    - Searching for text in all the documents in a folder and its subfolders I have a couple of macros that can run a macro in all the documents in a folder. But I want to do something that those macros can't handle. I want to do a Find (not a replace, just a find) that will stop at each occurrence of the found text in all the documents in a folder (and optionally its subfolders). This is difficult because the code in the below macro to close the current document and move on to the next document must not run until all the searched-for strings in the first document are found. In the below code, I've commented out the Close Document code. Normally, if I do a Windows Find for the documents that contain the text, I still have to open each document individually and search again for the text. I want to make it all one continuous search, opening a document, stopping at each instance of the found text as I repeat the command, and then when there are no more to be found in that document, closing it and opening the next document. Can that be done? Thanks, Larry Dim sFileName As String Dim sFolder As String 'Replace with your own foldername sFolder = "C:\Documents\Tests\" sFileName = Dir(sFolder & "*.doc") While sFileName <> "" Documents.Open (sFolder & sFileName) 'run macro Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "powerful" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .MatchCase = False End With Selection.Find.Execute ' commented this line out.

    - "property not available" error in macro Hey there, I wrote a macro to prompt for the location of a few pictures using wdDialogFileOpen and insert them into a Word document. It works great, but now the user is opening this document in an application that imbeds Word as an OLE object. Now I get run-time error '4605': This method or property is not available because this document is in another application." The code snippet is below; it gives me the error on the first (With Dialogs) line: With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen) .Name = "*.jpg; *.gif; *.bmp" If .Display Then strFileName = CStr(Trim(WordBasic.FilenameInfo(.Name, 1) & "")) Else strFileName = "" End If End With Any suggesstions on how to return control or focus to the document so I can instantiate the "open dialog" window?

    - Mouse Pointers One of the properties options for a command button is a great big list of different types of mouse pointers that will display when the cursor is run over the button. As luck would have it, the one that I want (the "hand" -- or maybe better, the "finger" -- pointer finger, that is) isn't in the list. As ubiquitous as the finger is in daily operation, I am curious (1) why it's not one of the choices and (2) can I still call it via "Custom Pointer (#99). Thanks, Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46392

    - Word App which is compatible with both Word 2003 and Xp Hello: I am working in VB.Net 2003. My company is in the process of making a program which will interact with the users version of Word on their machine (basically open a document, replace some characters, etc...). Currently I have made my solution work with Word 2003. I am now trying to make it work with Word XP. I guess the first question I 'd like to ask is if it is even possible to make one solution which will use the correct Dll's which coincide with their version of word? I have totally redone the app and used only the XP dll's (office.dll and word.dll) and it works. But i really dont want to have 2 versions of my code due to the fact that it will be much more difficult to maintain. I do have the office tools for visual studio 2003. If anyone has some answers, suggestions or even examples, they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Brian Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46390

    - How to make a variable persistent? Hi, Does anyone know how to make a variable persistent over a long time? I have a macro that manipulates words that are selected in a document. Therefore I retrieve (from the registry or an ini file) the name of a database file and store this name into a variable. I prefer to do this only once, when the macro is initiated/started for the first time, rather that retrieving the database name each time a word is manipulated. Any idea how I could achieve this? How I can keep my macro "alive" while no words are selected or manipulated? The macro's are written only in "Sub" procedures, there are no functions and no forms. Kind regards, ANDy Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46382

    - Macros running much slower than before I have a very large and complex library of macros which I developed largely under Word 2000 and Windows 2000 on a computer with a 733MHz Pentium 3. I'm now running them under Word 2002 and Windows XP on a laptop computer with a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4. I find that certain operations run much slower on the new machine. "Much slower" means that a macro which used to display its first dialog box in a second or less now typically takes 20 or 30 seconds to display it. Much of the slowness (but not all of it) seems to be associated with some type of initialization. That is, the second time I run a macro it starts much more quickly than the first time, although still not as quickly as it did on the old machine. The machines have the same amount of RAM (512MB). I can't identify any differences that might account for this problem except that since the new machine is portable, it has a slower disk, and its CPU might have a smaller cache. I have a hard time believing that either of these factors accounts for the drop in performance. I have watched the laptop computer's disk activity light while these macros are starting, and it seems to be no more busy than when the computer is idle. What might be the problem here? How can I identify it? . Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46369

