    - double click to update Fill-in field Hello all, I am looking for a way to update Fill-in fields by doubleclicking on them instead of using the update field command by clicking the right mouse button. I have a document with some Fill-in fields. This document is about 10 pages long and every page contains one or more Fill-in fields. I know I can also use the function UpdateAllFields instead off the right mouse button. But then I have to go through all the Fill-in fields when I only want to change, for example, the 11th Fill-in field in the document. I am just a beginner with VBA-coding so I don't know a lot about putting the above problem in a code. I know it has something to do with the WindowBeforeDoubleClick, but the VBA-help doesn't help me out that much. Can anyone help me with the VBA-code for updating/changing a Fill-in field by doubleclicking on it? I am using word 2002 Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52897

    - Listing Bookmark By Location in Document Word 2000 I have a simple macro that populates an array with bookmark names by reading the contents of the Bookmarks collection. The only problem is that it fills the array with the bookmark names in alphabetical order, and I need them listed in the order in which they appear in the document from top to bottom. Is there a way to sort the Bookmarks collection by location, and then use that sorted list to populate an array? -- Tom MT DOJ Help Desk Making the world a safer place.

    - Build Table with Macro I have used a macro to update an existing table by deleting all the rows after the first, and the reading data from a file and adding new rows. I would now like to create the first row of a table with a macro ( that would allow me to set the number of columns). I recorded a macro when I used the tool bar to create a table, but that only showded the number of row and columns. It didn't show me how to set the width of each column. Where could I find out how to set the individual column widths? Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52886

    - Missing FilePicker Dialog I had been using the FileDialog object in a Word (2002) add-in until a colleague running Word 2000 tried to use it and got an error. I discovered that the FileDialog object is available only in the Office 10.0 library. Since I need to distribute this add-in to people whose version of Office I won't be able to update, I want to do without using the FileDialog object. But I can't seem to find a filepicker type dialog otherwise. Does one exist? Or will I need to create my own filepicker using a userform? I should note that I considered using Word's built-in fileopen dialog as a workaround. But I don't need to open the file that is picked. (The program simply needs to take the fullname of the document that is picked and assign that value to one of the activedocument's variables.) I'd prefer to avoid that workaround if possible.

    - Can 3rd Party Tools or Machine Configuration (i.e. Win XP / Office 2000) Interfere with Overridden Word Commands? Hello, I have overriden code that runs for the "EditPaste" Word command. This works fine on a Win98 / Office 2000, Win XP Pro / Office XP Developer and WINNT / Office 2000 machines all of which do not have 3rd party MS Word-associated addins and / or tools. The routine does not fire on a Win XP / Office 2000 machine that also has FactSet addin tools installed. More specifically, a dummy "EditPaste" routine used for testing does fire provided the clipboard is empty when the user does a Ctrl + V or Edit > Paste. Does anybody know of any 3rd party tools, Service Packs or missing Service Packs that could cause such behavior? Thanks, TC Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52845

    - Working with Tables I have two (probably simple) questions: 1. Why does word append cell values in tables with the strange formatting marks? If I retrieve a cell value by: Debug.Print ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text I get the cell value (e.g., "MyValue") with two extra characters that seem to be a carriage return and a tab line character. I am correcting this by using the following function...but I am thinking maybe there is an easier way (if not, will this function always work?): Debug.Print Left(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text, _ Len(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text) - 2) 2. How do you retrieve tables that are in the header/footer area? These don't show up in the Tables collection under ThisDocument --- it only counts the tables in the body region (maybe this has something to do with sections). I am new to the Word object model.

    - Do While or While & Selection or Range Object? Hi Folks, I've written some code to check the character style in paragraphs and 'do stuff' based of the style found. First question: Is it better to use the 'Do While' clause with this (which I'm thinking it might be). Second Question: Is it better to use range instead of selection, and if so how do I convert this to ranges? I've never used ranges before and don't really know that much about the properties/methods.

