    - need macro to prompt user for initials & use if statement to plug in Hi, I'm a former Wordperfect user. this was easy to do in WP, but I need to do it in Word 2003. Inside the letterhead template (probably using AutoNew?) I need the macro to 1. prompt user for the attorney's initials 2. Then use an if statement to go to bookmarks and fill in fields based on the initials. For example, the user types in 'abc'. the macro presumably would use some sort of 'if' statement: If variable 'initials' equals 'abc' then go bookmark 'name' and type 'Andrew B. Cooper.' then go to bookmark 'email' and type 'abcooper@company.com' However, if the user types in 'def', the macro would go to the 'name' bookmark and type Donna E. Foxx and then go to the bookmark 'email' and type 'defoxx@company.com' Many thanks for any assistance! Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113232

    - Building a WOrd Document I have done all of my VBA programming from Excel. Now I haev a task in Word and feel like a fish out of water! Point me in the right direction(s), please. I have a document which goes on for several pages. Let's call them "Rules 1-30" with each rule a paragraph or two. What I'd like to do is present a dialog which prompts the user to select which rules/paragraphs to include, and then present them a Word Document to save and print which has just the rules they selected. Of course there is much more involved but this would get me going. Any links to examples is appreciated. Sites to visit,, etc. ----- Of course I'd like to be able to prompt for names, dates, accounts first then insert the selected rules, then some closing info.

    - Macro to remove a word in a specific heading level? Hi, I am hoping someone can help asnwer this question: Let's say I have a word "XYZ" scattered throughout my Word document. That Word document contains many heading levels, like: 1. 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.1.1 How do I write a macro that can remove "XYZ" only if it is in the 4th heading level (e.g. 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2, 2.1.2.3, etc.)? Also, how do I make it so the macro can also search for text blocks that span multiple lines, like, for example,: A â?¢ B C â?¢ D I want to be able to find and replace all text blocks that have exactly the above format and everything, including the bullets.

    - Hyperlink in a macro comment I'm trying to set up macros to streamline grading essays, and I want to include hyperlinks in comments that I have created as commands on a new menu. I create each command as a macro that inserts a comment with text about the error I've found, but I can't figure out how to include the hyperlink in the text that is in the comment. When I record the macro, I can type in the URL as part of the text in the comment, but it isn't hyperlinked. So, for example, I've created a menu in Word called "Sentence Errors" and each command inserts a comment regarding a particular type of error. Here is an example fo the type of text I want to include in a comment: You seem to be having some trouble shaping your sentences so that they read clearly and smoothly. Try reading your words out loud. Often your ear can help you determine if your writing is awkward. You should also visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/604/01 to review the various ways in which sentences can be structured. But I want the Purdue link to be active within the comment, so the students can simply click it from their graded essays. Is this possible? Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113204

    - Question on Ranges Dear Programmers, I am stumped about why "oRange" is doing what it is doing and wondered if someone could explain it to me (and/or point me in the right direction). We are using Word 2003 and the macro is in VBA. Here is my code (it's from the very beginning of the macro): Dim oRange As Range Set oRange = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Range With oRange 'collapse oRange to a point at the end of Table 2: .Collapse wdCollapseEnd 'insert next-page-section-break right after Table 2: .InsertBreak wdSectionBreakNextPage 'insert a paragraph right after the section break: .InsertParagraphAfter ' 'If I understand correctly, the insertion point 'at this point should still be where oRange was 'collapsed--at the end of Table 2. End With oRange.Select With Selection .TypeText "TOC" End With ' ' But here, "TOC" appears right after ' the inserted paragraph, not right ' after Table 2. Isn't oRange now still ' just a point after Table 2? Any feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! -Lynne Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113195

    - How to achieve editable word document with 95% protected in this c Hi, I am working with word-2003 templates having macro forms in it. I use auto-text entries of 15-20 pages along with bookmarks giving options to the user in macro VBA forms to enter the fields . The user can insert the name, address and check or uncheck the desired autotext entries(i.e autotext entries have bookmarks where the bookmark text will be later replaced by the user inserted fields). After insertion, the generated document will be protected. There is a problem in the protection of this generated document from template. I need the generated document (i.e after user entered his requirements in the forms of template) to be protected in such a way that user can make changes only to specific bookmarks in the generated document (i.e even for auto-text entered bookmarks- name, address, etc in the protected document). The generated document should be well protected allowing only changes in the required bookmarks. Can you help me in the option of editing the bookmarks in the generated document(i.e protected one)? Is there any macro forms VBA code to do? or Should i use of the MS word protection options only? In Word-2003, I see the option of editing desired text in the protected word document directly. I am unable to load the autotext entries with editing enabled bookmarks. In Macro VBA forms , I noticed the four options ActiveDocument.Protect( ) [wdallowonlyreading, wdallowonlyformfields,wdnoprotection,etc]. I am unable to get my required result. Can any MVP help me in this issue? Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113177

