    - How to create Macro that will prefix all lines with a character? Hi! I need a VBA Macro that will process a selected section of text as Quoted Text - similar to how email programs do it when you Reply to a Plain Text message. Basically, it needs to take a selected section of text and prefix every line with a ">" character, whether the selected lines have a Line Break at the end, or if they are simply wrapped around the next line. Creating a Macro that prefixes a single line of text is easy: ------------------------------- Sub QuoteLine() Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine Selection.TypeText Text:=">" Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1 Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine End Sub --------------------------------- But I don't know how to alter this code so that it processes a selected section of text. Can anyone help? Thanks! Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43727

    - Doevents in Word 2003 Has anyone had problems with this? On two machines I have, both with latest releases and sp1 for Ofiice 2003 the following code runs 'like a dog' and hogs 100% of cpu cycles, even with no other user processes executing. The letters come out very, very slowly. Usually the first line comes after a long wait, the next part comes regularly as is hoped for. Private Sub TypeString(str As String, delay As Long) Dim iIndex As Long Dim iStringLength As Long Dim oDoc As Document Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Dim oRange As Range Set oRange = oDoc.Content oRange.Text = "" iStringLength = Len(str) For iIndex = 1 To iStringLength oRange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd oRange.Text = Mid$(str, iIndex, 1) DoPause delay Next iIndex End Sub Private Sub DoPause(secs As Long) Dim fFinish As Single fFinish = Timer + secs Do While Timer < fFinish DoEvents Loop End Sub Public Sub ShowMessage() TypeString "Happy New Year" & vbCrLf & "from" & vbCrLf & "Joe", 2 End Sub I run ShowMessage via alt+F8 and double clicking list box entry. Perhaps there is something else wrong with the code? Thanks -- Joe Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43720

    - Save as... something in my document... Hi, I'm quite ignorant in VBA... and I've got a problem... I've got this Word file, which I use to generate about 80 (different but alike) HTML-files by merging it with an Excel-file... The result: one big Wordfile. This should be cut into pieces, each page in a different file, saved as a .txt-file. In each page of the 'mainfile' I've made myself a remark: save this file as 'whatever.txt'. I've made a macro already that cuts the content of one 'subfile' and pastes it into a new file which I then have to save by hand. I'm sure it should be possible to let a macro determine (from the text) what the filename should be, and save the file with the right filename... but how... Anyone?

    - Supress Headings I am using word XP. I am trying to apply headings (legal type) to a document of paragraphs based upon styles and would like to be able to skip paragraphs which should be grouped under specific headings without numbers as they are not independent. I am trying to do this withing a vba. Applying the paragraph format value to supress the numbers does not work even if I try this manually. Long ago there was a feature in the old word basic that allowed one to specify which paragraphs got numbers by assigning a number to the desired paragraphs prior to applying the heading formatting. Does any such method exist now? Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43710

    - Hiding the looping calculations I have an application where I am calculating the average of columns in a form table. The calculation works fine but it is somewhat slow and it causes the monitor to blink for about a minute as it loops through all the cells. Is there a way to hide the calculation, to turn the "echo" off so it went peacefully through the loop and then presented the result? I am hoping that this may speed it up a little. Here is the code I am currently using, based on help from Doug Robbins. I am not sure it works on the multiple columns with the numbered mysum and counter variables. I would welcome comments on that also. Thanks - Steve Dim i As Integer, mysum As Long, Counter As Integer ActiveDocument.Unprotect mysum1 = 0 counter1 = 0 mysum2 = 0 counter2 = 0 mysum3 = 0 counter3 = 0 mysum4 = 0 counter4 = 0 mysum5 = 0 counter5 = 0 mysum6 = 0 counter6 = 0 ' Carpet For i = 155 To 191 mysum1 = mysum1 + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("dropdown" & i).Result) If Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("dropdown" & i).Result) <> 0 Then counter1 = counter1 + 1 End If Next i ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text374").Result = mysum1 / counter1 ' Tile For i = 192 To 228 mysum2 = mysum2 + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("dropdown" & i).Result) If Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("dropdown" & i).Result) <> 0 Then counter2 = counter2 + 1 End If Next i ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text380").Result = mysum2 / counter2 ActiveDocument.Protect _ Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43686

