    - Finding Macrobutton and delete I have a table in a Word2000 document. In the table, I have multiple {macrobutton insertpicture} fields. After inserting the picture, the placeholder and text appear after the picture, taking up space and displaying the default text. How can I search the document and delete all instances of the macrobutton placeholders? I plan on running the procedure in a print procedure code module. Thank you very much.

    - Saving embedded Visio objects as Visio files Our Word documents include Visio objects whose original files are now scattered. I need VBA to do the equivalent of double-clicking to open the object in Visio, saving as a file, and then returning to Word to find the next Visio object. I've been looking at examples of calling other apps, but I don't understand how to move between Word and Visio as I described. Any example code would be a big help.

    - Using DateDiff in Formfields... Hey Gang, Word 2003 Trying to create an automated form for my church and am stumped as to how to do this. I have a calendar form (actually two of them) that populate formfields (StartDate and EndDate). I have another formfield (TotalDays) that I cm trying to populate with the number of days difference between the other two formfields. I assigned the following macro to the "Entry" of the TotalDays field. However, it is not working. Sub CalculateTotalDays() ActiveDocument.FormFields("TotalDays").Result = DateDiff("d", EndDate, StartDate) End Sub I am assuming that Word can't recognize formfields the same way Acces does to know to use them in the calculation, but I can't seem to find a way to make it work. Any ideas? TIA! -- Bill Foley Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor www.pttinc.com Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94616

    - Hitting Cancel Button on Input Box takes me to "GoTo Error MsgBox" instead of exiting the macro Dear Experts: I created a macro that allows the user to format the Table of Contents by using InputBoxes. The user can fill in a value into the dialog box "Please indicate the left indent in centimeters". The value he/she indicates is then transferred to the "With ... " line. I then want the the user to see the previously filled in value (in centimeters) whenever he re-runs the macro. It works fine with the following macro lines (only part of the whole macro) but as soon as I hit the Cancel Button on the InputBox form it does not exit the sub but takes me to the Error Message on the bottom. How do I have to rewrite the code that - when the user hits the Cancel Button on the inputbox form - the macro is exited? Dim LeftIndent As Single LeftIndent = Round(PointsToCentimeters(ActiveDocument.Styles_("Custom_TOC_Style").ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent), 1) On Error GoTo Mistake 'since I declared the LefIndent as single, entering character(s) or blank(s) causes the macro to jump to the Error Message below LeftIndent = InputBox("Please indicate the left Indent", "Indent Size", LeftIndent) If LeftIndent <= 1.3 Then MsgBox "No values below 1.3 are allowed. " Exit Sub End If With ActiveDocument.Styles("Custom_TOC_Style").ParagraphFormat .LeftIndent = CentimetersToPoints(LeftIndent) .FirstLineIndent = CentimetersToPoints(-LeftIndent) End With Exit Sub Mistake: MsgBox "only numbers are allowed, no blanks or characters", vbInformation End Sub Help is appreciated.

    - Setting different character styles on one line of text I have to put a line of text in a footer which has three different character styles with three different sets of text. They all work on their own, but each one cancels out the one previous to it because I do not know how to set the styles & text properly so if I run the code all I am left with is the third style and text. Here is the code I am using: ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Style = (³FooterBold²) ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ³Name² ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Style = (³FooterPlain²) ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ³Address² & vbTab ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Font.Size = 6 ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdheaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ³Printed on recycled paper² How can I get all of these co-existing in the footer. The Name and Address text sections are of varying length. Thanks for any help Sol Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94597

    - shortcut Hello, I have a perplexing problem. First a little background. I created a folder named 'MoJR Documents'. This folder is located on a secondary drive(D:\MoJR Documents) apart from Word. I have a folder named 'My Documents' under C:\Documents and Settings\MoJR\My Documents. I decided to leave this folder in it's original location figuring I may use it as an extra folder at some point. Currently, it has one document in it. I created a shortcut to the 'D:\MoJR Documents' folder and placed it on the taksbar. However, when I open this folder using the shortcut created for it, the address window in Windows Explorer indicates 'My Documents'. This may not be a problem, I'm not sure. However, it may be causing a problem when I try to write a script to use a hotkey combo to open a specific document in the 'D:\MoJR Documents' folder. Why would there be a discrepancy between the shortcut and the folder listed in the address window of Win Explorer? How can I correct this problem? Thank you, MoJR Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94595

    - Getting the REF number from a SEQ field For a cross-reference to a SEQ field (such as the one on a figure caption) a REF field includes a long number, looking like this: { REF_Ref4018934786 \h } But the SEQ field that this points to doesn't display that number. The number must be in the document someplace, but how can I retrieve it? It's the only way I can tie together various things relating to a figure. Thanks.

