    - Is there a way to automate Viewing Only of Word Files? I'm writing an document mailmerge / storage system that automates Word in various ways but there are times when I want to let users just View word .doc or .dot files but not give them any false sense of secutiry that they can edit at that time. Opening for Readonly is no good because it still lets the user do edits, albeit they save somewhere else. I've seen 3rd party viewer ActiveXs - I tried one but it conflicted with the MS Word that was active at the time - no good for me. I've tried opening word files in an IE window on a vb Form. is this the best way? Any help, as always, much appreciated.

    - form field losses name property Hi, i'm using often in word-templates VBA-code like that: document.bookmarks(name_of_a_bookmark).result="xxxxxxx". normally that works fine. But, sometimes, i can't use the name property! strange: in the properties of the formfield i can see the name, but i can't use it with vba! this problem occours not often, but it happens. Onyone knows the reason ? (There was already a thread on this point at 14 Jun 2004) Thanks Gerhard Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 99087

    - Find & Replace Macro I have a text document (that I can open in Word) that I need to do a Find & Replace on 9624 records. The same words appear at the start of each record. I need to do a Find on those words, and then replace the word with 20 'Manual Returns' and the original words. In short, I need to add 20 blank lines between each record. Is there an easy way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 99086

    - Shell command under Windows Vista Hi all, I have a tiny problem with a vba code under Windows Vista. I need a way to start a program using the shell command or something else like this: shell("updater.exe", 1) The problem is, that this is actually an updater program, which has to be started in Administrator mode. Now, when I try to start it like in Win Xp the user doesn't get the UAC Window asking him if he wants to continue starting the program. The Shell command doesn't do anything. Anybody has an idea how can I accomplish this? (Starting Winword.exe under Administrator privileges solves the problem, but this is of course out of question) Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 99084

    - Help Word 2003 I have written (with the help of others as I am not any good at it) some code to insert a Purchase Order Number in sequence. This is done by accessing a menu within Word called template tools. Everything works fine if you go to File, Open, Select the relevant template, Click Open and *Enable Macros*. The same happens if you go to File New, From Existing document, select the relevant template, Click Open *Enable Macros*. However, if you use File New, and select it from either the recently used files list it does not work and although the file opens - when you try to insert the PO number you get the following error Microsoft Visual Basic System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259). Unspecified Error. Is this to do with the "Enabling Macros" bit or what do you think? I could (with help - please ;-) ) write some code within this to ensure that macros are enabled on opening the file??? What do you think? here is a copy of the code: Sub AddPONo() Order = System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\folder\IT\Purchase Orders\Settings.Txt", _ "MacroSettings", "Order") If Order = "" Then Order = 508 Else Order = Order + 1 End If System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\folder\IT\Purchase Orders\Settings.txt", "MacroSettings", _ "Order") = Order ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Order").Range.InsertBefore Format(Order, "IT00000#") ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\server\folder\IT\Purchase Orders\" & Format(Order, "IT00000#.doc") End Sub Sub AutoOpen() Dim aStory As Range Dim aField As Field For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges For Each aField In aStory.Fields aField.Update Next aField Next aStory End Sub Thanks in advance for any help/advise you can offer.

    - Using VBA to set "Disable features introduced after" to false. Hi I have tried to use the following line of code to disable the feature "Save Word files as" option in Word options on document open: Word.Options.DisableFeaturesbyDefault = False by using this I was hoping to disable stop the option from renabling with older documents also.

I know I can limit the number of characters, but users will be entering a mix of capital and lower case letters, so it is hard to know what to set the max length to.