    - Msworld9.old ok but not Mso9.dll Hello everybody, (particular Tom) For Tom : I have tested the problem with an unprotected version of the document (I have sent it to my customer), and it's effectively a compilation error because of Mso9.dll missed. For Everybody, I explain the problem : I write macros VBA on Word 2000 and in a PC full XP (Office XP Pro, Win XP...) in one of my customer, it doesn't works because of dll missed whitch is finaly Mso9.dll. If I check the VBA references in this document in my configuration (Office 2000, W98) I see 4 dll referenced : VBA, OLE Automation, Mso9.dll and msword9.olb. Those references are the default references... In one of my customers whitch has Office XP, Mso9.dll and msword9.olb don't exist => Compilation error... because Mso9.dll is missed (only it). The code is protected so he can't change the references. What can I do to pass this problem and to make macros whitch works on the 2 systems ? A solution would be to make 2 files : 1 for Word 2000 and 1 for Word XP but it's not good to maintain So, Is there a service pack whitch fix this problem or a method to "prepar" the VBA environment ? Thanks for your answer. Francois Ps : sorry for the mistakes :-) Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46365

I have noticed that if my selection is in a nested table, then Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage) seems to return the distance from the top of the inner table, and not the top of the page as wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage.

    - return the text from a numbered title (list) Hello, I would like to be able to *easily* retrieve the text from a numbered list paragraph (title), which is also a bookmark. E.g. from the following line 2.3.1 Dummy title I would like to retrieve "Dummy title". The bookmark would contain [Dummy title]. This seems rather simple by using something like: Dim bm As Bookmark For Each bm In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks Debug.Print bm.Name, bm.Range.Text Next However, the paragraph might contain a manual page break (because a user has entered one), which causes the bookmark to start just before this manual page break. This, of course, will make the bm.range.text property also return the page break (which i don't want). In the debug screen it's visualised as a little square, but when the string is pasted somewhere in word, it does contain the pagebreak. Does anybody knows how to *easily* get just the text? Ward Ps: I've found a workaround to get what i want (see below), but it's way to complicated. I figure it should be possible to do it more simple. 'Check if the paragraph is preceded by a 'manual page break 'because this should be removed from the range If Left(Rng.Paragraphs(1).Range, 1) = Chr$(12) Then If mDoDebug Then Debug.Print "Pagebreak before" Rng.SetRange Start:=Rng.Start + 1, End:=Rng.End End If 'Do not include 'enter' at the end of the line Rng.SetRange Start:=Rng.Start, End:=Rng.End - 1 'save range for later handling Set mTargetParRange = Rng 'Return header/paragraph text RtrnParagraphText = Trim(Rng.Text) Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46275

    - Need some sort of AutoExec (maybe) Apologies if there's a better group I could post to. Word2000 + Win2000 or XP I have a couple of mail merge documents that are recreations of some forms from our company. Each contain some checkboxes. I employed the method using AutoText/Macrobutton outlined by several posts I've seen to toggle those checkboxes with my mouse -- with a couple of twists. In order to use a single mouse click AND have the ability to use the method on a file that I've created via 'Merge to new document', I have to not only had to Attach the template to each of the two documents, but Add the template to make it global and add some code to the template's ThisDocument/Open routine to fire the template when I open either parent or merged document and make single clicking work. Here are the routines for that template as they stand. ThisDocument: Private Sub Document_Open() AddIns("C:\data\word\CheckBox.dot").Installed = True Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1 End Sub ChkBox Module Subs: Sub CheckIt() ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Checked Box").Insert Where:=Selection.Range End Sub Sub UncheckIt() ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Unchecked Box").Insert Where:=Selection.Range End Sub Everything works exactly as desired, so I guess I shouldn't complain, but there is one tiny cosmetic flaw. When I open the menu Insert | AutoText, I see TWO entries each for 'Checked Box' and 'Unchecked Box'. Aargh!!! I wrestled all weekend to adjust the file placement and code to both load the template and fire the Document_Open routine so I could eliminate the need to Attach the template to each file and still have the ability to single click in all files and reduce the AutoText entries to a single instance. No matter what I tried, there was always one piece of the puzzle missing. Any help? I want to have my cake and eat it too!! One caveat: I want the template to remain in C:\Data\Word for two reasons: 1) I backup this folder to two other machines daily and 2) since the AddIns() line requires the full path, if I placed it in Word\Startup, that's a looong path and unique for each machine. -- David Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46250

