    - Delete text in first cell of table in footer My situation has changed a bit since my last post. Issue: I may have several sections in a document that may have a different first page footer and additonal sections that may not. Every footer however will have a table consisting of 3 columns and one row. The first column will always contain Page ? of ? field code, a date and time field and document path and file field plus some text. The second column will have a page number. I want to delete everything ONLY in the first cell in every section in every footer. I think I am complicating the issue with my old code. Here is my new code which is not even selecting in a footer but rather stays in the document text. Here is my simplified code (which certainly does not work!) Dim oSec As Section For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections With oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)'I want this to be all footers not just primary Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End With Next oSec I am using Word 2003.

    - Including graphics in Access to Word merge I have a routine that creates a standard letter to a variety of people. The routine uses a Word template that contains doc properties to receive the content of fields such as â??nameâ??, â??addressâ??, â??Todaydateâ?? etc. At the end of the routine, the fields are unlinked. I would like to insert a signature .jpg file that would vary according to whether I have addressed the recipient by their first name or their title and surname. I have experimented with INSERTPICTURE, but only managed to create an empty graphic box. Is there a work round? Help gratefully received. Tag: Macro Director Won't Display Tag: 80964

    - VB to Insert Thumbnails I'm trying to develop a macro that will insert all images into a Word Table to allow comments to be entered for each image. I plan to resize the images to thumbnail size, and hope to be able to have two columns of photos, with a comment column next to each (4 columns total). I assume this is not too complicated, but am hoping someone can give me a head-start. I just want something that will grab a copy of all JPEG files in a given folder, and insert them one at a time into the table. I'm thinking that I would got right to left, then down, so the first image would go in cell A1 (using Excel nomenclature), the second in cell C1, the third in A2, and so on. I assume there's a collection I could use to cycle through all files with an exention of JPEG, right? Can anyone give me any tips on doing this. If possible, I'd really love to get a shell of a program that I can then tweak. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Todd Tag: Macro Director Won't Display Tag: 80948

    - Need help sizing table columns correctly I need some help getting a macro working exactly the way I want. I've looked in the Help but can't quite figure out what I need to do. I'm creating a series of small tables, that will appear one after the other. Each table will have two rows. The first of the two rows will have 4 columns, the second row will contain only one column. I'd like each table to use all of the available width between the left and right page margins, which are set at 60 points each. I want the first three columns of the first row of each table to have a specific fixed width. I'd like the fourth column of the first row of each table to get whatever space is left over after the first three columns have been written. The second row of each table should get the full available width between the left and right page margins. This is my current sub for creating the table and setting the desired column widths: ================================================================= Sub createTable() 'Create a two row, four column table. Set newTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:= _ 4, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:= _ wdAutoFitFixed) 'Format the table. Set the column widths and merge the cells on the second row into a single cell. With newTable If .style <> "Table Grid" Then .style = "Table Grid" End If .AllowAutoFit = False .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent .PreferredWidth = 100 .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True .ApplyStyleLastRow = False .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False 'Set widths of columns (in inches) .Columns(1).Width = InchesToPoints(1.1) .Columns(2).Width = InchesToPoints(1.2) .Columns(3).Width = InchesToPoints(1.7) .Columns(4).Width = InchesToPoints(3.2) 'Merge the cells on the second row into one cell .Rows(2).Cells.Merge End With 'Make sure table isn't split across pages. Selection.Tables(1).Select With Selection.ParagraphFormat .KeepWithNext = True End With End Sub ================================================================= This _almost_ does what I want but there are two things that I don't like: a. "AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed" in the 'set' statement and ".AllowAutoFit = False" seem to contradict one another; the 'set' seems to be saying that I should use AutoFit while the 'with' seems to turn it off. Should the 'set' be written differently to prevent the columns from ever having had the ability to resize themselves? b. I want the widths of the first 3 columns on the first row of each table to be fixed at the sizes shown. I want the 4th column to automatically get whatever space is left between the 3rd column and the right margin without first having to calculate an actual length in inches. I thought that by leaving the width of the 4th column unspecified, it would get all of the remaining space but, in fact, it gets quite a bit less than the available space, with the result that the table is narrower than it needs to be and the right margin is much bigger than I want in the area where the tables are written. How can I get that behavior? I've looked in the Help but I must be searching on the wrong keywords because I can't find a clear answer to either problem. I was going to do some 'trial and error' with the width of the 4th column. I erased the line after the "=" on the line that sets column 4's width but the other options never appear. I was hoping to see something like "UseRemainingSpace". Shouldn't I be getting a list of options when I do that? If yes, I must have something wrong in my VBE settings; can someone tell me what I need to turn on? If you can help me solve these last two problems, I think my document will be absolutely perfect instead of just 98%. -- Rhino Tag: Macro Director Won't Display Tag: 80943

