    - Problems with Template I am trying to take a form (which has been saved as a template and uses checkboxes and textboxes from the forms toolbar) and put it in a folder on our Network so different users can access the form. I would prefer that if one user is in the form, it will not allow other users to make changes until the form is saved and closed. The form has various MAIN group headers with a checkbox and my programming allows the user to check this main group header and it will check everything under that group (I did this with Macro's). When I email the form to other users for testing, it opens it with the title Document1 and will not execute the code (The template is saved as ProjectTemplate and I have a document that is saved as ProjectDocument). I need to know how I can put this form in a network folder so that when myself or any user opens it, it will have the changes made from the previous user. Do I need to put the template and the document in the folder? Any help is greatly appreciated. Another side note, when I open the template or the document, it asks me if I want to enable macros and I click yes. Also, I am on an XP operating system with a newer version of Word and some of the other people I have emailed the document to for testing are still on '98 machines. Could this be part of the problem?

    - Pictures are cut when they are inserted in the word document. Hello, I have a problem in programming word VBA. I want to insert graphs from the clipboard into a word document at all the positions where '[[Graph]]' is written. The document contains tables and has a layout with two text columns. At some positions in the document, a strange thing happens when I try to paste the graph there: I can see only the lower fourth of the picture when I format it "in line with text", but if I switch to the format "before text", than the whole graph is visible. Can anybody help me? Thanks Markus Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82139

    - Adding complex cross-reference Hi, in my documents I need to add quite a lot of cross-references. They also need to be of the type which will say " 3.4.13 How to kill a hamster, p. 49". Currently the only way for me to do this is to use my keyboard shortcut to bring up the corss reference window, select the paragraph and then use the dropdown menu 3 times to add the correct reference fields. This is very manual process, but I have not been able to automate it any more. I would think that this would be a standard requirement when writing long and complex documents. Does anybody have any suggestions how it could be made easier? Thanks, R. Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82136

    - Call an addin command from a macro? I have a commercial addin that creates bibliographies (Thomson's EndNote). It loads a .WLL and adds a group of commands under Tools. It has a .DOT file that provides a toolbar with the same commands. Can I call one of these commands from a macro? I tried selecting the command while recording a macro, but nothing gets recorded. The commands do not appear under the Commands tab of the Customize dialog. The toolbar button has an identifying name. Can I use that somehow? Thanks for any leads.

    - Mailmerge from excel I am trying to create a mailmerge in excel with the click of a button. When the button is clicked it opens word sucessfully. Sub OpenWord() Dim wdApp As Object Dim wdDoc As Object Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.application") Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open _ (Filename:="C:\Documents and Settings\steve\My Documents\MyTestDoc.doc") wdDoc.Close savechanges:=False Set wdDoc = Nothing wdApp.Quit Set wdApp = Nothing End Sub The code I have placed in Word gives me an error (Ambiguous selection) at the second line .Destination=wdsendToPrinter. Private Sub Document_Open() With ActiveDocument.mailmerge .Destination = wdSendToPrinter .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=False End With End Sub I'm making the assumption (new to VBA in excel and word) that the document is not active but the spreadsheet is and therefore will not print. Not sure how to solve this. If anyone can give me any assistance it would be very much appreciated. Steve Walker Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82111

    - Converting word doc with macro to html I have a word doc that has a series of tasks and then a check box after each question for the user to 'check' when they have performed the task. At the top of the page is a button with a macro attached that simply 'unchecks' all the checkboxes when pressed. What I really want to do is convert it to html so I can have it on a website (i know I could put the word doc there but html loads quicker), but when I 'save as web page' it loses the check boxes and macro. Anyone know how I could create the html? Thanks. Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82103

    - Excel to VB Hi I have a simple spreadsheet that needs to be updated by more than 10 people Simultaneously. But this is not possible as the spreadsheet becomes locked when one person has it open. My first idea was to create a front end with a Microsoft database to store all records. But they do not have Microsft Access on their server. Now I am thinking of creating a vb front end application. This will include a few input boxes and an update command button which, will update the excel sheet with the latest data. I am 19 and new to programming. I really need to know what is the best way to go about this and few tips on how to code it. Many thanks Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82080

    - How To Select a Row Within a Nested Table Programatically? Hi, Everyone. I'm dealing with a table, which has a nested table in each row of column 9. What I would like to do is to take a specifc row of this nested table, and copy that row into column 10. My problem is I can't get the code right to refer to a specific row within this nested table. Here's my code: Dim mtable As Range Set mtable = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Range mtable.Rows(5).Cells(9).Select My problem is that this code selects the entire nested table, rather than a row within the nested table. Can anyone set me straight? Thanks! Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82035

