    - Text Form Field Values HELP!!!! I'm sure this is something simplistic for your "pro's", but I sure ain't get'n the right syntax figured out on this one. I am creating a protected form for which obviously contains a number of Text Form Fields. I am ATTEMPTING to ask the user - upon entry to a particular field - for the data. Once data is obatained, it should not only fill the current field for which it is being asked, but also be passed on to another text field in the form (so to save them entry time etc.). I have read on the Fill-In and Ask field codes, but I apparently just ain't get'n it. Your expertise is very much appreciated. Thank you! Tag: a Keyword search Macro?! Tag: 106806

    - Word's references I am asking this again in hopes of someone knowing what to do here I have a vs2007 project "MCTClass07" that I created using extensibility add-in for Word 2007. A .dotm is loaded by a third party application that makes reference to MCTClass07 as follows Public MCTai As MCTClass07.Class07 ' The architecture demands that a template provides this entry point. However all other code can be implemented in the .NET code. Public Function MSGatewayInitialize(Odbcstr As String, Libname As String, recordID As Long, docName As String, ByRef rcMsg As String) As Long Set MCTai = Application.COMAddIns.Item("MCTClass07.Connect").Object .... Call MCTai.InitDocument(ActiveDocument, Odbcstr, Libname, recordID) 'get document parts from COM+ .... For all of this to work, I have to load the .dotm file, switch to developer/visual basic (ALT F11), selecte tools/references, locate the MCTClass07.tlb file and add it anc check it. This all works fine as does the .net code The problem occurs (occasionally) as I make changes to the .net code. Sometimes when I initiate the Word process (which loads the .dotm file) I will get a dialog box "could not open macro storage". If I check the tools/reference settings again, I see the MCTClass is checked but labeld as "Missing". I uncheck the reference, close the reference selection dialog, reopen tools/references, locate and check the MCTClass.tlb (still in the list), save the .dotm file and retry my application, everything works fine. This does not happen every time I change the project code. I often transfer the solution and develop on other computers then transfer to solution back to the original development computer. This effort seems to require the dropping of the project and then locate and check it in VBA more often. The registry enrtry for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\MCTClass07.Connect shows the load behavior to be a 3 (which is what it needs to be) So, how does Word come up with the MCTClass07.tlb as "MISSING" and how can I prevent this? Where does Word keep this information about tools\references...? Is it possible to transfer that reference list with selected components to other computers? How can I implant that what should be referenced information to Word. Tag: a Keyword search Macro?! Tag: 106805

    - Capturing a Content Control Range Has anyone figured out a good way to capture a Content Control's Range? I don't mean just the range of its text, but the text and it both. I was working on some code to create a CC bound to CustomXML and then create a BuildingBlock QuickPart of that control. I could never figure out a simple way to define the range for the buidling block. If I simply used .ContentControl(Index).Range the BB was just the text. Here is what I finally put together but hoping one of you has a better way. Basically I wrapped a bookmark around the Content control and then set the BB range to the bookmark range: Sub CreateBoundCC() Dim oCustPart As CustomXMLPart Dim oBMs As Bookmarks Dim oRng As Word.Range Dim oCC As ContentControl Dim oBB As BuildingBlock Dim oTemplate As Template Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks Set oCustPart = ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts.Add oCustPart.Load ("E:\Data Stores\mysample.xml") Set oRng = Selection.Range oRng.End = oRng.End + 1 oBMs.Add "Temp", oRng Set oRng = oBMs("Temp").Range oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart Set oCC = oRng.ContentControls.Add(wdContentControlText) With oCC .Title = "Clien Name" .XMLMapping.SetMapping "/root/A", , oCustPart End With Set oTemplate = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate oBMs("Temp").Range.End = oBMs("Temp").Range.End - 1 Set oRng = oBMs("Temp").Range oBMs("Temp").Delete Set oBB = oTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries.Add("Client Name", wdTypeCustomQuickParts, "My Custom BBs", oRng) Set oCustPart = Nothing Set oBB = Nothing Set oCC = Nothing Set oBMs = Nothing Set oRng = Nothing End Sub Thanks. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

    - SLOW repsonse to recognize network printers Hello, The following code is attached to a letter template for which the paper trays must be tray 2 and 1 on the printer 10st1_HP4350. I put the first line of code in and the NE" & i & ":" to run through all possible numbers following the NE, since I found that each day, the NE number was changing for the printers. This code works, but is slow, and I need to add 16 more printer names to the code. IT IS PAINFULLY SLOW. I need code to change trays for the active printer detected when I run the letter template, REGARDLESS of the number following NE, and it needs to be very fast. Any ideas??? Thanks so much!

