    - Project Unviewable -word 2000 Hi, I'm having a problem with a template that contains coding that I created. When I use VBE, I'm getting a dialog box that says Project locked, and unviewable. I can't access the coding. Is there a workaround to this? jbc Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77953

    - Inserting a tick (check) in front of selective text Hi, Please could i ask some advise on a small project that temporarily has me stumped. My intention is provide a a userform that is filled with labelled checkboxes. The label captions match words already present in a word doc arranged in two columns. I wish to use vba code to allow the user to check the required checkboxes on the userform and on hitting the command button, a tick(check) or some other symbol be placed infront of the coresponding word in the document BUT with the text not moving to the right to make way for the tick symbol. Although the words in the doc are arranged in columns they are tabbed in place. I would prefer not to use columns in the doc for various reasons but if needs must........ Any suggestions as to how I should proceed.? I just seem to be getting more and more complicated solutions (that dont work) to what is probably a simple problem. Many thanks Gem_man Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77951

    - Template Frustrations I'm trying to get the check-boxes to work in a custom template. I've tried saving as one of the included templates and can get it to work fine except: 1. The template size blows out to 13mb 2. I can't get the top and bottom margins to 'stick' (even though when I 'open' the template for editing it appears correct, but when I start a new one it reverts back to the normal standard). I have another template that has exactly the same formatting that appears just as I want it, but I can't get the check buttons to work, even when I import the same module. It gives me an error: "Requested member of the collection does not exist". Any ideas? Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77950

    - User Form/Page Layout question I have established a template/form for a title page of a proposal. The user of the template/form would enter the information: title, date, address, etc...and that would be inserted in to the Title Page (via bookmarks) formatted appropriately. The length of the title could vary significantly. However, there are three items at the bottom of the page that I would like to stay at the bottom of the page. The first of the three is a text box anchored to the one-row table (with the other 2 items) I have set up (and I don't want it be a footer) at the bottom of the page. How can I make it where the items at the bottom of the page stay where they are regardless of the length of the title and other info that could affect page placement (there are paragraphs markers (I know, they're awful!) to get the items in the appropriate place. Please assist me with: 1. Getting rid of the naked paragraph markers 2. Making sure the info at the bottom of the page stays there without regard for the length of the title 15 rows above. I can provide a copy of the template if you need to see it. I apologize in advance if my description of the problem is unclear. Laura Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77948

    - VB Macro to delete text at the end of each of the files in a folde Please help. I was shocked to discover that all of the files I am working with have corrupt text at the end. I have 500 .txt text files in folder c:\rules\. Each file is about 40MB. I wanted to manually delete the corrupt text, however it takes too long to open each file in Notepad [because those files are so large]. The first line of each file contains text "Rule=1" The number following text "Rule=" that is found throughout the files is incremented by 1 each time this text appears in the file. May I please ask you to help me by writing a macro that will do the following: 1. Open folder c:\rules\ 2. Open the first file in that folder. 3. The macro has to find the second to last line that contains the text "Rule=". Let us refer to this line as 2toLast 4. The macro should delete all text below the 2toLast line. The macro has to also delete the 2toLast line. 5. The macro should save the changes made to the file. 6. The macro should go to the next file in the folder c:\rules\, and repeat steps 3-5 7. Repeat step 6 until run out of files in folder c:\rules\. Example The first file in c:\rules\ is called acred2sub1.txt It begins with text "Id=23859, Rule=1, Gen=0, training = 11.5444689897386>0.0000>100670.4175{1.9803 1.0000}, selection =

I want the user to be able to scroll through that document and then add customized comments (textboxes, actually) at specific locations via a series of controls I have created. This is working fine. I need the controls to always be present, even as the user scrolls through the document. I tried placing the controls (buttons, etc.) in one cell of a table and the document in another, larger cell, but I cannot get the document cell to scroll.

    - VBA used to create automatically increment invoice number I used the Macro on the web site (Article ID : 212686) to create an Insertion order form, each of which must have a unique number. The macro worked great but the next step is to enter the number in our corporate system. The number must be a 5-digit number. I've never used Visual Basic before and am trying to understand how I can change the number format in the form or in the macro to start at 00001. Everything I've tried so far does not take. We go through insertion orders like potato chips. If I could figure out how to format to 5-digits through the macro named above, I would be raised on a pedestal by my boss.

