    - A macro to replace check boxes Does anyone have a macro that will replace every formfield check box that is true with the capital letter "X"? I want the user to click a commend button on the form and the macro will replace all the check boxes that are true with a "x" and just delete the check boxes that are false. I can probably do it myself if I use bookmarks and write logic for each checkbox but i have over 300 on the word document! Any help would be excellent, thank you!

    - PageNum and NumPages I am building complex documents that need Page X of Y in the footer, and this is happening all in VBA. I am combining documents in code, and cannot have the pagenum and numpages fields linked when the document is completed, because it is combined with other documents. So I will get a final document and need to write my own page numbers in the footer. Every page will be in its own section and linktoprevious will always be false. I do not see a Pages collection to loop through. Does anybody have a sample of how I might do this? Use bookmarks perhaps? I just want to loop from page to page and fill in the bookmark with Page X of Y. Please help! Derek Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101900

    - Need Macro to Lock all Links I need a macro which will lock all links in the document on screen. For Word 2003. There are two ways we can do this manually: 1. Select the entire document and press Ctrl+F11 2. Edit-Links-(Select all links in document), click Locked under "update method for selected link") But I need a macro to do this since the users who need to take these actions may find the process confusing. I haven't been able to record a macro to do this. Can anyone provide me with the code to do this? Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101897

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Mscomm_PortOpen_error_=E2=80=93_does_any?= Hi Everybody: Iâ??ve run across this error on several computers and much has been written about it on the web but no one seems to understand what causes it or how to fix it. The problem became evident when I was trying to use the â??Dialerâ?? sample code in Visual Basic. ALL the ports came back with a â??Run-time error 8012 device not openâ?? even when the statement before it is: â??MSComm1.PortOpen=Trueâ?? and of course the state before it is â??MScomm1.ComPort = 3â?? the port number to my modem. Similar problems exist on the HyperTerminal. The HyperTerminal wonâ??t work on COM 3 my modem port number, it will work on GTW V.92 Voicemodem the name associated with the modem, and of course non of the other port numbers wonâ??t work either. Iâ??ve tried changing the port number of my modem and in the Visual Basic sample program, but the problems remained the same. Does anyone really know how to fix this problem?

    - Include several nonbreaking spaces in an expression Dear Experts: I came up with the following macro to insert a nonbreaking space between the =A7-symbol followed by any number of blank spaces (usually one or two) and any following number. For example: =A7nonbreakingspace138 (=A7 138). It is running fine. See the code below. Sub InsertNonBreakingSpace() Dim rngStory As Range For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges With rngStory.Find .Text =3D "(=A7) {1;}([0-9])" .MatchWildcards =3D True .Execute Replace:=3DwdReplaceAll, ReplaceWith:=3D"\1^s\2" End With Next rngStory End Sub But now I would like to expand the macro to insert a nonbreaking space not only after the =A7-symbol but also after the number (can be a number with one, two, three, four etc. digits) that immediatley follows the first nonbreaking space as in: =A7-NonbreakingSpace-138-NonbreakingSpace-Corporate Code (=A7 138 Corporate Code) I did not manage to re-write my code to include the second nonbreaking space. Help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101891

    - Identify Active Formfield Item Number? I am creating a locked Word 2003 document containing a number of (un-bookmarked) Text Form Fields. Owing to a problem with the limited availability of number formats for the Text Form Field (see previous Discussion Group question), I need to run a Macro on exiting the field to reformat the Result. The Macro will something like the following: Sub FieldFormatter() With ActiveDocument Dim X as Integer ' Item number of the Text Form Field that ran the Macro X = ?????????????????????????????????? ' WHAT?

    - Macro help (open doc from template - then close template) Hi all, Can anyone help please. I have the following macro which runs based on a selection of 'Y' or 'N' in an excel spreadsheet which opens a word doc from a word template. My question is how can this be modified to open the word doc based on the template, but close the actual template once the new doc is openend. Currently when you save the new document, it also asks if you wish to save ythe template(basically overwrite), which leave the document template open to be overtyped!!