    - Offer Word with "manual" type mode option without auto format The auto format is very aggravating to me an many people I talk to. We used to use word perfect which was much easier to use , at least in its earlier versions. Most of us (older users) do not have time to spend learning a lot of how to use what should be a simple program that we can just use instead of spending a lot of time learning how to program a typed in document. A full "manua" option should be offered so that we can type in what we want without the program changing or "correting it for me ." Because of limited funds, I often do not have access to a secretary that might know how to format a Word document. I often have to do my own typing of documents and I am ( along with others) extremely frustrated with the Word auto formating and how it changes something back after I try to change it or it won't let me change something on the document. I learned to type in the 1960's and I would like to be able to just type. The program should have a very simple method of programing features such as "auto return" etc. I would be more than happy to discuss this in greater detail. I believe you would have a lot more happy users if this would be offered. As I said, many people I talk to are frustrated with Word. We use it because it seems to have become the standard format for most users. When I have to stop and try to go into help to try to figure out what to do, I waste time that I don't have and often can't easily find what I need. Again I mention the high levels of frustration me and many of my coworders have with Word. We had a hard time getting several staff members in my office to switch from word perfect to word. Anything you can do soon to make this an option would be greatly appreciated. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Need to refine simple code ending in Wend Hello Helmet gave me some code as usual and I have managed to create a second macro from the original to handle characters instead of words (one small step for man, one gaint leap for nevekind) The macro is a follows _____________________________________________ Sub GOL() ' GOL Macro (Go one letter) ' Macro créée le 11/02/2006 par Dave Neve ' Dim l As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True l = 1 With Selection.Cells(1).Range While .Characters(l).Font.Hidden = False l = l + 1 Wend .Characters(l).Font.Hidden = False End With ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub _____________________________________________________________________________________________ The problems comes when I reach the end of the last word but don't necessarily know as I can't remember how many words are in the cell. I click on the macro again and nothing happens, probably cos there is a space character. But the next click is 'fatal'. There is an error that the 'collection object'(not sure of exact term in English) can't be found and worse still, this seems to trigger Word to activate 'show masked text' in the whole table which I then have to untick manually.

    - macro effect on browse control button I have created a macro that runs through the sections of a document and adds a footer to each page. A side effect has been that the "browse" control that is located just below the vertical scroll bar changes from "previous page / next page" to "previous section / next section".

    - Using Nested If expressions in field codes I am trying to find a way to use Nested If expressions within a field code to limit a document property that displays the document name from appearing only on the last page of the last section of a document. The first If expression cehcks the current page number against the n umber of pages within the current section of the document. The second If expression checks the current section number against the number of sections in the document. If both If expressions are true, then the fild is supposed to display the document name, otherwise it should display nothing. I am able to get the result to come out correctly using the code shown below to generate the field code. I had to create a custom document property named SectionsCount in order to get the number of sections in the docuemnt to display within the field: Private Sub BuildIndentifierField() On Error GoTo Err_Handler With Selection ' Begin the First IF expression: .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="IF ", PreserveFormatting:=False .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=5 .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage .TypeText Text:=" = " .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldSectionPages .TypeText Text:=" " ' If the First IF expression is TRUE then use the Second (NESTED) IF expression: .TypeText Text:=Chr(34) .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="IF ", PreserveFormatting:=False .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=5 .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldSection .TypeText Text:=" = " .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="DOCPROPERTY ""SectionsCount"" " .TypeText Text:=" " ' Add the result to display if the Second IF expression is TRUE: .TypeText Text:=Chr(34) .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="DOCPROPERTY ""Identifier1"" " .TypeText Text:=Chr(34) ' Add the result to display if the Second IF expression is FALSE: .TypeText Text:=" " & Chr(34) & Chr(34) .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2 .TypeText Text:=Chr(34) ' Add the result to display if the First IF expression is FALSE: .TypeText Text:=" " & Chr(34) & Chr(34) End With Exit Sub Err_Handler: MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error" ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False application.ScreenUpdating = True I always get a message saying "Error! Missing test condition." within the nested If expression of the field. For example, I get this to display whenever the document is saved: { IF 1 = 6 "Error! Missing test condition." "" } If were to toggle the field code over the error message, I can see that my second If expression is being read correctly by the code, as shown here: { IF 1 = 6 " { IF 1=2 "{ DOCPROPERTY "Identifier1" \* MERGEFORMAT }" "" }" "" }.

