    - Best practice suggestion. Please We are small company manufacturing some devices. And each client of us requires different data report of word, e.g. different title, sequence of data, some may need table and others want them in a list. We are overwhelmed by this kind of programming. Is there any good practice to let our customers define their own template, then make some marks in the document. Then our software system can find those marks and replace them with actual data? So what's the best practice? Using bookmark? special text patterns? or Field? We don't really have much experience in VBA. Thanks. Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100608

    - Basic text file edit How can I build a macro to run on the command-line to do a simple editing of a text file with a regular pattern to it? I want to change the text file contents of: 200705230822 200705231341 200705230904 to end up as: 052320070822 052320071341 052320070904 Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100601

    - Need to search for criteria that doesn't exist A simple problem. I can easily define Search criteria to find the first occurence of text formatted as wdEnglishUS (or any other language, for that matter). What I need to be able to do is define a Search that finds the first text that is NOT wdEnglishUS. I can brute force it by Replacing all wdEnglishUS text with Highlight, conducting a second Search for Not Highlight (thereby identifying the text that is NOT wdEnglishUS), followed by a third Replace to remove the Highlighted text. The problem with this approach, of course, is that if there was anything already Highlighted before I began, it will be lost when I'm done. Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted. david Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100600

    - Height or linecount of a cell? This is a legal document application. In a row 1 of a table, cell 1 has a variable amount of text, the number of lines may be determined by any combination of paragraphs, linefeeds, or text wrapping. In cell two, I want to use VBA to insert a series of right-parens and paras, i.e. ")" & vbNewLine, until the height of cell two (or number of lines in cell two) is equal to the original height (or number of lines) in cell one. I've caught tantalizing snippets in various posts, but still have no way to determine the acutual height of a row or cell, or the number of lines in a cell or selection. Can anyone help?

    - Delete everything within a range I am trying to delete everything within a range. Currently I am mostly concerned about text and tables, but will eventually need to include drawing objects and other such items. I can delete the text by setting the Range.Text property to the empty string, but how can I remove the tables. If I use the Range.Tables property, I get the tables inside the range in most situations, but if the range is inside of a table I get the outer table, resulting in me deleting much more than I want to. Can someone please help me with a method to delete everything from within a range, or at least delete all tables within a range, without deleting parent tables of a range.

    - A recorded macros to assign style "Normal" doesn't work I have created new style "Case Cite" as applying Italics. I recorded two new macros to apply "Case Cite" and "Emphasis" to selected text; both macros select styles from the tool-bar, type in the style name, and end with "Enter." I created new macro buttons for each. They all work as expected. I then wanted to be able to return text that I'd styled as "Case Cite" or "Emphasis" to "Normal" text. I recorded a similar macro to reapply "Normal" to the styled text. But this recorded macro results in the text being styled "Case Cite + Normal" or Emphasis + Normal" rather than merely "Normal." When I enter the same routine manually, it generates the expected "Normal" style. I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions or explanations. Very respectfully, Larry Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100543

    - Delete tables within a bookmark I am trying to delete everything within a bookmark. I can delete the text by setting the text property of the bookmark's range to an empty string. This, however, doesn't remove the tables. If I use the Tables property of the range and iterate through to delete them, it works to delete all the tables inside, but only if the range is not entirely inside of a table. If a range is inside of a table, the Tables property returns that parent table and it gets deleted instead. Does anyone know how to get the tables that are inside of a range, without getting the table that the range is inside of. Even better would be a mechanism to delete everything within a Range, including text, tables, drawing objects, etc., but I have pretty much given up on that approach and labeled it impossible without iterating through each of these individually..

    - Last page _ BLANK I have problem with this macro: Dim i As Long i = 5 Dim source As Document, target As Document Set source = ActiveDocument Set target = Documents.Add target.Range.FormattedText = source.Sections(i).Range.FormattedText After user click last button of user form just appropriate section of active document is shown. This is perfect however problem is that it always inserts one empty page at the end of section. I thought it is problem with formatting of text but it is plenty of place at the end of page for text (so I think problem is not with page or section brake).

