    - Missing FilePicker Dialog I had been using the FileDialog object in a Word (2002) add-in until a colleague running Word 2000 tried to use it and got an error. I discovered that the FileDialog object is available only in the Office 10.0 library. Since I need to distribute this add-in to people whose version of Office I won't be able to update, I want to do without using the FileDialog object. But I can't seem to find a filepicker type dialog otherwise. Does one exist? Or will I need to create my own filepicker using a userform? I should note that I considered using Word's built-in fileopen dialog as a workaround. But I don't need to open the file that is picked. (The program simply needs to take the fullname of the document that is picked and assign that value to one of the activedocument's variables.) I'd prefer to avoid that workaround if possible. Thanks for any guidance, GPL Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52848

    - Can 3rd Party Tools or Machine Configuration (i.e. Win XP / Office 2000) Interfere with Overridden Word Commands? Hello, I have overriden code that runs for the "EditPaste" Word command. This works fine on a Win98 / Office 2000, Win XP Pro / Office XP Developer and WINNT / Office 2000 machines all of which do not have 3rd party MS Word-associated addins and / or tools. The routine does not fire on a Win XP / Office 2000 machine that also has FactSet addin tools installed. More specifically, a dummy "EditPaste" routine used for testing does fire provided the clipboard is empty when the user does a Ctrl + V or Edit > Paste. Does anybody know of any 3rd party tools, Service Packs or missing Service Packs that could cause such behavior?

    - How do i create and modify a chart in a Word doc from VBA? Hello, i've got a word-document with tables in it. Now i want to generate charts automatically based upon the data in these tables. I've been looking around, but haven't really found any documentation or examples that were helpful to me. These are the questions: * how to create a chart in VBA? * how to get it to base it's data upon a table in my word document? * how to change the type of chart (to bars, pie, ...)

    - Working with Tables I have two (probably simple) questions: 1. Why does word append cell values in tables with the strange formatting marks? If I retrieve a cell value by: Debug.Print ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text I get the cell value (e.g., "MyValue") with two extra characters that seem to be a carriage return and a tab line character. I am correcting this by using the following function...but I am thinking maybe there is an easier way (if not, will this function always work?): Debug.Print Left(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text, _ Len(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text) - 2) 2. How do you retrieve tables that are in the header/footer area? These don't show up in the Tables collection under ThisDocument --- it only counts the tables in the body region (maybe this has something to do with sections). I am new to the Word object model. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Seth Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52829

    - Do While or While & Selection or Range Object? Hi Folks, I've written some code to check the character style in paragraphs and 'do stuff' based of the style found. First question: Is it better to use the 'Do While' clause with this (which I'm thinking it might be). Second Question: Is it better to use range instead of selection, and if so how do I convert this to ranges? I've never used ranges before and don't really know that much about the properties/methods.

    - VBA with Word Viewer (relates to MS Access and Word) Hi all, I'm going to start by talking about MS Access, but this is a Word question and relates to the Word VBA library. The situation is I have a MS Access DB that will be running using the Access runtime environment. The application I'm developing is for a developing country, and therefore I cannot assume users will have Access or Word available. Developing the database is not a problem - there is a runtime version of Access and we have the budget to afford unlimited licenses for distribution. However, one of the outputs of the application needs to be a great variety of printed forms (tax returns, appeal applications, tax refund applications, etc) which all exist in Word format. Getting the DB to pull out data and programmatically write it to word documents is not a challenge - as long as the user has Word 2000 on their system. I'm doing it in a module in Access as below: 'get a load of data from the DB dim wordObj as Object Set wordObj = New Word.Application wordObj.Visible = False wordObj.Documents.Open "whateverTaxFormTheUserChooses.dot" 'programmatically search for placeholders in the tax form and replace with data from the DB wordObj.Visible = True 'then print it, save it etc Not a problem - BUT - can I still do this if my user does not have MS Word installed? I've downloaded the Word Viewer, which is free and great so far as all that needs to be done is to open and print a document, but from what I can tell I won't be able to use it to generate documents on the fly like I'm doing above, so I guess my question is: 1) As long as I've got the appropriate libraries enabled in Access, can I still get at the classes I need to programmatically edit Word documents even if Word is not installed? (And then display them with the word viewer). 2) Do I have any other options? Any advice from you knowledgable folks out there would be muchly appreciated.