    - Run time error 52 Hi all - Could use some help on this one. I've got a module and two userforms. When I try to show the second userform I get an error message of "runtime error '52' bad file name or number" and it highlights my form2.show command. When I run the same code on my home machine it works, but on my office machine I get the error message. Any suggestions on what can be causing this and how to fix it? If it helps, here are the two ways I've tried to show the second form based on some previous posts: In module Sub StartMyForm() Form1.show End Sub In Form1 CmdButton1_Click Displays a dialog box CmdButton2_Click Displays another dialog box CmdButton3_Click Me.Hide Function1 Function2 Form2.Show (This is the line highlighted after the error message) I've also tried this method but got the same error message: In module Sub StartMyForm() Form1.Show Form2.Show Unload Form1 Unload Form2 End Sub Again, both methods worked on my home machine, neither works on the office machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tom Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43685

    - document_new May i start by wishing everyone here a happy new year. And now, my question. We have a document management system which produces Word documents for us. This process involves a user inputing data into the application which then performs a merge from a template provided by us to produce the document. However, any code provided by me within the template gets ignored & stripped out by the merge. What i've been trying to do is produce some automation functions to be fired off within the Document_New event of the template, but these get ignored. So my question is this...Can anybody suggest a way of working around this? I'd like to avoid having to train users to click something once their doc is produced and would like to keep things as automated as possible. I'm guessing maybe something in Startup/Addins but i'm unsure. Any help gratefully recieved Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43673

    - Persistant variables in word 2002 I've got a fairly large macro in word 2002 that needs to store document state variables inside a doc without them being accessible to regular users. is this possible and if so, where? Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43666
  - 17
    - Let user click in doc while macro runs? I have a macro which requires the user to select where the action will happen. I have two issues to deal with: (a) I'm making this a Private Sub, dependent on the running of a previous macro, because I need to pass a total count variable from the previous macro into this one. (b) This is a repeated action, so this macro will update a counter every time it's run and compare it with the passed-on variable to know when to stop. The macro will find a generic label statement and replace it with a user-chosen label (input earlier via InputBox) that includes a number (the counter which increments each time the loop is run). Is there any way I can break out of the loop to ask the user to "Place the cursor where you want the text to be", then let the macro continue? If not, what might be the best way to handle this?

    - A procedure to write a procedure - shareware time limit I am trying to write a procedure (procedure A) that will 1) check if another procedure (procedure B) exists 2) if that procedure does not exist create it hardcoding the date on which is first run 3) and resave the template then run procedure B 4) if procedure B exists, run procedure B Specifically, I am trying to write an AutoExec or AutoNew procedure that notes the current date the first time it is run and saves it in the code (rather than as a doc variable or a doc property).

    - Clipboard Woes Word 2000 I have a macro that passes data to and from the clipboard. I have a problem in that the contents of the clipboard seem to be changing unexpectedly. In the code below I've marked the lines where the change seems to happen. If I put a watch on cbLocate and step through the code, it contains one value the first time CheckClipboard is run, and a different value the second time CheckClipboard runs. The subroutines below are shown in their entirety. **************** Sub RemoveLocate() SelectLocate <<< This calls a subroutine that just selects text in the document. Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend > CheckClipboard > Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 <<< This command seems to change the clipboard contents. > CheckClipboard NextLocate <<< This calls a subroutine that goes to the next block of text in the document. End Sub Sub CheckClipboard() ReadFromClipboard If InStr(1, cbLocate, "LOCATED RECORD NOTIFICATION", vbBinaryCompare) Or _ InStr(1, cbLocate, "$L", vbBinaryCompare) Then PasteLocate End If End Sub Sub ReadFromClipboard() Set cbValue = New DataObject cbValue.GetFromClipboard cbLocate = Trim(cbValue.GetText) End Sub **************** As indicated above, it seems to be the Selection.Delete command that is changing the clipboard contents. This makes a certain amount of sense if the block of text is being cut from the document. Is there a way to delete blocks of text without the data landing on the clipboard? Is there something about the clipboard that I don't understand that might be causing this problem, like maybe the clipboard is storing multiple blocks of text and my code isn't handling that properly? Also, I understand that data objects can hold multiple pieces of information. Could the data object be the problem? I apologize if this is all too vague, but I thought that trying to post my complete set of macros, or explain the fine details of everything that I'm doing, would be too confusing, so I've tried to boil it down to the section of code where I'm seeing the problem (although, I know this might just be a symptom, and the real problem might be elsewhere in my code). Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. --Tom Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43618