    - Un-tripping security settings in Word I've just added a new sub-procedure to our word template (we use large macros extensively), but I can't get the macro to enable. It's a macro I wrote from scratch and added to the toolbar. The security settings disable the macro even though my security is set to low and I have trust all add-ins and templates selected, and trust access to VB project selected. I've tried re-starting a couple of times and nothing is working. I went to microsoft.com and couldn't find any information other than "set your security lower". I've had this happen before, and it's really hampering our abilities to write macros. Has anyone else run into this? Any help would be most appreciated. Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77929

    - Headers should not appear in the first section. I'm trying to create a macro that sets the headers for a document in the following way: - Odd & even pages have different headers (no problem here); - The first 2 pages of the document should not contain any headers (these pages make up section 1 of the document) (problem here); - Page numbering should start from 1 on the third page (which is the first page of section 2) (no problem here); - The remaining pages of the document are in various sections. The problem so far is that I can't get this to work in any way (not even manually). I always end up with a header on page 2 (but not on page 1, although I mentioned that the first page should not be threated special.) I'd be very happy with code advice or anything that enables me to create a correct situation manually first. Kind regards, rVo Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77913

    - Programmatically setting margins not working Hello Everyone, I posted this message back in May but was then pulled off of the project and onto something new and didn't have time to revisit it. I am still having this exact error. The program is actually sitting on a network drive on a windows 2000 box and when the user open from there the margins are set the same as the normal template and have not changed to what i set them too, they do not experience any error messages or anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas would help greatly!! I have a macro that produces a word document when all is said and done. I have some code that goes and sets the margins programmatically, the code is as follows: Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range With myRange .PageSetup.TopMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1) .PageSetup.BottomMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1) .PageSetup.LeftMargin = CentimetersToPoints(0.9) .PageSetup.RightMargin = CentimetersToPoints(0.9) .Font.Size = 11 .Font.Name = "Times New Roman" End With this works perfectly when i run it on my own machine but when it's run on other people's machines it doesn't work at all. I should also note that the font setting works on any computer and that the page margins and font are different in Normal.dot on my computer and the others i have tested on. Am i doing something wrong?? Thanks, Erin Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77906

    - Toolbars, Add-ins, etc. Hi all, I've been tasked with writing a transcription program. I have to use Word. I have some questions about programming in Word. I've done a bit of automation in the past. The basics are that the application will be a fat client residing on the users machine. The app starts with a login screen. The user types in a user name/password and clicks a button. The username and password are submitted to a webserver for authentication and profile retrieval. Upon successful logon, the app will start an instance of Word. There will be a custom toolbar with all the buttons the user will need to request new jobs, etc. All data needs to be transferred back and forth through an SSL connection to the web server. Will be utilizing Word 2003. I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge in Word terminology. Anyhoo... Toolbars. Can I create a custom toolbar (with my own custom actions that will be performed upon clicking) that will only be available (visible?) under certain circumstances. Say, perhaps, when a certain template was loaded? I understand I can put the toolbars in a template document ( .dot file). Is this correct? I don't particularly want to do that. There will be a "generic" template but there will also be at least 4 different templates for each client. The templates can not be stored on the local drive either (they must be "fed" to the application upon user request). I was thinking an Add-in here. But, I don't want the toolbar to load if say, the user starts Word the "normal" way to type a letter to grandma, etc. How can I load a document template from a url? I need to do this without "prompting" the user at all. The template, I suppose, could be saved temporarily on the users hard-drive and then loaded from the hard-drive. I would like to load it from the url and not have to save it to the hard-drive first. How can I save a document back to a web server? I cannot save it back to a drive letter:\path because there won't be any mapped network shares. I cannot allow the user to save the document on their local hard-drive either. I do not want to "prompt" the user. The document templates will have "fields" or "tags". For example, lets say there are 5 tags: tag1, tag2, ...tag5. Let's say the cursor is in between tag2 and tag3. Is there anyway I can capture the "tab" key such that when the user presses it, it tabs between tags? For instance, say the cursor is in the above mentioned place, the user presses the tab key and the cursor moves to the "start" of the next tag (tag3). If the user presses "shift + tab" the cursor moves back to the previous tag (tag1). That's all I have for now. I'm sure I'll be back. Thanks a bunch for any suggestions, hints.

