 - Find Keyword, Copy Table, and Place in New Document (almost workin I am working with the code below to find all files in a directory, with a certain name, open each, find a keyword, and copy/paste (at append) a table that contains this keyword, to a summary document. This almost works, but not quite. I am looking for the text â??Additional Informationâ?? in one or many tables, in each document in a certain folder on out firmâ??s network drive. I can import all docs in the folder, but not just the tables that contain the text â??Additional Informationâ??. What am I doing wrong? I believe the problem occurs between the two lines marked '************ My code is below: Sub Append() Dim i As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False Documents.Add With Application.FileSearch .LookIn = "F:\" .SearchSubFolders = False .FileName = "*Summary*.doc" .Execute For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count If InStr(.FoundFiles(i), "~") = 0 Then '************************************* Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "Additional Information" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute '************************************* Selection.InsertFile FileName:=(.FoundFiles(i)), _ ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak End If Next i End With End Sub Regards, Ryan--- -- RyGuy Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode?

 - Deleting styles with leading spaces in their names I need to programmatically delete styles whose names begin with a space character. I know that it's not possible for a user to create such a thing intentionally -- the style modification/creation dialogue suppresses such leading spaces. But the paragraph/character hybrid style logic that Word 2003 and later uses can lead users to accidentally create styles with names of " Char Char", " Char Char Char", and so on. If you record a macro, delete a " Char Char" style by hand, and then look at what you have recorded, you'll see: ActiveDocument.Styles(" Char Char").Delete But simply running this as a VBA command does not actually work: "The requested member of the collection does not exist". It also does not work to declare a style variable and use For Each logic to try to catch it: Dim myStyle As Style For Each myStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles If (myStyle.NameLocal = " Char Char") Then Debug.Print "", "_Deleting " & myStyle.NameLocal myStyle.Delete End If Next (Interestingly, myStyle.NameLocal does resolve correctly in the debug.print statement.) I've tried escaping the space in the style name, and using a character reference instead of a literal space, but I can't find the magic bullet. Any ideas out there? TIA....

 - Move object with text Having many small screen shots to put into a Word document I prefer to let the objects dictate where the text goes rather that the other way round. I therefore have to un-tick 'Move object with text'. I have tried to record a macro but 'greyed' commands prevent that. Can you help please? Francis Hookham Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode?

 - Detecting the end of a row In a mixed selection that begins in a paragraph and ends in the first row of a table, the range.paragraphs contains the end-of-row marker as a para. If I select that para range, range.information(wdatendofrowmarker) is false. If I collapse the range, it's true. Is there any other way I could detect that the para was the end-of-row marker without collapsing it or creating a working range to collapse and test? In other words, is there any way to test that the end of row marker is selected aside from range.information? Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode? Tag: 106353

I've done the same steps for months, (ie, type the doc, insert the fields, ctrl+a, F9 to update).

 - How to find out if a style has been used in a given Section? Hello, I need to check to find out if a specific style, (e.g., "Heading 1"), is in use in a given section of a document. The catch is, I cannot use the Range.Find method to do this. This code is running during Word's WindowSelectionChange event. And if the user happened to double-click the Format Painter before moving the selection, the Range.Find.Execute cancels out the FormatPainter mode. Also, it is not practical for me to loop all paragraphs in the section to check for the style, because it may be a very large document, and checking each paragraph may cause an hourglass and visible delay when the user moves the cursor around.

 - Enter Values from a ListBox I am almost done (I think) with a project for my supervisor. I am now trying to get values, that show in a ListBox, to enter into a Word document. The document has many MergeField elements in it, some of which include First_Name, Last_Name, Address, City, Zip, Number (which is a unique ID number.) These are located throughout the document and I think MergeFields are the best choice for formatting purposes (as far as I know Bookmarks donâ??t give users much control over formatting). The data comes from an Excel sheet, which has several named ranges to identify data in each column. Doug gave me code to get most of this running (thanks a lot). Now, I am just trying to get the data, that is displayed in the ListBox, into the appropriate MergeFields in the document. Does anyone here have any idea how to do this? Iâ??ve seen a few examples online, but not many, and the ones that I did see donâ??t seem to be helpful at all. As an aside, Doug game me some code before, which was great for another project where I used a Bookmark to reserve a location for a reference that I used for another project. The code is: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim i As Integer, Addressee As String Addressee = "" For i = 1 To ListBox1.ColumnCount ListBox1.BoundColumn = i Addressee = Addressee & ListBox1.Value & vbCr Next i ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Addressee").Range.InsertAfter Addressee UserForm1.Hide End Sub This is pretty much what I want to do with my MergeFields. The code that I need may be very similar to this, but Iâ??m not sure because Iâ??ve never used MergeFields before. I tried the Macro Recorder; it didnâ??t help much. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ryan--- -- RyGuy Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode? Tag: 106338