    - this key is already associated with an element of this collection A macro I'm creating (see partial code below) reads tab-delimited fields from a text file. The strange thing is that after I shut it down then start it up again for testing, I receive the message "This key is already associated with an element of this collection"--almost as if the process is kept in memory from the previous session. The hangup occurs on the line that reads "arrHeaderNames(intCtr)" at the end. Then, even more strange, when I bump the yellow highlighted step indicator back up about three lines to "Line Input #1," it runs OK. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. 'get some key values from source file and assign them to main variables Open strPathWkFile For Input As #1 Line Input #1, strScrap arrHeaderNames = Split(strScrap, Chr(9)) For intCtr = LBound(arrHeaderNames) To UBound(arrHeaderNames) colHeader.Add Item:=Trim(str(intCtr)), Key:=arrHeaderNames(intCtr) Next intCtr intCtr = 0 Do While Not EOF(1) intCtr = intCtr + 1 Line Input #1, strScrap arrFieldData = Split(strScrap, Chr(9)) strLead_ID = arrFieldData(Val(colHeader.Item("Lead_ID"))) I even tried changing the value of intCtr in the troubled line from 0 to 1 but to no avail. -- Bryan Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101885

    - Word templates on new server are inaccessible when old server is o A group of Word templates was created on SERVER1 some years ago. The original server location is reflected in the file location field code in the footer as \\SERVER1\[template location]. A couple of years ago, the templates were MOVED to \\SERVER2\[template location] where users have been accessing them without a problem using Word 2003. There is no copy of the templates on SERVER1. After decommissioning SERVER1, it was turned off. Afterwards, users reported that Word would hang when they tried to create new documents from the templates. This was remedied by turning SERVER1 back on again. QUESTIONS: How could access to the templates be impeded by turning off SERVER1 when the templates no longer reside there? Is there somehow a hidden pointer to SERVER1 within the template code that redirects back to SERVER2? The following obvious causes have been ruled out: 1. Both file locations for Word templates (user and workgroup) are pointing to SERVER2. 2. Checking the VBA editor within Word, there is no hard-coding in any of the templates (including normal.dot) that points to SERVER1. 3. There are no startup macros or templates in ..\Office11\Startup. Users DO share a network normal.dot. Autotext entries in this template are updated by a single person, the same person who created the templates on SERVER1. A search of the VBA code for normal.dot does not reveal any pointers to SERVER1. The goal is to decommission SERVER1 without impeding access to the templates on SERVER2. Any assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Clark Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101878

    - Text Form Field - Number Format Problem I am creating a (Word 2003) protected form using Text Form Fields to accept input (and to perform a calculation on previously input Number fields). The Number Format dropdown box in the Text Form Field Options menu where the Type is Number, offers only a limited set of number of available formats. One of these formats, Â£#,##0.00;(Â£#,##0.00), can be edited to Â£#,##0;(Â£#,##0) to allow input of values of whole Pounds (Sterling) only. HOWEVER, I am not happy with the format of the negative values (i.e. in parentheses) and I would REALLY prefer to use "Â£,0;-Â£,0". I am able to use my prefered number format to display the result in the Calculation type of Text Form Field - but I have been unable to see how I can apply this format to a(n input) Number type Text Form Field. Can anybody help, please? PJ Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101866

    - Save Document oddity I have used macros similar to the following to insert (in this instance) the path at the foot of a document. However testing this in Word 2007 has thrown up an anomaly in that the check for whether the document is saved is completely ignored inevitably causing an error at the line pPathname= if the document has not already been saved. This always worked in Word 2003, however on testing again in Word 2003 (my PC currently has both Word 2003 and 2007 installed in parallel) it no longer worked there either. Following a reboot, it worked again in 2003, but not in 2007, and then on closing 2007 and reopening 2003 it no longer works there. Reboot and open 2007 without first opening 2003 and it still doesn't work :( Initially I thought that the presence of both versions was the problem, but my laptop only has 2007 and it doesn't work there either. Any ideas? I am trying to like 2007 ..... honest .... but it seems to throw up one problem after another. On an entirely different note my laptop's Word 2007 has an AddIns tab on the Ribbon, that of my desktop doesn't. My desktop has Acrobat 8.1 instead. I guess that may be getting in the way, in the inimitable manner Adobe has of screwing with Word :( ?