    - Range Oddity I wonder why you can add a formfield to a range set to a table cell range, but you can't add a field to range set to a table cell range. As the code below illustrates, to add a field to a table cell you first have to collapse a range assigned to a table cell range: Sub RangeTest() Dim oRng1 As Word.Range Dim oRng2 As Word.Range Set oRng1 = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(1).Cells(1).Range Set oRng2 = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(1).Cells(2).Range ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add oRng1, wdFieldFormTextInput On Error GoTo Err_Handler ActiveDocument.Fields.Add oRng2, wdFieldQuote, "Test" Exit Sub Err_Handler: oRng2.Collapse wdCollapseStart Resume End Sub Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94584

    - Form question i have a form that includes multiple sections. sections can have checkboxes and/or dropdown fields. i want to allow the user to go thru the sections and check boxes pick from drop downs. once they are done i want them to have a toolbar button that will "hide" any unchecked boxes and any unselected drop down boxes. I don't want to delete the unchecked/unselected boxes since the user will reuse the document in the future. I just need the unchecked boxes and any unselected drop down boxes to be hidden, so, the document can be view/printed/faxed, ect without all the clutter of the unneccesary text. any advice would be appreciated. thanks JB914 Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94581

    - VBE Auto List Members I just noticed something odd with the VBE Auto List Members feature You can type the line: ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Selection.Range, 'and no list appears of the various wdFieldTypes however, if you type the line: ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Selection.Range 'then the complete list appears. It is odd that the feature is absent where it would be most handy, and present when selecting over 95% of the items listed would result in a RTE "Subscript out of range."

    - Adding Hyperlink Text, then deleting Hello, So, I have a big macro in Word 2003 that I've been working on that keeps growing. The end goal is to have a complete script to convert a Word document into a wiki formatted document (for posting on our internal wiki). I've got most of it down, but hitting a snag with changing hyperlinks into wiki formatted text. First, I need to find the hyperlinks, then I need to add wiki formatting in front of them and after them, then delete the hyperlink itself. To add to the issue, a significant number of my hyperlinks are tied to shapes so when I delete all hyperlinks - it removes them completely, leaving the shape but no address. Can you please help?

Set formdoc = ActiveDocument 'neues dok und Schema anbinden Set xmdoc = Documents.Add xmdoc.XMLSaveDataOnly = True blnSchemaAttached = False For Each objNS In Application.XMLNamespaces If objNS.URI = uriSchema Then 'objNS.AttachToDocument xmdoc blnSchemaAttached = True Exit For End If Next If blnSchemaAttached = False Then Set objNS = Application.XMLNamespaces.Add(pathSchema, uriSchema, "bbreport", True) 'xmdoc.XMLSchemaReferences.Add "bbreport.xmlref.sp", "bbreport", pathSchema, True 'objNS.AttachToDocument xmdoc End If xmdoc.XMLSchemaReferences(uriSchema).Reload In the last line I get an Error, I dont understand.

    - formatting table cells with WordArt I'm trying to create a sheet of labels to use on book spines. Each label will contain one letter formatted and colored with WordArt and centered on the label (first letter of author's last name). I've managed to create a sheet of labels containing the one letter centered in each label, but I can't seem to figure out how to automate changing the letters to WordArt, although I can do it manually. I was attempting to loop through each cell (standard Avery label layout), select the text and change to WordArt, and then change the color of the text. I did manage to do it once, but the WordArt all ended up in the middle of the document. Can anyone tell me how to loop through, select the text in each cell and change it to WordArt in the same spot? Recording the macro gives me the middle of the document as anchor points - I can't figure out what the anchor points would be for each label. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

But when it comes time when I don't want an extra line between lines (i.e. I don't want it double- spaced), I'm unable to do so. In other words, Word automatically double spaces when I push 'Enter'.

