    - Count files in diectory Hello, Kind of new to VBA in Word, but I have an opportunity to use it. I want to know if it is possible to count the number of files in a directory. My ultimate goal is to save a file as <filenametext??> where the "??" is the filenumber count + 1. If that is too hard I can just add a msgbox with the next file name and have the user save the file manually. The need for this macro is to help users save a copy of a protected document in the proper directory with the proper name. My plan is to write a procedure that would fire automatically when the user tries to type onto a protected document. Thanks, Jim Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42470

    - Deleting table based on contents of a bookmark I appreciate the help received from Doug and Jean-Guy in response to my November 11 post concerning deleting tables based on the contents of a particular bookmark in a forty- page Word 2000 form used to collect information from faculty about their activities. The code works perfectly, and is included at the end of this post for reference. Four questions about our project have come up that I am unable to answer, no doubt because this is my first vba project. I have looked through the MVPS Word FAQs, and the subject lines in the vba.beginners and vba.general lists, but haven't found solutions yet, though I may have overlooked a posting that would be helpful. 1. How do I include my vba code as part of a Word 2000 form emailed as an attachment? I tried to email a test version of the form to a colleague and myself so we could test it, but found that no vba code was included along with the attachment when I opened the form and then the VB Editor (from Tools->Macro->VB Editor). I believe I correctly saved the code along with the document (not in Normal) before sending the email with attachment, but there was no sign of any vba code. I emailed myself the code separately, and pasted it into the code window of the VB Editor, and then it works fine. But this is too complicated for the faculty to do. I've read 'Distributing macros to other users' and 'What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out?' but neither really addresses how one sends a Word form as an attachment when the form includes vba. The fact that I haven't found any FAQ references to what must be a common activity, leads me to conclude that I'm missing something really obvious! 2. How do I make a macro button run the vba code associated with my form? The code works fine when I run it from within the VB Editor using the 'Step Into' button where I can observe its operation, and also runs fine from the 'Run' button, but only when the cursor is at the first line of the Sub() in the code window. I'm not clear about how to attach my macro button to the code it is supposed to activate: when I click on the macro button, the cursor simply moves into the first field in my form, if I double click, the cursor moves into the second field in the form, but in either case does not run the Sub code as I would have expected. I do of course have the name of the vba routine in the macrobutton. The macro button is located at the end of section 3 (please see following question). 3. How do I run the 'delete empty tables' code on only sections 2 and 3 of the three-part form? The form is in three sections, with a section break following each of the first two sections with each new section starting on the next page (Insert->Break- >PageBreak->Next Page). We want to run the 'delete empty table' code only on sections two and three, and include the related numeric total (from Cell 1,1 of any remaining tables) at the end of section two or three, rather than the one GrandTotal that is generated now. 4. In the tables that remain after running the 'delete empty tables' code, how do I delete rows that haven't been used and therefore have no text in their text bookmarks, along with completely empty 'spacer rows' (for readability) located between rows containing text? After looking at the results from running the code as it is now, it occurred to us that a cleaner document would result, if within a table that _contains_ text in its first text bookmark (which is always row 3, column 2), it would be possible to delete any rows that follow but that may not contain any text. These rows may be completely empty 'spacer rows' inserted for readability between rows with text bookmarks, or simply another row like row 3 that contains a text bookmark but no text in the bookmark. Tables may contain between 2 and 16 rows having text bookmarks. I think the code to do this would need to: a. Look for the last row in a table that has text in column 2 (not just the existence of a text field, but a text field with a Len of > 5 which seems to be the default length of my text bookmarks for reasons I don't understand at this point) b. Delete rows (if any) in the table that follow this last row. Thank you very much for any assistance you are able to provide with these four questions. Peter The current version of the code provided by Doug with additions by Jean-Guy follows: Sub FSR() Dim myrange As Range, i As Integer, GTotal As Long ActiveDocument.Fields.Update ActiveDocument.Unprotect For i = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count To 1 Step -1 Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Cell(3, 2).Range myrange.End = myrange.End - 1 ' Check row 3 column 2 to see if empty-default empty length is 5 If Len(myrange) = 5 Then Set myrange = myrange.Tables(1).Range myrange.SetRange Start:=myrange.Start, _ End:=myrange.End + 1 myrange.Delete End If Next i ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset ScholTotal = 0 For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables.Count ScholTotal = ScholTotal + ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Cell (1, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Result Next i ActiveDocument.FormFields("ScholTotal").Result = ScholTotal End Sub Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42456

    - Word 2000: Formatting words within a Bookmark Can anyone tell me if this can be done. With VBA code, I want to add some text to a bookmark within my document but as I am adding the text to the bookmark, I'd like to turn on/off Bold, add Underline, add comments, etc... I am able to do this outside of a bookmark with the Selection method, but wanted to know if I can do this with a bookmark. My sample code to format the text of a selection is below, which I would like to be able to do the same thing for a bookmark: With Selection .TypeText Text:="This is my first paragraph" .TypeParagraph .TypeText Text:="This is my 2nd paragraph. Now I will " .Font.Bold = True .TypeText "BOLD some words. " .Font.Bold = False .TypeText Text:="Bold is now turned OFF. Now, add a comment here" .Comments.Add Selection.Range, "This is my comment" .TypeParagraph .TypeText Text:="This is my 3rd paragraph." .EndKey unit:=wdLine End With Is this possible to do with a bookmark? My code to select the bookmark is: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("myBookmark").Select If I try the same thing using my bookmark, as I did in my above example, the text gets put after the bookmark, not within the bookmark. And, if I rerun my code over and over, I get repeating paragraphs, because the bookmark does not get cleared out, since my sample text is actually in the document, not within the bookmark.

