    - Automatically display UserForm when Word Document Opens I have a UserForm which has pulls information from a Word document that contains nothing but two tables of information. The UserForm works great, and exits gracefully, but will not automatically display when the end user opens the word document it is built upon. I don't want the tables to be visible to the user, just the form. Code follows: Private Sub ThisDocument_Document_Open() Load UserForm1 UserForm1.Show vbModeless End Sub Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Dim Msg, Style 'set dim for message box when Exit is pressed Msg = "Please wait while program shuts down" ' define message Style = vbYesOk + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2 ' define message response buttons Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style) ' Display message If True Then Unload UserForm1 Application.DisplayAlerts = False Word.Application.Quit End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim MyArray() As String RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count ColCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count ReDim MyArray(RowCount - 1, ColCount - 1) For i = 1 To RowCount For j = 1 To ColCount 'Select each cell in the table Celldata = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(i, j) 'Remove the paragraph and end-of-cell markers 'as we lod the array MyArray(i - 1, j - 1) = Left(Celldata, Len (Celldata) - 2) Next Next ListBox1.ColumnCount = ColCount ListBox1.List() = MyArray Dim MyArrayExternal() As String RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Rows.Count RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Rows.Count ColCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Columns.Count ReDim MyArrayExternal(RowCount - 1, ColCount - 1) For m = 1 To RowCount For n = 1 To ColCount 'Select each cell in the table Celldata = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Cell(m, n) 'Remove the paragraph and end-of-cell markers 'as we load the array MyArrayExternal(m - 1, n - 1) = Left(Celldata, Len(Celldata) - 2) Next Next ListBox2.ColumnCount = ColCount ListBox2.List() = MyArrayExternal End Sub Private Sub ListBox1_Click() For x = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount If ListBox1.Selected(x) = True Then MsgBox ListBox1.List(x) & ListSeparator & " " & " Office Symbol: " & ListSeparator & " " & ListBox1.List(x, 1) & " Project: " & ListBox1.List(x, 2) End If Next x End Sub Private Sub ListBox2_Click() For x = 0 To ListBox2.ListCount If ListBox2.Selected(x) = True Then MsgBox ListBox2.List(x) & ListSeparator & " " & " Office Symbol: " & ListSeparator & " " & ListBox2.List(x, 1) & " Project: " & ListBox2.List(x, 2) End If Next x End Sub Obviously code is rough and not fully documented yet, but will be at end product. How do I automatically Display a UserForm when the Word Document is Opened? Any ideas? Thanks PAM Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42439

    - Problems with this VBA code - please help The code below opens a new Word doc based on a template. It generally works fine but for some PC's delivered by Dell where they pre-installed Office XP Professional (Word 2002) the Find code doesn't work. Anyone any ideas why the Find would not work - the Find works on my test PCs - including a test PC running Windows XP and Office XP Professional. But not on these Dell delivered PC's.

    - Macro for Paragraph Hi All! Is there a way that I can have a macro look for a certain word in a report, but only when it is at the start of a line and not in the middle of a name. For example: I need to delete the word "MED" out of a report. It is on multiple lines, and the number of lines varies per report. The word "MED" can also be found in certain words like MEDical, interMEDiate, or arMED. How do I get the macro to only go to the start of the line (paragraph), grab the information I need to delete, and then move to the start of the next line (not grabing other words)? I have posted what I have below. Thanks in advance and have a great weekend.

    - Copying Doc Content to Email Hi, I have a situation where I need to copy the entire content of a Word document to an email. The document will always contain a bitmap. I've tried using the Content property of the document, but this excludes the bitmap. I've also tried using the clipboard to cut and paste the content, but again, this excludes the bitmap. I've also tried setting the format of the email to RichText and HTML. Still no joy. I don't particularly want to send the doc as an attachment, but unless anyone can shed any light on this I will have to. Thanks for any help Mark Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42416

    - group undo actions Hi, Is there a way to "group" VBA actions, so that when the user performs undo (e.g. by pressing CTRL-Z), all the VBA actions I have grouped are undone at once? I would like something like the following: ---- Suppose there is some VBA command to start an undo group (e.g. application.undo.start), then write some VBA commands, and then close the undo group (e.g. application.undo.end) With my imaginary method, code could look like this: application.undo.start .range.delete .range.insertafter "test" application.undo.end If the user now performs undo, both the delete action and the insertion of text action would be undone at once. In the real world, the user now has to press undo twice. ------ Of course, it doesn't work with my imaginary method, but maybe somebody knows a way to do what i want...? thanks WArd Tag: MERGEFIELD?