    - Dynamic List Box using VBA I wasn't really sure how to phrase this one -- this isn't your Typical Drop-Down List. I have a SELECT statement which queries SQL Server 2005 and displays the data in Excel. Let's say that a database lists products that have been delivered to 4 different cities, on 3 seperate days -- without knowing (in advance) the delivery dates, how could I create an input/drop-down field to allow the user to specify a particular date? I envision something like this: VBA code produces a list box of delivery dates based on a particular product and city. The user selects a delivery date from the list-boxe, and this selection gets passed to a SQL Select Statement to return the data to an EXCEL spreadsheet. I just don't know of any way to do this ... Below is the code I'm using -- =================== Option Explicit Sub DataExtractSpecific() ' Create a connection object. Dim cnExcel As ADODB.Connection Set cnExcel = New ADODB.Connection ' Provide the connection string. Dim strConn As String 'Use the SQL Server OLE DB Provider. strConn = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;" 'Connect to the DWS_Sales database on the Products Server. strConn = strConn & "DATA SOURCE=xx.x.xx.xx;INITIAL CATALOG=Products;" & _ "User Id=xxxxxxx;" & _ "Password=xxxxxx" 'Now open the connection. cnExcel.Open strConn On Error Resume Next ' Create a recordset object. Dim OppNumber As String Dim sqlCommand As String 'Dim CloseDate As Date Dim rsExcel As ADODB.Recordset Set rsExcel = New ADODB.Recordset OppNumber = InputBox("Please Re-Enter Product Number for the 2nd lookup query.") 'CloseDate = InputBox("Enter the Purchase Date -- like 2/26/2007 11:44") sqlCommand = "SELECT * FROM Tracking_Specific WHERE [Product Number] = " + ProdNumber With rsExcel ' Assign the Connection object. .ActiveConnection = cnExcel ' Extract the required records. .Open sqlCommand ' Copy the records into cell A1 on Sheet1. Sheet1.Range("A3").CopyFromRecordset rsExcel ' Tidy up .Close End With cnExcel.Close Set rsExcel = Nothing Set cnExcel = Nothing End Sub =============== Many Thanks (in advance) for any assistance on this.

    - old amounts in an array run more than once I have created a complex macro in word reading through a standardised document. All amounts are picked up in an array called NBs(40,10) through a select case. If I start the macro once again - even with another document - the old amounts are still in the NBs() array. I then tried a sub to clean up the array. That did even not work. So I have top close Word completely to avoid old figures? I have run the macro in word 2000 2003 and now in 2007 with the same bad result. Are there anybody who knows a way around this fault? kind regards Niels Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 99057

    - Word should have alpha toolbar like Outlook Contacts re: file find I would like to suggest that an option presently utilized in Microsoft Outlook Contacts be designed similarly in Microsoft Word. I continuously update my address book in Outlook, and I know what a timesaving detail the right-hand alpha tool bar is. I would like to recommend that there be a similar toolbar designed in Microsoft Word, so that there would be greater ease in tracking and retrieiving Word documents. The scroll bar alone is not effective enough in file finding. I know first hand because of my administrative duties what an a wonderful asset it would be to retrieve documents quicker by clicking on the alpha tab that corresponds to the name of the file that has been created. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Help creating and Find & Replace macro This situation happens to me so often, I really want to create a macro to get the job done. I'm just not sure how to do this. I get Word documents that have spaces instead of tabs to align text into columns. (Yes, it is very annoying.) Right now, I have to find the longest one (the one with the most spaces), copy those spaces, and paste them into the Find & Replace dialog box under find what. I enter ^t in the Replace box and do a Replace All. I then delete one space and hit Replace All again. If there are anywhere from 5 to 50 spaces, you can see that this would take quite a long time. Is there anyway to create a loop that would start with the number of spaces I specify and remove one space with each loop through? My brain is about to explode trying to figure this one out.

I would like to create a copy of the file on my local drive using VBA. THe problem is that: 1) I can't use saveas because if I do the active document becomes the new copy and I can't programaticly reopen the old one because the http: address will only open throught the prop app. 2) it's XML and it goes crazy (looses the XML coding in the background) when i select all and paste it into a new temp file.

