    - Identify Capital Paragraphs with VBA for word. Hi, How can I identify a paragraph that has all word in captial letters in Microsoft Word. For example: ROAD SAFETY SHOW We had a road safety show and we were walking along the road. Suddenly we started to dance and we got to know that a new ice cream shop has opened up. In the example above, I want to be able to identify "ROAD SAFETY SHOW" and then have the text formatted as shown below. #TITLE#ROAD SAFETY SHOW#/TITLE# We had a road safety show and we were walking along the road. Suddenly we started to dance and we got to know that a new ice cream shop has opened up. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks, Yash Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80792

    - Speed in opening word documents and executing the word application I work in an office with 25 users which were all "refreshed" with new computers and upgraded to Windows XP Professional. All the applications open immediatly with the exception of "Word". It takes around 20 seconds to execute the application and about 45 seconds to open documents no matter how small the size. This is frustrating as the previous version "Windows 2000" was much faster. Most docs opened immediatly. Excell, Access, PowerPoint, in XP, all execute upon a click of the icon so why is Word different. I have called our helpdesk for assistance and believe they cannot figure this out or my request has been buried. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening??

    - Delete all shading Alright, now... i only ask questions when i really need help... so here goes. I have documents that have all this highlighting to help notify people of issues that may or may not be problematic, so i have this- Sub RemoveHighlights() Dim rngSearch As Word.Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set rngSearch = ActiveDocument.Range rngSearch.Find.ClearFormatting rngSearch.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With rngSearch.Find .Format = True .highLight = True .Replacement.highLight = False .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Well, i get a document, and it turns out a programmer has added shading, not highlighting. I've tried all kinds of things to delete shading using a range, and i can't figure it out. I searched through past threads and didn't find anything also. If anyone could help it'd be much appreciated. Thanks guys. Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80789

    - Disable AutoOpen macro after saving document Hi, I have a macro (below) that puts document information in the header and footers of a document from an external application which works fine until the user saves the document then opens another document from the same program when they subsequently reopen the first documnet it now has the second documents details in it which is what I want to stop!

    - About Sequentially numbered documents? Hi I didn't know anything about macros and VBA for nowadays but I want to make my documents numbered sequentially and I looked at some related sites ( such as http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberDocs.htm ). Also I read 70 pages about my subject at this site :) I changed the code as the following for me: Sub AutoNew() Order = System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\Counter.Txt", _ "MacroSettings", "Order") If Order = "" Then Order = 1 Else Order = Order + 1 End If System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\Counter.txt", "MacroSettings", _ "Order") = Order ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Order").Range.InsertBefore Format(Order, "00#") ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\server\DocumentName Ref-06-" & Format(Order, "00#") End Sub As you can see In my document I have a Ref-06-XXX part and everytime I opened the template document it adds one to Ref like â??Ref-06-001â??, â??Ref-06-002â??, â??Ref-06-003â??... and also it creates the document at â??\\server\â?? like â??DocumentName Ref-06-001â??, â??DocumentName Ref-06-002â??, â??DocumentName Ref-06-003â??... But the problem is it saves the document after it opens the new numbered document so if i made a mistake to open a new document i should delete the last document that was created and also change the order number in the â??Counter.txtâ?? to -1. I hope I had explained my problem well :) So I think about the problem and have some answers like; * Macro shouldn't save the document at the beginning (after the creation of the new document). It would save the document after I made changes on the document and I think that the document have that Ref number on it. So it should save the document after I made my changes on document (before closing the document). As I said at the beginning I donâ??t know VBA codes so I need help from you. I know that this is too easy for experts. Thanks for your help this very moment :) Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80764

    - Quick & clean way to select all following chars until colorchange? Hi, I'm trying to select all characters which have the same color as a certain character without any gaps example: bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb<cursor is here>ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggbbbbbbbggggggggggg From the position of the cursor I would like to select all the green (g) charcters untill a blue (b) appears, so I don't want the second range of g's for now. at the moment I solve this by looping over the content and check the color of each char. On a colorchange I'll select the chars of the old color. This is pretty slow though and it seems primitive. There has to be a better way....

