    - Problem with Hidden Property of a Range Hi, The following is an excerpt of code that sets a range going from row 2 of a table to the last row and Hides it. It is intended to hide the range only when needed (i.e., when it is not already hidden). '============== Excerpt ================== If NumOfRows > 1 Then Set TypeOfInspCell = ActiveDocument.Range( _ Start:=otable.Rows(2).Range.Start, _ End:=otable.Rows(NumOfRows).Range.End) If TypeOfInspCell.Font.Hidden = True Then Exit Sub Else TypeOfInspCell.Font.Hidden = True End If End If '=========================================== Nevertheless, when debugging, I realized that "TypeOfInspCell.Font.Hidden" is always equal to 9999999, so it always goes through the else (even when the range is already hidden). Let me note that the alternate method of checking whether row 2 of the table is hidden or not, does not work, since it may very well happen that Row 2 is hidden but row 3 is unhidden. I'd have to loop through each row to detect whether they're all hidden. Although this method does give "TypeOfInspCell.Font.Hidden" a defined value, due to the tables massive size of the tables, it takes too long to run. Is there anyway I could make my initial code work?? Or is there any other efficient method to accomplish this? Thank you, Juan Manuel Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115991

    - Determining screen size I've got some macros for positioning and sizing the word window but currently am using hard coded numbers for width, height, left and top parameters. These numbers were obtained empirically for my desktop. When I take documents to my laptop with different screen dimensions, these macros do not produce the intended effect. I am simply asking how I can determine the screen dimensions and how they relate to the word window. It appears I may have to take title bars and word task bar into account. I was wondering if anyone has either figured this all out or better yet has code that does this. Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115990

    - How could I have saved memory? I threw together a macro in Word 2007 yesterday, but it kept interrupting. There was no error, but I'd get the annoying message box that says "Code execution has been interrupted." and the CONTINUE, END, and DEBUG buttons. I've learned this is usually an indication that I'm stretching the capacity of my memory - all I have to do is hit CONTINUE and it runs along just fine - until it interuupts again!! I had tables in a Word doc with reprot numbers in one column, and several more blank columns. The data to fill in those blanks was mostly in an Excel spreadsheet. One blank, though, could only be filled in by finding the report document and grabbing one line of text. So the macro was designed to set an object to the table I had selected and iterate down the report numbers, open the spreadsheet and find the needed values for that report, then open the report, grab the one line of text, and close the report. Lather, rinse, repeat until the end of the table. Can someone see where I could have saved memory overhead and made this run a bit smoother?

I have to go in to my printer set up and change the printer setting back to default printer and it then works again. After running the macros a couple of times when I run the 'a)' macros - one top one bottom they print from the same tray. Can somebody advise please? Thanks.

    - ListGalleries and OrganizerCopy Hello again. This is complicated to put into a few words, but I'll try. VS2005 addin for Word 2007. When Word starts it runs the addin, part of which changes the Default font name and size, and the linespacing, this is applied to the existing "Normal" using the OrganizerCopy. This works well. I also want it to set a custom OulineNumbered List which is created as the addin runs. No problem creating the list, except for 2 things 1. applicationObject.ListGalleries(Word.WdListGalleryType.wdOutlineNumberGallery).ListTemplates("StyleDocument7"), ContinuePreviousList:=False, _ ApplyTo:=Word.WdListApplyTo.wdListApplyToSelection, _ DefaultListBehavior:=wdWord10ListBehavior) I dont know what to declare the "wdWord10ListBehavior" as, or even if it is necessary. and 2. Can the OrganizerCopy cope with copying this list to be the Default on the Normal as below: applicationObject.OrganizerCopy(Source:=applicationObject.ActiveDocument.FullName, _ Destination:=applicationObject.ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.FullName, _ Name:="Normal", Object:=Word.WdOrganizerObject.wdOrganizerObjectStyles) I have taken the "DefaultListBehavior:=wdWord10ListBehavior" out and rebuild/installed it, but it hasn't become Words default OulineNumbered list. Any ideas Many thanks Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115978

    - Copy one single style from another document or template Hi All, I want to copy one single style document A to document B. I've found some article to update all style from the attached template to the activedocument. But I need the logic to copy one single style. Actually, I can copy the text from the source document with that particular style and copy it to the target document. However, I would like not to touch or change the text within the target document. Is that any way that I could do it ? Many Thanks Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115973

    - Restrict Find to specific range in a document I have to search the first cell of the first table in each section of a multi-section document for words in Arial Black. I tried code like this: With doc.Sections(intSection).Range.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Find .Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = True .Font.Name = "Arial Black" Do While .Execute strTag = .Parent.Text ... Loop End With If the cell doesn't contain Arial Black, all is ok. Find doesn't go beyond the cell. But when it does contain a word in Arial Black, the first occurence is correctly passed to the variable, but subsequent Executes in the loop go beyond the cell boundaries. I understand this is because Execute redefines the range to the text found when successfull. I can make the loop work with below changes, basically checking is the found range is still withing the same cell. But that makes the algorithm unacceptably slow. I realize I can optimize the loop by not evaluating all four Information data when the first ones fail, but my solution seems so complicated for a not so far fetched task. Any other ideas? Tx, Eddy. Set rngWordFind = doc.Sections(intSection).Range.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range With rngWordFind.Find .Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = True .Font.Name = "Arial Black" .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False Do While .Execute blnInfoWithinTable = rngWordFind.Information(wdWithInTable) intInfoSection = rngWordFind.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) intInfoCol = rngWordFind.Information(wdStartOfRangeColumnNumber) intInfoRow = rngWordFind.Information(wdStartOfRangeRowNumber) If blnInfoWithinTable = True And intInfoSection = intSection And intInfoRow = 1 And intInfoCol = 2 Then strTag = rngWordFind.Find.Parent.Text Else Exit Do End If Loop End With Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115972