MI5 is not under the same restraints as the police. They infiltrate organisations, people's jobs and lives. They operate almost like a cancer." "At the moment the acorn of a Stasi [the former East German communists' secret service] has been planted. It is there for future governments to build on." The message is clear. Criminal subversion and criminal harassment by an unpoliced minority not subject to the law, "infiltration of people's jobs and lives" is with us today. 16220 Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101788

This in itself dos not suggest that the police have it in for you. The old bill operates on extremely tight spending limits forced on them by that pillock Michael Howard, and without evidence, they often have higher priorities than chasing something that cannot go to court. I doubt that the police are actually being leant on, but they probably realise that if they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The met always stays away from anything that looks like it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already, because they realise that they are below these government agencies in the general pecking order. This attitude was made clear in a TV show where a left wing comedian heckled some aristocratic Tory candidate in a local election. The police officer gave the comic a ticking off, even though you could see that this young copper sympathised with the comedian, and regarded the Tory as an upper-crust wanker. He said, and I quote "I'm giving you the ticking off and not him because he's a Lord and I'm a Police Constable." If I walked into my local nick and complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would show me the door without even looking at my evidence, because that bored desk seargant with only five years to go before he retires doesn't want to start fucking about with somebody who has incurred the wrath of Stella Rimington. He would rather deal with the lost dogs and driving licence producers, eat his cheese and pickle sandwiches and piss off home at the end of his shift than have some high ranking spook having a go at his boss and getting him a bollocking. In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise. Just remember that saying about the enemy of your enemies.

I think the police know well what's going on. It is up to them to do something about it. They know I've made a complaint at a police station.

In this case I think it is 'high-ranking' police officers who are aware of the persecution, they know a complaint has been made, and they're doing nothing. What is more, I don't think there is anything I can do that would make them take action, both because they may be being 'leant on' and through the wider view that it could be deleterious to the state to have a persecution by state organs exposed. They're wrong in taking that point of view, because sooner or later this will all out anyway, and they it will be n years of police inaction (n>=6) that will be questioned. > >In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise.

Because ... >So why didn't they just shoot you dead? >It would have been a lot cheaper. I think there are two reasons nobody has taken physical action as opposed to verbal; a) A lot of people "know". Perhaps you the reader might not know, but lots of people in the media etc do. Remember, I was born in the UK and lived there until a couple of years ago. I don't think these people would condone state-sponsored murder of someone who might be seen on a good day as one of their own. b) Rather than doind anything directly, they're going for spying, verbal harassment, media harassment, every form of persecution short of the physical. Because as soon as anything turns physical, the police become involved; and unless it turns physical, the police can shrug and say 'not our problem'. So they persecute you and try to get you to react, either by hitting one of them (in which case I clearly find myself in the wrong as far as the police are concerned), or by trying to harm myself (in which case they can pretend they weren't responsible). It's a pretty unproductive form of harassment actually, because if you don't react then they're wasting they're time. Or perhaps they're just cheap bullies and trying to wreck someone's life, without any ulterior motive? 13192 Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101786

However although I would not like to see the censorship of posts because they demonstrate evidence of mental illness, I suspect that Mike Corley will inevitably be censored by his ISP following a number of complaints of usenet abuse and mailbombing. ---- David Toube Lecturer in Law QMW, University of London WWW: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~ugtl027/index.html David Boothroyd's British Elections Home Page WWW: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~laws/election/home.html 11678 Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101785

All the usual stuff about the town I'd been staying, "he doesn't know who we are", self-justification that we're doing it because he's a "nutter" etc. Real friendly like. Also a fairly obvious wind-up and attempt to get some reaction. I think they're trying quite hard to get a reaction. If I hit someone on a flight over the Atlantic, am I actually breaking any laws, and if so whose? Is a BA aircraft British territory subject to British laws while it's in mid-flight?

    - A content control like MS's citation, bibliography, TOC, etc.? In Word 2007, inserting a bibliography, citation or table of contents adds content controls that have features I'd like to use too. But I don't see how. Insert a bibliography or table of contents, click in it, and you'll see commands where the title would be. Add a citation, click in it, and you'll see a drop-down list in which the entries are commands. Is there a way for us to create such high-powered content controls, too? I didn't see documentation on how to add commands to content controls, so I thought I'd use Visual Studio to peek at those super controls and see what's going on. But the ContentControls collection doesn't see them. John Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101781

