    - Counting Lines I am pretty new at this, so I ask you not to laugh. I need to count the number of lines in a word document that looks like this: 0ADDRESS W 868543erterter 5103ertert 85 HPS0400 E 2 F120 W 0ADDRESSW 86854ertertertrt 2134ertert 85 HPS0400 E 2 F110 W and it goes on for pages sometimes 100 pages. I need to count the number of lines including empty lines all the way down. I have tried EOF with no luck. Thanks ahead. ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~ View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38096

    - Baffling Find Count Problem I'm trying to count the number of occurences in a given selection of a given word through VBA. Modifying the code on the Word MVP FAQ to do so, I have the following function: Function CountOccurences(strSearch As String, Optional WildCardSwitch As Boolean = True) As Integer ' Counts number of times passed string occurs in selection Dim iCount As Integer ' Initialize counter iCount = 0 With Selection.Find .Text = strSearch .Format = False .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWildcards = WildCardSwitch Do While .Execute iCount = iCount + 1 Loop End With CountOccurences = iCount End Function Pretty straight forward. However, the problem comes when I'm trying to count the occurences of a word only in a selected range... the ranges are broken apart by tags (like SGML). When the first range is selected, CountOccurences() looks for not only the occurences of the word in the given range, but all the way through to the end of the document. When the second range is selected, CountOccurences(), the same thing happens, but the first range is ignored. Likewise for the third, fourth, etc. so that only the last range gives the appropriate count. The ranges are laid out sequentially in the document. The call to CountOccurences() is being made in this code: ' Where CurrentTable is a Range variable CurrentTable.Select intStepCount = CountOccurences("\<tsstep\>*\<\/tsstep\>") This is driving me totally batty. Any help or insight would be terrific. -Dave Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38094

    - Problem inserting string into Text Form Field I am taking Text Field values from an Outlook Form and inserting them into a Text Form Field in a Word Doc. When I try to insert a Description from the Outlook form into a Text Form field in Word I am getting the error, "Run-time error '4609'; String to long". Properties on the Text form field are max len:unlimited and the Description string is not even close to 32,767. Type is Regular Text. My question is why is this happening? Also, is there a better technique for moving the data to Word and inserting the data in exactly the desired position.? Any help is most appreciated. Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38084

    - Replace Word's Error Message I have 2 dot files that load from the startup path. Both contain macros. One file needs to call a macro from the other file. I have this part working fine. What I want is if the user runs the macro that calls the macro from the other file to have a custom error message that says file x is missing and must be loaded in the startup path. I've tried creating my own message using the "on error goto" statement but it isn't working. Word keeps kicking up its message "compile error in hidden module". Any way to stop this message and show my own so that the user actually knows what to do to correct it? Thanks. Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38083

    - Strange field action in protected document We have developed a protected 'form' document that contains what is basically a description of changes to a test web site that need to be reviewed. The document is structured with indentation and font styles to highlight information. The original document, as prepared by the web site team, contains embedded HYPERLINK fields to provide direct access to the test site. In order to tuen this into a form, we replace a special character sequence into a drop-down with an edit fiedd to permit the user to indicate whether the change is approved or rejected and, if rejected, to explain the reasons. The HYPERLINKS are embedded within a MacroButton field to permit them to be invoked from within the protected form. An example is shown below. { MacroButton "FollowLink"{ HYPERLINK http://a.b.c.d/TestSite/Page.html } } Of course, the file also contains a macro named FollowLink that contains the code Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow Normally, this type of field is the first thing on a line of a list with special bullet characters and there is text after the field. In most cases these fields work just fine, simply requiring that the user double-click on the field to cause the specified web page to be displayed in a browser. In one case, however, simply clicking once causes the page to move so that the selected field is in the top 1/3 of the page. Once it is there, double-clicking will then work. As long as that field is in the top 1/3 of the page, this behavior is not exhibited. There are also some of these fields at the end of the document that cause the docuemnt to scroll to a location near the top of the document (I believe that the first drop-down field is being selected) when they are clicked. Since the document is several pages long, this makes it impossible to double-click on these fields. The only thing different about these fields that I can see is that there is no text after them; but even if I add some text they behave the same way. All of the other fields so defined behave as expected. They do not reposition the visible portion of the document and a double-click functions properly. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening and what I can do to stop it? -Ken Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38071

    - Application Error when running Macro on Workbook open I have a multipage form that I'd like to open when a workbook is opened. It reads values from various defined Names of the workbook to populate the form fields. The user can then change the values and on pressing 'OK' button the values should be validated and if appropriate re-copied back into the cells referenced by the Names. This works fine when I display the form from the already opened workbook, but the process fails with Error 1004 ("Application-defined or object-defined error") when the form is called from the Workbook_Open() procedure. The procedure crashes on the following line: ActiveWorkbook.Names(arrControlNames(intCurrentControl, 2)).RefersToRange.Value = _ Controls(arrControlNames(intCurrentControl, 1)).Value Where arrControlNames is an array to store details of text controls and associated name such that arrControlNames(x,1) is the ControlName and arrControlNames(x,2) is the associated RangeName Full code extract is below.