    - Transferring macros and toolbars Hello A little question about copying macros and toolbar from one .dot to another .dot I have a "normal.dot" and a "special.dot" with my macros. I needed to create a new .dot which I will call "test.dot". Firstly, when I tried opening "special.dot" and "test.dot" and using the tools>macro>organise option, I could not manage to transfer the macros from "special.dot" to "test.dot" directly. I had to send the macros to "normal .dot" and then to "test.dot" Is this a limitation of Word? Secondly, I finally managed to copy my special toolbar from "special.dot" to "test.dot" also. But the link between the macros and the toolbar seems to have been broken.(the macros can not be found) How can I relink the macros with the toolbar? Both are certainly present in special.dot.

    - Get numbering text when several ListNum on same line Hi, I'm having trouble getting the numbering text of a ListNum field when it is not the first numbering field in a paragraph. I usually use the ListFormat.ListString property, but it doesn't work in this case, as this property (and ListFormat in general) always gets the first list entity in a paragraph. So if I had this in the document: "It happens fbecause: a) reason1, b) reason 2, c) reason 3" the ListFormat.ListString for any range in this line (including the listnum "Result" and "Code" ranges for any listnum field) would be "a)". The same happens if I have a listnum field after a bullet (don't ask me why anyone would this, it's not my document :)), the code character for the bullet is returned (whatever it is). So, how can I get the resulting text of a listnum field, or the listnum field immediately before the current selection (I have no trouble finding the field, just getting the text)?

    - Paper Tray Bin Selection macro I need to get the number assigned to paper trays on laser printers and copiers to add this to a macro for bin selection. I believe there may be a macro to find this out but not sure what this is. Have tried choosing File, Page Setup whilst running a macro and whilst this gives me the bin number on the copiers we use, when I put this code in my current macro, it doesn't select correct bin - just picks from the default tray. On our HP laser printers, when I select File, Page Setup, I just get Upper or Lower Tray in the code.

I've tried Me.SelectionChange but it only captures some of the movements. It doesn't capture when I hit the Enter button, etc... Any ideas? Thanks for your time! -- Brenda Tag: Macro Director Won't Display Tag: 80814

    - Headers, Footers inserting text... Hi, I hope this is the correct forum for this question... Is there some trick to programmatically inserting text in the header and/or footer of a Word document? I'm working with Word 2003, and the documents are XML format. I created a schema and a XML data file and a XSL transform file. I pull the XML file into Word with the schema and XSL attached and everything gets formatted and populated correctly except the header and footer. The header and footer have the XML tags but the data that pops them isn't present. I need to be able to pop those header/footer tags programmatically but, they don't get populated even when I open the files manually. Any ideas? TIA!

    - 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: Macro Director Won't Display 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: Macro Director Won't Display Tag: 80789

I can create macros which are automatically stored in the templates directory
but I can't view this directory from Windows Explorer. Does anyone know why?

The folder C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\Application Data\ is set up
as a hidden folder. If you go into the Options settings of Windows Explorer,
you can get it to display hidden folders.

Macros are not stored as files but rather in the templates, the normal.dot
template by default.