    - Faster Calculation Needed I'm having a speed issue that I think could be eliminated with a little more knowledge. I am creating a template form in Microsoft Word with 28 dollar amounts. Each dollar amount is split into two text form fields (one for the dollar portion of the amount and the other for the cents portion of the dollar amount). I have set the name of each field (DollarAmt_01 to DollarAmt_28 and CentsAmt_01 to CentsAmt_28). I have also created a macro that gets run when the focus exits the text form field for both the dollar and cents fields. This macro cycles through each dollar amount adding them up. Then it cycles through the cents amount, adding them up, multiplying them by 0.01 and adding the result to the dollar amount total. Here's a snippet of my code for the macro: Sub CalcDepositTicketTotals() Dim dollarTotal, centsTotal As Double dollarTotal = 0 dollarTotal = dollarTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("DollarAmt_01").Result) dollarTotal = dollarTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("DollarAmt_02").Result) .. dollarTotal = dollarTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("DollarAmt_28").Result) centsTotal = 0 centsTotal = centsTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("CentsAmt_01").Result) centsTotal = centsTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("CentsAmt_02").Result) .. centsTotal = centsTotal + Val(ActiveDocument.FormFields("CentsAmt_28").Result) centsTotal = centsTotal * 0.01 dollarTotal = dollarTotal + centsTotal ' US Dollar Amount ActiveDocument.FormFields("USD_Total").Result = Str(dollarTotal) End Sub ===================== I'm sure that I am going about this the wrong way because this is taking way too long to process (about 16-18 seconds). Certainly, you can tell that I am not experienced with programming in Word. Any suggestions on what I can do to speed things up? Thanks!

    - Obtaining multiple values from registry I want to determine the names of users on a particular computer that are using Word. I have discovered that about the only place one might look is in: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc FolderPaths" I can obtain the value of a known user (let's say me, Roy) by this formula aName = System.PrivateProfileString("", _ "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc FolderPaths", "Roy") (the above actually gives me much more than I need--its the full path to the MyDocs folder under my settings, but I can parse the extraneous stuff out.) I would like to know if there is a routine that would identify each of the users in that registry item, something along the lines of: For Each oUser in Registry aName = System.PrivateProfileString("", _ "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc FolderPaths", oUser) Any ideas as to how this might be done would be greatly appreciated.

Sub MAIN() Dim Document as Document Dim temp00 As Long Dim thedocs(145) As String thedocs(0) = "c:\thedoc000.doc" ' Initialization of thedocs(1-144) removed for brevity thedocs(145) = "c:\thedoc145.doc" For temp00 = 0 to UBound(thedocs) Set Document = GetObject(thedocs(temp00)) Set Document = Nothing Next temp00 End Sub Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43555

    - Passing value to word Hi I am trying to open a word document and pass a value to a public variable declared in word document, from my vb.net app. The code is given at the end. The problem is that I can not access either the variable or a sub who (both declared as public) in word to accomplish the above. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Regards WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Add("C:\Fax03.dot") With WordDoc .Caller = WordEventHandler '<-This variable is not visible .setcaller(WordEventHandler) '<- and so is this sub WordApp.Activate() End With In word template Fax03.dot, in a module, I have the following; Public Caller As EventHelper.EventHelper Public Sub SetCaller(x As EventHelper.EventHelper) Caller = x End Sub Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43541