    - VBA with Word Viewer (relates to MS Access and Word) Hi all, I'm going to start by talking about MS Access, but this is a Word question and relates to the Word VBA library. The situation is I have a MS Access DB that will be running using the Access runtime environment. The application I'm developing is for a developing country, and therefore I cannot assume users will have Access or Word available. Developing the database is not a problem - there is a runtime version of Access and we have the budget to afford unlimited licenses for distribution. However, one of the outputs of the application needs to be a great variety of printed forms (tax returns, appeal applications, tax refund applications, etc) which all exist in Word format. Getting the DB to pull out data and programmatically write it to word documents is not a challenge - as long as the user has Word 2000 on their system. I'm doing it in a module in Access as below: 'get a load of data from the DB dim wordObj as Object Set wordObj = New Word.Application wordObj.Visible = False wordObj.Documents.Open "whateverTaxFormTheUserChooses.dot" 'programmatically search for placeholders in the tax form and replace with data from the DB wordObj.Visible = True 'then print it, save it etc Not a problem - BUT - can I still do this if my user does not have MS Word installed? I've downloaded the Word Viewer, which is free and great so far as all that needs to be done is to open and print a document, but from what I can tell I won't be able to use it to generate documents on the fly like I'm doing above, so I guess my question is: 1) As long as I've got the appropriate libraries enabled in Access, can I still get at the classes I need to programmatically edit Word documents even if Word is not installed? (And then display them with the word viewer). 2) Do I have any other options? Any advice from you knowledgable folks out there would be muchly appreciated.

    - Numeric (\#) field switches Am setting up a form template which will be used in France. They use the following numeric format for dollars: $x xxx xxx,00.

    - Column Headers in Catalog Merge? Hello All, I am programatically using the Word 2000 Object Model to execute a mail merge via a Visual Basic program. The main document type is set as Catalog and the output produces a single table with invoice payment line items. The table is created successfully after the merge, however I would like to be able to put column headers on the table as well. If I add column headers to the main document and then merge, I end up with the headers being repeated in every other row of the table. For example: Headers First Payment line item Headers (Repeated) Second Payment line item Headers (Repeated) Third Payment line item etc... I was wondering if there was a way to designate that the column headers should only be displayed once (either programatically via the Word object or in the main document itself). If anybody has any information on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Neil Dittmar Software Developer Aurora Information Systems Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52794

    - Word mail merge and files per receiptent I use the Word mail merge functionality to mass produce letters. I have a word template with defined fields and a data source (Excel-file). The mail merge functionality however, merges the data source with the template into one single Word-document containing all letters (multiple receiptents in one file). Is there a way to merge into on document/file per receiptent? Second question: To handle this missing functionality mentioned above, I made a VB snippet to split the big merged document into one file per receiptent. This is how the VB code I wrote performs this: 1. I make a SELECTION in the merged document (with multiple letters), ranging from beginning to end of the letter for ONE person. 2. Copy this content to the clipboard. 3. Open a new blank document. 4. Paste it into the new blank document. 5. Saving to a new file. The problem here however was: How can I specify a SELECTION in a document by page numbers? I had to specify the SELECTION range by number of paragraphs, which is not a precise specification. All help appreciated. -Jørn A. Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52778

    - Weirdness with two docs open based on same template i have a Word VBA template with a lot of code and userforms in it, and everything is working fine. however, i've discovered that, if I create two documents (doc1 and doc2) based on that same template and have both open at once, I get strange behavior. Specifically, whenever i call the .Show method of a userform in doc1, all is fine. But if I call the .Show method of one of my userforms in doc2, then doc1 becomes the ActiveDocument before that userform is displayed. As a result, when the userform inserts text into the document, it always gets inserted into doc1. And doc1 remains the ActiveDocument. I don't understand what I could be doing to change Word's idea of the ActiveDocument, but I must be. Is there something special I need to do in my code to handle having multiple documents open that are referring to code in the same template? any help/pointers appreciated. thanks, garyh Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52769

    - Print dialog: What to print drop down list Somehow, by screwing around with SendKeys, I managed to corrupt my settings so that when I print a document I ALSO get a listing of the document's properties. Note that the Print menu showed that I was printing the Document, not the document properties. Only way I found to get rid of this was to delete the Data key for Word in the registry. I noticed that the drop down list in the Print menu has items that seem to correspond to all the allowed values for wdPrintOutItem, except for wdPrintComments and wdPrintEnvelope. I ASSuMEd that an entry for comments would be included if I added a comment to the document. Well, after adding the comment, there was no entry for comments in the drop down list, however, when I printed the document, comments were displayed, with no obvious (to me) way to disable the display of comments. Do I need to again delete the Data key? Have I stumbled upon a bug/"feature" or am I missing something? -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site.