    - Numeric (\#) field switches Am setting up a form template which will be used in France. They use the following numeric format for dollars: $x xxx xxx,00. Spaces instead of commas and a comma for the decimal place holder. I have 1)changed my "Regional Options" under the Control Panel to France and made the appropriate changes to the comma separator and decimal place holder. 2) Altered my US formula (which works) by substituting the spaces and commas. The calculation does not work! qty cost ea total 1 $5 336 205,00 $ 646 WRONG! My formula is written as: {=x*y\# $# ##0,00;($# ##0,00);} and is inserted into a table cell from "Table-Formula". If I substitute in the commas and decimals of the US the formula works fine. Can someone show me what I'm missing to make it work?

    - Column Headers in Catalog Merge? Hello All, I am programatically using the Word 2000 Object Model to execute a mail merge via a Visual Basic program. The main document type is set as Catalog and the output produces a single table with invoice payment line items. The table is created successfully after the merge, however I would like to be able to put column headers on the table as well. If I add column headers to the main document and then merge, I end up with the headers being repeated in every other row of the table. For example: Headers First Payment line item Headers (Repeated) Second Payment line item Headers (Repeated) Third Payment line item etc... I was wondering if there was a way to designate that the column headers should only be displayed once (either programatically via the Word object or in the main document itself). If anybody has any information on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    - Word mail merge and files per receiptent I use the Word mail merge functionality to mass produce letters. I have a word template with defined fields and a data source (Excel-file). The mail merge functionality however, merges the data source with the template into one single Word-document containing all letters (multiple receiptents in one file). Is there a way to merge into on document/file per receiptent? Second question: To handle this missing functionality mentioned above, I made a VB snippet to split the big merged document into one file per receiptent. This is how the VB code I wrote performs this: 1. I make a SELECTION in the merged document (with multiple letters), ranging from beginning to end of the letter for ONE person. 2. Copy this content to the clipboard. 3. Open a new blank document. 4. Paste it into the new blank document. 5. Saving to a new file. The problem here however was: How can I specify a SELECTION in a document by page numbers? I had to specify the SELECTION range by number of paragraphs, which is not a precise specification. All help appreciated. -Jørn A. Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52778

    - Weirdness with two docs open based on same template i have a Word VBA template with a lot of code and userforms in it, and everything is working fine. however, i've discovered that, if I create two documents (doc1 and doc2) based on that same template and have both open at once, I get strange behavior. Specifically, whenever i call the .Show method of a userform in doc1, all is fine. But if I call the .Show method of one of my userforms in doc2, then doc1 becomes the ActiveDocument before that userform is displayed. As a result, when the userform inserts text into the document, it always gets inserted into doc1. And doc1 remains the ActiveDocument. I don't understand what I could be doing to change Word's idea of the ActiveDocument, but I must be. Is there something special I need to do in my code to handle having multiple documents open that are referring to code in the same template? any help/pointers appreciated. thanks, garyh Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52769

If the current left section of footer is a word supported text such as date, page number etc. the subroutine generates an error saying "the range cannot be deleted" upon reaching the following line in code: .Text = strTextString Shouldn't it behave consistently. Also, strangely above mentioned error does not occur if we replace following line .SetRange Start:=.Start, End:=getLeftFooterLen(objHeaderFooter) with objHeaderFooter.Range.SetRange Start:=.Start, End:=getLeftFooterLen(objHeaderFooter) Can someone please help us understand the problem?

    - Print dialog: What to print drop down list Somehow, by screwing around with SendKeys, I managed to corrupt my settings so that when I print a document I ALSO get a listing of the document's properties. Note that the Print menu showed that I was printing the Document, not the document properties. Only way I found to get rid of this was to delete the Data key for Word in the registry. I noticed that the drop down list in the Print menu has items that seem to correspond to all the allowed values for wdPrintOutItem, except for wdPrintComments and wdPrintEnvelope. I ASSuMEd that an entry for comments would be included if I added a comment to the document. Well, after adding the comment, there was no entry for comments in the drop down list, however, when I printed the document, comments were displayed, with no obvious (to me) way to disable the display of comments. Do I need to again delete the Data key? Have I stumbled upon a bug/"feature" or am I missing something? -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site.

