Template which needs to display different sections of
the document based on the selection in a form field at the beginning of the
document. I need to minimize macro's - although I know this will require
one. I don't want to put the entire text of the required section in the macro
if there is a way to create the document and simply 'hide' the unnecessary
sections based on form field selection. Any ideas? Tag: Dual page numbering and TOC Tag: 61219

Read Tabstops Manually applied to a paragraph
I want to read only the tabstops that have been manually applied
to a paragraph (Not tab stops in the style or the default tab stops).
Both of the following reads default tab settings.
Greatly appreciate all Help.

Selection.Information
Hi,
I am using the following to get the number of pages there
are in a Word document (from within Excel). I can also use
it directly in Word without the "appWrd ".
Dim EndPage as Integer
EndPage = appWrd.Selection.Information
(wdNumberOfPagesInDocument)
This works sometimes, but the other times I get the error
message "Run Time Error 91 Object Variable or With Block
Variable not Set".
Is there something additional I need to do so I do not get
this error? I do not understand why it works sometimes but
not all the times.

repeat Find & Replace until no more ocurrences are found
Hi,
I want to replace all instances of multiple consecutive spaces in a
document.
When I record a Find & Replace command, 2 spaces are replaced with 1.
And 3 spaces become 2; 4 become 3, etcetera, so multiple spaces still exist.
This is the recorded code from Word XP.
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = " "
.Replacement.Text = " "
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
How can I efficiently change the code so it goes on replacing multiple
spaces until only single spaces are left?
