    - AutoText and Image question (Report for Database) Let me explain what i'am doing. I'd like to use Microsoft Word as a report generator for my database. (I created a VB6 application that creates and has access to a Microsoft Access database ) One of my fields contains links to photos (full path). I want to print/save every record on a new page. (One photo (with some text) per page in one single document) I created a Ms Word template with bookmarks (within cells) for my fields and has access from my VB application to this document.

First question: If Ms Word is already active, the AutoText fails (Error numer 5825, The object is removed (translated from Dutch)) What can/must i do to prevent this ? (This error only occurs when Ms Word is already active) Second question: Is it possible to define the photo size in my template. (I has to resize the original photo to approximately 13 x 17 cm) When the original photo is 2272x1704 everything goes well. The photo fills the cell.

    - Unlinking a document from the template Hi Group Once again I'm trying to let people use my templates not only at work, but at home as well. To make things complicated, they shouldn't need to take the template with them. So, I need to get things out of the template and into the document. Three problems arise: 1) There can't be autotext in a document (right?), so I'll have to unlink the autotext entries from the template and insert them directly into the document. 2) Macros, Toolbars, Menus: I'll have to copy them to the document in Document_new. 3) Styles are automatically copied by word and only updated from the template on request. So, for once, Word is working with me. So, my questions are: Is this all right? Isn't there an easy way of doing all this? And: how can I do 2) right? E.g. I can't see any means of enumerating all macros (and forms, and toolbars, etc.) in a certain document. Thanks for any input! cheers, Bernhard Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why?

    - Dropdown List Values In a "protected" Word2000 form template using Tables: I have a drop down list in a Cell containing only 5 items: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 When someone clicks on the dropdown and selects one of the numbers, I want to place a numeric value represented by the number in the dropdown in another column. This value will ultimately be totaled in a column at the bottom of the form. This is replicated 25 times on the form, so would like to use cell references in the formula. Example: IFB1=1,0.00,0.00 IFB1=2,0.25,0.00 IF B1=3,0.50,0.00 IF B1=4,0.75,0. 00 IF B1=5,1.00,0.00 Basically: IF, THEN, ELSE - I understand the concept, just don't know where quotes, brackets and commas should go so Word interprets it correctly. Can this be written as a nested IF statement? I believe it falls under the 7 items rule. The cell reference in the formula would have to be changed for each of the 25 instances in the table. Help in constructing this so it works would be appreciated.... My thanks and Best regards -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why? Tag: 74111

    - Do you wish to discard changes to ... and load the latest version? Hello- We are experiencing a problem with Word 2003 involving word documents that either contain macros and/or merge documents when we open them from our software. Our software just calls word and opens the document and prior to using the combination of our newest release of our software and Word 2003 we have not had a problem. Nor do we have a problem with the document UNTIL we save it in word 2003. If the document was created in office 97 through 2002 the document initially opens fine, but once we save it in Word 2003, anytime there after when we open it from our software we get the message 'Do you wish to discard the changes to <file name of the document being opened> and load the latest version?. If we say no, the document loads but reverts to a normal document instead of a mail merge main document and the autoopen or document_open macros to not fire. If we say yes to revert, the standard (2003) security message comes up - 'Opening the document will run the following SQL command:' and it opens normally and macros behave normally. I have made sure to remove all personal information from the document, accepted all changes and turned of change tracking, turned off fast saving, and stopped storing a random number to improve merge accuracy to no effect. Our software works fine with these documents in prior versions of word (97, etc), even after being saved by Word 2003 and we have tried this on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server. Any ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated. Thankx, -- Scott Lowden Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why? Tag: 74109

    - Footer Dates We have several dozen documents in one folder (G:\Specs)where the same footer information was inserted on each page. Among that information is a date (manually typed -- it is not a Date field), which is the same for each document in that folder. What we want to do is if the footer date in all of these documents needs to be changed, run a macro that opens each document, seeks out the date in the footer and replaces it with whatever date we want (provided by perhaps an Input Box). The format of the date is typically 09-21-05, but also may be 09/21/05. Can anyone give me some ideas? Thanks! Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why? Tag: 74104

    - Problem with Printing Word Documents I have a VB.NET application I wrote to assist users in printing groups of Word 2000 documents multiple times. Let say that 1 group consists of 10 word documents and I need 10 copies of the group, 100 documents total. When these documents are printed, some of the pages within the documents do not print completely. Incomplete printing would be, a document with a header and footer but no data or a document with only part of the pages data. The page or pages that are incorrect are not always the same. I have tested with several different print drivers as well as a few different printers. I believe that it is a Word issue, due to my last application change. I modified the application to print to a file and the same thing is happening. I am using Word 2000 SP3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why?

    - how to programmatically select a certificate to sign a word Docume Dear all, I would like to find the way to select programmatically the right certificate in my store before issuing the digital signature. It looks like it is quite challendging because the set signature=activedocument.signatures.add command does pop up a listbox to manually choose a certificate from . I would like to bypass this and be able to select programmatically the certificate to issue a digital signature from with some conditions on issuer and signer and has private key properties (for example). Must I use Capicom objects instead ? Is it the same if I make a signature from capicom versus from Word internally ? any code snippet to solve my issue or to show me the way is more than welcome Best regards Herve Cadieu Paris Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why?

