    - Opening a Mailmerge Word Document from Excel using VBA Any explanation an assitance would be greatly appreciated. I have an excel [2000] file that I use to generate a mail merge data set for word. Using VBA, I create a excel file with one [1] sheet, then open word, and an existing mail merge document with all the fields. I then relink the merge document to the new data file and merge. This all works but takes approx. 1 minute to the file, and another minute to relink the new data file. If I open the document through word manually, it only takes about 3-5 seconds to open the word document, similar to relink. Can someone first explain the time lag, and/or how to fix it? Thanks Simon [Note: Also posted in Mail Merge group] Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72836

    - Option Buttons - Word 2003 I have a form with groups of option buttons for selection. Is there a way to make the value of the option button "true" as the user tabs up or down through the selections, i.e., the option is selected at the location the user has tabbed to and moves with the tab action? I am trying to come up with a way to select the option without using a mouse on the form. Right now I have accelerator keys assigned but these become problematic with the quantity of selections on the form. I couldn't seem to locate anything in the properties window of the form that sounded like it would fit the bill. Thanks! -- singeredel (Julie) Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72833

    - Selection.Tables.Add -- moving the selection I'm using office automation in Word. I have a selection and have used Selection.Tables.Add to add a table into word. How do I move the selection to the end of the table (i.e. next line?) If I were to do Selection.TypeText("blah") the text is inserted in the first cell of the table, which is NOT what I want. I've tried methods like Selection.Move and MoveEnd... but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm using it wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Ray Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72820

    - InlineShapes I'm writing an application that make some operations with some objects stored as inlineshapes in a word document, but when I insert an Autoshape in Word XP, and an activeX object (CalendarControl) as an inline object, then InlineShapes.Count returns 1 (I guess because of the calendar control), but when I try to get the item with InlineShapes.Item(1), it throws an exception, saying that the item is out of range. I must get the CalendarControl with InlineShapes.Item(2), despite that the count property returned that there are only 1 element (count returned 1). When I check Shapes.Count it returns 1 as well. (I guess because of the autoshape) I must get the AutoShape with Shapes.Item(1); So it seems that there are 2 collections (InlineShapes and Shapes) that share the indexes. Is this a bug? How could I now which index is a InlineShape and which one is a Shape? in order to not to get the exception when I use the .Item(index) member? Thanks. Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72815

    - Class does not support Automation or does not support expected int Hi, G'd morning. In Office 2003, I created a Word template which has a word document, VBA code, and couple of FORMs. And, I'm getting very strange error when I change the template. I added a new textbox, an activeX obj, to the word document, but it seemed that the old document, created without the new textbox, didn't like the new textbox somehow, I think. I got the following error: Run-time error '430': Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface. the code: ActiveDocument.txtCompanyName.text = "My Company" txtCompanyName is the name of the textbox created before. If I delete the newly created obj from the template, all the old documents work fine with the code. I don't know if there is any change in Office 2003 on how to reference ActiveX obj. Or, I should register the objs before I reference to them in VBA code. Is anyone has come across this type of problem? Thank you very much. Will. -- Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72813

    - Speed of macros reduced to a snail pace Hi I recently asked a question about two docs that use the same .dot as reference to execute macros and install a toolbar. One of the docs works very well while the other one (much longer table) has become unusable due to the speed of execution Today, I inserted a second table in the slow doc and the macros executed right away. So I have concluded that it is the length of the main table in the problematic doc that is causing the problem and nothing else. I have copied below one of the macros the speed of which seems to be affected by the length of the table. Can anyone help me to get around this problem as I can't wait one minute each time for a macro to execute. I selcet the word with the cursor before running the macro. Thanks in advance Dave Neve Sub FallingLong() Dim wordrange As Range, lrange As Range, i As Long, j As Long Set wordrange = Selection.Range j = 2 For i = 1 To wordrange.Characters.Count Set lrange = wordrange.Characters(i) If Selection.Characters.Count <= 5 Then lrange.Font.Size = 18 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 2 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue Else lrange.Font.Size = 16 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 1 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue End If Next i Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Selection.ExtendMode = False Selection.Font.Reset Call NextWordSelect End Sub Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72795

I want the user to select the original text (example below), execute the macro and convert it to what looks like in the reformatted example. The assumptions is that there will never be more than 30 entries for any level of outline numbering. The text is all plain text as well and all the paragraphs have no styles associated with them. I've tried coding finding and replacing using loops but was getting hung up on keeping the numbering together. Any easy ideas on how to do this? Original Text: 1. First Paragraph. a. Sales Plan. b.

    - Programmatically creating charts with Word and VB.Net Hi to all! I have an issue that has been bugging me for quite some time and I hope that someone might be able to point me into the right direction here. The story is â?? I am writing an application that would allow a user to create a Word output from pre-defined data tables. The output can contain both charts and tables. While generating the output, Word or MSGraph cannot be visible to the user. What I have is something like this [CODE] private sub AddChart(params) Dim oShape As Word.InlineShape Dim oChart As Object oShape = _wordDocument.Bookmarks.Item("\endofdoc").Range.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(ClassType:="MSGraph.Chart.8", FileName:="", LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False) oChart = oShape.OLEFormat.Object If (chartOptions.UpdateDataSheet(oChart) <> True) Then CLogger.Log("Chart has no data present. Check to make sure you are not hidding the entire chart", CLogger.EntryType.Warning) End If CLogger.LogIf("Updating Chart Options") chartOptions.UpdateChart(oChart) oChart.Application.Update() oChart.Application.Quit() AddSection() End sub [/CODE] Here is what happens â?? first time we run this â?? everything is good, second time, Word document becomes visible as well as the MSGraph window appears. It happens when we hit the line with oShape = â?¦â?¦. I am wondering if someone knows the way to hide that Word document and that MSGraph window. Thanks in advance.

