    - Display status bar message from template in startup folder I have created a template in my Word Startup folder that allows me to remap the numpad decimal point to a comma (courtesy of the thread at http://tinyurl.com/ogwsp). I have also created toolbar buttons to assign and unassign on demand rather than on startup. There is a part of the code in this module to put a message on the status bar to notify the user that the numpad decimal has been remapped. This works when I have the template open, but does not seem to work when I have another document open. Also, I'm assuming i do not need the ThisDocument.Saved = True line in there for it to work, but I threw it in anyway since it was there. I'd like to get rid of it if I can. My code, as taken from the above noted thread, is as follows: Option Explicit Sub AssignNumpadPeriodToComma() CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate KeyBindings.Add KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, _ KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyNumericDecimal), _ Command:="TypeAComma" ThisDocument.Saved = True StatusBar = "Custom key assignment loaded by MyKeys.dot " & _ "in the Word Startup folder." End Sub Sub TypeAComma() Selection.TypeText "," End Sub Sub UnassignNumpadPeriodToComma() FindKey(BuildKeyCode(wdKeyNumericDecimal)).Clear End Sub Thanks.

    - Import data from access into a table Ok i would like to import data from an access database table into a table in a microsoft word file. The table is already created and i would to just insert the data into that table. Here is the tricky part: each record should have a new table. The table created is a template for how all the tables should look. Is there a way to to have it so that a new table is copied from the template and the data is inserted into it. Or will i have to create a table for each record on my own. I was given some sample code to use with it and would like to know if it is correct, and also some tips to go about using it. The source of my code was not sure if the code for the table was correct, and also i would assume that cell(#,#) is (row,column).

    - Word to PDF without print driver Hello! It's great that new Word 2007 will have "Publish to PDF" add-in, which creates PDF files *without using printer driver*. Currently I use FinePrint pdfFactory to convert .doc files to PDF, but it is implemented as "virtual printer" driver. http://www.fineprint.com/ Similar solution is free PDFCreator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFCreator Is there an add-in that enables to save Word files as PDF for older versions of Word (2000/XP/2003), that does not rely on printer driver? BTW, it seems that "Publish to PDF" functionality will be implemented as additional download&install http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms406051.aspx Also I would like to know, since Open XML support ( and ODF support, that will base on Open XML awareness) will be added to older Word version ), http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/converter.mspx http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2006/07/05/657510.aspx [quote] The Open XML formats that are going to be the default in Office 2007 are going to be the most important in my mind. It's the Open XML formats that allow us to build the ODF support (and will open doors to a number of other formats as well). The PDF and XPS functionality would be another example of new formats we're providing this release.

    - Word 2003 - Automating Letter Template I have a letter template, complete with fillin fields for name/address, subject, salutation etc which all works fine. When it comes to completing the body of the letter, I'd prefer NOT to use a fillin field, but to perhaps automatically move the cursor to the correct point once all fillin fields have been completed. Is there another field I could use, perhaps witha bookmark? Any suggestion gratefully accepted. TIA Amanda Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89285

    - Changing font for unicode characters Hi, I had a problem in MS Word that started off from the Equation Editor. Somehow some of my definitions for font styles seemed to be reset and I (apparently) mistakenly thought that I had set Palatino Linotype as the font for _everything_, but actually I discovered that I only get correct rendering if "Symbol" is set to the Symbol font. Otherwise minus sign (or "en dash"), "identical to" and other characters come out 'wrong'. You can play around with this if you're interested, but it's more by way of background to my actual question. I wondered why the "identical to" character (Unicode 2261 [HEX]) wasn't rendering correctly in Equation Editor with "Symbol" is set to the Palatino Linotype font. I decided to investigate the rendering of the font in the body of the document in a variety of fonts ...in fact, _every_ installed font. Therefore I created and ran the following macro: Sub macro2() For Each afont In FontNames Selection.Font.Name = afont Selection.InsertAfter "2261" Selection.ToggleCharacterCode Selection.InsertAfter " " & afont & vbCr Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory Next afont End Sub This should run fine for you provided your security settings are apropriately configured. It is not convenient to reproduce the output, as it spans several pages, but I found that the results were not as expected. For example, for what should have been Palatino Linotype, the "identical to" character was rendered in Arial Unicode MS. As I watched the Selection.Font as the code was stepped through, I noticed that discrepancies arose between Selection.Font.Name Selection.Font.NameAscii Selection.Font.NameBi Selection.Font.NameFarEast and Selection.Font.Name.Other Is this an application 'feature', a known MS bug, an unknown MS bug, or is _my_ code buggy?

