 - Deploying Templates I have a batch file that I run to distribute templates throughout the company as a whole. I created a digital certificate which is used by each; each template has the digital certioficate associated with it. All users security level are set at 'Medium'. I have Office 2003 users as well as Office 2007 users. Users are still receiving errors on initial startup of Word; as well as constantly being asked ot enable macros. They should never be prompted. What do I change to ensure that all users are not receiving these messages? Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115240

 - Controling Custom Dialog Box - Word 2000 Hi, I'm working on a custom dialog box. I'm in the beginning stages and am running into a problem. I have 2 frames with option buttons and one check box. The user has to make a selection in the first frame. If the user selects the 4th button the second frame and the check box become enabled. They can choose an option button from the 2nd frame OR the check box. They must choose an option button in the second frame OR the check box. If they choose an option button or the check box ... no problem. Right now when they hit OK and leave both (2nd frame and check box) unselected the dialog box closes. How do i keep the dialog box from closing and keep the option button in the first frame selected? Hope this makes sense. jbc Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115237

 - figure out cursor location in word 03 Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with the following problem that i'm having. Is there a way of figuring out where the cursor is in a document? The reason for that is I have a code that would insert a new Section in the document report. Here is the code ' Insert a heading for the new section. Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Section Heading 1") ' Insert the heading's text based on InputBox entry. ' Add a paragraph break to return to "Normal" text. Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak Selection.TypeText Text:=InputBox("Please enter section heading:", "Enter Section Heading") Selection.TypeParagraph This will work if the cursor is on the newline. It would place another section (e.g. Section 2) on the next page. However, the problem arises when the cursor is not on the newline. For example, Section 1. Water Sewage Blah blah Classification report If the user by accident leaves the cursor at the end of the word "report" and select the macro to insert a new section, it'd be stuffed up. Instead of getting Section 2 to show on the next page, i'd get as follows: Section 1. Water Sewage Blah blah Section 2. Classification report --------- page break ------- Section 3. Reconciliation Not sure if anyone would like to throw in some ideas here. What i come up with is if we could find out where the cursor is and can check to see if it's at the newline or not. Your help'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance url:http://www.ureader.com/gp/1022-1.aspx Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115235

 - Unwanted Spellcheck Dialog Hi All... I'm trying to use Office 2007's (and 2003...) Word to spellcheck a field on a web form. I'm using javascript running in the browser on a client machine. I'm using the following code... var word = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application"); word.Visible = false; word.WindowState = 2; word.DisplayAlerts = false; var doc = word.Documents.Add(); doc.Content = 'Hello World, I can spel.'; doc.CheckSpelling(); var count = doc.SpellingErrors.Count; When it runs, the call to CheckSpelling seems to hang. Upon investigation, I find a dialog under all of my other windows offering to help resolve the spelling error - a spellcheck dialog. I dont want that dialog - I'd rather resolve the spelling issues programmatically from within my javascript. How do I keep that dialog from popping up? Many thanks. -- Curt Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115218

 - Page number fields issue I've got a Word 2003 template that I have deployed to four of our locations. Each office has its own location for this template. I have a person at one office who is complaining that her page numbering is off. The document is 26 pages but the ToC lists 32. I completely redid the document in a template from my location and it worked fine. I applied the template that they are using in that office and it worked fine. But when she applied their template at her location, the ToC listed 27 pages instead of 26. The document works fine at our other locations. I had her try it on another machine there and she got the same results. I have no idea what could be happening. Any ideas? Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115201

 - Alot of Content Controls in a VSTO Word solution causes CPU max ou I am trying to develop a Word 2007 VSTO solution which contains about 1000 content controls. This sounds like a lot but it is a fairly simple solution with just a lot of repeating data. After deploying the solution I open the document and click inside one of the content controls which causes Word to max out the CPU while it does "something". I wish I knew what the something was so I could fix it. (My guess is that it is binding all the controls but it should not take that long on a superfast computer.) Note that after first click, the document seems to work fine -- navigating to other controls etc. and no CPU problem. This problem is reproducible by simply creating a new VSTO Word 2007 document solution and adding a Plain Text content control and copy/pasting it down in the document 1000 times. Then deploy it. You don't even need to do anything in the customization (add events etc.), just deploy as-is. Below are the results I have seen which shows that the problem gets exponentially worse: 600 Controls (25 pages) Response: 11 seconds 900 Controls (38 pages) Response: 35 seconds 1200 Controls (50 pages) Response: 1 min 20 seconds I would really like to be able to develop this as a Word solution so if somebody has any info on this at all it would be much appreciated. (Please don't respond and tell me to do an InfoPath solution.) Thanks alot, jbstrive Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115151