In other words, I would like to retain the last value I obtain by an input box for the next time I run the code. Can the value be saved within the code? Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77887

    - Find and replace in Excel X for Mac Using Excel X for Mac, I'd like to find all commas in a column and replace them with hard returns/carriage returns (not soft returns). Since Excel doesn't recognize the Cntrl-Option-Return combo when I use the Replace function, I'm guessing I'll have to use a formula or a macro. I've seen several great suggestions for PC users, but none for Mac users. Thanks. Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77882

    - Read word document text page-by-page Hi Is there any method by which I can read a word file from my VB application page-by-page? Currently, I can open the file and save the text as a text file, but what I need is a way to know the page numbers, so I though instead of saving the text as a text file, I might be able to read the text from the word file page-by-page and add the page numbers then save the text to a text file.

    - Chechbox problem I have designed a survey with checkboxes from control tool. I exit from the "Design Mode" and then save the document as word document (office 2002). When I open the document, it opens in "design mode" so people who are supposed to put a check mark in the boxes, are not able to do so unless they exit from the design mode first and then everything works fine. Not every one can recognize this problem, so how can I save the document so that when it is opened, it does not open in design mode? Thanks for your help. Dori Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77861

    - Need help with border removal in a cell Hi, I've been trying for hours to remove the bottom border of a cell in a Word table. I must be missing something obvious, so I hope someone can help me: The code I am using (from MS Access VBA) is the following: With doc.Tables.Item(1) ' removing stuff that works With .Cell(tbl.Rows.Count - 2, 4).Range .Text = "Here !" .Borders(wdBorderBottom).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders.Enable = True End With ' removing other stuff that works as well End With For that particular cell, I would like to have no bottom border drawn. I am sure I am referencing the right cell because I am putting the "Here !" text and it appears as expected. I also checked that other contiguous cells formatting do not interfere with this one (e.g. activating the top border of the cell located under the one for which I want to remove the bootom border). Any help would be appreciated. Xavier Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77815

    - UserForm Is A Class I just finished reading a skull splitting discussion about "Magic Forms" and UserForms being Classes, etc, etc. One of the arguments put forth is that UserForms are classes and should be used as such. Quote: "Take the situation where you need to know in the code that loads the form whether the user pressed Cancel or OK." The author proposed that the solution was to extend the form by creating a read only property called "Cancel." He went on to provide about half the code necessary to do this and I can't figure out the rest. I have tried to construct a workable code from samples I have of created of another property in a class module. It simply isn't working. My question is how do you do what the author above (Peter Hewett) proposed. I have the code I attempted with an asterisk to the right of the lines Peter listed in his article. I get a compile error on the line: If myFrm.Cancel Then * "Method or DataMemeber not found" Thanks The code Public Sub MagicFormDiscussion() * Dim myFrm As oFrm6 * Set myFrm = New oFrm6 * Load myFrm myFrm.Cancel = False myFrm.Show * If myFrm.Cancel Then * MsgBox "Form was canceled" * Else * MsgBox "Form exited normally" * End If * MsgBox "Form complete" * Unload myFrm * Set myFrm = Nothing * End Sub * The UserForm (Simple form with two command buttons) Option Explicit Public mboolCancel As Boolean * Private Sub CmdCancel_Click() * mboolCancel = True * Me.Hide End Sub * Private Sub CmdOK_Click() * mboolCancel = False * Me.Hide End Sub * Private Property Get Cancel() As Boolean * Cancel = mboolCancel * End Property * Public Property Let Cancel(NewValue As Boolean) mboolCancel = NewValue End Property * -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