    - =?Utf-8?Q?How_to_change_security_settings_?= I have to deploy a template to over 30 computers with some of the computers having different users (Running Windows 2000). The problem is that each user has to change their security setting from High to Medium to run the template.

    - Approval VBA Macro We have documents that need to go through a formal approval process. Without getting into workflow, etc..., I just need a simple macro that will grab the currently logged on userid along with the date/time stamp. I'm a novice vba user and have done some vba stuff in Excel. Actually, I was able to do this in Excel by creating a control box and when the user clicked either Yes or No, their username and the date/time stamp appeared next to the check box. Oh, in Excel I have two checkboxes, one for yes and one for no. If they change their mind and uncheck the box then their username and date/time disappear. I need this same functionality in Word as well as to have these "approval" fields locked after it is accepted or rejected (for auditing purposes). I have found some Word code but it makes no sense to me because unlike Excel there are no cell, sheet, etc... references. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks!

    - Trying to copy formatted text _without_ Style? I get documents with a mish-mash of styles and formatting applied directly to the text. I am wondering if there is some way I could copy all of the text and any direct formatting over into a new doc based on my own template, but not any styles. I tried FormattedText in VBA, but the style came into the new document with the text - so did Edit>>Paste Special>>RTF. I'm beginning to think I would need to crawl through every word of every paragraph, capture any formatting applied in an array, paste the text over as unformatted, then read the paragraph word by word and apply any formatting in the array. Is there an easier way? Ed Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89263

    - Problem with FormattedText Doing a mailmerge from Excel with Word automation. I am altering a document and then doing SaveAs. This runs in a loop and after doing SaveAs I need the original document to do the same again. Rather than closing and reopening this document I prefer to keep the text + formatting in a range variable and putting that back. Only reason for this is that is quicker. This is the simplified code I have: Dim wd As Object 'need to add Word here as there also is a DAO Document! Dim Doc As Word.Document Dim rngAllText As Word.Range Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set Doc = wd.Documents.Open(strLetterDoc) Set rngAllText = Doc.Content.FormattedText.Duplicate 'alter the document here 'do SaveAs here Doc.Content.FormattedText = rngAllText At this line line I get error 5937: Cannot copy content between these 2 ranges.

    - Interacting with oracle DB from VBA without Oracle Client on PC? Hi all, I noticed that their are some solutions for VB.NET to connect to an Oracle Database without having an Oracle client on your PC (for eample Core Lab's OraDirect .Net Dataprovider). Installing and maintainig Oracle clients is considered to be a pain (various Database versions require different clients) and is avoided by using more and more web based applications from Oracle.

Can anyone suggest how I could programmatically (using VBA) add a watermark to every page in every section in a 10 to 20 page word doc? I want to add the word "COPY".

    - Hiding text based on custom document property Good afternoon, all, I am trying to show/hide text based on a custom document property, Audience. When my document opens, a form appears with three options, All, Agency, and Program Office. Here is the code behind the form button's onClick event: Private Sub cmdOpen_Click() Dim st As style If Me.Controls("optAll").Value Then ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "All" ElseIf Me.Controls("optAgency").Value Then ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "Agency" Else ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "ProgramOffice" End If If Me.Controls("optAll").Value Then For Each st In ActiveDocument.Styles If InStr(st.NameLocal, "Agency") > 0 Then st.Font.Color = wdColorBrightGreen st.Font.Hidden = False ElseIf InStr(st.NameLocal, "ProgramOffice") > 0 Then st.Font.Color = wdColorRed st.Font.Hidden = False End If Next Else For Each st In ActiveDocument.Styles st.Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic If InStr(st.NameLocal, "Agency") > 0 Then st.Font.Hidden = Not Me.Controls("optAgency").Value ElseIf InStr(st.NameLocal, "ProgramOffice") > 0 Then st.Font.Hidden = Not Me.Controls("optProgramOffice").Value End If Next st End If ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False frmAudience.hide End Sub So...first I set the custom document property. If the user chooses the option labelled All (which I would do when I am creating this manual) I want to show all styles, with any style containing the word 'Agency' in its name showing as bright green text and any style with ProgramOffice showing as red. If the user choosed the option labelled "Agency" I want only the styles containing 'Agency' to show, and have all styles containing 'ProgramOffice' to be hidden. So, I set the Hidden property of all the styles containing Agency to the opposite of the option control. In other words, if Agency was selected, then Me.Controls("optAgency").Value will be true, and I want the font for the styles containing 'Agency' to have a hidden property of false. The problem is that after running the lines that assign the value to st.Font.hidden, st.Font.hidden equals -1. I found one posting that I didn't really understand, but it seemed to say that this was because the style was a paragraph style. So, can I do what I want? If so, what am I missing? Any ideas, resources, references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kathryn Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89212