 - VBA - Word 2002 form | auto-SUM function for bookmarked table cell I've created a protected Word 2002 form that allows users to enter data into text fields. This form will then be printed out and turned in. I want to SUM 2-3 table cells that are bookmarked income_1, income_2, etc... and display the result in a TOTAL cell below the values. I can use a Word SUM Function to SUM the bookmarked values, but I have to update that manually. This form is for others, so I would like the SUM function to happen automatically. Is there VBA code to automatically SUM the values in the cells bookmarked income_1, income_2, etc...? And display it in another cell? I thought maybe it could be a BookMark-Change event that will fire the Macro. Or maybe I could put a button in the form that says "Calculate" and then that would fire the manual "update" function via VBA code. I hope you understand what I am asking.

 - VBA - totally disable Enter Key in Word Form? Keypreview in Word? FIRST, I've read the MS KB article on how to insert 4 macros into a word form to make the enter key act as a tab, and that is not the answer I need. I want to keep the conditional formatting in my data-entry table cells in my Word form. I see a lot of questions that ask this, but none that seem to ask/answer this specific question. I want to totally disable the use of the Enter key in my Word form, NOT try to use it as TAB. I have created a form in Word 2002, which will be a template that users can use to create a new form they can fill out. I am using EXACT row heights, and the form is ready to go. However, I don't want the user to be able to press the ENTER key in the form because it creates a new line, and I'm working with NOVICE users, so I don't want ANYTHING to be confusing at all (or the work won't get done!). So, I want to totally disable ENTER key use via a Word function or VBA, so that nothing happens when they press it, maybe just a Message-Box telling them that ENTER is disabled (they can navigate by TAB and MOUSE). Surely this is possible, especially in VBA code. Does Word have a Keypreview property that I can change? Set KeyValue=0, or something? When the doc opens, a Macro runs that disables the enter key by setting its value to 0? If you can help me with this, I'd appreciate it. A reading of many discussion threads got me close to the answer, but doesn't have my situational context. Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115136

 - Character Limits and Macro Spell Check I have a document with forms in it, and there are a few sections where I have to limit the number of characters. So I inserted a Legacy Form Field text box and then limited the characters through properties. However, when I try to run a spell check macro, it is spell checking all of my other form fields (these are RichText content controls), except for this one. I tried inserting a RichText content control into the Legacy Form Field, but that wouldn't work either. I just need to limit the characters people are typing in this section and then spell check. To be honest, I don't even care if it's protected or not. I've tried this macro: Sub SCForm() ActiveDocument.Unprotect Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub And this one: Sub FormsSpellCheck() ' If document is protected, Unprotect it. If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="not2day" End If ' Set the language for the document. Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS ' Perform Spelling/Grammar check. If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar Else ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling End If ' ReProtect the document. If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End If End Sub The same thing happens. It checks everything but the character limiting one. I also tried the one recommended on the MVP, and I couldn't get that one to work at all. I wasn't quite sure what to copy/paste and what to delete from that huge section. Thanks in advance. Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115133