The image (a familiar one, that I added myself to this document long ago) that is printed trhough the text is a vertical stripe Text box) containing text from top to bottom. I have tried copying the entire table to a new document, and printed the table from there, but the image was still printed along with the table. Is there a way to make all elements of a document visible? Do I need to do this with VBA. TIA, ANDy Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52701

    - Requirements on Target Machine - Office 11 Hi; What's the best way to add Word 2003 as a requirement for a setup program? The best I can think of is to look for HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/11.0/Word but that seems like a hack. ??? - thanks - dave Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52692

    - Bookmark disappears after Fields.Update I'm programmatically inserting a field referencing text from a bookmark in another file. I immediately update the field once I've created it and then I add a bookmark for the fields result range. Sometimes the bookmark disappears once the field updates. Is there any way around this? I'd like the bookmark to encompass the field no matter the contents of the field. Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52690

    - IDTExtensibility2 & Office 10 Hi; If I use IDTExtensibility2 & .NET/C#, is there any reason whay I can't use Office 10 instead of Office 11? And if it is ok, what do I change? It looks like I get the office 10 versions of: Microsoft.Office.Core (Office.dll) VBIDE (Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.dll) Word (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll) And are those the correct references to have? thanks - dave Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52688

    - Lots of weirdness - on my computer only Hi; I'm having a bunch of weird things happen with my add-in, but on my machine only. First off, this is a C# add-in that was originally written for VSTO but I switched it to IDTExtensibility2. I did this by creating a new project so VisualStudio made the framework then copying files over. But this may have left some weirdness in the registry. I also had the VSTO solution and the new IDTExtensibility2 solution set to launch Word when I press F5 to debug my add-in. None of these problems happen on any of the test systems - just my system. 1) The #import for the IDTExtensibility2 interface in the shim COM app's stdafx.h stopped finding it. I had to run regsvr32 on the dll containing it (don't remember the name). The thing is - it was working fine for days and just stopped. 2) I can't deserialize data in the add-in. It says it can't find the assembly with the classes in it and lists out the strong name of the needed class. That is identical to the strong name of the class that is calling deserialize. This only happens on my system. 3) If I run the install program on my computer then run debug - I get Word launched twice. But when I look in the registry there is only the entry for the one add-in that the installer put there. (This makes sense if it is running the "installed" version plus what the debugger feeds it - but should that start word twice?) Any ideas? thanks - dave Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52687

    - menu objects disappearing - if 2nd Word, close 1st Word, close document Hi; First off, this is a C# IDTExtensibility2 (not VSTO) add-in - under Word 2003. Ok, here's the really weird bug. Start Word From Word select new document so I get a second instance of Word. Close the first Word application. Close the document in the second instance of word. Now my CommandBarControl objects from the menu I created throw an exception when I try to access their Enabled property. The menu is still there. This does not happen if the first instance of word is the one I close the document in. Any ideas? thanks - dave Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52686

    - TwoPagesOnOne The list of "Language-Specific Properties and Methods" for both Word 2000 and Word 2002 lists TwoPagesOnOne as a property that is available only in Asian or right-left languages. Using the English (US) version of Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003, I was able to make code that seemed to work with TwoPagesOnOne. and the property is available via the GUI in the Page Setup dialog. However. I'm having trouble porting a simple example into a real app. I see at least the following issues: 1. The property setting sometimes won't change. 2. I have trouble using the setting and switching to/from Portrait/Landscape. Indeed, I get invalid parameter messages when doing such switching, in some cases. 3. Worst, it seems that the output gets squashed with consecutive uses. 4. An undocumented setting for the Gutter position."inside", is used. You can see this just by toggling between Portrait and Landscape with "2 pages" selected in the GUI. I do not recall installing any Asian or right-left languages in Word. Is TwoPagesOnOne supposed to work in English(US) Word? Inclusion in the GUI would seem to indicate that it should work. -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site.

    - Adding a search So, I am trying to create a dictionary with my own temrs and definitions. I have created a "Definition" document that contains a 2-column table. First column = Word, second = Meanings/Definitions. I have created a code for my "searc" box: Sub Test() Dim Message, Title, Default, MyValue Message = "Search" ' Set prompt. Title = "Dictionary" ' Set title. ' Display message, title, and default value. MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100) End Sub Now, I am confused with how I can link a search to that box? Would I use an altered form of this code: Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False How then could I link it to the box that I created?