    - One Source Doc --> Many Styles to Apply Word 2003 - SP3 XP Home - SP2 Sorry for the cross post from General. I think it may come to code to force style application, so please read. We have dozens of source docs with coordinated style names matching several templates that have the same names but modified formatting. The idea is to create a new doc from the right template & paste in the source doc to assume the new template styles. Good idea but cannot make it work. The styles are carrying the list type as a prefix e.g.; 5.0 Pro_Header & 1) Pro_Header and my guess is that keeps them from matching up. In the style definitions they both are Pro_Header without mention of number style. I really, really must make this work and soon and will appreciate any help or point to a direction, etc. Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115944

    - Problem with Table of contents and styles Hi, I am developing a macro which does the following: a. Copy multiple documents in a single document. b. Have separate table of contents (TOC) for each document copied. i.e. If I copy 10 documents in a single document, say doc1.doc, doc1.doc will have 10 TOCs for the 10 documents copied. I am able to do the part (a). What I am planning to do for (b) is, 1. Search for the text 'chapter1', 'chapter2' etc in the document doc1.doc(to build the TOC). I am doing this with .Find 2. As soon as I get 'Chapter1', place a bookmark and replace the style with a custom style. Do this till the end of the document. 3. Find the bookmark, go to that location and insert the TOC. The TOC will be built on the custom style. I am stuck at point 2. I am able to find the desired text, but when i try to change the style, it is not changing. Here is the code: Dim WordApp as Word.Application With WordApp.Selection.Find .Forward = True .MatchWholeWord = True .MatchCase = False .Execute FindText:="Ambarish" If .Found = True Then Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Ambarish") End If End With Style "Ambarish" is present in the document which is a paragraph style. I also tried another approach. Instead of finding the text 'Chapter1', I tried to search on the style "Normal + Tahoma, 16 pt, Bold". But, when I printed the available styles and font, I only got "Normal", "Times New Roman", font 10. What can be the reason for this, and how do I find the style? Can anybody help me on this issue? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ambarish Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115941

    - Making Word play a sound G'day! I have a template with a timer in a loop. I'd like Word to play a sound each time the loop increments. I know I can use the Beep function to do this, but that just plays the 'Default Beep' as specified in Windows - which, depending on the settings, can be somewhat... umm... less than pleasant. Of course, I can always change the 'Default Beep' to something a bit more appealing, but I may be distributing this template to others who either don't want to change their 'Default Beep' or don't have even the limited knowledge required to do so. Is there a way to have Word play a specific sound? Or am I stuck with Beep? (And yes, I know that other users might not have the sound file - but I can always distribute it and install it in a known location...) -- Cheers!

    - Word Macro - Remove Drop Down Box Hello, I am trying to determine if this is possible in word. I have a Word form with a drop down box. The drop down box would have two options. Option #1 is keep a sentence that is already in the document and Option #2 is remove that same sentence. (The sentence is only used in some cases) Once selecting the option could I have the drop down box deleted? Let me know if this is possible. Thanks Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115891

    - opening Word document in axwebbrowser C# - Visual Studio 2005 - Word 2003 - Windows XP I have created a custom button and added it to the MS Word Standard Toolbar. On clicking this button, i get a Windows Form that states weather the Current active document is saved or not saved. When i open any Word document in an AxwebBrowser object inside a Windows Form, i find the standard toolbar and see my custom button. It works just fine. But when i run another instance of the Application and open another file in the AxWebBrowser, i find that i am able to use the Custom button only in the second instance of the application. In the Earlier(First instance) i am not able to even click the button. No only that, all the buttons in the toolbar do not seem to function at all(Bold...Italic...Allignment etc) Why is this happening and how can i resolve it. Please help. Thankyou.