    - COMException when editing range and HRESULT: 0x80010105 Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but: I am trying to work with the PIA for microsoft word from VS2008, framework 3.5. I am working in a class library with a reference to the Office 12 PIA. I have Office 2003 (only) installed. I am getting a lot of exceptions I do not understand and I cannot find documentation to explain, so any help would be greatly appreciated (as well as documentation, if anyone knows of any). First, trying to edit a range is always throwing an exception, whether it in this format (I'm just pasting some of the relevant lines from the code): oTable = doc.Tables[iTable] oRange = oTable.Rows[iRow].Cells[3].Range; oRange.Text = ""; // exception thrown here Or if the last line is written like this instead: object count = oRange.Characters.Count; object charUnit = WdUnits.wdCharacter; oRange.Delete(ref charUnit , ref count); // throws exception In the second case the exception message is: "Cannot edit Range." In the first case I get HRESULT: 0x80010105 exception where the code stack shows that the exception occurred in "set_Range" method in the RPC server. Here are two more examples that return this same HRESULT: 0x80010105: The last line in this code that is working with a Document word object (called "doc") throws an exception: Range oRange = doc.Content; oRange.Find.ClearFormatting(); oRange.Find.MatchWildcards = true; oRange.Find.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter; // throws exception The following line also throws an exception: oTable.Cell(iSide1Row, 2).Range.Text = strOriginal; Where I've checked that both "strOriginal" and "oTable.Cell(iSide1Row, 2).Range.Text" evaluate to proper strings. Tell me if you need to see more code. Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113176

    - deleting form fields I want to create a template form that after the document is created and saved, the user can Open the saved document, run a "macro??" and delete only specific fields in the form in one pass. The original forms has ~200 fields. We want to be able to reOpen the previously saved document, keep ~50 fields from the original and blank (or Delete) the remaining ~150 fields with a single command. The feilds are always the same. What is the best way to solve this? I thought of building a macro but when you run the macro on the filled in form, it takes a long time to remove the fields in the document when the author is ready to type. VBA seemed like a better option but I'm not as familiar. Using Word 2003 on XP. Thanks, philr Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113169

    - How to reverse only words into sentense by StrReverse function? Hello. I need to turn over all words in selected text by StrReverse function. But these words should be in right order (like in sentense). Reversing should be only for words, not for all string. For example, I do that: Sub reverse() Dim strStroka As String Dim strRev As String strStroka = Selection.Text strRev = StrReverse(strStroka) Selection.Text = Replace(strStroka, strStroka, strRev) End Sub This code is reversed all string. Thus the order of words into sentense is broke. I try it otherwise, but I stop by using of cycle: Sub reverse2() Dim myArr() As String Dim i As Integer Dim sStr As String Dim strRev As String sStr = Selection.Text myArr = Split(sStr) For i = 0 To myArr(sStr) 'this is error strRev = StrReverse(sStr) Selection.Text = Replace(sStr, sStr, strRev) Next i End Sub Help me, please.

    - Disable this error dialog with a macro? Paste Special links have been placed throughout a template, that allow people to enter repetitive information only at the first occurrence, and whatever they type automatically updates other Paste Special links interspersed throughout the template, eliminating redundant keyboarding and reducing typos. But Word insists on displaying an 'error message' whenever people use this template, misleadingly warning them that "this document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?" In this case the links do NOT refer to other files; they are simply internal links intended to function as planned, so this intimidating error message is misleading and rattles users, who tend to answer "NO", which compromises the utility of the template. Can this 'error' message be disabled via a macro? Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113144