    - Subdirectories into a userform I am not very familiar with userforms, but I use a lot of VBA and I'm very thankful for a lot of help from this groups. I have a directory with hundreds of subdirectorys. They are quite difficult to "navigate" between. I want to make a userform where the user can write one or more letters in a field. I want the combo-box tol be filled (is that the same as populated?) with all subdir that starts with that letter(s). From that combobox the user can choose one directory and then the fileopen dialog is opened. I'm sure this is possible. Hope someone can help me in the right direction! Thanks!

    - Please Help! Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to write some string "as HTML" In word using vbscript. For instance, if you copy some formatted html from IE and then do a past in word, it shows up as Formatted HTML with the tags rendered properly. I want to manually build an HTML string and render it to the document so that it displays as rendered HTML and not the "<tag> text <tag>" raw HTML. I am stuck on this for quite some time. I am building the word document programmatically on the client using vbscript and cannot seem to get this last bit working. I've scoured VBA articles(I've mostly ported VBA examples to vbscript for the project so far). Any help GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Chris Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42405

    - Word VBA code with Windows XP and Word 2002 works for my test PC but not customer system I have written a VB6 program which generates a Word letter based on a template and then runs the command below: objWord.Selection.Find.Execute "<Address>", , , , , , , , , strToWord, True where objWord is of type Word.Application This works fine on Office 97, 2000 and on my Word 2002 on XP test PC. It is funny because most of the VBA code works - ie the code to load a Word document based on the correct template works fine. The problem is that the <Address> text is NOT replaced with the contents of the strToWord variable. Anyone any ideas why?

    - Retrieving userform info into a document Hey, I posted this at the vba for beginners list, but I am going to post it here just in case. Plus, I am just putting the basics down. This code retrieves bookmarked information and puts it in the textbox located on a userform: UserForm2.TextBox17.Text = source.Bookmarks ("Chapter3_1").Range This code is in a series of userforms, but the user would like to use this function when not using the userforms. They would like to click a button on a toolbar and insert the same type of information (over 100 bookmarked sections) into any place where there cursor is located, specifically if they forgot to insert some information after they are finished filling out the userforms. I am not sure how to create code that can retrieve the same type of information into wherever there cursor is located. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jason Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42388

    - Macro using a Loop Hi all! I am working on creating a macro to delete information in a report. I have a header section and under that I have client information. I need to delete the first 18 characters of each line for confindentiality reasons. The number of clients varies per report, so there is not a constant number of lines. If I only need to delete one line, I could have the macro find a certain word in the report, go to the start of the line to be deleted, select the characters to be deleted, and delete that section, but I have multiple lines. I want to do a loop, but I am not sure how I should do this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Ann Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42374

    - DocumentProperties and Safe as Webpage Hello NG, i save some informations in Word (2000, XP) as CustomDocumentProperties. I did this for month without any problems, i store strings and xml-strings this way. Now there are some new properties, when I save as Webpage (HTML) Word hangs (2000 and XP). If I delete a property (never mind which)everything works fine. My first idea was that there is a limit of customdocumentproperties (not the 255 char limit for each property). But after some tests - this is not the problem. Do you have any experiences in problems saving a Word-Document as HTML when making extensive use of customdocumentproperties?