Time to come out of the woodwork of this thread (or variations thereof)... I find it annoying that discussion of Mike's situation is spread over multiple threads - it makes it hard to follow, and especially to follow up. If it could be consolidated into one thread on relevant newsgroups (I'm reading this on uk.media btw). I'm a little surprised with the volume of abuse Mike has received, but believe strongly in freedom of speech if such a thing were to exist, which clearly includes abuse as much as anything. One thing which has been missing from this discussion is this simple prognosis: that maybe Mike is right and that, despite his admitted mental condition, there really is a campaign against him organised by now-influential ex-students of his university. Does anyone remember the TV series GBH, a fictional account of security service and governmental power games? Fictional, certainly, but one of the most powerful pieces of TV drama I've seen in many years, fascinating and quite believable, even. The fact is, as Mike has pointed out (oh, so many times :-), that the security services _do_ have the influence, contacts, resources, and time to conduct such a campaign of surveillance and even psychological terror if they so chose. If they have this power, then they will surely use it We still don't have all the facts from Mike, and the most pertinent here I think would be about his time at university - the people who took against him, the ringleaders. We need to know far more about Mike: his political and social affiliations, put in context with his univeristy years, the enemies he made, the reasons people ganged up on him at the very early stages. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories generally, but I know there is far more that goes on in the universities, old boy's clubs, civil and secret services and Parliament than is ever made public. Mike, I leave it to you to construct a _single_ thread in a relevant newsgroup about this topic and keep to this thread to give us new information and answer questions about your situation.

    - MI5 Persecution: Goldfish and Piranha 29/9/95 (1080) I just thought I'd let you know what I've been reading into the "Crusader" spam. I don't want to post this to usenet because somebody might try to tie that in to my posts in some way (someone already has, in uk.misc). First of all, I'd like to ask you to believe that my phone line in my apartment is bugged, and has been for many months. I have moved a couple of times this year, but "they" have faithfully been on my trail. Anyway, let's suppose my phone line is bugged. Now, when I talk to my internet service provider, it's over a SLIP (now PPP) connection. So if you wanted to bug what was said, either you'd listen in over the line and have to decode the transmission, or you could go to the service provider (more difficult) and ask them to decode a particular user's connection. OK, so now they're listening to everything I do over my SLIP/PPP connection. A couple of months ago I was messing around with faking articles through nntp servers and through anonymous remailers. I chose a nice inconspicuous newsgroup for my little tests, something no-one would ever notice. Guess which newsgroup I chose??? Yes, _FISH_!!! or rec.aquaria to be precise And guess what articles I tried to post? Goldfish, Koi carp and, you'll never guess... PIRANHA!!! The goldfish article and the Koi went through, but the piranha didn';t appear. by now you probably think this is too silly for words. But if you look in the papers a few eeks ago you will find John Major, Tonny Blair and Paddy Ashdown sharing a "private joke" about Major's sunburnt goldfish. We haven't had anything about Koi yet (they must be too dull ). Now, sent by someone who clearly knew what they were doing (they chose an Italian backbone site for their launch point) we have many thousands of messages to people all over the globe. All about piranha, and with the punchline "that gives you something to think about, doesn't it?" The way it works is that they're trying to kill two birds with one stone again. I don't knoiw why they should be against these national alliance people, but my interpretation is that they simultaneously try to discredit them, and stem the flow of Corley articles. ================================================================= In article <DFnE55.8tF.0.bloor@torfree.net>, Mike Corley <bu765@torfree.net> wrote: > >John J Smith (J.J.Smith@ftel.co.uk) wrote: > >: b) we do know who you are.