    - Search not working as wanted G'day there One & All, I'm currently working on my first Word VB project (well, the first one I've not abandoned and forgotten about) and I've obviously got something wrong. I have some experience with VB for Excel, so most of the concepts ring a bell or two, but the Word object model escapes me and I'm still trying to get my head around it. I have 3 years worth of occurrence logs that I need to search for a specific string. The logs consist of a single table with some consistent entries. Unfortunately this string appears in all logs in one of those entries which I describe as a "heading area". I need to find it in the "narrative" section, not one of the heading areas. The logs are organised in Year Folders, with Month folders inside. The log names are the date for each daily log. I'm trying to perform the following tasks: 1. Use dialog to obtain enclosing folder for all documents - done. 2. Iterate through all subfolders to find log documents - done. 3. Search through each log in turn and search for one of the consistant headings, then commence searching from the next line down for the target word. If found, then store filename in base docuement and ... 4. Stop at end of document, and got to next one - done. Courtesy of the Word MVP pages, and this group's archives, I think I've got 1, 2 & 4 working OK. However 3 is giving me a few problems. I'm getting false hits, and missing occurrences of the target. Ergo, I've got something out of whack. I hope that someone here may be able to point me in the right direction. Here's my searching code: Application.Documents.Open FileName:=strPATH & strFILENAME (Do I need to "open"?) Application.Documents(strFILENAME).Activate With Selection.Find .Text = "Objectives C" ' Heading where search begins from next line .MatchWholeWord = True .Font.Underline = wdUnderlineSingle Do While .Execute Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToLine, which:=wdGoToNext With Selection.Find .Text = "hotel" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = True If .Found = True Then strFULLNAME = Mid(strPATH & strFILENAME, 78, Len(strPATH & strFILENAME) - 77) ' Leave just parent folder and filename If Len(objSTOREDOC.Content) = 0 Then _ objSTARTRANGE.InsertAfter strFULLNAME & vbCr Else objSTOREDOC.Content.Select Selection.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd Selection.InsertAfter strFULLNAME & vbCr End If End If End With Loop End With Application.Documents(strFILENAME).Close strFILENAME = Dir (This is repeated in a loop) Hopefully this will make sense and someone can point out a better way to do it.

    - Can't open certain help file pages Office 2003 In Word VBA (as well as Excel VBA), if I type a help term in the "Type a question for help" box, several help file pages shown as hyperlinks generally appear. However, those links with "(Visual Basic for Applications)" at the end of the help-page name do not work when I click on them. (Example: "Character Set (0-127) (Visual Basic for Applications)".) Nothing happens. Other hyperlinks, to Word-, Excel-, or Office-related VBA help pages, work fine in bringing up the relevant help page. In the Office 2003 installer, Office Shared Features > Visual Basic > Visual Basic Help is installed. Any ideas on how to make these help pages appear? Thanks.

    - Adding Multiple Rows to a Table in a Word Form First off I would like to thank all of the people that post, and all the people that respond. I have lurked for a long time, dependent on the Q&A of others. Today I have spent 12 hours reviewing and steeling snippets from all over the web. I have my table set up to add a row at the end of my table on my protected form, and to add a text form field to 5 of the 7 cells, and also add & populate 2 separate dropdown lists. This works and I could stop here. That being said, my table can be updated with only several rows or up to 5 full pages. I would like to tweak my VBA code to request some sort of input and it would populate that many rows. I am guessing that the best answer would be to loop my current code the number of times the user input. If so, I am guessing it should be fairly easy addition for the loop. Lastly, I am posting because I am sure there are other people that may / will be looking for a similar solution. I am enclosing my code below in case this information is needed to answer my question. I still have to update my comments, sorry. Sub AddRow2() Dim oTbl As Table Set oTbl = Selection.Tables(1) response = MsgBox("Would you like to Add a new row?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) If response = vbYes Then ActiveDocument.Unprotect ' Disable the AddRow macro that is currently in the last cell ' (since we're creating a new last cell) Selection.Tables(1).Cell(Selection.Tables(1).Rows.Count, Selection.Tables(1).Columns.Count).Range.FormFields(1).ExitMacro = "" Selection.InsertRowsBelow 1 Selection.Collapse (wdCollapseStart) myRow = Selection.Information(wdStartOfRangeRowNumber) Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput 'Selection.SelectCell Selection.Bookmarks.Add Name:="a1temp", Range:=Selection.Cells(1) myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text1row" & myRow .Enabled = True End With Selection.Bookmarks.Add Name:="a1temp", Range:=Selection.Range Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text2row" & myRow .Enabled = True End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Set myField3 = Selection.FormFields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormDropDown) myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text3row" & myRow .Enabled = True With myField3.DropDown.ListEntries .Add Name:=" " .Add Name:=" Files " .Add Name:=" Object " .Add Name:=" Report " End With End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text4row" & myRow .Enabled = True End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Set myField5 = Selection.FormFields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormDropDown) myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text5row" & myRow .Enabled = True With myField5.DropDown.ListEntries .Add Name:=" " .Add Name:=" Promote " .Add Name:=" Restore " .Add Name:=" Delete " End With End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text6row" & myRow .Enabled = True End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput myCount = ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields.Count With ActiveDocument.FormFields(myCount) .Name = "text7row" & myRow .Enabled = True ' .ExitMacro = "AddRow2" End With oTbl.Cell(oTbl.Rows.Count, oTbl.Columns.Count).Range.FormFields(1).ExitMacro = "AddRow2" oTbl.Cell(oTbl.Rows.Count, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Select ActiveDocument.Protect NoReset:=True, Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields End If End Sub Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94452