    - Error whilst fields are updating I have designed a report template using ASK fields (the report cannot be protected and tables are not practical). A macro placed in the ThisDocument module prompts the ASK fields and it all works beautifully except that whilst the prompts for the ASK fields are on screen you can see the document behind and where the bookmark for the ASK fields are it displays "Error Bookmark not Defined" - however when they are all filled in the error disappears and the data that was typed in the boxes appears in the correct fields, but I can't have users seeing the error messages it would confuse them. I have tried all sorts of ways but cannot find how to hide the window whilst the fields are updating. I've tried Application.ScreenUpdating = False, but it didn't work. Anyone have an idea? The code is: Sub AutoNew() Dim oStory As Range For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges oStory.Fields.Update If oStory.StoryType <> wdMainTextStory Then While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing) Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange oStory.Fields.Update Wend End If Next oStory Set oStory = Nothing Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="StartDoc" End Sub Thanks for looking at this.

    - My Normal template not working in a different computer Last week I copied my normal template from my computer (with Word 97 and Windows 98) to another computer at a friend's house where I was staying (with Word 97 and Windows XP). Many of my macros didn't work. When I ran them I got this error message: "Compile error. Can't find project or library" When this happens to a macro, the highlighted text in the macro always involves the character code symbol, like this: Chr(30), for example, Selection.MoveEndWhile cset:=",.!? """ & Chr(13) So I guess I needed some special reference to be checked which would allow this computer to handle the character code symbol. Also, with many macros, I got this error message: "Compile error, can't find project or library" With other macros, I get message "Can't open macro storage." Even though the templaste containing the macro I was trying to run would open to that macro. I'm no longer working at the XP computer, but to avoid this problem in the future, does anyone know what I was doing wrong? Thanks, Larry Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why? Tag: 74054

The problem is with Word 2003: an image file (our company logo) appears at the top of the page, as designed, but is resized to 2% of it's original design. This means that the conversion ignores the width and height dimensions set in the RTF. Previous versions of Word work fine and the imaged are rendered correctly. Can anyone tell mw how to correct this? Or why this happens? Our users were very confused and thought that the image didn't get placed in the document at all.

    - Fonts could not be registered? Hi everybody, not a real problem, it's just that I am curious about it. When using Word XP after having used Word 97, a message box pops up, saying that "Some of the fonts could not be registered", or so. Which fonts? What registration? Not a VBA question for sure, forgive me. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why?

    - Microsoft Word suggestion Microsoft Word should have an option similar to T9 and other cell phone predictive text software; one that showed possibilities to finish a word as it's being typed, so that if someone is typing "onomatopoeia", they can type "onom" and see a display suggesting several ways the word could be finished; it could be like the phones, where a highlighted possible end of the word appears after every unfinished word and one can simply press ctrl or something. Or it could be more like Microsoft, and have a little separate window open with the possible words appearing as one types. Either way, I think it would be a good tool for Word. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Continuous section break interfering with odd/even page header I have created a tempate that has a different first page header/footer and odd/even headers/footers for the rest of the document. I want to start the second page of the document as two even columns (the first page is not in columns). Users are not regular Word users, therefore I have a macro that does that for them (see below). However, when you run the macro the odd/even page header that has been set up changes and instead the header for the first page is inserted. The code finds the first character on the current page, inserts a continuous section break and sets up 2 even spaced columns. Does anyone know why it plays havoc withthe header? I'd be really interested to know and grateful for a solution. The code is: Sub ConvertToColumns() 'converts the contents of the current page to two equal columns ' moves to te left of the first character at the top of the current page Selection.Bookmarks("\Page").Select Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart 'creates a continuous section break and two even columns With Selection.PageSetup.TextColumns .SetCount NumColumns:=2 .EvenlySpaced = True .LineBetween = False .Width = CentimetersToPoints(6.69) .Spacing = CentimetersToPoints(1.27) End With 'moves to the right of the last character on the page window (not to footer) Selection.Bookmarks("\Page").Select Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd End Sub Thanks for any help Aehan Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why?

    - Mail merge I am creating a mail merge Word orientation handbook that is to be unit specific. The data to make it unit specific is in an Access database. The section layout is designed to go inline with the checklist used for orientation. I have gotten the basics working as I want it to. I have also created an IF statement to display material if the department is ICU it would display specific text that isn't otherwise displayed. Here are my issues: I have more skills than most users at the facility. If I was to leave the facility I want something that isn't going to be difficult for them to maintained and improve on with time. I am concerned that if I hide material in IF statements someone else will not know how to deal with them. I am planning to create a manual to go with the handbook so I am thinking IF statements may work. I will have sections that only apply to one or two units. I will not be able to just tack on the material to the end of the main document because it would mess up the flow. For example the ER has a sub section on Radios that needs to be included in the General Operation section of the handbook not at the end. My question is how to best bring in information like this. Is there a way to insert a file or show hidden text. For example { IF Department = Emergency Room, Bookmark unhidden, Bookmark hidden } Any ideas would be appreciated to keep this project usable for basic users and slightly above basic users (me)?

    - List all Bookmarks in a Protected Form Hello everyone. I have a protected form that is filled out by various users. I would like to be able to go to the end of each completed document where there is an unprotected continuous section and click a MACROBUTTON which will run a macro that will display the "text only" of each bookmark in the document. Each bookmark text would be listed in a separate paragraph in the order that they appear on the protected form. Thanks. Tag: Macro not listed in OnExit dropdown box; why? Tag: 73983

Hello there. After creating the same macro (titled "SelectCheckbox") in both
Normal.dot and in my template document titled "Expenses.dot", I then created
a checkbox field. When I clicked the checkbox's OnExit dropdown box and
scrolled down to find SelectCheckbox macro, it wasn't there. I even tried to
look at one of the NewMacros, but it wasn't there either. SelectCheckbox is
not a Public Sub by the way. Can anyone tell me why the SelectCheckbox macro
wasn't listed under the OnExit dropdown box?

Also, I find it exasperating that the width of OnExit dropdown box is so
narrow that a long macro name is truncated. What gives with that?

Thanks!