    - VBA into already created table(s) in a Header or Footer MS Word - VBA into Header or Footer (and into a table in the same) Is there a way to allow gain access to a header or footer in Word via VBA? I have a one page form full of tables (Page 1) and the narrative begins on Page 2. There is a header and footer on page 2 and subsequent pages (but not on page 1). The header and footer have tables and I need to be able to bookmark the tables somehow and copy certain data from page 1 to this header and footer. As I see it, there are two ways to do it: #1 Use a VBA â??prompt boxâ?? (UserForm) for the data to be captured and force the data into the header for footer as well as certain fields on Page 1. OR #2 Have a macro run on a Text Form Field "EXIT" which automatically COPIES and PASTES data from Page 1 to the header & footer on Page 2 I have tried where â??tblLastFirstMiddleâ?? is the Form Text Field / Bookmark and vLastFirstMiddle is the text box control on VBA UserForm. ActiveDocument.FormFields("tblLastFirstMiddle").Result = vLastFirstMiddle.Value This works fine for Page 1 but I have yet to be able to (1) manually place a bookmark / text form field in an already created header or footer and (2) call that bookmark in the header or footer and (3) Copy and Paste the data into it.

    - RegEx Range.Text object corrupting embedded footnotes I have a macro which processes text using Regular Expressions (to find run-in heads in paragraphs). It seems that regular expressions will only work on the Range.Text object and not Range.FormattedText. I thought I had most of the kinks worked out of this but found a new wrinkle yesterday. It seems that, if the text of a paragraph is altered by a RegEx, then the embedded footnotes in that paragraph are broken. I have a sense that this is because the proper information isn't be passed back to the document by the Range.Text object when a replacement is made (duh). Before I sit down and write a macro that cuts out the embedded footnotes and replaces them with a marker before the RegEx is run and then reverses the replacement after the RegEx is run, I thought I would check with the experts and see if there are any better (and easier) approaches out there. I have tried replacing the RegEx searches with S/R using Word's wildcard search options but can't achieve the desired search complexity with them. I always run into the "expression is to complex" error. As a side question, are the limitations of Word's Wildcard Search listed anywhere. The one major one I've encountered is the limitation to 7 groups instead of the regular 9. There seem to be others but I can't recall them right now. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.

For example: I want to save and name the document "project number-project manager-site name.doc", where each of those variables are the actual data that the user has filled in the form. I have bookmark-named all of the fields on the template. I have also selected the "calculate on exit" checkbox on all of the fields. I see how to set up a calculated field on the form, but it won't work with text fields. I also see how to set up a cross-reference, but that's only to one bookmark at a time. Any ideas? Thanks, Ruth Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89171

    - Find Blank lines between paragraph I am very new in vb. I need to find blank lines between paragraphs and get the particular paragraph. For example: alksdjf alkdjf alkdjf alskdjf aldfj a;dfljkaldfj.da flkd;sa jflkdsa jf;ldkj f;lakjd fkasdj f;ajd fadsf df aldfjakldf. sdlfkj aslkdf jalksd fjlakdj faldsk fald [SDF SDFK SDF]. adklf ajdkl;fj alksdjf alskdjf .adj.fka jdfk.adf.adfa. So, basically i want to get second paragraph since the tag([SDF SDFK SDF]) is in second one so with the index of "[", I am trying to get text after the blank line and before the blank line at the end of the paragraph.. Any idea if somebody can help that would be great. thanks Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89170

    - AutoText Global Template Hi Is there a way that a group of workers can all share the same autotext entries and, importantly, all add entries for the others to use? To be successful, the facility would need to allow any of them to add their own entries for the benefit of the others in the group, just as simply as if they were adding an entry to their own Normal.dot.