    - Mail merge into single document... Hello All, I am currently developing a visual basic application that will merge a word table datasource and "template" document into a single word document. The datasource (.doc file) contains a single table (dynamically created using Word Object Model in VB) that includes payment line items that are input via another program. This datasource is then programatically merged (using the Word object model) into a "template" document (.doc file) with the corresponding data fields placed appropriately. The problem is that when I perform the merge (either programatically or via the Word GUI) I get the typical line breaks, header repeats, etc. that I would get while doing a mailmerge. I am wondering if it is possible via the merge function (or some other function) to merge the data from the datasource into a single word document without page breaks, repeating headers, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Neil Dittmar Software Developer Aurora Information Systems Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52661

    - Mail Merge Issue - <Next Record> When I set up a mail merge I can get it to work without a problem. The issue I find problematic is the first page of the mail merge contains the <Next Record> on it. If my mail merge will encompass multiple pages only the first page will be merged unless I manually create additional pages by copying the <Next Record> code to the additional pages I need. I am using Word 2003 and merging with an Excel file. Am I suppose to be copying the <Next Record> to all additional pages or am I doing something wrong so that all records in Excel are automatically placed in the Word mail merge? If I am doing it correctly then can I automate the copying of the <Next Record> to all subsequent pages which I will need? If so, how?

    - VB Sorting Macro Alright, I've asked quite a few questions on my quest to figure this VB thing out, but I'm completely stumped now. What I'm trying to do is create a solution for print-tray issue. The QC people want to automate the process of sorting documents that need to be printed on different types of paper, between trays 1 and 2 of an HP 5, for documents that go up into the 200 page range. My solution was to insert a white colored 1 or 2 at the beginning of each page (there's a universal "first-line blank" margin for the documents) that the macro could find and sort accordingly. So I've set up the following macro to search for white- colored characters, and depending upon the results, send the page to tray 1 or tray 2. However, when it searches, it finds either the entire document (which is all black) or it finds nothing. In a seperate test environment, where I had two blank pages and a white 1 on the top of page 1 and a white 2 on the top of page 2, it found both characters and all of the space in between and then still didn't process the sorting portion. I know this code is incomplete (for example, if it were to work right now it'd just send the entire document to each print tray until it was done searching) but basically what I need to know is this: Why doesn't it search one object at a time? Why doesn't it find the '1' at the top of page one, process, and then search for the '2' ? I suspect it has something to do with my coding in of the myRange object. Code: Sub SortPrintTrays() 'Gets page count Dim intPages As Integer intPages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties (wdPropertyPages) 'Creates placeholder for White characters Dim trayMarker As Integer 'Creates variable for the entire document Dim myRange As Range Documents("Document1").Activate Set myRange = ThisDocument.Content 'Test Message MsgBox "This document contains " & Documents.Count & " pages." 'Sorting FOR Loop, finds each White character and prints page accordingly' For Sort = 1 To intPages With myRange.Find .Forward = True .Font.Color = wdColorWhite .Execute If .Found = True Then GoTo out End If End With GoTo startover 'This is the part where it sends the Job to tray 1 or 2, depending upon the FIND results out: MsgBox ("Found " & myRange) If myRange = "1" Then MsgBox ("Printing to Tray 1!") Options.DefaultTrayID = wdPrinterUpperBin ActiveDocument.PrintOut Else MsgBox ("Printing to Tray 2!") Options.DefaultTrayID = wdPrinterLowerBin ActiveDocument.PrintOut End If startover: Next Sort End Sub Thanks. Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52657

    - how to specify the Row Source of a combo box I'm trying to create a combo box in a form in Word 2002, but I can't figure out how to specify the data contents in the Row Source property of the combo box. I tried using online help in Word, but it only talks about referring to the cell address of the range of data as if I were building a combo box in Excel. If I were in Excel or Access, I'd know how to do this. But how do you specify a Row Source for a combo box in Word? That is, where do you put the data, and how do you refer to it in the Row Source property box? Thanks in advance. Paul Tag: Saving a document as and automatically deleting the original Tag: 52646

Hello, people.

Is there a macro that could help me do the following:

I am working on a document named ABC that I have already saved on my
disk and want to save it with a different name, XYZ, while at the same
time getting rid of the ABC document stored on my disk, without having
to delete it by getting to its containing folder using Windows
Explorer.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Hi,
not at the same time, but afterwards.
Remember old name
Oldname = activedocument.fullname
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
Kill oldname
You'll get an error if you cancel the dialog.

Thanks Helmut,

It sure is better than the one I came up with (I am posting it for you
to have a laugh!)

Sub Rename()

ActiveDocument.Save
Dim OldName, NewName
OldName = ActiveDocument.Name: NewName = InputBox("Supply file name",
"Rename", OldName) ' Define file name.
If NewName = "" Then
End
End If
ActiveDocument.Close
Name OldName As NewName
Documents.Open NewName

End Sub

Thanks,