    - How to hide source document? Hi. I am trying to create form for submission of applications where all used forms are in one document in separate sections. After user open template of this document macro asks him through UserForms what kind of application is he asking for. Then he is asked to fill in the appropriate boxes in UserForms and at the end only filed section is shown. Problem for me is that with filled form also template document stays open. I tried to write macro for closing source template document: ActiveDcument.Close but since template is actually active document last part of my macro: Dim i As Long i = 5 Dim source As Document, target As Document Set source = ActiveDocument Set target = Documents.Add target.Range.FormattedText = source.Sections(i).Range.FormattedText did not work because active document was no longer open then. How could I solve this problem? I want user to see just UserForms and at the end just part of the document he will print. Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100498

    - Finding and converting text to hyperlink with VBA Greetings from sunny Sweden, I have a macro that converts a SGML-style (custom formatted) plain text file to a word document with proper formatting (headers, styles etc.) but I cannot figure out how to convert the links. How can I use the macro to locate "tagged" (hyper-)links and convert them to working hyperlinks? This is how it looks like: --- Some text here. Some more text. Click here to view the PDF: <LINK>FileName.PDF</LINK> Even more text. --- I want the "tags" to be removed and the text FileName.PDF to remain, but as a functional (clickable) link to the PDF file. I know that there is a search-and-replace method that can extract substrings from strings (have used it for style control) but can't make it happen with the link creation. Any coding hints would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jon Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100475

    - Form field frustration I am having a couple of issues programmatically accessing form fields. I have assigned â??bookmarkâ?? names to these fields and here is how I can use VBA to see what has been entered in the field. Dim FieldText as string FieldText = Word.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LastName").Range.Text The problems : A) I cannot detect when the field is empty B) Empty fields have text value of 5 spaces, but return FALSE when compared to being equal to 5 spaces C) Trim seemingly has no effect, as â??trim(FormField)â?? still = FormField = 5 spaces D) Any attempt to erase the text in a form field by setting = â??â?? erases the form field, setting equal to 5 spaces also does not work. I need to be able to detect an empty form field, and be able to erase text in form fields. Any ideas? Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100381

    - Insert superscripted ordinal date - Word 2000 ?? Hi all :) I'm trying to create a macro that inserts the current date to replace the selected text (not as a field). ------------------ Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="dd MMMM yyyy", InsertAsField:= False, DateLanguage:=wdEnglishUK, CalendarType:=wdCalendarWestern, InsertAsFullWidth:=False ------------------ is easy enough and gives me the date as 18 May 2007 but I need to insert it as 18th May 2007 with the ordinal (st,nd,rd) in superscript. I think that it's something to do with \* ordinal but I can't for the life of me work out how the syntax goes. And I can't even begin to guess how to do the superscripting!

    - PrintDate from Protected document doesn't work I have the following problem with PrintDate which appears only in Word 2000 In Word 2003 everything works OK. My users unfortunately use Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1) 1) Users demand is that the footer contains PrintDate field 2) Second demand is that when approved, document is protected against writing with password . I protect document programmatically with following code Const wdAllowOnlyComments=1 WordObj.ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyComments, False, "PASSWORD" 3) PROBLEM IS FOLLOWING: After protecting the document, PrintDate, after document has been printed out, doesnâ??t work any more It is empty = 00.00.00000. I also found out that the same problem with PrintDate appears also if I do everything manually in Word so probably this is a Bug or something. Can someone give me an advice what to do that PrintDate will work in Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1). Maybe there is fix for this or some workaround? Thank you Lojze Tag: OptionButton Object Tag: 100373

Michelle:

Can you describe your application in more detail? As it is, I'm guessing
that you place a single formfield option button at the top of each column.
When the user selects one of these buttons you seem to want to delete the
other formfields. What happens to their columns? Are they still there?