    - mass conversion to PDF To convert multiple office files to multiple pdf files one has to 1. Set PDF as a default printer 2. Disable all PDF prompts for confirming file names, etc. This can be done under Acrobat settings or under PDF printer properties 3. Create a new folder named *my Documents* in ...Adobe/Acrobat/Distllr folder 4. Select files to be converted, e.g. in Windows Explorer, right click and click Print. Many thanks to Jezebel for helping with sorting this thing out. You saved me hours of boring work. The newly created PDF files are placed in the above mentioned my Document folder retaining their original name. Strangely, this folder is not created at the Acrobat installation, but without it, conversion to PDF via print command returns an error. -- JanAdam Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80733

    - Stuffing text from Word into a VT100 terminal emulator Here's a challenge for you. I need to get some complex text into a legacy database running in a VT100 terminal emulator (please don't laugh). So I am generating the text in Word 97 using dropdown form fields, with VBA running in the background to conditionally alter other fields. Once done, I have a button that copies the text to the clipboard. The user switches to the VT100 terminal emulator and pastes the text in. There are two remaining things that I would like to do. 1) Preserve the bold and underline from the Word text. In the database, bold is switched on and off with key strokes <crtl-6><b> and underline with <ctrl-6><u>. 2) Also put data into other fields in the database. I could due this with a macro in the terminal emulator but I want the data vary depending on the contents of the Word file. So when I switch to the database, I am thinking that I need to be able to stuff the keyboard with a sequence of keystrokes. I realise that the solution may depend on the specifics of the VT100 terminal emulator that I am using. The terminal emulator runs macros which are held in files. One possibility is to have VBA write the macro to a file, switch to the terminal emulator and then run the macro that Word has just produced. -- Paul Bishop Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80714

    - Creating a visible field with a hidden component? I need to create a field that will be inserted via VBA code. This will be made up of nested fields. The outer field will use a Quote field with a visible text element that will show in the document. Along with this is a nested field which contains tags that I will parse for with another macro. The issue is I need to make the second nested field not visible and also easily parsable in code. I'm thinking of storing a delimited string in this field to contain the various elements need later. The only way I can think to do this is using the SEQ field with the \h. Is this the only/best approach? Here is what I want or similar: { QUOTE (CAUKEO) { SEQ AA-BB-CCCC \h } } So later on I want to parse out the SEQ field associated with the QUOTE and based on what it contains (i.e. does it include AA then..) do something in the macro.

When I try to set the protectionforforms, I get an error "Command not available because document is password-protected". I ran the below macros in the order from top to bottom for demo purposes and got the error. I have a work around (before I set the protectionforforms, I protect the document with Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, unprotect it, set the protectionforforms, then reprotect.) It sounds kind of silly, so I'm asking if there's a better way. Public Sub Lock_Styles_Only() ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdNoProtection, _ noreset:=False, Password:="pass", enforcestylelock:=True End Sub Public Sub Remove_Protection() ActiveDocument.unprotect ("pass") End Sub Public Sub Protect_Doc_and_Lock_Styles() Dim sec As Section For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections sec.ProtectedForForms = True 'error occurs here Next sec ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _ noreset:=False, Password:="lawp", enforcestylelock:=True End Sub Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80665

    - Code in Excel macro to get all open Word docs? What would I use in Excel 2000 VBA to get all the currently open Word docs? Or, even better, break out of the code to allow the user to choose his doc and select a specific position in the doc? I have a Word macro that takes a selection copied from Excel and pastes it into my Word report with certain formatting. Some of my coworkers could make use of this macro as well, but it would be easier to put the macro in an Excel workbook I already distribute with macros than to get them to add it into Word. To make it work , though, they would have to be able to get it into the right Word doc from Excel - much different than having the doc open and pulling it off the clipboard. Any help is appreciated.