    - Clipboard is empty or not valid I am attempting to automate word from .NET, inserting rtf by copying it into the Clipboard from a string and pasting it into a word range. However, I get the following COMException about half the time that I try pasting using the Range.Paste() method. "This method or property is not available because the Clipboard is empty or not valid." The code to copy/paste is as follows: string rtf; //contains the rtf that I want to insert Range range; //the range to paste to try { lock(OfficeConstants.RTF_CONTROL) //this is a .NET RichTextBox { OfficeConstants.RTF_CONTROL.Set(rtf); OfficeConstants.RTF_CONTROL.CopyToClipboard(); } } catch { Clipboard.Clear(); throw; } Options opts = range.Application.Options; bool origSmartPaste = opts.SmartCutPaste; try { opts.SmartCutPaste = false; //disable smart pasting range.Paste(); //THIS IS THE LINE THAT THROWS THE EXCEPTION } finally { opts.SmartCutPaste = origSmartPaste; } The copy part works, as the value is in the clipboard, even when the error occurs. I can also eliminate the error by sleeping for a few milliseconds between copying and pasting. This makes me think it is some sort of timing issue with the value not being ready when trying to paste. Does anyone know anthing more about the cause of this, or a fix? Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 99018

    - XML protection I am creating a Word Template in VSTO by attaching a schema to it and apply XML tags in it. The user can fill in the document by several taskpanes. The document in general is protected but when a user selects an xml-node I use the _ContextEnter to unprotect the document and the _ContextLeave to protect the document again. If the document is unprotected, the user can delete the content within the xml tag (for editing without using the taskpane) but the user can ALSO delete the xml-tag itself which should not happen at all. After the xml-tag is deleted the document goes in protectionmode but obvious this is too late because the tag shouldn't be removed at all. Anybody knows a solution or workaround for this?

    - List of cross-references based on custom style Hi, I have been trying to find a way to make it easy for our authors to cross-reference to Appendix headings. We use custom styles called App Heading 1 to 5. These appear in the Cross-reference dialog box under the Reference Type: Numbered Items. But so too do all the other numbered items. I would like to be able to do any of the following: 1. Filter the 'For Which' list in the Cross-Reference dialog box to show only the numbered items I want; or 2. Use a custom form to show a filtered list. I have been successful with programatically changing the settings in the Cross-reference dialog box using the SendKeys method to. But don't know how to filter the Numbered Items list further. I have created forms before, and suspect that I might need to use an array and maybe the GetCrossReferenceItems method, but not sure how to filter the list to specific items.

    - How to determine Table Indent I used to use Table.Rows.LeftIndent property to determine a table's indent value. If this is value was set to wdUndefined then usually Table.Rows(0).LeftIndent is the most appropriate since some documents tend to indent all other rows slightly to enhance the appearance. I have found that some tables have vertically merged cells so individual rows cannot be accessed. However, Word reports the correct value from the Table Properties menu. Is there a way to obtain the indent value in VBA under these conditions?

    - Troubleshooting Auto Text Hi, I'm having a problem keeping my Auto Text attached to my form. Here is what I have done so far. 1. Created a document (doc.) Created the Auto Text and added the macro to insert the Auto Text. 2. Protected the .doc and saved it as a template (.dot). When I open the template and run the "insert Auto Text" macro (which also unprotects the form and re-protects it) I get an error message that the Auto Text cannot be located. I then: 3. Unprotect the template and transfer over the Auto Text (Tools, Templates & Add ins, Organizer, etc) 4. Re-protect the template. 5. When I go to save the template I can only select the "save as" option. And when I resave the template I lost the Auto Text and all my macros. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I am not doing properly? Warm Regards, SMOO Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 98975