    - Clear Formatting behaviour In Word 2003 on WinXP: If I use Clear Formatting on a string of text that has a character style applied to it, the character style is removed from that string. However, the paragraph style for the paragraph as a whole remains. However, if I protect the document with formatting restrictions, then the behaviour of Clear Formatting changes. In that case, if I use Clear Formatting exactly as described above, then the whole paragraph loses its paragraph style, as well as the character string losing its character style. This discrepancy is the same whether I am using the user interface or VBA. Anybody have any idea why, and what I can do about it? This is going to clobber a feature I'm trying to put in play for my user set. TIA-- --larry Tag: a Keyword search Macro?! Tag: 106749

    - Upgrading from Word and Outlook 2003 to Word and Outlook 2007 I have several macros that "grab" addresses from Outlook and put them into my form/letter in Word in 2003. Now that the upgrade has happened all the autotext and the rest of my code works fine EXCEPT the get address part of the code. It returns the value in my variables, however, it simply does not return the value to the textbox fields in my form and of course does not put it into the final letter document. Here is my code. Again, the variables ( rcpFirstName1, rcpLastName1, rcpAddress1) are returned correctly and the frmContacts.txtName1.Value, frmContacts.txtC1.Value and frmContacts.txtSal1.Value are also returned correctly. However, they do not populate the fields on the dialog nor do they get entered into the final letter. Public Sub cmdOC1_Click() DialogReturn = rcpDisplayName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_DISPLAY_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=1) rcpCompanyName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_COMPANY_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpFirstName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_GIVEN_NAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpLastName1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_SURNAME>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) rcpBusFaxNo1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:="<PR_BUSINESS_FAX_NUMBER>", DisplaySelectDialog:=2) If rcpCompanyName1 = "" Then strAddress1 = "<PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>" Else strAddress1 = "<PR_COMPANY_NAME>" & vbCr & "<PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>" End If rcpAddress1 = Application.GetAddress(AddressProperties:=strAddress1, DisplaySelectDialog:=2) 'populate fields in frmContacts If DialogReturn = False Then frmContacts.txtName1.Value = rcpFirstName1 & " " & rcpLastName1 frmContacts.txtC1.Value = rcpAddress1 ' frmContacts.txtSal1.Value = rcpFirstName1 & " " & rcpLastName1 mReturn10 = True Else mReturn10 = False End If End Sub This macro is being used a LOT in quite a few firms so any help would be greatly appreciated! -- CLG Tag: a Keyword search Macro?!

    - Word 2007: Options.ReplaceSelection -> Run-time error 4120 Bad Parameter Hi, In April, jalanford wrote a carefully composed message in microsoft.public.word.vba.general on the subject of run-time errors when trying to set a number of parameters like Options.[SomeParameter] via VBA. The problem occured only on some machines with Word 2007 and Windows XP. We can't reproduce it on our machines, and we have no direct access to machines affected by the problem. But we have the same problem with a small number of our customers and are looking for the best way to make our add-in work on their systems - other then writing a patch for our software, which we will do anyway. If the registry is involved, even a patch will probably require some "manual" action by the customer in certain cases. So far, we succest to run our Word add-in on a newly created user account, which worked in all known cases, but is far from ideal, of course. Unfortunately, the discussion then in the newsgroup stopped before someone provided a solution. The only suggestion was to repair the registry, but there was no follow-up. Could jalanford or someone else please give some advice how you worked around the problem? If so, I would try to compile an answer to the problem for the newsgroup.

    - Automatic update of footer macro I'm posting this for a user who sent me the following query, which I've inserted below as submitted to me: "Hi , Don't know if you know any VBA but I have a problem that I haven't been able to resolve. I don't know any VBA but I can usually cheat by looking something up via google or recording a macro and transferring and altering parts of the code to do what I need it to do. But I haven't been able to figure this one out: I have a footer macro that I set up to include the "last author" and "last modified" items rather than the current date/time and the original author. The problem with my footer is that it doesn't update these items automatically when I save. It will only update if I re-run the macro to insert the footer. (This is the same problem as with using the regular pathname footer in Excel - which doesn't update when you use save as and save a file with the pathname in the footer to a new location.) Sub Footer() ' ' Footer Macro ' Macro recorded 3/26/2007 by atao ' ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "&8Last Modified by " & ActiveWorkbook. _ BuiltinDocumentProperties("last author").Value & " " & ActiveWorkbook. _ BuiltinDocumentProperties("last save time") & Chr(10) & "&Z&F\&A" ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = "&8&P of &N" End Sub So, I am either trying to find a way for those items to auto-update as does current date and time (when you use &[date] &[time] (which I have a feeling can't be done for Builtin Document Properties or have the macro re-run automatically upon saving. I found something called "OnAction" property that may do the trick when save is pressed but I actually don't know any VBA so I thought maybe you would be able to help me?"