    - Insert Cross-Ref to last Caption by VBA? (This was first posted to Word.Tables, where I asked about numbering tables. I thought it might be better suited to this group. Sorry about the double-post.) Thanks to the heroic efforts of Jay Freedman and Suzanne Barnhill, I now have half a handle on Captions and Cross-References. I think it will make things easier - but first I have to implement these in a report already written. I'm using these for table headers, and there's about 50 or so, so I was going to put it all in a few quick macros to avoid a lot of repeated motions. Everything's okay, except for getting the cross-reference to automatically choose the last / highest-numbered caption, which would be the one I just put in. Every time I select Insert Cross-Reference, it gives me a list. With the macro, I don't want to manually select the Caption - it will always (for this effort) be the Caption I just inserted. I couldn't see anything in the Help or VBA Help that would allow me to specify which Caption to Cross-Reference. The VBA code for InsertCrossReference has an argument for "ReferenceItem:=", and Help tells me to use GetCrossReferenceItems, but I can't put it together to get the last CrossReference inserted. Any suggestions? Ed Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42328

Is there any similar way to "run" code when text at that location is entered? (I hope this question is not too unclear.) TIA Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42320

    - Memory error filling a MS Word document from MS Access Hi, I've got a problem with memory using MS Word.. Situation: MS Office 2000 (fully updated) Window w2k professional (fully updated) I have a table on a SQL Server database. In this table I put complete word documents as objects. Now, I have a small vb script that copies the word object and then pastes it in Word. This works nice, but after a number of items, I get a message: Not enough memory, If continuing you cannot undo... You can continue for a number of items, but after that Word crashes.. I found a possible fix in the knowledge base concerning too much edits, but this wasn't it.. I added a save command, but I still got the problem... Did anyone else have this problem??? Or maybe a solution?? Bye, Sander Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42308

    - Macros in IE and locally ? Hey, I have a confusion. I have this word document that I want customers to edit through IE with the word viewer thing and then use a menu item I add to save it back to the server. Problem 1: I got how to add a menu item, but when I try to do it on the opening of the document, it gives me an error when I call the Add() sub when I open it in IE, but when I open it with Word through an FTP. How can I get the menu to be there when the user opens the doc? Problem 2: When I couldn't get the menu to make itself on document load so I tried making a "Make Menu" macro button. I made the button, opened the doc with IE and double clicked it, nothing happened, then I opened the doc (a local copy, not thru ftp) with word, and the menus were there just like the macro ran. Then I opened it again in IE and the menus were there. I re-traced my steps many times and it seems like if I run the menu macro either on my local copy on my C drive in word, or on the remote copy on a web server, changes show up in both places on the next time I open the document. Why does this happen? Any help would be much appreciated, I am stumped. Thanks -Paul Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42304

    - Testing for Duplex I'm trying to use the excellent article at http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=116 to set up a duplex option on a vba controlled print utility. It works very well, but what i'd like to know is if there is a way to test whether the printer supports duplex or not? The demo function works very well Sub PrintDuplexBooklet() Dim iDuplex As Long iDuplex = GetDuplex 'save the current setting SetDuplex 3 'set for vertical binding ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False SetDuplex iDuplex 'restore the original setting End SubI was hoping iDuplex = GetDuplex would return 0 if there was no duplex option, but it doesn't.Can anyone advise?

    - regional settings' list seperator variable Hi, I've run into the following annoying, stupid issue: Using VBA I want to do a search for 2 or more empty paragraphs and replace them by one paragraph. Therefore I use the following code: With tDoc.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "^13{2,}" <----- problem .Replacement.Text = "^p" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With The line ".text = "^13{2,}"" is giving me problems however. Because the comma is a list seperator, as defined in my MS Windows regional settings dialog box (Start, control panel, regional settings, numbers), it works fine on my computer. But a colleague has his list seperator set to ";". Thus, Word pops up saying it is not a valid expression. I want my program to work, regardless of the regional settings. So i tried to find a variable or constant which contains the list seperator character (be it ",", ";" or whatever) and create the .text string accordingly; but I didn't find any. Any (other) solutions, thanks Ward Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42287

    - Finding the section number Hello I am new to VBA, and I am writing a Word-macro I need a way to find the section number the cursor is in. I found the wdActiveEndSectionNumber, but that seems to always return "2" in my macro. And I need the full number. If I am in section 2.3.1 then I need a string with "2.3.1" in it. Is this possible?

    - Template no longer available I have a document with an attached template. When the document is moved to a different computer at home the template is in a different path. The UI (Tools>Templates and AddIns) shows the original template and path. Clicking Organizer gives the error "This document template does not exist" so Word is aware of the original template name. ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate returns Normal.dot. Is there a way of getting the orignal template name? Regards John Yarrall Tag: Locking the section Tag: 42276

Hello,

I wanted to lock certain lines of the word document. To achieve this,
I have defined bookmarks at these locations and inserted section
breaks. It works fine. It allows me to lock the text in the protected
section. However, it doesnot maintain the location of the bookmark..If
I delete certain lines above the section, the section along with the
bookmark shifts up. I wanted to freeze the location of the bookmark
(section). Any ideas?

Thanks
Kamur

Tricky...

Usually, the best way to maintain the layout structure of something like
this is to use a table or a frame (from the Forms toolbar) with EXACT
height and width settings. Then it won't matter how much text it
contains, it can't shrink... or grow.
