    - Letting others use routines I've written My VBA programming has always been only for myself, up to now. But I've created a document conversion program that is needed by others, and I cannot get it to work on their computers. I copied the template to a network drive, then copied from there to Word's Templates directory on a co-worker's computer. Then I attached it to the document that he wanted to convert, but when I bring up the Macros dialog, the list of macros is blank, even when I specify the template name in the "Macros in" box. So there's something I'm missing about the VB environment. Also, it would be nice if, on other machines, users did not have to first attach the template to the document before using it. Any help appreciated. Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61520

    - How do I set TOC Page Numbering with (Page x of y) and sections? Per article 291283 "How to create two page-numbering schemes in one document in Word 2002" - how do I set correct page numbering for the Table of Contents? I was successful in using the Method 1, "Use SEQ fields", but that causes the numbering in the TOC to start at 1 for every section listed, instead of showing the real page number based on the total number of pages.

    - Forms - Protecting Sections Hello all, I have created a Word 97 form which is basically in 2 parts. The first section contains numerous fixed fields and drop down boxes and this section is protected. The second section is an area for freeformat text and so is unprotected. Within the form I have a Macro which when activated copies sections 1 and 2 and creates sections 3 and 4 the first time, 5 and 6 the second time, etc. After the Macro has run I need to reprotect all odd numbered sections and leave all even numbered sections available for freeformat text. Is there any way to do this? ActiveDocument.Sections(all odd numbered sections).ProtectedForForms = True ActiveDocument.Sections(all even numbered sections).ProtectedForForms = False ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="", NoReset:=True, Type:= _ wdAllowOnlyFormFields Grateful for any assistance. Paul. PS low level knowledge of VBA - use the recorder to perform the bulk of the action and then edit a bit where necessary. Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61486

    - Word template only works on one PC I have a Word 97 template file (i.e. .DOT file) that is on a particular PC in our office. The template uses VBA to connect to an Access database (located on a server share) and creates a document based upon some data. When I simply move the particular .DOT file to any other PC and try to create a new file using that template, part of the code fails. When I launch the VBA editor for the template file on the working PC there are several items that I can see that I cannot see when I launch the VBA editor for the template on any other PC: 1) A Modules node under the Normal node that has two modules in it. I can click on these and examine the code. 2) Three additional TemplateProject folders. Although, when I try to view the code for these TemplateProject folders I get a dialog box that says "Project is unviewable". I can tell, based upon the name of one of the TemplateProject folders, that the template VBA code fails (it's a call to WordBasic.Call) on every other PC because these TemplateProject folders (as well as the aforementioned Modules) don't seem to exist on those PCs. So, my basic question is why can I see these VBA project elements on the working PC, but not on any other PCs? I assume there must be some files and/or environment settings on the working PC. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61485

    - speed up vba I use a small vba routine to create new documents. the macro opens an empty document and then adds a few objects (e.g. logo image, header and footer text boxes, etc). some text may also be added.

    - Word and Internet Server documents. Hi, Some time ago, I asked a question concerning slow response when opening a Word document from an Internet server for the first time. All subsequent Word document openings were pretty quick. Someone responded, in very technical language, about SOEs and XCOPY to "prime" the network and caching. However, despite my gentle prodding, he did not elucidate, or distance himself from the abstract or the deeply technical. However, he did raise my hopes that there might be a solution. So here, below, I present my problem, in the hope that someone can be more specific about a solution. ---- I have an ASP page which generates a XML (wrapped in HTLM) file which represents a Word document. Then, from the client side of the Internet connection, I open this newly created document using Word. When first this process runs, following a machine re-boot, it can take up to a minute to complete. Thereafter, it takes 3 seconds. The Word command is something like : Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set doc = objWord.Documents.Open(http://localhost.service/document.doc) ------ Is it true that the network and caching needs priming? If so, does anyone know how to "prime" such, or know of any Web pages that might tell me how. I'm using IIS, under XP, and Word 2000. Many thanks Gem Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61475