 - Set Focus and Incorrect Dates I'm having a problem with getting SetFocus to work and with 1/1/2008 being recognized as later then 12/31/2007. I have listed the code below. (Sorry this is so long). It originally had a Cancel = True on the Event but I was asked to remove it. The reason being if the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate is before the txt BenefitPeriodBeginDate but it's the begin date that was entered incorrectly then the user has to enter a date in the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate before it will allow them to get back to the txtBenefitPeriodBeginDate. The two sets of dates I have work together. They are: txtBenefitPeriodStartDate txtBenefitPeriodEndDate (must be later then txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) txtHRAStartDate (must be later or equal to txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) txtHRAEndDate (must be later then txtHRAStartDate and equal to the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate) Since they do work together I just want to remove the text from txtBenefitEndDate and keep the cursor there because if it moves to txtHRAStartDate then I get that message if I click into txtBenefitPeriodStartDate. Here is the code for txtBenefitPeriodEndDate and txtHRAStartDate: Private Sub txtBenefitPeriodEndDate_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ' 5.) Benefit Period End Date must be greater then 4.) 'Benefit Period Start Date. If txtBenefitPeriodEndDate.Value < txtBenefitPeriodStartDate.Value Then MsgBox "The Benefit Period End Date must be" _ & vbCrLf & "after the Benefit Period Start Date." txtBenefitPeriodEndDate = Null txtBenefitPeriodEndDate.SetFocus End If End Sub Private Sub txtHRAStartDate_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ' 6.) HRA Start Date must be later or equal to 4.) Benefit Period Start Date If txtHRAStartDate.Value < txtBenefitPeriodStartDate Then MsgBox "The HRA Start Date must be later or" _ & vbCrLf & "equal to the Benefit Period Start Date" txtHRAStartDate.Value = Null txtHRAStartDate.SetFocus End If End Sub I am just beginning to learn and am very confused why SetFocus doesn't seem to work. It seems to work fine if I want it to go in a forward motion but if I try to get it to stay where it is or go backwards it just doesn't work. Also, the dates. It works if 01/01/2008 (txtBenefitPeriodEndDate) is before 01/02/2008 (txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) but not if 12/31/2007 is prior to 01/01/2008. Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 - Filtering Columns in Word? Hi, Iâ??m trying to implement something similar to AutoFilter in Excel. I have several tables in a document. Two of the columns in each table are called â??Service Descriptionâ?? and â??Type of inspectionâ?? respectively. Since there are only three Types of inspection, a simplified version of those two columns could look as follows: â??Service Descriptionâ?? â??Type of Inspectionâ?? Description1 C1 Description2 C1 Description3 HGP Description4 HGP Description5 MI Description6 MI Let's suppose that every table has something similar to what's shown above. What I would like to accomplish is that through the click of a button or a macrobutton field or whichever you consider is the most appropriate event handler, every table in the document gets filtered based on the Type of Inspection. I was thinking about having three macrobutton fields, called "CI", "HGP" and "MI", so that upon double-clicking "CI" for example, every table in the document hides/unhides the appropriate rows. (i.e it only shows the rows that correspond to a CI Inpection Type). Is there a way to accomplish this? How can I refer to each table in a document? and moreover, How can I select the appropriate range to hide it based on the clicked button? Thank you, Juan Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT.......

 - Word Macro for Printing Sections Hello, We have a form letter which is 2 pages. We do a mail merge from an Excel sheet. The mail merge creates a new word document with all of the form letters addressed to the different addressees. It appears that Word turns each set of pages into a section. This is fine. We then fax these to the addressees using our fax printer. I have created a macro that prints each section as an individual document which then gets faxed to the customer. The problem is the number of sections is a variable. One week it may be 90 the next it may be 100. The macro I created has 140 print sections in it. This works fine until the last section. Because the macro has 140 sections the last fax has not only the 2 pages it should have but then it back tracks and adds an additional 2 pages until it gets to 140. So the last fax may have 80 pages in it. I need the macro to understand how many sections there is and stop when it gets to the end. Any advise would be great! Thank you.

 - Preventing macro from copying over from template to document I have made a template which just puts in a date range then autosaves the file to a particular name when you close it. This create a new document, but all the macro coding from the template file is copied into the document. How can you set it so that the coding from the template isn't copied into the document? I would also prefer if the file isn't saved on close, but if the name and location of the document is just set by the macro (so when you go file>save it still lets you change the name and location if you want). But i coulnd't get it to go to the right directory. This is the code i have: Private Function WeekStart() As Date Dim wday As Byte wday = Weekday(Date) Select Case wday Case 1 WeekStart = Date Case 2 WeekStart = Date - 1 Case 3 WeekStart = Date - 2 Case 4 WeekStart = Date - 3 Case 5 WeekStart = Date - 4 Case 6 WeekStart = Date - 5 Case 7 WeekStart = Date - 6 End Select End Function Private Sub Document_Close() Sunday = Format(WeekStart() + 7, "d") Saturday = Format(WeekStart() + 13, "d MMM yy") FileTitle = Sunday & " - " & Saturday & ".doc" ActiveDocument.SaveAs "J:\Editorial\Magellan\Sickness Absence\Afghan\" & FileTitle End Sub Private Sub Document_New() Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="DateRange" Selection.InsertBefore Format(WeekStart() + 7, "dddd, d MMMM") Selection.InsertAfter " to " Selection.InsertAfter Format(WeekStart() + 13, "dddd, d MMMM yyyy") End Sub Thats all in the ThisDocument module.