 - Editing the target or multiple hyperlinks I have a large group of files that will all exist in a single folder. I want to open each document. Go through and change every hyperlink by deleting the first portion of the link. Then save the document, close the document and move on to the next one in the folder. What this is doing is changing the hyperlinks from fully qualified to relative. Let me give this as an example. Every hyperlink in every doc is the same and looks like this. http://servername/applicationname/appname.exe/open/docID# I want them to all go to /applicationname/appname.exe/open/docid# Each Document ID number is unique.

This Table is then joined to TableA for the merge (ie in a View) Requirement: To mail merge the selection list against their staff number into Word 2003 using a selected template (we could end up with several different template layouts). Several staff could be using the system at the same time. I need this to be as automated as possible. Staff using the system should not have to go through the mail merge system currently offered in Word 2003. Ideally they should be able to select a template, click on it, type in their staff number and then the mail merge should be automatic from that point to delivering the result in Word. The mail-merge also needs to deal with a couple of conditional if statements, based on a confidential indicator (values 0 â?? 4), two fields can either be shown or not dependant of the Indicator value.

 - How can I just change the text background colour using VBA? Hi All Developing a VB6 app that writes text and a bit of formatting to a table in a MS Word template doc via VBA. I can change the text colour, bold, italic and underline params fine on my text, but I can't get the background colour of my text to change. Formatting the bg colour for a whole cell in a table is no good to me and I've just found that the paragraph format is also no good, as I need to format the bg colour of text on a line by line basis. For example cell 1 might look like the following: Fred Bloggs < bg colour needs to be blue Bilbo Bloggs <bg colour needs to be untouched, ie white Barry Bloggs <bg colour needs to be red etc Move onto next cell. The code that I am currently using is: oNewDoc.Tables(1).Cell(intRow, intCol).Range.Paragraphs(intLine).Range.ParagraphFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed Which doesn't really work because if cell 1 has 2 names in it then cell 4 with one name has 2 lines of the same colour. I need 1 line of colour that covers just the name. I've noticed that the highlight option might do it, but you appear to be limited to 15 or so colours (with most being too dark). Am I wrong? I'd prefer some form of TextFormat.Shading etc format as it opens the colours up for me, but there doesn't seem to be an option. Note I have to work with Office 2000/2003 users.

 - Deleting Shapes in Document Header Last night I stumbled on what I consider odd behaviour while using VBA to delete shapes in a document header. I had a multi-section document with headers unlinked and first page, odd/even headers. All together there aret 15 shapes in the various headers. It appears to me that the following code should only process and delete shapes that are in the primary header of section 3. What I consider odd is that it processes all shapes in all sections and all header types (i.e., it deletes all 15 shapes) Sub Test() Dim oShp As Shape For Each oShp In ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Headers(3).Shapes oShp.Delete Next End Sub The same thing happens if I change the Section and Headers index to "1." I ran this code: Sub Scratchmacro() MsgBox ActiveDocument.Sections(2).Headers(1).Shapes.Count End Sub I expected a return of 2 which is how many shapes are in fact in Section 2 firstpage header but the result I got was 15!! I scratched up this code which does process only the designated header, but I don't understand what is happenning in the code above. Thanks for any explanation you may provide. Sub Test2() Dim oRng As Word.Range Dim oShp As Shape Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Headers(3).Range For Each oShp In oRng.ShapeRange oShp.Delete Next End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

I've thought of searching for a field code (^d), selecting highlight all items found in the Find and then hitting Ctrl U and underline them all in one sweep however, I don't know how to single out cross reference field codes only - I don't want my TOC field codes to be underlined as well. I had a document with at least 100 cross refererences which I had to manually underline - pain in the neck. 2) I'd like to be able to keep my prefixes of my cross refererences (i.e., Section 1.01) together when they come to the end of a line rather than have Section on one line and 1.01 going to the next. I've been doing a search of Section and a space and replacing these with Section and a hard space and that works, but every time you update the fields the hard space gets wiped out and you have to remember to do the search and replace all over again. 3) I've used the edit field button to select upper case for a cross reference and the designation is visible in the field code, however, it seems to be ignored even when deselecting the preserve formatting box. Don't know what goes on with that???? Overall, rather than doing these patch jobs, just wondering if there is any way to format a cross reference similar to the way one can format a style. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode? Tag: 106227