    - 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: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42328

    - 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: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42304

    - 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: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42287

I've played like crazy with IE settings, but don't think this will help as it does wotk when I do everything manually, only the macro fails... Has anyone tried this or have a solution? Is this a VB/macro bug? John Norman Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42275

    - Compile Error I seem to be getting a VBA error in Office due to some kind of conflict with my RAV AntiVirus. I can neither Save nor Save As. The only way to save a file is to close the window. The error message I get is ... Microsoft Visual Basic Compile error in hidden module. Main. It also comes up every time I open Word or Access or Excel. I've tried all the suggestions from the knowledge base, including upgrading Adobe Acrobat. HELP! Jim Dodds jemd@wcvt.com Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42272

    - Unable to delete Auto_close macro I'm trying to advise a friend who had several viruses on his Windows 2000 machine. All that's left now is a macro in Word 2000 called Auto_Close. At one point it appeared to be active when saving a document, but now it doesn't appear to be doing anything. Nevertheless, the Delete option is greyed out. How can we get rid of this? We've studied this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;211800 (What to do if you have a Macro Virus), tried starting Word with the Shift key down, and renaming Normal.dot, but that hasn't helped. Nor is there any sign of it in the Organiser. What's going on? -- ###################### ## PH, London ## ###################### Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42267

    - Saving to an FTP site? How could I save to an FTP site in VBA possibly using the SaveAs function (I tried just stuffing an ftp url with a default username and password in as the filename where the path should go but it didn't work). Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42262

    - INCLUDETEXT, updating fields within the included text Here is what I have: 1. document(1) has an INCLUDETEXT that drags in document(2) 2. document(2) has a bookmark 3. the bookmark of document(2) is filled with a number from an Excel spreadsheet. When you directly open document (2), Document_Open event goes out and gets the latest number from the spreadsheet and puts it in the bookmark But here's the problem: The bookmark field is NOT updated when document(2) is "opened" by being dragged into the INCLUDETEXT of document(1). I conclude from this that double-click opening a document is not quite the same as "opening" it with an INCLUDETEXT. Is there a VBA way to "tell" document(2) it is supposed to update itself when it is an INCLUDETEXT? Thank you for any assistance. Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42260

    - Deleting the Last Section I'm trying to provide writers with a macro for deleting the last (portrait) section of a document (in situations where they decide that they want to end the document with a landscape section). My users are not very good with page formatting, so I'm trying to make it as easy as possible. I've started with a recorded macro that goes into the header/footer of the last section, makes them same as previous, reformats the page to landscape layout, and then deletes the final section and the previous section break. The recorded macro is not toggling properly between the header and footer, and is not working too well... I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for reworking the code. Here's what I've got so far. I've manually modified the code in the section marked (*), which is completely incorrect: ======================================================== Sub DeleteLast() ' ' DeleteLast Macro ' Macro recorded 18.11.2003 by scott.adams ' 'Go to last page and set view Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close End If If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or ActiveWindow. _ ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView End If '(*)Reset headers and footers to same as previous With Section.Headers HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = True End With With Section.Footer HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = True 'Return to main document and set last section to landscape ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowseSection Application.Browser.Next With Selection.PageSetup .Orientation = wdOrientLandscape End With 'Delete the last section With ActiveDocument.Sections.Last.Range .Delete End With 'Remove the previous section break Selection.TypeBackspace Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 'Reset browse by object and return to top Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowsePage Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory End Sub ======================================================== Tag: MERGEFIELD?

    - edit existing autotext entries Using Word XP VBA or VB, how can I programmatically edit an existing autotext entry in Normal.dot? i.e we have an entry called Dublin which has our Dublin office details. Our office details have now changed, so we want to change the autotext entry in normal.dot to reflect the new details. The only results I keep on finding all deal with Selection.Range which we won't have in this case. Additionally, is there any way to manipulate/set the range.text value? Much appreciated, Allan Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42255

    - How to copy formfield without onexit macro Is there a way to copy a formfield without copying the onexit macro. Currently when I copy the formfield and paste it somewhere else using VBA it copies the text, which is what I want, but it also copies the onexit macro, which I don't want. Anybody know how to do this? Thx. Tag: MERGEFIELD? Tag: 42254