    - PageSetup object: changing papersize changes also orientation?! Hi everybody I have a problem with a document template. The orientation of my template is set to landscape. When users opens the template, the code will check the preferred papersize from users settings (I'm having my own configuration utility for templates to set all defaults like interface language, papersize etc.). In previous Word version (97 and 2000) changing papersize had no effect to the page orientation but now in Word 2002 when I'm changing the size through code i.e. from European A4 to US Letter, Word also changes the orientation of the page from landscape to portrait! If I do the same thing manually from File/Page setup menu, orientation does not change The next problem is, that I cannot change the orientation programmatically back to landscape, because there is a bug in Word. An article in knowledgebase says (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;275966) ----------------------------------------------- "In Microsoft Word 2000, when you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro that accesses the PageSetup object from the Document object or the Section object, you receive the following error message: Run time error '4605'.

This problem can occur if all of the following conditions are true: Your document contains a frame (not to be confused with an HTML frame or a frame page) -and The frame contains a table -and The frame is anchored to the first paragraph in the document -and You run a Visual Basic for Applications macro from Word, accessing the PageSetup object from the Document object or the Section objec ------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately my case meets all these conditions. The same article says, that this problem is corrected in Word 2002. This is not true, because I'm having the same problem in Word 2002. In Word 2000 this bug did not cause any harm in my template, because changing the papersize did not have any effects to orientation. Does anyone have solution or hint for this Regards E.

    - Can't reference a .dot via code Hi I'm trying to reference in a .dot template file with code ('code.dot') into another template file ('test01.dot'). I use this code (both files are in the same directory): test01.dot [code] Private Sub Document_New() Dim msgBoxen As Variant ThisDocument.VBProject.References.AddFromFile Templates(1).Path & "\code.dot" 'referencing the code file msgBoxen = MsgBox(Templates(1).Path & "\code.dot is the path", vbCritical) 'Debug code to show the path Test 'Trying to call a sub from the reference file End Sub [/code] code.dot [code] Public Sub Test() Dim msgBoxen As Variant msgBoxen = msgBox("Hello", vbCritical) End Sub [/code] When I use the test01 template i get this error: Compile error: Sub or Function not defined Do I have to activate the reference code in some way? When I reference the code via Tools -> Reference it works fine. I have also tried to use the absolute file path in the reference code, but it still dont work. What have I done wrong? Ps I have tried to repy with this question in a previous thread but it didn't work, so I'm sorry to have to create a new one. :/ Ds Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46244

    - processing multiple word files to save as html Is there a way I can open multiple Word documents in a folder (C:\WordDocs\input, for example), save them as Compact HTML (I've downloaded MSFilter.dot), then save the resulting HTML files in a different folder (C:\WordDocs\output, for example)? I tried using the Batch Conversion Wizard (File > New, then "Other Documents" tab, then selecting "Batch Conversion Wizard, but I don't have access to it. Plus I'm on a network, and don't know if/when I can get this feature installed, so finding an alternative is probably going to be my fastest solution. Thanks. Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46237

    - Envelope objects Feedsource Property Hi All, I am working with Word's Envelope object and I've found some bizarre behavior. This is totally dependent on the print driver. When you query a print driver using the API call getdevicecaps it returns printer tray ids as longs. I can then set the Envelope.feedsource = to one of these tray id's. All is good in the world, until. If the print driver returns anything above a number 15, setting this property will fail. Now for the bizarre part. If you query this property for the default tray and it happens to be above 15 it won't fail. So I have a situation where the property = 257 and when I try to set it to 257 I get a message telling me that the parameter is outside of acceptable limits. Anybody else run into such a beast?

    - merging pdf files trough Word VBA -> possible? Hello, I'm developing an Word add-in the will create one Word document from several Word documents. This file will then by converted (printed) to a pdf using PdfWriter. No problem with this first part. However, I would like the add-in to append some existing pdf's to this final pdf. So the whole operation would result in one (large) pdf file that originates from a couple of word files and a couple of existing pdf files. I'm not sure that this (appending extra pdf's) is possible through Word VBA. Does anybody has any idea about this? thanks in advance, Ward Tag: Office Assistant Tag: 46230