    - Can you suggest modifications to speed up this function? What I am trying to do it to go through a list of Word documents and create an array containing two parameters for each TOC entry. The first entry is made up of the filename, a "|" as a delimiter and the TOC entry text (includes all levels up to that point concatenated with a >). The second entry of the array is the page number associated with the TOC entry. This works as it is but it is painfully slow. I added the flag that is set when the TOC Title paragraph is found to be able to stop the processing once all of the TOC # entries had been processed and that has helped some but this is still very slow. Is there a different approach that would speed this up? Thanks.

    - Find String, Copy/Paste Next 255+ Characters to New .doc Does anyone know of a way to search for a certain string, such as â??Additionalâ?? and then copy/paste this into a new document, along with the following 255 characters? Is 255 the limit? I found the code below on this DG: Sub RTM4() Dim oDoc As Document Dim oSrcRg As Range, oDestRg As Range Set oSrcRg = ActiveDocument.Range Set oDoc = Documents.Add Set oDestRg = oDoc.Range oDestRg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd With oSrcRg.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "Additional ?{255}" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True Do While .Execute oDestRg.FormattedText = oSrcRg.FormattedText oDestRg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd oDestRg.InsertParagraph oDestRg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Loop End With Set oDestRg = oDoc.Range oDestRg.ConvertToTable Separator:=wdSeparateByTabs, _ NumColumns:=3, NumRows:=100, _ AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed With oDoc.Tables(1) .Style = "Table Grid" .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True .ApplyStyleLastRow = True .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True .ApplyStyleLastColumn = True End With oDoc.Activate Set oSrcRg = Nothing Set oDestRg = Nothing Set oDoc = Nothing End Sub It works great. Sometimes the string, such as â??Additionalâ?? is in a table, and the code seems to struggle with the tables sometimes. For instance, if I have the word â??Additionalâ?? in one table, I'd like to find 255 characters, or more, up to 500 characters, in an adjacent table, just to the right on this table. Any suggestions?

Sub CalcAge() Dim pStr As String Do Until IsDate(pStr) pStr = InputBox("Enter the birthdate", "Birthdate") If Not IsDate(pStr) Then MsgBox "Please enter a valid date" End If Loop 'More code here.

It works fine, moving from textframe to textframe and asks the user about making changes to the text in the textframe BUT the cursor and or screen doesn't move to the next location, it just stays on page one.

    - Renaming documents from text within the document using existing Ma I've been working with the following Macro to seperate a large document into individual documents. The Macro saves these new documents as "test_1.doc", "test_2.doc," etc. Everytime I run the macro, I have to then go back and rename all the documents manually. The first line of the document always begins with "Name:" and I rename the document simply by copying and pasting the name that follows. Is there a way to have the macro do this for me? Something that tells it to copy line 1 col 7-50 and paste into the FileName? Sub BreakOnSection() ' Used to set criteria for moving through the document by section. Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowseSection 'A mail merge document ends with a section break next page. 'Subtracting one from the section count stop error message.

    - Macro very slow in Word 2003 Back in June, I posted a problem on this newsgroup about as macro that searches for a regular pattern in table cells and defines tab positions if the pattern is found (Thread 'find, format tabs and replace in table cells'). Thanks to Helmut Weber, my initial attempt was greatly improved and worked at an acceptable speed in Word 2000 (from 25 seconds on a 19 page document to .375 seconds!). But now I've got Word 2003 and I'm also working on larger documents (60 pages) and processing time has increased to 6 minutes. I suspect that memory problems are playing up as well since another macro creates garbage if run after this first one, whereas it runs perfectly if I save and quit Word before running it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the performance of this macro? (From my posting on June 27: I've got tables with counts and percentages in many of the table cells in the form "35.3% (47/133)". I want the percentages to align so I wrote a macro to define right-aligning tab positions at 40% and 100% of the cells usable width and then insert a tab character between the percentage sign and the opening parenthesis.) Advance thanks for any help, John Hendrickx Public Sub TabsForPctAndCount() Dim t As Single t = Timer Dim aRange As Range Dim oCell As Cell Dim UseableWidth As Single Set aRange = ActiveDocument.Range System.Cursor = wdCursorWait ' Displays the hourglass Application.ScreenUpdating = False With aRange.find .Text = "([0-9.]{1,8}%)[ ]{1,5}\(" .Replacement.Text = "^t\1^t(" .MatchWildcards = True While .Execute If aRange.Information(wdWithInTable) Then .Execute replace:=wdReplaceOne Set oCell = aRange.Cells(1) UseableWidth = _ oCell.Width - oCell.LeftPadding - oCell.RightPadding oCell.Range.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll oCell.Range.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.add _ Position:=UseableWidth * 0.4, Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight oCell.Range.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.add _ Position:=UseableWidth, Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight aRange.Start = oCell.Range.End + 1 aRange.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End End If Wend End With System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal ' Normal cursor Application.ScreenUpdating = True StatusBar = "Macro TabsForPctAndCount completed."