    - Need to know how to un-select a textbox and return to top of page Hello, I have a document with several textboxes near the top. I'm using a macro to insert text into them. After I have added my text to the last one, I need to un-select the textbox and return the cursor back to the top left (home?) of the document so I can move down the page to start inserting more text (NOT in another textbox, just on the page). I can't figure out how to do this with VBA code. Normally I can just click the mouse cursor back at the top of the doc after typing in the last textbox, but obviously this can't be done while recording the macro. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    - insert DATABASE within mailmerge essentially I have a mail merge that produces headings and parameters for a DATABASE query, so for every mailmerge heading there is a new query that produces a table under that mailmerge heading. Problem is that I want to use me.path in order to fill the path to the database in the query vs. hard coding it. Below are some scratchy comments about what I have tried so far. when you do an insert -> DATABASE and use a mailmerge field inside of the text that you use for the DATABASE connection. I need to use the me.path in that as well but don't know how to replace that text. I know I can access that DATABASE text via: ActiveDocument.Fields(2).Code For example if I make a button and in the click event put a msgbox(ActiveDocument.Fields(2).Code) it will show me what is being used in the DATABASE query. But when I try to fill a string var with the correct code and stick that string into the ActiveDocument.Fields(2).Code object via: ActiveDocument.Fields(2).Code = tempstr it errors. maybe because I am running it inside the document.open() func. if not here then where do I run it? I can't do it manually via buttons etc. this is all suppose to be an automated process. Tag: Help Text on button Tag: 77771

    - UserForm Data Validation. I tried and tried but can't figure it out. Steve Hudson was schooling me in UserForms earlier today. He advised user form code should pretty well only exist in order to provide data validation trough calling public procedures. I tried employing one of his "modified" suggestions as follows. I have a simple userform oFrm1 with a 1) command button and 2) a frame with one textbox inside. The purpose of this exercise is to learn to pass information from a calling macro to a UserForm and report validated information back to the calling macro. I am using an input box with a default value to set the Frame.Caption in the UserForm. This part works. I am using the textbox in the Userform to provide raw data to a Function. The Function is supposed to validate the data. Then the validated textbox data is used to set the value of a calling macro msgbox. Everything works if the data is valid. The problem I can't figure out is correcting invalid data. On the first pass, invalid data is detected and I am directed back to the Userform. However, when I then enter valid data the routing complete but the data is lost. I think my problem is that after I enter valid data, the code returns to the function at the End With statement following .Show. For some reason this scrambles the data and I just can't figure out a way around it. Any help to get me back on track is appreciated. Here is my calling macro: Option Explicit Public oPassedData As String Public frmObject As myObject Public myFrm As oFrm1 Sub PassData1() Set myFrm = New oFrm1 'Pass Caption to UserForm.Frame1 myFrm.Frame1.Caption = InputBox("Enter Label1 Caption: ", _ "Pass Caption", "Enter a shoe size e.g., 10E") myFrm.Show MsgBox "Formatted date returned from the UserForm: " _ & myFrm.TextBox1.Text, , "Data Returned" Set myFrm = Nothing End Sub Here is the UserForm Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Me.hide 'Dismiss the form and return processing to the caller 'Call a Function to validate data TextBox1.Text = ShoeSizeValidator(TextBox1.Text) End Sub Here is the validating Function: Function ShoeSizeValidator(oShoeSize As String) As String If IsNumeric(oShoeSize) Then ShoeSizeValidator = oShoeSize Else With myFrm .Frame1.Caption = "Invalid entry. Please enter a valid size." .TextBox1.Text = oShoeSize With .TextBox1 .SetFocus .SelStart = 0 .SelLength = Len(.Text) End With .Show End With End If End Function -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

I am using word 97 onwards, I have created a small button on a document, the
button has a picture on it so there no space for any text. Is it possible
when the button is hovered over some alternate text is displayed adjacent to
the button? I have seen on some occasions that there is a help text in the
properties window but this is not the case in this instance!

If you are using a Control-Toolbox button, get rid of it. Use a MacroButton
field. Your button is the display text for the field.
A macrobutton field lets you include a tool-tip that will display when the
mouse is over the button for a while (assuming that display of tool tips is
enabled by the user).