    - Word 2003 new document on top Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem! I have an application that pops up a new document next to an existing document, critiquing the existing one. I started with Word '97, made modifications to make it work in Word 2000 when that came out and likewise when Word XP came out. Works fine in those releases. The critique is displayed on top (overlaps) of the document being analyzed. In Word 2000 and greater, I use Word.Application.Visible = False to hide the processing then Word.Application.Visible = True to display the Word Docs after the critique is prepared. In Word 2003, sometimes the document comes up on top of the critique. Other times, it works just fine (critique on top). This is confusing for the user. I use ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Caption = "Critique" I've tried: Windows("Critique").Activate ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Activate ActiveDocument.Activate Documents("Critique").Activate Windows("Critique").SetFocus 'Word XP & 03 in assorted orders to no avail. I've also tried grabbing the document number of the critique to setfocus and activate with no consistent luck. This problem appears to be a bug introduced in Word 2003. Any ideas would be very much appreciated. I've searched high and low Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43533

    - Insert several pictures into one document Hello, I could really use some help. I am trying to create a document that will allow my Mother-in-law to insert several pictures in a Word document. The number of pictures range from 3 to 5 and beside each picture she likes to type some notes. I am trying unsuccessfully to create a macro that will ask how many pictures she would like to insert into the document then space out the pictures so that they are evenly spaced on the document. I thought maybe I should do a table so if there are three pictures the table would be 2 columns and 3 rows. If there are 4 pictures there would be 2 columns and 4 rows and if there are 5 pictures there would be 2 columns and 5 rows. The pictures would be on one side and the words on the other side. One of the problems I am running into is the spacing. How do you space it out so it's evenly spaced between the top and bottom and left and right of the document? The next problem is how do I set up the macro to put the pictures into the cells in the table? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lee Tag: Name of current OpenDirectory Tag: 43532

    - Pass variables from Outlook to Word I am calling a word macro from an Outlook macro, and want to pass a couple of variables as shown below. I think the variables need to be defined inside the Outlook function, as the variables are generated from the date the e-mail message was created. I am calling it with a "message rule". Not sure what methods are available; could I call the macro directly and pass the variables directly; or write the variables to a text document, call the word macro, and have it check the document? Any suggestions would be welcome. Matthew Complete Outlook code below. Variables I want to pass are Folder and fName. Sub SaveAttachment(Item As Outlook.MailItem) On Error GoTo GetAttachments_err 'MsgBox "Script is running. " & Item.SenderName Dim ns As NameSpace Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder 'Dim Item As Object Dim Atmt As Attachment Dim FileName As String Dim Folder As String Dim fName As String Dim i As Integer Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI") Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) Set fName = Format(Item.CreationTime, "yyyy mm dd") & Right(Atmt.FileName, 4) i = 0 If Item.SenderName = "Operator Account" Then Set Folder = "Wood Magazine\" ElseIf Item.SenderName = "Lisa Stram" Then Set Folder = "CWB\" ElseIf Item.SenderName = "LEADlink" Then Set Folder = "American Woodworker\" 'ElseIf Item.SenderName = "Alycia Schulz" Then 'Folder = "Alycia Schulz\" Else MsgBox "You need to install user " & Item.SenderName Set Folder = "" End If For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments ' This path must exist! FileName = "C:\My Documents\Sales Leads\" & Folder & fName Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName i = i + 1 Next Atmt MsgBox "Script has run." & vbCrLf & "I found " & i & " attached files.", vbInformation, "Message" Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") ' Create a new, empty document.

Is there any way in VBA (Office 2000) to learn the name of the current
directory/folder?

I know how to change the current directory using the command
ChangeFileOpenDirectory

And I know how to see the current default folder, by examining

temp = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath)

But neither one does what I want.

Say that my default folder is "C:\My Documents", but I have changed
the current directory from the default by "manually" opening a file in
a directory other than the default.

Can a macro obtain and do something with the name of this new folder?