I want to record a macro to adjust cell properties, but when I start recording the macro, I lose the ability to right-click! (Anyone know how to overcome this?) Anyway, for various reasons, I need a macro to adjust cell margins. Normally, this is done by right-clicking a cell, selecting "Table Properties"-->Cell tab-->Options button-->Cell margins, and setting all values to zero. (Default value is 0.08 for two of the margins.) Does anyone have a suggestion as to a good way to create a macro for this menial task? Thanks! Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113117

    - Save HTML without Word Styles? I integrated Word97 with a Windows application that allows users to create simple HTML content in Word97. The content is small blocks of text with simple formatting such as bold, italics, color fonts, H1, H2. These blocks of text are stored in a database. The data is uploaded to a web site. When the web application is run, these little blocks of text with their simple HTML formatting are displayed by the web application. I am in the process of upgrading the Windows application to run on XP and to integrate with Word2007. Lo and behold, the format of the HTML code saved in Word 2007 is not the simple HTML commands as before. How can I save HTML in Word 2007 without saving all the explicit Word styles? I discovered HTML, Filtered, but it doesn't eliminate all of the Styles. There is a "Rely on CSS for font formatting" setting on the Browsers tab under Web Options (Word Options/Advanced), but there is nothing about this in the documentation. The web site does have a CSS, and it would be great to be able to reference it. Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113115

The client has standardised on Word 2003 across the organisation, but there are a couple of "high-ranking interested parties" (members of the Board) who are running Word 2007. I've been told - but have yet to see proof - that when documents created from my templates are opened in Word 2007 only the content in the protected area/s of the document is displayed; the unprotected sections are blank. ~cue spooky music~ Unfortunately I don't have a copy of Word 2007 to test with, and the persons reporting the problem are not exactly local, so I'm unable to reproduce the problem myself. However, before I go too much further with chasing this issue (which I'm tempted to resolve by saying it's out of scope since the contract was to develop templates for use in the _standard_ environment), I'd like to know if anybody else has encountered this problem. -- Cheers!

    - Procedure - wide error handling I am needing to create error handling for my program. I have one main procedure that runs on a start button. I don't forsee any errors occurring with the project, but with my type of users, that will most likely be my downfall. I have decided that error handling will be needed, but the code will not compile. Keeps giving "Label not Defined" errors. Is there a way to catch any error witn the procedure, create an email to me which the users will tell what error code they encountered and where, then terminate the program? Below is my current code... Private Sub CmdRun_Click() On Error GoTo 1227 ' ' ' lots of code ' ' Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show PPSPrintForm.Show ActiveDocument.PrintOut (Background = False) If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox "An error has occurred, the program will now terminate and create an troubleshooting email. The error message number is:" & Error(Err) DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "myemail@myemailaddress.com" Err.Clear Application.Quit End If End Sub Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113107

    - Jean-Guy ? One click highlighting of table cells Hi Jean-Guy (or anyone else who can help), Sorry for all these posts but it would be so satisfying to find out if and how this can work. I have a word document with a table of options to choose from. Each Row contains descriptions which will be rated as Excellent (5) Good (4) Satisfactory (3) Poor (2) and Unsatisfactory (1). At the moment users print the document out, highlighting and scoring in pen. Well we want to get all modern and have them do it electronically..... ! What I would like to do is have a way of clicking 1 cell in each row and then it highlights that cell. Jean-Guy provided a way of doing it that was working brilliantly until I came across something that said that Activex Controls aren't compatible with Macs. No control over what OS users will use so may be problem. Then greedily or overoptimistically would like to automatically score each row and sum each column then all columns. Thought I could do that by using Text forms - calc on exit and then sum in last row, using sections to have Activex on unprotected parts of form and Form Controls on protected parts. It meant 2 entries per answer but would have been ok if not for the possible problem of Macs and Activex controls. Any suggestions/solutions would be fantastic!!! Thank you - sorry for long post -- Mifty Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113089

    - Are Controls from the Control Toolbox compatible with Macs Hi everyone, Jean-Guy Marcil gave me a solution for one click highlighting of tabel cells earlier http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general&p=1&tid=02b14904-0fc9-4cbd-9daa-bc512dcaae6c This uses controls from the control toolbox. I have no idea what computers the final users of the form have and read somewhere that Activex Controls won't woek with Macs. Could it be a problem for me or am I getting totally confused. Many thanks and thank you to Jean-Guy for the earlier help -- Mifty Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113080

    - Can you create a word macro that has a choice for the user?