    - multiple .doc files conversion to multiple pdf I need to create many PDF files from many Word and Power Point documents. I have Acrobat 6.0, Office 2003 pro installed under W2K pro (can have Adobe CS with the newest Acrobat). In Acrobat 6, there is an option of converting many files into a single PDF. But I need to convert them one to one. I thus think I have to do it via vba code, but run into problems. Following hints from this group I can loop through all the files I need to convert via: For Each filFile In fdrFolder.Files strFileName = fso.GetFileName(filFile) â??code to convert strFileName to PDF Next filFile I am not sure what should be the command to do the conversion. When recorded a macro to see how it is done, I see that it does not use the file name at all, but this is a single file conversion from an active word document. Also, the Acrobat is asking for accepting to save the new file as whatever, which I would like to automate as well. I have over two hundred files to convert. I would like to do it like filename1.doc -> filename1.pdf and so on. If the PDF files could go to a different folder than the source folder it would be nice, but this is can easily be done manually or via a macro that I think I can write. Your help will again be much appreciated. -- JanAdam Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80644

    - send document on screen via email Does any one know how to send the document on the screen via email? I don't want to send it as an attachment - I want to send it as text inside the email itself, but I need to maintain font changes (colors, etc.) I have been using Redemption to send emails, but I am limited to attachments or text only emails without formatting. I thought I'd try directly from Word itself. Thank you! Tag: Launch VBA form from toolbay buttom Tag: 80632

    - Attached Template reference removed on close File Server - Windows 2000 Terminal Desktops - Windows XP Software - Office XP In our environment we have precedents stored on the network and templates stored on user's PC. Recently all precedents with a particular template attached have lost the template after the generated precedent is closed (no difference if precedent saved to network or locally). Example - User runs "Letter to Joe.doc". Attached template = "Letter.dot" Users saves letter as 8FebLtr.doc. Attached template = "Letter.dot" User closes doc and later re-opens. Attached template = "Letter to Joe.doc" The template has customised toolbars, etc that are needed. If anyone can help me discover why this is happening I would be very grateful.

    - how to disable command buttons like word does? I have noticed that if I open 2 word documents so that I can see them both at the same time and select some text in just one of them, that the COPY commandbutton is enabled on the document with the selection, but not on the one without. I want to replicate this, but when I try with a custom commandbutton, the buttons on both documents are either enabled or disabled. how can i get the same behaviour as words built in buttons? how can I get it to display both states?

    - drop down form fields I have a form which contains a number of entries as drop down form fields (to allow users to select from a drop down list) and simple text fields. Data from the Word document then needs to be extracted and loaded into an Excel spreadsheet. I am using Word bookmarks to pass data into a VBA variable and into a function which calls an instance of Excel, opens the appropriate workbook and worksheet and fills out the relevant columns and rows - that bit is not a problem. However, whilst the data from the text form field is passing across quite happily and is available to Excel, the data from the drop down form field arrives as a blank (probably an unprintable) and not the selected item from the dropdown. How can I get the selected item from the list into a variable in order to pass it properly into Excel? There is probably a really simple solution, but it escapes me. Incidentally, I would prefer to keep the drop down box - the contents change and this is a really simple way for a naive user to maintain the lists within the template form.

I've been trying with variations on this: (other detail omitted) Application.CustomizationContext = ThisDocument Set myCommandBarButton = ActiveDocument.CommandBars.FindControl_(Type:=msoControlButton, tag:=tag) If Not myCommandBarButton Is Nothing Then myCommandBarButton.Delete Set myCommandBarButton = ActiveDocument.CommandBars("mycommandbar") _.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) this appeared to work for a while but I suspect it was just word being flakey.

No. The form would have to be in a template or add-in, and called from a
macro. The OnAction property of a button specifies which macro is run.