    - Auto-create chart objects I have an excel spreadsheet with 600 rows in it. Each row has the name of an item followed by several columns of numbers. I need to create 3 different small charts in a Word document for each row in the spreadsheet. In word, you will see a Item Name, with 3 small, but different charts on the next line, followed by a blank line. I know I can create the charts in Excel using a macro and then copy and paste them into word as pictures. Once that is done, I can tell word to run a macro to format the pictures. But the quality of the text breaks down depending upon how much I stretch the charts. WHAT I WOULD RATHER DO is, either from Excel, tell word to insert Excel chart objects or from Word, get the data from Excel and create the chart objects. Using the first method, I have created a macro in Excel to tell Word to run a macro to put in a line of text with the item name in it, followed by a paragraph break, followed by inserting an Excel object. But where do I put the macro that tells the Excel object how to format itself? I do not want to store the macro in each Excel object as that would bloat the document. I have tried to place the Macro back in the original Excel sheet, but when I tell it to run, it seems to want to run within the original Excel sheet, not within the Excel object in Word. What am I doing wrong? Or am I missing something even simpler that would solve my problem? Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72703

    - Word 2000 Merge with VBA I have a name badge document that I routinely merge with an Access data base on a server. I create name badges for several offices. Each office is generated with a make table and 2 append queries, with a query for the final data. The final data query for each office is used to create the name badges for each office. I recorded the merge process for one query, then copied for each office. The code is: Sub Merge_EventsDataBase_HOU() ' ' MailMerge Macro ' Macro recorded 8/17/2005 by cm9125 ' ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "I:\Access\Registration_Lists_Pinnell\RegistrationLists_Original.mdb", _ ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _ AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _ WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _ Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, Connection:= _ "QUERY Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData", SQLStatement:= _ "SELECT * FROM [Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData]", SQLStatement1:="" With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With End Sub Copied this code and changed the query name for each of the other offices. This code ran fine, but when I tried the other offices got "Run-time error '5922': Word was unable to open the data source." Can someone help me with this?

They are stored in excel sheet using named ranges. Now, I need to gather these data and generate the word docs. What would be the best approach to solve this problem.

    - Problem with Word Code in 2003 I am performing a mail merge in Word through an Access database. As part of the process, I check to see if a Word document is already a mail merge document, and then, if it is, if it has the correct data source. Thus, from within Access, I use: If objWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.State=wdMainAndDataSource Then ... This has worked fine with Access/Word 2000, or if the program is used with Access/Word 2002. However, with Access/Word 2003, the MailMerge.State value returns wdNormalDocument (0) instead of wdMainAndDataSource (2). I double-checked the document, and it clearly is a mail merge main document with a data source. When when read through Access, I get the return value of a normal document. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks, Neil Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72688

I want to set the name of the PDF in code The name of my PDF printer is: "Adobe PDF" I just want to put a button on a word document that prints the current to a PDF storing it in the same location as the original document and with a file name that I set in code. Thankyou in advance for your help. Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72660

    - Word should have a dumb mode Word should have a mode that turns off all the auto-formatting to that you can write a document in free format. I'm thinking of a simple toggle button rather than having to go into a menu and uncheck a bunch of boxes.

    - Display Print Dialog Thankyou in advance. I have the bellow code capturing the print event. But what I would like to do is still display the Print Dialog so the user can change which Printer they wish to print to instead of just the default. Sub FilePrint() ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Job File Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.txtBox = "Client Copy" ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveDocument.Save End Sub The requirement for the document is that it prints out in duplicate and the heading needs to be different on each print out. The above code achieves the printing in duplicate and changing the headings but only to the default printer. I would like to display the Print Dialog so that they can change the printer. Thankyou again. Tag: Macro Paste Special Tag: 72648

    - .Next feature In the following code why does the line MsgBox aWord.Next return just the first letter of the next word rather than the complete word?

    - Programatically adding new autotext entries to a global template I'm in the process of (hopefully) improving the overall use of Word XP in our small office. Being a self-taught newbie to VBA, I've found this newsgroup to be of real value as a source of info and tips. As part of the process, I've created a global template ( called RI_Global.dot) which will hold, amongst other things, all our generic autotext entries, ie - ones we want to be available all the time in any document. What I'm seeking guidance about concerns the way a new user-created autotext entry is "saved" to a template. My understanding is that the default choice is the normal.dot template, whereas I want the entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot. Is it possible to "force" a newly created AutoText entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot, rather than relying on the users to remember to choose this template when they access the Insert/AutoText/AutoText command? Also, can I intercept the "Alt+F3" shortcut to again force the entry to be saved to my global template? I've found the appropriate(?) dialog which might be interceptable [ie: Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)], but I can't see how any of the options can be manipulated through VBA. Using the macro recorder and selecting the global template from the "Look in:" drop-down box doesn't shed any light on the steps involved when I look at the resulting code. Thanks in anticipation.

I would like to create a macro that will do a Special Paste (from the
clipboard) as unformatted text.

The paste is coming from an Excel file and everytime I run the macro it
pastes it as a table and I want it unformatted.

Help !! ... Thanks a bunch