    - Inserting AutoText in Header adds extra paragraph marks I am trying to insert AutoText into Headers in my document. I carefully selected just what is needed to create the autotext, but when I insert the autotext into the header it adds an extra paragraph mark (the mirrored 'P'). This cause problems because all my document gets reflowed. Can somebody please help me figure out how I can either delete the paragraph marks or have them not be inserted in there in the first place please? My current code to insert the autotext is the following ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries _ ("myAutoText").Insert _ Where:=ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Headers _ wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range, _ RichText:=True the 'i' is the index for the loop that goes through all my sections. I have also tried to add a delete line before that command but that didnt help either. I used ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Header _ (wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Delete I have checked and rechecked and as far as I can see my autotext (which includes its style) does not have the extra paragraph marks. How can I avoid these marks in the first place or how can I convert the following code to work inside the ranges? Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 This would do what I need. thanks for the help. Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61446

    - Comments in word 2003 and changes Hi, I have a hard time using the "comments" feature in 2003 which I find very confusing compared to the way Word 97 handles them. I have created a macro that mimics the Insert Comments from Word 97 which works ok. I am stumped trying to reproduce, even approximately, Word 97 feature with regards to View Comments, which was straighforward. I find the Markup feature particularly annoying. I wwould like to see the comments in the View menu in a normal display and be able to delete them from there, which presupposes that, as in Word 97, the corresponding initials appear in a visible manner in the text. Likewise with regards to accepting or refusing changes, the new interface is much less convenient (IMHO). Any way the Word 97 behavior could be mimicked? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- John Doue Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61430

I guess several formats would be best but should I add to this list? Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61423

    - Help with Document Objects and other general questions Hi, I am trying to create a macro that will count the occurrence of a list of Words. The list of words is in a two column document with the words listed in column 1. The macro compares each word in column 1 with each word in the document and records the number of matches in column 2. What I have posted below works (seems to), but I am not clear on the use of document objects. Basically I have the document open and then open the word list to create the array. Once the array is created I switch back to the document (why do I have to use documents(2).activate). It seems I should be using documents(1) since it was the orginal open document and appears in the Window menu as #1. Please explain this. I sense that what I have created in grossly inefficient and want to believe that there is a better way than doing a word by word comparison for each word in the list. I toyed with the idea of finding and replacing the words with themselves but couldn't figure out out to get a count. Ideas? Thanks. Sub WordFrequency() Dim ListArray Dim i As Long Dim j As Long Dim k As Long 'Open and build and array of words to count Set WordList = Documents.Open(FileName:="D:\My Documents\Word\Word Documents\Word Tips\Macros\Word List.doc") ListArray = WordList.Tables(1).Range.Text ListArray = Split(ListArray, Chr(13) & Chr(7)) 'Active the orginal document (don't know why this is 2 rather that 1) Documents(2).Activate 'need this starting k value later on k = 2 'compare each word in the list with the words in the doc 'count if match occurs For i = LBound(ListArray) + 3 To UBound(ListArray) - 1 Step 3 j = 0 Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory System.Cursor = wdCursorWait For Each aword In ActiveDocument.Words If Trim(LCase(aword)) Like ListArray(i) Then j = j + 1 End If Next 'switch to the word list Documents(1).Activate 'record the count ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(k, 2).Range.Text = j k = k + 1 'switch back to the orginal document Documents(2).Activate Next End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61414

    - Unsaved changes in the Normal template Due to sloppily written 3rd party apps/add-ins/macros, many users are troubled by the message asking whether they want to save changes to the Normal template. In many/most cases, one has to know how to examine VBA code to determine the cause of such changes. I was thinking of doing the following in a class, but I'm not sure whether this would help or further annoy users. I would include code that checked for a dirty Normal template at class startup AND before each macro runs. I would issue a message asking whether the user wanted the macro to save the changes now, and also give the user an opportunity to cancel the macro. The choices would be Yes, No, Cancel. Is the above useful? In any case, I will include code that checks for changes in Normal when the class terminates. This is to assure that my code does not cause any unintentional changes in the Normal template. -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site. Tag: HELP - Tabs and Paragraphs Tag: 61412