    - Bind a macro to a keystroke in Word 2007???? First off, I'd like to say that I hate Office 2007. :oP I hate the huge, fluffy GUI that they force you to use (since your only other option is to build an entire set of toolbars, one icon at a time, and just ignore the "ribbon"). I hate that the only features I can find are extremely obvious ones... which means that every average user is gonna think this is the best upgrade ever, and every advanced user is gonna end up pulling their hair out trying to find advanced features that they've been using for years... which brings me to my question. How do I bind a keystroke to a macro in Word 2007? Before, I would just go to Tools > Customize > Keyboard... and bind the keystroke... but now, of course, since there is no such thing as a "menu" any more, that option doesn't exist, and I can't find anything like it on the "ribbon". Anyone figure this out yet? WATYF Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94422

    - No Class or High Class For the most part, Class modules are still a mystery to me. What little knowledge I have of them was imparted by Jezebel when I was working on a project to list, count and sort spelling errors. Earlier today and OP wanted to simply list all spelling errors contained in a document in a separate document. I thought of my earlier project and passed on the link. I then started thinking about a simpler code to do exactly what the OP requested "and" prevent duplicates. Here is the result of those thoughts: Sub NoClass() Dim DupChk As Object Dim oCol As Collection Dim oSpError As Word.Range Dim i As Long Set oCol = New Collection 'Add to collection For Each oSpError In ActiveDocument.Range.SpellingErrors On Error Resume Next Set DupChk = oCol(oSpError.Text) On Error GoTo 0 If DupChk Is Nothing Then oCol.Add oSpError End If Set DupChk = Nothing Next 'Publish results Documents.Add For i = 1 To oCol.Count ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter oCol(i) & vbCr Next i End Sub That seems straightforward and does the job. To do the same thing with a class, I first inserted a class module, named it clsError and pasted in this code: Private mName As String Public Property Get Name() As String Name = mName End Property Public Property Let Name(NewValue As String) mName = NewValue End Property In the project module, I used this code: Sub HighClass() Dim oError As clsError Dim oCol As Collection Dim oSpError As Word.Range Set oCol = New Collection 'Add to collection For Each oSpError In ActiveDocument.Range.SpellingErrors On Error Resume Next Set oError = oCol(oSpError.Text) On Error GoTo 0 If oError Is Nothing Then Set oError = New clsError oError.Name = oSpError.Text oCol.Add oError, oError.Name End If Set oError = Nothing Next 'Publish results Documents.Add With ActiveDocument.Range For Each oError In oCol .InsertAfter oError.Name & vbCr Next End With End Sub This works equally as well. What again is the benefit of using a Class? Is there any benefit in this example? Thanks. Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94410

    - Copy Paste Table Problems! I have figured out a way to copy paste a table (with fieldforms). I have a macro button in my doc. which when I press copies the table in the doc. and pastes it. The code to do the that is below: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Set aDoc = ActiveDocument If aDoc.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then aDoc.Unprotect ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Range.Copy Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range _ (Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1, _ End:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1) myRange.PasteSpecial aDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End If End Sub Now, when the user fills in data in the table cells and then presses the macro button, the pasted table has the same data in its cells. Is there a way I could make sure that only the table is copy-pasted and not the data inside it? Any help would be great! Thank You Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94376

    - MI5 Persecution: cost of the operation -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= MI5: cost of the operation -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here's what a couple of other people on Usenet (uk.misc) had to say regarding the cost of running such an operation... PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell reality.

Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my head once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to run this operation. The partial answer is, there have been periods when the intensity has been greater, and times when little has happened. In fact, for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very little happened. Although I don't think that was for reasons of money - if they can tap into the taxpayer they're not going to be short of resources, are they? The more complete answer is in the enormity of what they're doing. Relative to the cost to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for the persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or five people to try to bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To the government a million or two is quite honestly nothing - if they can convince themselves of the necessity of what they're doing, resources will not be the limiting factor. 391 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Prompting for default information Tag: 94348

The File > Properties dialog is usually a better choice: a) because you can
use DocProperty fields to put the info into the document, b) because the
user can change their mind, eg if they made a typo when they answered the
questions the first time round, and c) because the key properties (if you
use them) are also displayed in Windows Explorer when you list the file.