But at least we're observing a studied silence for now. :People can always be called "MR X", to save them being named. : :I'm completely perplexed as to what you mean by b). Revealing identity? :To who? And why would this be bad for any part of your life when you :already have a less than respectful reputation here? I'll just enumerate one or two things that I can still remember. Sometime around August/Sept 1992 I was living in a house in Oxford, and coming out of the house was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of me about, "yeah, I heard he was attacked". Again, one I went for a walk in some woods outside Oxford. The next day, at work, someone said "you know he went to the forest yesterday". I don't want to put details on usenet of what happened because to do so would be to risk it happening again. If you put ideas in peoples' heads then you can find them reflecting back at you, and I don't want that. Also I can't remember that much from three years ago. From november 1992 I started taking "major tranquilizers" and just blotted the whole thing from my mind. >This is a feature time and time again, that the security services >(presumed) get at you by manipulating other people around you to get at >you. If you have their contacts, manpower, resources and technology then >you can do that sort of thing. :But why? Are you a threat? They pretend they "have" to get at me. After the first few weeks they had to find a reason to spy and abuse. You can't abuse someone unless they're in the wrong in some way. What I did "wrong" was to be ill. So it became "nutter" and "monster" and "he's going to attack us" coupled with "ha ha ha, he can't do anything to defend himself, it was so funny". That obvious contradiction within their propaganda is something they blithely ignore. :So, the Security Services never *actually* appear, and you assume that :they get someone else to do your dirty work. This is a bit of a big :logical step, here: That person doesn't like me, or is causing me trouble, :it's not because they've got problems themselves, it must be the "Security :Services". Yes. Because people are infallible. Or is there more? A single source is indicated because of the range of harassment. BBC + Capital + manipulated_public_at_large + set_up_situations, what does that add up to? Add in the technology to carry out the covert spying and the manpower and knowhow to follow you around for five years without being spotted. It smells very much of the security services, because there is no other organization (to my knowledge) which does the things I've seen these people do. Remember, they have deliberately chosen the softest of soft targets to victimize. They purposely chose a mentally ill person who they thought would be likely to kill himself anyway, so that they could get away with murder. And in all likelihood it will have started as a personal vendetta by someone. Who could that be? I don't know, but I can give you some clues. The first possibility (deep breath) is that someone from my college set me up. Six years ago I graduated from university in the UK, during the last year there I was steadily getting more and more ill. I know that I was talking in my sleep; although I don't know what I was saying, it got me a reputation, and if someone from my college talked afterwards to the "wrong" people then that could be the reason for all that has followed. I think that's the strongest contender for source. Directly beneath my room lived another bloke who frequently had his friends round late at night, after the time that I went to sleep. So they could have heard what I was saying in my sleep, and that could have got me the reputation for "talking to myself". What I don't know is why that should have rebounded a year after I left. You'd think it would have happened sooner; it's a bit odd to wait for a year and then start abuse. That leads me to question what in particular happened around May/June 1990 for them to start then. >What I don't know is how it looks from the other side, from the side of >the people who are being manipulated to get at me. On a couple of >occasions I have challenged people to tell the truth of the matter, but >they have alwats ducked the challenge. :Have you ever considered the possibility, that you have made a mistake, and :the people don't know what you are talking about? Yes. I am currently considering the possibility that some people around me know only what is being posted on Usenet, and have not been "contacted" by "them". But I _know_ that others have been contacted. :What words? Are they in common use? Could they be a catchphrase of a :popular comedian?: "Nice to see you, to see you nice"? In England the all-time No. 1 is "nutter". Easter this year, returning home from Clapham police station to report five years of harassment ("we're not saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening"), another "not happening" incident of harassment when a cowardly little slut did her country proud by yelling "nutter, nutter, nutter" in the face of the hated enemy. What can you do about that? You can't yell abuse back in their face, because they know they're supported by their peers, by the media, by the murderers in the security forces. You can't put them down when the fascist establishment is on their side. You can't hit them, because they would deny their abuse, they would deny knowing anything, and bring charges against the "nutter" who attacked them "at random". >You know, you're >passing saomeone, they're hardly going to construct an argument for your >benefit, so they work a word of abuse into the conversation which they >can giggle at. :Abuse such as what? We're all adults here, we can take it. Is this abuse :aimed at you? How can you tell it is? I think I've said already what the words are. Thing is, at any given time the language is consistent. In January everyone's calling you X, then a few weeks later people stop calling you X and start calling you Y. You can tell it's aimed at me, because when people repeatedly say the same words are you walk past, then laugh, you would have to be hard of understanding not to recognize it. >Or they repeat something that's been said somewhere else... the PE thing >being a case in point.

They are everywhere. The English language has much double :meaning in it, and if you put your mind to it, you could pull a double :entendre out of a randomly chosen page of the bible. So what? >The point is that when Simon pointed it out to Phil, he did recognise >what it meant after a moment's thought... and so did I... and so did the >people who repeated it several times later... so however murky it may >seem to you, that is the meaning they intended it to have... I still don't really know if the meaning was intended when that headline was written, or if it was simply "found" after the fact. The reason I think it might be the former is that I got quite a lot of abuse along the lines of "sound-alike" or "double-entendre" at work, in particularly from Steve. So "double" inevitably came to mean split-personality, "two people in one"; "back" inevitably came to mean "backside", "come" inevitably meant you-know- what, "split" (well, we'd better split now) again you can guess, "bent" (of a similar bent), the list goes on forever. These aren't "nice" double- entendres intended for comedy, they're nasty words to humiliate and cause pain. If I could turn the clock back three years then I would sue my former employers for harassment and I would almost certainly win. I had to take pills after a year of Oxford, so they wouldn't be able to lie their way out of it. Actually, I could still take them to court - the main obstacle being that three years after the fact is a bit late and much of what happened, the details that would be necessary for a case to go to court, has just been obliterated by time. : Smid ============================================== From: flames@flames.cityscape.co.uk (Peter Kr|ger) Newsgroups: uk.misc,soc.culture.british,alt.conspiracy,uk.media,uk.legal Subject: Re: Mike Corley - a (helpful) suggestion Date: Mon Oct 2 05:43:42 1995 In article <812551172snz@objmedia.demon.co.uk>, Snail <snail@objmedia.demon.co.uk> says: >Indeed, I feel that my Usenet access is censored simply because I don't want >to download groups he is partaking in, because of his behaviour. > >I wasn't that bothered, but I am starting to get seriously pissed off >with him.