    - saveas method Hey all, This could be an easy question but I can't seem to solve it yet. In my VB program, I am making a reference to the Office Library to use the Excel methods. Everything works fine and I save the file using Workbook.SaveAs TheFileName This statement brings up the confirmation box if the file already exists. However, I do not want it do that and just overwrite the file, if it already exists. How do I do this? I do not want to delete the file before running this because, sometimes, I have to add a new worksheet to an existing file and cannot delete the old worksheets. Thanks for your time / any response.

    - inhserting and then updating info in headers programitically...how? I am new with vba, first time using it and not much of a programmer at all. I have managed to create a macro that automatically detects landscape and portrait pages, and then insert an autotext entry into their headers (a different one for landscape and portrait). Now I need to make the info in the headers come from an a userform or inputbox (inpubox is prefered because is just two pieces of info and it seems easier). So now what am I supposed to do? My guess of what I have to do in order is this 1) modify the autotext entry to include some sort of field a) DocVariable? b) REF ? c) Bookmark? Can you please tell me which of these I need and give me a precise example of how to add this? (I believe each of the three is added in a different way). Also, it seems the term Bookmark and REF field are either used interchangeably or are intimately related...can you please tell me what each one is used for? 2) Add some code in my macro to insert the text variable I collected using the InputBox into the field/variable/bookmark (whichever I am supposed to use) a) is this code supposed to be inserted at the very end of my code since updating the field/REF/Bookmark/etc should automatically replace everything? b) or should I loop through all my sections and replace the variable one by one? I currently go through all the sections to insert the autotext, so I suppose I could just add this command after the autotext is inserted. Either way, can you please show me the exact code I have to write to get this to work. I mention again its for headers since I read its a different approach (probably using ranges, which I still dont understand well) 3) Finally I believe I have to update the fields in some way so that they reflect the inserted variable in my word document. a) is this just one command or another loop through the whole document since it is a header? Can you please show me this code also? I have been looking through newsgroups since thursday afternoon, and have beem trying once thing after the other, and I have not been very lucky. I always seem to either delete the autotext completely, get a type mismatch when trying to assign the variable, or simply acomplish nothing. Its very frustrating. I have already ordered a word book from amazon hopefully that will help me out in the long run, but I need some help right now. please.... help!!!!! By the way, I use word xp and word 2003 in to machines, and this whole programming thing came up because I am sick and tired of having to print out my documents in sections. I want landscape pages to print with portrait headers and portrait pages to print normally (with portrait headers). Like I said, I have resolved everything but this last step..the variables. My documents have many continous sections, and I detect and correctly apply the right header (a normal one for portrait and a frame based one for landscape ones). I am soooooo close, yet its been three days going around in circles with this. Thanks in advance for the help you might be able to provide. And please, give me an example of the exact code, please dont assume that by saying "use ASK REF fields" (or something similar) I will know what you are saying...cause I dont. I have gone through dozens of usenet articles and tried to piece all this info and have been unsuccesfull. Sorry for asking for so much, but its late and I am really frustrated. thanks!!!!!

Hello all,

Would anyone have any suggestions on this? When I start at
the very end of each line preceding each of the (2)
examples below, there is (1) chr(13) for a paragraph mark
and (2) chr(9) for a tab mark. But on line one, you only
go to the beginning of the line and with line 2 you go
over to the Tab2 position. I am guessing that the tab must
have some kind of properties that tells Word to go over to
the tab2 position, but darn if I know what it is.

If anyone could offer any suggestions, it would be greatly
appreciated!

Sorry, just to clarify, my question was how can I tell if
there is any text in the first tab position or in the
second tab position? There is only one chr(9) at the
beginning of each line regardless of where the text
starts.

Thanks!