    - Checkbox control change bypassing ThisDocument.Saved Hello, I have created a one page "checklist" consisting of a few tables for a user to enter information, as well as four checkboxes from the Control Toolbar. I have my own FileSave and FileSaveAs macros to force the user into entering some information prior to saving the document. I also used Document_Close to bypass the generic "Do you want to save changes..." prompt. If ThisDocument.Saved is false my Yes/No/Cancel box appears. Yes - call my FileSave macro No - set ThisDocument.Saved to True (to bypass the built-in "Do you want to save changes..." prompt and exit) Cancel - send Esc All of this worked well until I added the checkboxes. If the user makes a change to a table cell (e.g. they enter their name), and tries to close the document without saving, my prompt appears. If they click No, the document closes (no further questions asked). If they click one of the checkboxes and try to close the document, my prompt appears. After clicking No, the built-in "Do you want to save changes..." appears even if ThisDocument.Saved is set to True by the prior "No" click. How do I prevent a change to the checkbox from causing Word to prompt the user to save with its own dialog box? Private Sub CheckBox1_Click() ThisDocument.Saved = False End Sub Private Sub Document_Close() ... ' Present the user with custom options if an attempt is made to close the ' document without saving If Not ThisDocument.Saved Then intMsgBoxResult = MsgBox(strFileName & " has changed. Save the change(s)?", _ vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Checklist") If intMsgBoxResult = 6 Then 'Yes ' Ensure that if the user choses to save the document that the Name field is populated If strName = "" Then intMsgBoxResult = MsgBox("Please enter a Name prior" _ & " to saving the document.", vbCritical, _ "Checklist") SendKeys "{ESC}" ThisDocument.Bookmarks("YourName").Select Else Functions.FileSave End If ElseIf intMsgBoxResult = 7 Then 'No ' Prevent Word's default "save changes" prompt from activating ThisDocument.Saved = True ElseIf intMsgBoxResult = 2 Then 'Cancel ' Word's default "save changes" prompt will become activated, but ' close immediately SendKeys "{ESC}" End If End If End Sub Thanks, Mike Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 98971

    - How to import data into a word document from sql server express 20 I have a lot of valueable test data (html actually) locked up in a sqlserver express 2005 database table. I want to access this in word. I was looking for a word macro, which will connect to the database, and do a sql select from a colum in a table and display the content in word. I've looked for a simple example, but found none. Can someone help with a bit of 'How To' sample code. Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 98950

    - Assigning a Macro to object, textbox, etc. Is there a way to assign a macro to an object or text box or even hyperlink text within the body of Word? I'm used to simply adding a command button on the sheet in Excel, but does not seem to be an equivalent in word. I was excited when I found the drop down on the floating textbox toolbar that led to the customize dialog, but that turned out to be just for the toolbars. I could not see any way to attach it to the textbox. My macro turns hidden text on and off. Distributing the solution with a button embedded in the text would be more obvious than a toolbar button. Any help appreciated TIA ed Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 98949

    - Table Cell Targeting Hello, I'm new to creating userfroms in Word. I did fairly well when working with Excel-Userforms but now im having some trouble and would appreciate any help. My question is how do you link a textbox with a specific cell in a word Table? I need it so when the user pulls up the form in the textbox they see whatever text is in the cell, they can then edit or type and it will then a change event would change the cell's text to match. I figured out how to use bookmarks to refer to a specific location but I could not get it to load back in the textbox. I appreciate any help, I hope it is a simple line of code im missing. Ben Z.

    - Macro Output to OE6 Change 'From' Field Hello, This macro works well. It formats/parses a document and merge exports it as and Outlook Express 6 email ( *.eml ) The only problem is that no matter what is in the very first line, which is the 'From' field, the finished email always reverts to the default email account in the 'From' field. So the first line reads: From: "John Doe" <john@domain.com> But since the default account in OE6 is otherdomain.com , the From field reads: From: "John B. Doe" <john@otherdomain.com> Any way to force text into that From field? Thank you. Tag: Methods of specifying document content Tag: 98920

    - Find and reset particular styles [Word 2003]: I am trying to figure out a way to programatically apply the ".font.reset" method to all text of particular document style. Ideally I would like to do it using the Range method of Find, but the exact syntax is eluding me. More detail: I have set up a number of checkboxes to show/hide certain portions of a long document based on styles (by modifying the ".font.hidden" property of certain styles). However, I am finding that the document can get out of whack, where certain sections seem to have the "hidden" property applied even though it is not default for the style (probably because I am also using the bookmark method to show/hide certain contiguous portions of the document). I want an easy way to quickly reset text in particular styles to the style default. The non programatic way would be to use the Style pull-down and "Select all X instances", then click the style name and select "Reapply Style" from the dialog box that comes up. Thanks.