It seems he is probably not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Heres an interesting little story from back in the early days of CCD technology. There was this miniature camera which was designed to fit behind the infrared receiver lens of the remote control system (just beside the IR sensor itself) the camera clocked out the data in 256 lines of 256 pixels from a Fairchild chip and fed it out, a line at a time, into the VBI within the TV set itself. The signal could be picked up remotely from a standard license detector van from where it was stripped out of the surrounding RF signal and relayed back to the TV station where it was displayed as a slowscan monochrome image in a corner of the news readers monitor. 1080 Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101777

    - InsertFile (include text) or AddFromFile (master) We need to print and send some standard information with each proposal that we send out. So our people open the proposal, print it, then open the information document, print that out, then possibly a third document, and print that out. I'd like to set up a template so they open a blank document, just click a button that says "Include file" that runs a macro that lets them select each file, then links it to the document. If I use InsertFile, I lose the formatting. I can't change all the source documents to have a section break at the beginning. I thought of using Master Documents (ONLY FOR PRINTING!), figured I would use AddFromFile method with READONLY = TRUE to protect the included documents. But setting READONLY = true doesn't seem to protect the documents from being modified, so I'm afraid it won't keep them from getting corrupted. I don't really care what happens to the master document as long as the source documents stay safe. Any idea? Or should I just give up? Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101765

    - Find out which type of footer is used on the current page in a given section Hi all, I am writing some code that places a picture in a document. This works perfect. I only have one question. I am setting the width of the picture to a fixed number. Then I want to check if the hight of this picture still fits on the current page. If it doesn't, I need to calculate the maximum possible height and change the width accordingly. I know I can use the Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage) to find out on what the top position is of my picture relative to the top of the page. This document has multiple sections with different for primary - and first pages. Some footers have a style with spacebefore to make the space on the page smaller then other pages. Therefor I can't just use the bottom margin of the current section. I need something like the vertical position of the selection relative to the bottom of the page but AFAIK there's no property to get this info. I can find out on which section I am working with the information property but I can't seem to figure out on which sectionpage I am working. I need this in order to find out how much space is available on the current page (pageheight - (top margin + bottom margin + space before on current footer)). Does anybody have a clue on how to solve this or perhaps a suggestion for another technique that may lead to the same results? TIA, Renate Tag: Saving document with new name via vba Tag: 101746

    - Bizarre table behaviour - can you explain? Hi, This is Word 2002... but I'd be surprised if it was unique to Word 2002... Fed up with the DocumentMap not handling tables, I wrote my own outliner that selectively shows and hides rows... worked a treat. Then I discovered I needed some extra columns - but I've no screen estate left, so I thought why not use a similar trick to show/hide one of a pair of columns (well, alternate between v. small and "normal" width :) Works OK BUT... I only need one column of the pair at a time, so I set up a double-click show/hide routine. First, I hide a column by setting the font to hidden and then setting the width to something small, then I show the other column by first setting the width to "normal" AND ONLY THEN un-setting the font hidden attribute. ***** THE WEiRD BIT ****** What is weird is that when a previously "hidden" column is shown the text ALWAYS appears in the "narrow" column (thereby causing the row height to go crazy) even though I set the width first, before I unhide the text (it does sort itself out a moment later, but it's hell on the eyes and it takes time...) Turning off screenupdating for the duration doesn't help, and no amount of extra DoEvents calls or explicit repaginates will stop it... (all desperate measures I admit...). WHY? More to the point, can I stop it? Thanks Julian PS I have just "purged" the template and reimported all modules, so I'm confident there are no lurking corruptions...

Hi Rach,

Try this.
Dim strNewName As String
Dim dt As Single 'Location of the dot before the filename
extension

strNewName = ActiveDocument.FullName
dt = InStrRev(strNewName, ".")
strNewName = Left(strNewName, dt - 1) & "_Locked" &
Mid(strNewName, dt)
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strNewName

This will keep save the document to the same folder and preserve the
extension.
Of course this new doc now becomes the activedociument so if you then
want to go back/work on the original document you have to close this
new one and open the original.

Cheers
TonyS.