    - Can I evaluate strings during a merge? If I want to do advanced text processing during a merge, like extracting a first initial from the First_Name field or looking for a word in a larger merge field in order to determine what text appears in a final merge document, how can I do this? Possible approaches: Is there a way to include a Field code that automatically runs some VBA code I wrote, so that it is executed and evaluates each record as it is merged, looking at the first character or searching for a word within the text (like Instr in VBA)? Is there a way to just embed those more advanced text commands directly into the Merge main document (the form)? I'm coming at this from WordPerfect where such things were trivial - you could embed any command into the Form document and it would be executed during the merge. The equivalent in Word would be being able to enter VBA commands as Field codes so they are carried out during the merge. As far as I can tell, this is impossible. The next best thing, I think, would be to be able to launch VBA code and pass it parameters during the merge. I cannot figure out how to do this. Maybe I'm looking at the problem all wrong, because I am still thinking like a WordPerfect user. Is there a whole other approach I need to take? Maybe I need to think of the VBA running the merge, instead of the merge calling my VBA code? If so, how would I do that and how would I specify where to do the string processing I need? If you need more information from me to be able to answer my questions, please let me know. Thanks, Colin Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38040

Can this be extended to say the third and fourth character or the information between slashes. For example if I had a table with First Name, Last Name and Date, Greg Maxey 9/14/03 How would one go about creating a macro to extract "G" and create an new column Initial that contains "G" and extract "14" and create a new column Day that contains "14."

    - out of memory problem in code documentor I've been developing a code documentor in Word 97 for some time & finally figured out how to add line numbers to the lines of code exported to a Word document. The line numbering code is run twice because a key word index & a TOC change the line numbers after they have been added. Running a second time corrects the problem, but it only gets half way thru before it runs out of memory. The temporary files left in the Temp folder are huge - the code is VERY long. Is there a more efficient way of doing some of the code to release enough memory for it to finish? I would package the bas files etc or the whole template in a zip if anyone would be kind enough to help & give a few tips on where I could make improvements.

    - Compare Documents problem Word 2000 I have a problem with the Compare Document function of Word 2000 and I was wondering if any one might have a solution or a work around. It involves comparing documents that contain tables. Whenever there is a minor change in a table the result is that the whole row is shown with a strikethrough and a new row below all shown highlighted. This both disguises the changed portion of text (in many cases very minor) and overstates the amount of change. Is there anyway of changing this? Or upgrade the compare document feature of Word 2000 to Word 2002? I realize that Word 2002 and Word XP has solved this problem, however, I am currently working with Word 2000 at work and I don't think the company will be upgrading to Word 2000 or XP any time soon. I use the Compare Document feature of Word 2000 through Microsoft Excel and I was wondering if there are any Visual Basic classes that might mimic what Compare Document does, in which case I can add it to the code of my Excel project.

Problem: I would like to know if it's possible to get Word to find a similar Script file and use it to execute the list of commands therein to open and print a list of Word documents. Of course, the contents of the new Scriptfile would be modified to be Word commands rather than AutoCAD ones, and the list would vary each time. Any ideas would be appreciated.....

    - Macro to pull information out of an email Hi, I am not a programmer so any help in this request would be much appreciated. I am trying to create a macro within a word document that would allow me to paste the subject line of an email that I could select out of outlook. If that is easy enough to do, then the next step would be to save the word document and attach it to the email that I selected for the subject line. Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Shaun Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38009

Can anyone help me? I also tried three =s and then enter for a double line and that didn't work either. Thanks Kay Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38007