 - Copying a field made with Crtl + F9 I use Ctrl + F9 to enter a bracketed field into a document template. I want it merely as a location-marker. I will use F11 to jump from one to the next field entered in this manner. That way I can move quickly through a document entering custom information at various points without too much work. Here's my problem: it helps to have the field contain something colorful, so that it draws my eye and I don't miss making a necessary entry. So I've figured out how to use Autotext to creat a highlighted underlined space. So far so good. It would be easiest of all to do a "copy" of the Crtl F9 field once I've set it up to my specs. The problem is that when I try to paste my brackedted field, I get nothing: no field, no colored underline. (In contrast, if I highlight the bracketed field, then drag-and-drop it, it copies perfectly). Am I doing something incorrectly? Is there a solution so that I can copy and paste a bracketed field wtih some text within it (I notice that when I copy whole paragraphs with a bracketed-field built into them, the same thing happens--the field seems to vanish. Thanks for any guidance you can give me. ddc Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode? Tag: 106225

 - Java to Word Interface All, Is it possible to write a Java to Word interface? If so, what additional software is necessary to facilitate this interface? I have been getting conflicting suggestions and figured this forum would definitively tell me what is required. Also, I would prefer not to use Java (yuk!!) but that is a absolute requirement.

 - Mailmerge from ASP? What I am really trying to accomplish is use an existing word doc (mail merge) along with existing access data to produce the existing results for my use (i.e. to display for printing or emailing). The existing components work great except that they require manual processing by me. I would like to be able to let users of my site generate their own form via asp pages that I supply.

 - Mail Merge, Data Source, and UserForm with ControlButton Mail Merge, Data Source, and UserForm with ControlButton In my office, we use Mail Merge to â??importâ?? data from an Excel file. This works fine, using the mail Merge technique, but we are trying to modify the process so that a user is able to run a macro, search through a list of items (viewable through a TextBox embedded in a UserForm), and then click a ControlButton to import all the appropriate information to each MergeField (I think it would be a standard Mail Merge). It is easy to run through the items using the standard Mail Merge toolbar, but we are trying to get this to work through the process described above. It would be so much easier to get certain ID numbers to show in the TextBox, select the ID that is of interest, and import all data that pertains to this ID number directly into each appropriate MergeField. I am trying to modify some code that Doug Robbins gave me over the summer: I have the following in the textbox: ***notice, one of the main problems is that I am no longer using a bookmark named â??Addresseeâ?? instead, I am trying to use about 30 different MergeFields. This seems to be the obvious way to go with this, as they seem to be more intuitive, and give more control over what is imported, at least in terms of formatting, etc. Iâ??ve named the Excel file â??Source Dataâ?? and Iâ??ve named the range of data, and assigned the name â??Listâ?? to that range. My main question is how do I import all of this data, after identifying the appropriate from the TextBox? Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim i As Integer, Addressee As String Addressee = "" For i = 1 To ListBox1.ColumnCount ListBox1.BoundColumn = i Addressee = Addressee & ListBox1.Value & vbCr Next i ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Addressee").Range.InsertAfter Addressee UserForm1.Hide End Sub Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim i As Integer, Addressee As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim NoOfRecords As Long ' Open the database Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\Word\Source Data.xls", False, False, "Excel 8.0") ' Retrieve the recordset Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM `List`") ' Determine the number of retrieved records With rs .MoveLast NoOfRecords = .RecordCount .MoveFirst End With ' Set the number of Columns = number of Fields in recordset ListBox1.ColumnCount = rs.Fields.Count ' Load the ListBox with the retrieved records ListBox1.Column = rs.GetRows(NoOfRecords) 'ListBox1.List = rs.GetRows(NoOfRecords) 'Transposed List ' Cleanup rs.Close db.Close 'AddressBlock = db Set rs = Nothing Set db = Nothing End Sub Sub Macro2() ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\Word\ Source Data.xls", ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly _ :=False, LinkToSource:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:= _ "", PasswordTemplate:="", WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, _ Connection:= _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=C:\Word\Source Data.xls;Mode=Read;Extended Properties=""HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="""";Jet OLEDB:Engin" _ , SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM `Source Data`", SQLStatement1:="", SubType:= _ wdMergeSubTypeAccess ActiveDocument.MailMerge.ViewMailMergeFieldCodes = wdToggle End Sub Sub UserFormInitialize() UserForm1.Show End Sub Regards, Ryan--- Oh, maybe I should mention this, some of the MergeFields are as follows: Â«MERGEFIELD "Proj_Name"Â» Â«MERGEFIELD "Product"Â» Reference Number: Â«MERGEFIELD "ID_Number"Â» ***this ID number is the one of interest.