 - Selecting a paragraph I need to add '' at the beginning and '' at the end of the particular paragraph then move to the beginning of the next paragraph. The following works if the insertion point is at the beginning of the paragraph but falls down if not. I have tried various key combinations to try to get to the beginning of the paragraph but if the insertion point is already there they fall down too.

 - Template with Conditional Formating I am looking to create a template or form in Word 2003 that will contain a variable number of items each with a drop down list. For example... Body Text Exhibit A: Drop Down List ... Exhibit N: Drop Down List Body Text The drop down list for each exhibit will be the same, but the drop down item selected for first exhibit would be different from the next. I want a way for the user to indicate what their last exhibit will be (any letter A-N), lets say 'D' and then only have Exhibits A through D be available. Also, when the template is printed then only the relevant exhibits and body text should print. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115069

 - Continuous Numbering of Pages Across Files I'm trying to consecutively number pages across a large number of files that are all in the same folder. I'm trying to use the IncludeText field tip that Cindy Meister mentions on her website but I'm running into all sorts of weird problems. I've had this working on a few files and then "magically" the fields no longer work and indicate there are syntax errors. I'm talking about in the files that were working. Does the IncludeText method actually work? Is there a better method? I'm using Word 2003 under Windows XP. Thanks in advance for any help/tips. Brian Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115066

 - Word 2007 Global Building Blocks Hi, I have put my Word 2007 autotext entries into one file as a BB.dotx and saved it in the default startup directory as noted in file Locations. I also create a .dotm macros file that access any custom autotext from that BB.dotx file. There is another program that has a template in the same folder. For some reason when this other programs template is running I get an error that says my BB.dotx or Macros.dotm file says it is read-only. The .dotx and .dotm files get pushed out to the users C:/ drive and is not on a network. If I change my Macros.dotm file to be 2003 compatible then only the bb.dotx file gives an read-only warning. Now I noticed if I saved my BB.dotx file to the ...\Application Data \Microsoft\Building Blocks folder, then I don't get the error anymore. However the problem is I don't want the Building Blocks to be in the users directory. Is there a way to change the global location for Building Blocks or a better way of doing this? Thank you for your time and help. Kerri Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT....... Tag: 115060

 - Macro to access Outlook 2007 Hello, Ok, so here's my issue. Do to the security settings in my office, Outlook 2007 is set up so you can not write any VBA code or create any macros. But I have this report that is made up every morning and I have began the processes of trying to automate this report in Word 2003, and in this doc I have calculated fields, linked excel charts/graphs, etc... . But a couple tables that are in this report are emailed to me every morning. The emails come as an attachment which opens up IE and displays a table. So what I'm trying to do(if possible), is to use VB in word to pullOut/extract or whatever the correct terminology is and place that table into word. Possible? Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT.......

 - change font color macro In Word 2003, I've written a macro to change specific parts of the text in a document to Dark Red (RGB 128,0,0) with a Find/Replace. I tested and created the Find/Replace first, then duplicated the actions to record the macro. When I do the F/R manually, it works just fine; it also works while I'm recording it. After I finish the recording and run the macro, however, it does everything EXCEPT change the color. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Here's the text of my macro: ' FixResumeProjectName Macro ' Macro recorded 6/25/2008 by klsigel ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "---*---" .Replacement.Text = "^&" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "---" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub Thanks- Karen Tag: HOT NEWS FROM MICROSOFT.......

 - Block a document from email Hello all I would like to know how to block a document from being emailed, for example if it had a specific word in it - maybe in the properties. I don't really want to lock the document and I wondered if there was a way of coding a template to block it from email. Does anyone know if that is possible? Thank you.