    - Annoyance: Documents opening in markup mode I think my word is configured to open in markup mode, because no matter if I save a document in normal or print, it always appears in markup mode as well. I don't want it, so I recently added the following code to my documents, to switch off markup mode, when the document is opened. Sub Document_Open() WordBasic.ViewChanges If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView Else ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView End If End Sub Is there a way to switch markup mode off through word options, or is there a way to add the above code to my personal macro workbook, so that all documents open normally?

    - How to create a toggle button for a toolbar command Hi there, First, I have never written a visual basic program or code or however it is called, only recorded macros a few times and looked at the code (?) in the Visual Basic Editor. Therefore, if anyone can help me, I'm afraid I will need the complete code (or whatever) that I can just paste into VBA and - hey presto! I am working with WORD 2003 and found out, thanks to this discussion group, that in order to use "select all instances" of a style I have to click "Keep track of formatting". Well, I do hate "Keep track of formatting" because it generates these stupid styles like "block text bold" etc. But, on the other hand, I sometimes would like to find all instances where a certain style is used in a document. For this purpose, I want to create a toggle button that switches on and off the "Keep track of formatting" function. I have recorded a macro to click "keep track of formatting" and it looks like this: Sub TrackFormatting() ' ' TrackFormatting Macro ' Application.DisplayStatusBar = True Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True Application.ShowStartupDialog = False With ActiveWindow .DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True .DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True .DisplayLeftScrollBar = False .StyleAreaWidth = CentimetersToPoints(0) .DisplayVerticalRuler = True .DisplayRightRuler = False .DisplayScreenTips = True With .View .ShowAnimation = True .Draft = False .WrapToWindow = False .ShowPicturePlaceHolders = False .ShowFieldCodes = False .ShowBookmarks = False .FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected .ShowTabs = False .ShowSpaces = False .ShowParagraphs = False .ShowHyphens = False .ShowHiddenText = False .ShowAll = True .ShowDrawings = True .ShowObjectAnchors = False .ShowTextBoundaries = True .ShowHighlight = True .DisplayPageBoundaries = True .DisplaySmartTags = True End With End With With Options .ReplaceSelection = True .AllowDragAndDrop = True .AutoWordSelection = False .INSKeyForPaste = False .PasteSmartCutPaste = True .AllowAccentedUppercase = False .PictureEditor = "Microsoft Office Word" .TabIndentKey = True .Overtype = False .AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False .CtrlClickHyperlinkToOpen = True .AutoKeyboardSwitching = False .PictureWrapType = wdWrapMergeInline .DisplayPasteOptions = False .PromptUpdateStyle = True .FormatScanning = True .ShowFormatError = False .SmartParaSelection = False .SmartCursoring = True End With ActiveDocument.ClickAndTypeParagraphStyle = "Normal" End Sub Well, there seem to be quite a lot of things in this that probably are not necessary for my purpose. And I can't identify which line refers to my "keep track of formatting" function.... But, more important, I have no idea what to do now. I can assign a button to this macro, but how can I make this button toggle between the two states, so that I can click and unclick "keep track of formatting"? I am totally helpless.

    - Copying hyperlink including nametag Hello all, I haven't posted here in quite a while. The below macro copies the first hyperlink in the document. However, when the hyperlink includes a nametag, the copy does not include the name tag. For example, if the first hyperlink in the document is http://www.mysite.com/xxxx.html#test what the macro puts in the Clipboard is http://www.mysite.com/xxxx.html For whatever reason, the code ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks(1).Address does not include the nametag. Is there any way I can get this macro to copy the nametag if there is one? Thanks. Here's the macro: If ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Dim MyData As DataObject Dim strURL As String strURL = ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks(1).Address Set MyData = New DataObject MyData.SetText strURL MyData.PutInClipboard Tag: a Keyword search Macro?!

I would like to create a macro or some other kind of function that
automatically highlight keywords when I open a document. Is that a capability
within Word, or is there an outside resource anyone knows of that can
accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi Stacy,

as this is a programmers' group,
searching for some words on doc_open,
with the words available from a list somewhere,
and highlight them,
is not a problem.

If that helps...