 - Find a document and clsoe it Hello everybody I am a novice VBA programmer and started what seemed like a simple bit of programming but it has proven to be harder than I thought. Basically I have a form template (TemplateA) which is stored centrally and accessed by many users. I need to replace this with a newer version (TemplateB) donâ??t wish to remove the old version in case there are documents still in use with references back to TemplateA I created an AutoNew Macro in TemplateA which pops up a message box to say you are using an old version and will be redirected to the new template (TemplateB) That works fine except I want to close the document created by the user double clicking on TemplateA . How do I find the document and close it leaving TemplateB open and active. Templates were created in Word 2000 and are used in either Word 2000 or Word 2002.

 - VB6 to Word Bookmarks nightmare! Hi All I could really do with your help as I'm completely stuck. To explain, I have 1 word doc with 1 table, which consists of about 22 cols and 10 rows. Basically I throw pupil names at this table (via VBA) so that the pupils go into the relevant cells. I had this working perfectly without any form of formatting, eg I just did a few array loops to check which cell they needed to go in, concated them up and then 'blobbed' each concated string into the relevant cell. Perfect, but then I moved onto the task that I really wanted, which was to format the text colour, text bg colour, bold, italic and underline styles for each name and this is where I've got major stuck. Because each name can have diff colours and styles and because I don't know how many people will go into each cell, I need to do one at a time pass throughs, so out go my arrays!! The problem is that I can't get my text to style-ise at all and I think it is because of the way my bookmarks are setup. Basically I have an empty bookmark in each cell, got to have this as a lot of the cells might be empty so text markers would look crap, and when I do the old: oNewDoc.Bookmarks(intTableCell).Range.Text = arrPupilData(0, intCurrentRec) & vbCrLf I think this text just gets lobbed onto the end of the bookmark so I can't reference it to format it, because my bookmark doesn't contain any text - is this right? Does anybody know how I can get round this bearing in mind that I need to format each name separately? Thanks Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode? Tag: 106202

For example, the paragraph below: Now is the time for all to aid their country. (Note: This passage has been quoted for years in the United States (US), but it has never been more true than it is today, the (21st century). We should do all we can to make it a reality.) Objective: I would like to extract all data inside of the outer parenthesis to including any data within the subset parens, ie: (US). I use the expression below, but it only gets from (Note:...(US) It does not pick up the rest my expression used is: mySearch = $*$ Any help would be most appreciated. -- Thank you DJ Tag: Help with Range.TextRetrievalMode?

Just come across this oddity... (Word 2002, under Vista HP)

I don't seem to be able to change the values for TextRetrievalMode
(includehiddentext or includefields) when the range it is applied to is a
comment's range (mycomment.range)... Trying different view types on the
TextRetrievalMode object doesn't help either.

And for different comments the TextRetrievalMode settings seem different
(and inconsistent - so I can't compare comments for their "normal" text)

any ideas?

It works for me (2002, Vista Ultimate)

Set CommentRange = ActiveDocument.Comments(1).Range.Duplicate
Debug.Print CommentRange.Text
CommentRange.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeHiddenText = True
Debug.Print CommentRange.Text

produces

This comment hides text
This comment hides some hidden text

(a correct representation of my comment)

Can you post your code?

Enjoy,

I'll get back with some code later - after I have tested something based on
your example: I noticed immediately that you worked with a range duplicate
whereas I was working directly on the comment range. I don't immediately see
why that should make any difference but it's worth checking!

Thanks

OK - update.

Two discoveries:

1. You cannot set TextRetrievalMode with comment.range.TextRetrievalMode...
you have to assign the comment range to a range object and work with that

2. You cannot create e.g. an Index Field directly in a comment - but if you
copy and paste one into a comment, TextRetrievalMode.HiddenText = false gives
the plain text, and TextRetrievalMode.HiddenText = true includes the field
code text regardless of the IncludeFieldCode setting (i.e. Field Code is not
recognised as such and is treated purely as hidden text, which is how it is
formatted)

3. hidden text visibility (UI setting) determines the default state of
.IncludeHiddenText - i.e. if hidden text is visible and you *don't* want it,
you must explicitly turn it off...

That probably accounts for the problems I was having... some text was pasted
into a comment and brought a (hidden) Index Entry field code with it, and I
was working directly on the comment range and not indirectly via a range
object (doesn't need to be a duplicate)

Thanks for prodding me along...