    - Inserting WordArt In Headers I am trying to programmatically insert a WordArt object into all the headers in all the sections of a document. I am using the following code: For Each mySection In ActiveDocument.Sections If ActiveDocument.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter Then Set FirstPageWatermark = mySection.Headers (wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Shapes.AddTextEffect (msoTextEffect2, "test", "Arial Black", 36, msoFalse, msoFalse, 0, 0, mySection.Headers (wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range) End If Set PrimaryWatermark = mySection.Headers (wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Shapes.AddTextEffect (msoTextEffect2, "test", "Arial Black", 36, msoFalse, msoFalse, 0, 0, mySection.Headers (wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range) Next In a document set to use a different first page, the result I get is that there are two WordArt objects on the first page and none on the subsequent pages. I suspected it was down to the Anchor property of the shape, but I have messed about with various settings to no avail. I know it can be done using SeekView and moving around the document, but that does not seem very elegant to me - especially when you have to put the document in print layout first and then put it back to whatever the user had originally, etc. Anyone got any better ideas?

    - Deleting Automatic Macro When I installed Office XP - somehow it decided to install a macro for EZ Photo on my standard toolbar in Word. Unfortunately, I don't have the EZPhoto installed on my computer - so I don't know why this came up. Also, each time I open Word, a new EZPhoto button appears on the toolbar. If I haven't removed the button from the tool bar from the last time that I opened Word, it adds another one. So, I keep having to remove the button. How do I get it to stop running this macro? It shows up as "LaunchEasyPhoto.MAIN" in the macro list. I have tried the delete macro steps in the Tools menu, but it won't let me delete the Project Template for EZ Photo. Thanks.

    - Bookmarks in VBA? Hi Folks, How can I loop through the number of bookmarks in a document assigning the name to a VAR and output it to a file? It's mainly the parsing of the bookmark name from the bookmark property I need as I can do teh rest from there. I can loop through the file holding the names of the bookmark and add them to a doc but I can't seem to retrieve them! Cheers J p.s. here's what I tried If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count > 1 Then BKMCount = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count ReDim aMarks(BKMCount) i = 0 For i = 0 To BKMCount Step 1 aMarks = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Item(i) Next i filename = "C:\test2.txt" filenumber = FreeFile Open filename For Input As #filenumber On Err GoTo Closefile Do While Not (EOF(filenumber)) Input #filenumber, aMarks(i) i = i + 1 Loop Closefile: Close #filenumber Tag: Select file to open Tag: 38001

    - Cleaning up and more instances of WORD I have a VB6 program looping through DOC-files in a folder making some statistics on the DOC-files in a Excel-sheet. When the program is runing I can NOT use WORD for other purposes because the DOC-files then open in this instans of Word - sample snip: Set WrdDoc = WrdApp.Documents.Open(App.Path & "\" & FileN) ', , , , , , , , , , , False) . . . gathering some statistics til an Excel-sheet . WrdDoc.Close False Set WrdDoc = Nothing IF I use the parameter Visible=False (commented out here!) I can NOT use the "WrdDoc.Close False" If I comments out the "WrdDoc.Close False" I get ALL tilde- workfiles visible (and it's 10.000'd of files !) How can I clean up nicely by closing each opened document AND use Word for other purposes WITHOUT opening the documents in this extra instance of Word ?

    - Parameterized Macro and Open in Browser Hello, I'm trying to take a word document and write a paramterized macro that can be called from client-side javascript to (ideally) open the word document in the browser while supplying the parameter. I almost had it working outside of the browser, except everytime I try to add a parameter to the Macro (in NewMacros) word doesn't recognize it. If I take it out of NewMacros and place it somewhere like ThisDocument's code, I can't seem to be able to run the code to test it. Can anyone provide some guidance???

    - Excel Links - File Size Problem I have a Word file which has a large number of links to an Excel spreadsheet. There are about 150 such links. The contents of the Word file are otherwise not very great – about 24 pages of text with a lot of empty space. The size of the file is now 8.3 megabytes, which is much bigger than it should be. I believe the size should be roughly 1 to 1.5 megabytes. In fact the size seemed to suddenly shoot up from 1.2 to 8.3 megabytes after I added the last 4 or 5 Excel links. The large size of the file obviously makes it very time consuming to open and save and generally work on it. Does anybody have any ideas on why the size is so large? Any suggestions about how I can clear out any junk that may be in the file and reduce the size? I tried copying the contents to a new document but that did not make any difference. My thanks to Cindy and Doug of this newsgroup who enabled me to update the Excel file links in this file. Any help with this file size problem would be greatly appreciated.

For example, say my current selection is at outline level "2.1.7", the .OutlineLevel property only returns "2". I need the full Outline level data, e.g. "2.1.7". Tag: Select file to open Tag: 37974
