    - How do I determine current column and lines left in column? Any ideas how I can determine 1) which column I'm currently in and 2) how many lines are left from the insertion point to the bottom of the column/top of the next column. I'm using VB6 with Word to dynamically (no template) create a three (3) column/ two(2) page legal size layout that will be used for a folding brochure. I'm populating the columns from an ADO recordset. Depending on the data, I may need to insert special messages at the bottom/top of any column. For example I may need to insert a literal string message at the bottom of a column if the text in that column meets certain criteria. Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully this hasn't been too confusing of a post. Tag: Hide input keystrokes Tag: 63679

    - Macro in document availablke only to one user I have written a macro in a document on a shared network drive. When I open any document, I can see and run the macro as the macros are in the Normal.dot. The other two people do NOT see and cannot run the macro. The actual VBA is in the Normal.Dot. The macro (atcually series of macros) rebuilds the "master" document out of a collection of individual documents. Basically it insert a series of files into the "master" document and then creates a hyperlinked TOC. Does everything we want it to do in terms of rebuidling the document. Even wehn I take this Normal.Dot and drop it into their "My Documents" where their original Normal.Dot was kept, they still can't see these macros. I had them both set their Macro Security to low. So that is not an issue. I have exported the two modules to .BAS files. Do I need to import them to their copy of Normal.Dot even though I copied my Normal.Dot into their "My Documents"?

    - Disappearing text when doing a paste Hello all, Having a problem coping data from one document to another. I need to automate the following task. I have a document that my customer opens and clicks a button that does a copy. When the button is clicked, I need the following to happen. The file open dialog box displays so they can pick the file that has data to be copied from The selected file is opened Data from an enclosed bookmark in the newly opened file is copied The data is then pasted to a bookmark location in the intial document I have this working, the problem is when I do the past into the initial document, it deletes all the text in the document and then paste the new text. What am I doing wrong?? I needed to be sure the copied data retains all formatting, like bullet list, etc. My code is listed below. thanks Sub Copy_Description() Dim DescriptionDoc As Document Dim pTarget As Range Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show Set DescriptionDoc = ActiveDocument Set pTarget = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM_TheDescription").Range.FormattedText pTarget.Copy If ThisDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("BM_Description") Then ThisDocument.Bookmarks("BM_Description").Select ThisDocument.Range.Paste End If ActiveDocument.Close End Sub Tag: Hide input keystrokes Tag: 63627

    - Adding TextBox Shapes becomes slow I need to add about 200 TextBox Shapes to a document through Visual Basic using Word 9.0 Library The Code i use is: Set textBox22 = wordDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) Then i add formatting: With textBox22 .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "sdfgsf" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With This all works like a charm... except it works SLOOOOOOOW The first 30 or so controls are added at a reasonable speed (i have a counter and a progressbar to monitor the process) After that it starts to slow down more and more.... On textbox 150 it adds about one textbox per second... Very Slow!!!!! I tried following: Turned off spelling and grammar checking, Word app is not visible while textboxes are added, I even used LockWindowUpdate TOGETHER with ScreenUpdating = False. Didn't help. Still slow.... Here's the code for you to try. Visual Basic 6.0. Add a reference to the Word library before running the code. Add a progressbar to Form1 and name it PB1. The code adds 300 textboxes to a word document and sets margins and font format options. if you comment the formatting (all With..End With) the code runs faster. P.S. I HAVE tried it on different computers, and no they were not 486, but decent p4 machines. And it must be done from outside, thus i can't use the code from within a word macro. [CODE] Dim wA As Word.Application Dim wD As Word.Document Private Sub Command1_Click() PB1.Min = 1 'PROGRESSBAR PB1.Max = 300 Dim ttt As Word.Shape, y As Long y = 10 wA.ScreenUpdating = False For i = 1 To 300 PB1.Value = i y = y + 18 Set tB = wD.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) With tB .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "Sample Text" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With Next wA.ScreenUpdating = True wA.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Set wA = New Word.Application wA.Options.CheckGrammarAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = False wA.Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckHangulEndings = False 'wA.Options.Pagination = False Set wD = wA.Documents.Add wD.Activate wD.ShowSpellingErrors = False wD.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False End Sub Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer) On Error Resume Next wA.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub Tag: Hide input keystrokes Tag: 63623

Can an input box be customized in vba to hide the input keystrokes with dots
or astericks, like a password input box?

No. But you can create a userform that looks just like an input box. Put a
textbox on the form and set its PasswordChar property to asterisk or
whatever you want to have appear.