    - Macro overriding Xerox settings Hello all, I've been developing a macro to print out documents to seperate trays of a printer, based upon the contents of each page. I've come up with a solution that works when tested upon my HP LaserJet 4500. However, the people I have been constructing this macro for require it to be used on a Xerox Docuprint machine. The Xerox machine has its own software which specifies how each job is printed based upon the computer from which it is sent. Does anyone know how it would be possible for my macro to override the Xerox's settings? I've included the macro's code. Sub SortPrintTrays() 'Gets page count Dim intPages As Integer intPages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties (wdPropertyPages) 'Creates placeholder for White characters Dim s As String 'Custom Function, clears any previous search settings Resetsearch 'Creates variable for the entire document Dim oRng As Range Documents("Document1").Activate Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range 'Sorting FOR Loop, finds each White character and prints page accordingly For Sort = 1 To intPages With oRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Color = wdColorBlack .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False oRng.Find.Execute s = oRng.Text ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Page").Select oRng.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd oRng.Select If s = 1 Then Options.DefaultTrayID = 256 ' Tray 1 ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage Else Options.DefaultTrayID = 258 ' Tray 2 ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage End If oRng.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End End With Next Sort End Sub Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52737

    - getting text into a macro Hi, The following macro works fine, but instead of putting a phone number in the function call i would like to use a phone number i generate from our database, this number could be input into the 1st line of the word document automatically,but i dont see how i can then get it into the macro. If any one can point me in the right direction i would be very grateful, or even list some popular Word/vb forums. ************************* Private Sub Document_Open() Result = SendMessage("user", "password", "*INPUT NUMBER HERE*phone number", "subject", "Hello World") End Sub Function SendMessage(strUserName, strPassword, strSmsTo, strSMSFrom, strSmsMsg) Dim xmlhttp, sResponse strUserName = URLEncode(strUserName) strPassword = URLEncode(strPassword) strSmsTo = URLEncode(strSmsTo) strSMSFrom = URLEncode(strSMSFrom) strSmsMsg = URLEncode(strSmsMsg) Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") xmlhttp.Open "POST", "http://www.24x.com/sendsms/sendsms.aspx", False xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" xmlhttp.send "user=" & strUserName & "&password=" & strPassword & "&smsto=" & strSmsTo & "&smsfrom=" & strSMSFrom & "&smsmsg=" & strSmsMsg sResponse = xmlhttp.responseText Set xmlhttp = Nothing SendMessage = sResponse End Function Function URLEncode(strData) Dim I, strTemp, strChar, strOut, intAsc strTemp = Trim(strData) For I = 1 To Len(strTemp) strChar = Mid(strTemp, I, 1) intAsc = Asc(strChar) If (intAsc >= 48 And intAsc <= 57) Or _ (intAsc >= 97 And intAsc <= 122) Or _ (intAsc >= 65 And intAsc <= 90) Then strOut = strOut & strChar Else strOut = strOut & "%" & Hex(intAsc) End If Next URLEncode = strOut End Function Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52707

    - printing problem In Word XP, when printing a page sized table, a (background) image is printed through the text, but this image is not visible in the document, no matter what view is selected. The image (a familiar one, that I added myself to this document long ago) that is printed trhough the text is a vertical stripe Text box) containing text from top to bottom. I have tried copying the entire table to a new document, and printed the table from there, but the image was still printed along with the table. Is there a way to make all elements of a document visible? Do I need to do this with VBA. TIA, ANDy Tag: Macro to edit VBA code Tag: 52701

I perform (by hand) a certain standard 15 step routine on my VBA code to make
the coding that runs in Word2003 workable in Word98. Is there anyway to create
a macro that runs directly on the VBA coding so that the manual steps I take to
edit the code can be automated?

Thanks,

Roy

Hi Roy,
the key is a reference to:
microsoft visual basic for applications extensibility
Not quite simple, though.
>I perform (by hand) a certain standard 15 step routine on my VBA code
Whether automation makes sense depends on how often you have
to perform the same operation.