    - Word crashing when printer tray is changed in vba For some time now I have had some printer switching routines detailed on my web site http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm and they have always worked in the past ... until recently when I responded to a question in the mail merge group to a user who found that Word crashed when the tray options were selected. The following sample code should show the problem (change the printer name to a valid printer that is not the default printer and which has a tray 2 assignment available: Sub HPPrint() Dim sPrinter As String Dim sTray As String sTray = Options.DefaultTray With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup) sPrinter = .Printer .Printer = "HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL" .DoNotSetAsSysDefault = True .Execute End With Options.DefaultTray = "Tray2" MsgBox ActivePrinter & vbCr & Options.DefaultTray 'Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup) .Printer = sPrinter .DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False .Execute End With Options.DefaultTray = sTray MsgBox ActivePrinter & vbCr & Options.DefaultTray End Sub I find this invariably crashes Word 2003 (sp2 and sp3) and in Word 2007 the line Options.DefaultTray = "Tray2" is ignored Even using the simpler Sub HPPrint() Dim sPrinter As String Dim sTray As String sTray = Options.DefaultTray sPrinter = ActivePrinter ActivePrinter = "HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL" Options.DefaultTray = "Tray2" MsgBox ActivePrinter & vbCr & Options.DefaultTray ActivePrinter = sPrinter Options.DefaultTray = sTray MsgBox ActivePrinter & vbCr & Options.DefaultTray End Sub the same results apply? I had suspected Acrobat may have been the problem, but I uninstalled that and the problem remains.

    - Problem with Word SendKeys command I'm using Word 2007 trying to set up a very simple macro that would get me into the Keyboard Customization dialog (there doesn't seem to be a command to get there). Previously I've used the SendKeys command for this, but it doesn't seem to work, ie nothing at all happens. The string is "%FIC{Tab}%TMM{Tab}". But even when I put in a very simple string eg: SendKeys "A" (that's the entire macro) nothing happens. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it.

    - insert file I am using the following code to insert a file into a template. " Dim myDoc As Document Dim docrange As Range Set myDoc = ActiveDocument With myDoc .Unprotect Set docrange = .Range docrange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd docrange.InsertBreak wdSectionBreakNextPage Set docrange = .Range docrange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd docrange.InsertFile "W:MN Collective Bargaining Letter.doc" .Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset End With The template has letterhead, so this code adds a section break. What I want to do is just add the file due to size of the page. The file to insert has a wider left and right indent so everything fits on the page. When I insert, does the file inherit the indent and margin of the template or of it's own. If it inherits the template, how can I change the left and right indentation, margins, etc.?

    - Help with VBA Help I have Office 2003 Pro running under XP, everything is fully updated and patched. I also made sure to install the help system for VBA as "Run From Computer" during the custom installation. However, when I start the help system using the VBA window in Word (or Excel), and search for a statement, none of the search results do anything when you click on them. In contrast, clicking on a search result after searching for a Word command in the Word help menu brings up the help subsystem. I've searched google/groups and seen others have had what sounds like the exact same problem but there were no resolutions. What do I need to do to get the VBA help system working in Office 2003? Thanks, Bill Asher p.s. I posted a similar question in one of the Excel groups here. I apologize for the dual post. I didn't find this group until after I submitted the first one or I would have just cross-posted that one. Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113049

    - convert from 2007 to 2003 Does anyone have a way to quickly take a set of word documents that are in 2007 format and save them as 2003 format? I don't want to have to open each document, then click saveas, then choose 97-2003. And I don't want to set my options to always save to 97-2003. It seems like maybe a macro could do it, but I don't know if that will produce the easiest method for the end-user or if it's even possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    - Line number in Table I am creating text from an Access database and placing it into a Word table and need to keep track of the current line number so that if the text is less than a full page I can set the row to not break across the page otherwise I want to allow the row to break and have the text visible on the next page. If there is too much text and I leave the row to not break then not all the text is visible. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jerry Tag: Problem deleting a paragraph Tag: 113044

Hi All

I'm using the following vba to remove a bookmark and paragraph

WordDocOnlMemAcc.Bookmarks("Line1").Select

WordDocOnlMemAcc.Bookmarks("line1").Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Delete

WordDocOnlMemAcc is the object representing the document in use.

If i run the code normally the bookmark is deleted, if i step through
the code the paragraph gets deleted as i wanted. Any ideas what the
problem/solution is?

cheers

Keith