    - Putting a custom toolbar just after the standard toolbar In a global add-in (.dot) file I have some code that adds a toolbar. I would like this toolbar to show on the same row as the standard toolbar and just behind it. So, it may have to squeeze between the standard toolbar and the formatting toolbar. Have tried several constructions, but I just can't manage to achieve this. It always ends up on it's own row, above or below the row with the standard toolbar. Is there any way to do this? This is my code, leaving out the code that deals with the button on this toolbar: Sub MakeToolBar() Dim cBar As CommandBar Dim bVisible As Boolean Dim cmdBarButton As CommandBarButton 'remove the old Menu Bar buttons '------------------------------- On Error Resume Next Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Patient Data Entry").Delete Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("&PDE").Delete CustomizationContext = ThisDocument If ToolbarPresent("WordEntries", bVisible) = False Then Set cBar = CommandBars.Add("WordEntries", msoBarTop, False, True) Else Set cBar = CommandBars("WordEntries") End If With cBar .Visible = True .RowIndex = 1 'same level as standard toolbar End With End Sub Function ToolbarPresent(strToolbarName As String, bVisible As Boolean) As Boolean Dim cBar As CommandBar For Each cBar In CommandBars If cBar.Name = strToolbarName Then If cBar.Visible Then bVisible = True End If ToolbarPresent = True Exit Function End If Next End Function RBS Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89158

    - problem in handling more than one button in a COM Addin for Word I have developed a COM addin in visual C++ for Office Word which creates a toolbar whit two buttons on it, but I don't know how to handle more than one button events. The problem is that my addin runs the same code for the click of any of the two buttons. The DISPID dispidMember (first input) of my class's Invoke function is 1 independent of which button has been clicked. Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89153

    - Bug with cross-references in VBA? Hallo, I'd like to insert a cross-reference (reference to: only label and number) to a self defined caption (Insert->reference->caption) using a macro. Normally this wouldn't be a problem: Selection.InsertCaption Label:="Test", TitleAutoText:="InsertCaption1", _ Title:="", Position:=wdCaptionPositionBelow, ExcludeLabel:=0 Selection.InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:="Test", ReferenceKind:= _ wdOnlyLabelAndNumber, ReferenceItem:="1", InsertAsHyperlink:=True, _ IncludePosition:=False, SeparateNumbers:=False, SeparatorString:=" " But I need a caption with the option "Exclude label from caption". Now - if I'm using this type of caption (ExcludeLabel:=1) and insert a cross reference manually, everything is still fine, but if I'm executing the same command as a macro Word 2003 is inserting nothing (don't know about other Word versions) ! I even recorded the successful manual insertion with the recorder (which is creating the same code lines as above). When I'm executing the macro nothing is inserted. Does anybody have any idea? thanks Dom Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89146

    - How do I insert 1 of 35 possible paragraphs into 1 form field? I am trying to create a field where I can pull a dropdown box and choose anywhere from 35 possible entries. When I select the item I need, it will fill the field with 1 paragraph of predefined text for that field, so 35 possible paragraphs of text can be selected. In summary I am a probation officer and I want to automate my violations I write, so I can choose "Positive Drug Test" or "Moving w/o Notifying" and then it will fill the field with the corresponding legal verbage. Is this possible? Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89139

    - Why it is impossible? It is strange, why nobody except Ed was not involved in the problem of FileSearch object in Word 2003 macro. Look on the piece of a macro and imagine that you want to find all the files in the directory "x" which contain at least two keyword, keyword 1 AND keyword 2. I could not to create string "z1" which would do this job, in spite it is possible in the Word 2003 itself (Look File -> FileSearch -> Advanced). With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .FileType = y .SearchSubFolders = True .FileName = "" .MatchTextExactly = True .TextOrProperty = z1 .LookIn = x .Execute TotalFiles = .FoundFiles.Count If TotalFiles = 0 Then MsgBox ("There are no files in the folder!" & _ "Please type another folder to list.") GoTo Folder End If For i = 1 To TotalFiles MN1(i) = .FoundFiles(i) Next i End With I did it with "brute force", creating the arrays of filenames with different keywords (like MN1 in the code) and then taking only members of arrays which present in every array, modelling in this way logical "AND". But I suspect that more elegant solution may be found. That is your opnion? Tag: Macro to convert Word to PDf and store in certain location Tag: 89129

I have a user looking to create a macro that would convert a word 2003
document to adobe 7 PDF document, save that document to a specific folder on
the server. Plus and this is what I am struggling with, they want it done
with out any pop ups for the user to have to answer.

Any ideas.
Thanks ahead of time

To 'print' to a specific location you need to add a 'port' to the Adobe
'printer' driver that addresses the location and set that as the default
port for that driver. The rest of the macro support is provided by Acrobat's
add-in so there's no need to re-invent the wheel.