    - Reset character while retaining/restoring font style Word documents often contain lots of so-called smart tags which show up in a translation program I use as junk placeholder codes({1}, {2}, {3}, etc.) between, and sometimes even in the middle of, words. One way of getting rid of these codes is to do a Reset character (control + spacebar) on the whole document. Unfortunately, this also removes character formatting (bold, italic, underline, font colour, size, etc.). I tried to expand on some code examples by Helmut Weber to do a reset font while retaining charactering formatting. The macro seems to work quite well (apart from underline which for some reason I had to do at individual character level to avoid spaces between word being underlined when the formatting is restored). I would now like to try and improve it so as to retain (restore) any text formatted using character styles as well as direct formatting and would be very grateful for any tips or examples. Hereâ??s the code: Sub ResetDupFont4() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim rPrg As Paragraph ' a paragraph Dim rSnt As Range ' a sentence Dim rWrd As Range ' a word Dim rChr As Range ' a character Dim dupFont As Font ' font duplicate in range For Each rPrg In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs If rPrg.Range.Font.Bold <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Italic <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Underline <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.SmallCaps <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.AllCaps <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Outline <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Emboss <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Shadow <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Engrave <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.strikethrough <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.DoubleStrikeThrough <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Superscript <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Subscript <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Hidden <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Color <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Size <> 9999999 _ And rPrg.Range.Font.Name <> "" Then Set dupFont = rPrg.Range.Font.Duplicate rPrg.Range.Font.Reset rPrg.Range.Font = dupFont ElseIf rPrg.Range.Font.Bold = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Italic = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Underline = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.SmallCaps = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.AllCaps = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Outline = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Emboss = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Shadow = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Engrave = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Superscript = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Subscript = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Hidden = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Color = 9999999 _ Or rPrg.Range.Font.Size = 9999999 _ Or Not rPrg.Range.Font.Name <> "" Then For Each rSnt In rPrg.Range.Sentences If rSnt.Font.Bold <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Italic <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Underline <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.SmallCaps <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.AllCaps <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Outline <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Emboss <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Shadow <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Engrave <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.strikethrough <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.DoubleStrikeThrough <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Superscript <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Subscript <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Hidden <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Color <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Size <> 9999999 _ And rSnt.Font.Name <> "" Then Set dupFont = rSnt.Font.Duplicate rSnt.Font.Reset rSnt.Font = dupFont ElseIf rSnt.Font.Bold = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Italic = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Underline = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.SmallCaps = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.AllCaps = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Outline = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Emboss = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Shadow = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Engrave = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Superscript = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Subscript = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Hidden = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Color = 9999999 _ Or rSnt.Font.Size = 9999999 _ Or Not rSnt.Font.Name <> "" Then For Each rWrd In rSnt.Words If rWrd.Font.Bold <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Italic <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Underline = False _ And rWrd.Font.SmallCaps <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.AllCaps <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Outline <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Emboss <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Shadow <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Engrave <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.strikethrough <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.DoubleStrikeThrough <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Superscript <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Subscript <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Hidden <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Color <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Size <> 9999999 _ And rWrd.Font.Name <> "" Then Set dupFont = rWrd.Font.Duplicate rWrd.Font.Reset rWrd.Font = dupFont ElseIf rWrd.Font.Bold = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Italic = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Underline = True Or 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.SmallCaps = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.AllCaps = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Outline = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Emboss = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Shadow = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Engrave = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.strikethrough = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.DoubleStrikeThrough = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Superscript = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Subscript = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Hidden = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Color = 9999999 _ Or rWrd.Font.Size = 9999999 _ Or Not rWrd.Font.Name <> "" Then For Each rChr In rWrd.Characters Set dupFont = rChr.Font.Duplicate rChr.Font.Reset rChr.Font = dupFont Next End If Next End If Next End If Next End Sub I tried to add this code for character styles, but it doesnâ??t seem to work very well: . . .

If the macro hits vertically merged cells I get an error message showing "5991" as error number. But then some formatting has already been applied. So what I would like to get is a code snippet that before the actual table macro is executed... ...first loops through all rows and columns of a selected table, ...detects whether there are vertically merged cells and ... in case there are any, exits the sub before the actual table macro is executed. I hope I have made myself clear. Any help would me much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Andreas Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115871

    - Add Controls Dynamically I want to add a dozen (and perhaps 100) text boxes to a form dynamically. The 'standard' code is: Set oTextBox = Me.Controls.Add _ ("Forms.TextBox.1", "txtLine" & CurrentCount) However, as I add each control, I then need to change its attributes (width, height, font, text alignment) etc. to the configuration I need. With 100 new text boxes, that could take some time, even on a fast computer. (I know I need to change "top" and "left", but I was hoping not to have to change anything else.) I presume that "Forms.TextBox.1" has the 'default attributes' already built in. Can I create a new "Forms.TextBox.1" (maybe a "Forms.TextBox.2") in VBA with my own attributes? -Ed (in Virginia) Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115859

    - Suppress "Hyperlink" char style when generating links? Hi, I have a macro with some code that creates internal links to bookmarks. The words that are being made into links already have character styles applied to them for a certain look. These words are chemicals that contain greek symbols, superscripts, subscripts, as well as normal letters. In order to give them the same look, 4 character styles exist to deal with each case. When my code selects the entire word to create the link, the "Hyperlink" char style is automatically applied obliterating the previously applied styles for greek symbols(Symbol Font), superscripts, and subscripts. Is there any way to prevent this without reapplying the previous styles after the link is generated? I've already tried deleting the Hyperlink style, but it is recreated as soon as a new link is generated. Tag: Lingering Message Boxes Tag: 115847

Include a couple of DoEvents commands between the two MsgBox commands. This
has the effect of giving Windows a chance to process the message queue and
actually get rid of the message box from the screen