    - Word should include a function for marking essays As a university lecturer, I feel that word should include a function similar to the reviewing function to enable students to submit essays by e-mail attachment as a word document. This would make the marking process easier and quicker, and enable students to get a better standard of feedback. The function should include capacities to: add comments both in the margins and at the end of the document; show/hide/remove comments added by individual markers; show/hide/remove changes made to the document eg changes to punctuation or spelling; add a provisional/final mark in a way similar to the way footnotes/endnotes are added. There are far more things such a function could do, but at root it would be very similar to the reviewing function already available in word, and therefore it wouldn't be too difficult to create such a function. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - MS Engineers: Word 2003 Find/Change Automation from Excel 2003 cra This is a repost from an earlier post in the Excel->Programming forum. No one has any ideas how to solve this over there. Since posting over there, however, I have also tried to run this code as a Macro from within Powerpoint 2003, and I get the same results but a different error: "Method 'replacement' of object 'Find' failed.": Yes, it crashes PowerPoint 2003, just like Excel 2003, so it must be Word's automation, type library or objects, or something... Here's the post: I just upgraded to Office Professional 2003 from Office Professional XP. The following code, when executed, completely and irrevocably crashes Microsoft Excel 2003 at the line <.Text = "^pDescription">. It worked just find in Microsoft Excel XP. It even asks to send a report to Microsoft. Every time. Easily reproducible. I have updated to all service packs/patches, etc., too. Also, the line <Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting> gives a "Automation error: the procedure number is out of range" error, which it didn't do before in Excel 2003. What the heck happened between the two versions? Now my code has completely blown up!!! Any ideas????? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as we have to get this program up and running for production! Thanks!!! Public Sub Test() Dim appWord As Word.Application Set appWord = New Word.Application appWord.Documents.Add appWord.Selection.Find.ClearFormatting appWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With appWord.Selection.Find .Text = "^pDescription" .Replacement.Text = "-----" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With appwordSelection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll appWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\TEST.DOC" appWord.ActiveDocument.Close appWord.Quit Set appWord = Nothing End Sub Any ideas? Thanks in advanced? Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 82003

    - Why is loop not moving forward? This loop works - but it stays in one place and doesn't move forward through the document. What simple silly thing have I forgotten? With doc.Content.Find .ClearFormatting .Style = "TOCpageref" .Wrap = wdFindContinue Do While .Execute(Forward:=True, _ Format:=True) = True Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart Set fldPgNo = doc.Fields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _ Type:=wdFieldPage) strPgNo = fldPgNo.Result fldPgNo.Delete MsgBox strPgNo Loop End With Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS?

    - Good idea or bad? I'm thinking of some action I'd like to perform in a report document, and it would be really convenient to use a single "hot key" for each of them. This would be like running once through the document performing one of six different actions. Maybe the function keys, since they wouldn't be used for much of anything else during these operations. Would it be a good idea or not to run a macro which captures a specific keystroke and temporarily changes the response, returning the normal function on macro close? Maybe controlled by a modeless UserForm, as a visual reminder the macro is still running? What would be the pitfalls? Ed Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS? Tag: 81995

    - Menu commands appear differently on different computers I've created a Word 2003 template with a custom menu command that contains styles (the STYLES menu), and it appears between the Edit and View commands. I've tested it on three different systems, and it worked correctly. However, when others install and open it, the menu items are inconsistent - some people do not see the STYLES menu; others see the STYLES, but not the Edit menu; and still others do not see either. (All correct styles appear in the Style drop-down and right-pane list, so it's clear that part of the template is functioning correctly.) Any ideas about what could be causing the inconsistencies?

    - Word counting w/o readabilityStatistics Hello everyone Im trying to count the number of words in a document. And the code below (taken off a web page somewhere)does a fine job showing the result live, as long as I use it for english language text and perhaps many others. Unfortunately i use a different language module (Asian). the problem occurs with the "readabilitystatistics" and I find that in my document that function of Word is dimmed. Could someone help me to incorporate a line of code to the following that would calculate the number of words without using "readabilityStatistics(1).value". Sub AutoExec() NumberOfWords End Sub Sub NumberOfWords() Dim lngWords As Long Dim myRange As Range With Word.Application If .Windows.Count > 0 Then Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content lngWords = myRange.ReadabilityStatistics(1).Value .Caption = Format(lngWords, "##,##0") & " words - Microsoft Word" Else .Caption = "Microsoft Word" End If .OnTime Now + TimeValue(OnTm(lngWords)), "NumberOfWords" End With End Sub Private Function OnTm(ByVal lngWd As Long) As String Select Case lngWd \ 1000 Case 0 To 10 OnTm = "00:00:01" Case 11 To 20 OnTm = "00:00:05" Case 21 To 30 OnTm = "00:00:10" Case 31 To 40 OnTm = "00:00:15" Case Else OnTm = "00:00:20" End Select End Function ------------ Any help in the right direction would be appreciated thanx ahmed Tag: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE OPEN MY E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS?

When I sent an attachment only half of the people on my list can open it. Is
there an alternate way to send attachments so other systems can open them?

They should all be able to open it. What sort of attachment is it? Is it
one that Outlook would block because of the possibility of viruses? What
sort of error do you get?

If your attachment is a Word document, only users with Word will be able to
open it. And many corporate networks will turf your attachment if it
contains any macro code.
