    - How to merge two raw rtf documents? Hello All, We need to merge two rtf documents automatically without the user seeing. The combined product of this merge is then shown to the user. Currently we : open the docs using notepad, remove the last outer brace from the first doc and the first outer brace from the second. We then save them to a new rtf text document and then open this in word. However this is causing problems with font tables and other items in the headers of the rtf. We have tested using Word automation but want to know if there is any other way or a recommended way of doing this? We currently do the merging of the rtf on the server side. Moving to using Word Automation will mean we need to rely on the COM component server side which as the following link shows is not a good idea: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757#kb2 We are considering moving the merging client side and therefore we can use Word automation but this does add extra time to the client viewing the document. I presume that the method of merging the rtf by removing the braces is a complete no no? Has anyone ever tried doing it this way? If we can categorically rule this out we can push forward with the Word Automation. Thanks for your help Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88959

    - Extract doc into text with 75 char line length Does anhyone know of a VBA command that will take a Word doc paragraph and convert it to (approx) 80n chars in width, while splitting the line at the end of a word (ie, not to split at exactly 80 chars, but to split at the last full word before the 80 chars is reached). My problem is that we export the Word doc text into a database by extracting the textual content (as ascii text) and the database app cannot present the wider lines betyond 80 chars. I need to split the lines at the 80 (or less) char mark and insert a CRLF so the db app can handle it for display. Much appreciated. Terry Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88947

    - Automatically insert date when user selects from a form drop-down I am using Word 2003 and have created a form for users to complete. I would like to have a field that automatically inserts today's date when a user changes their selection in a drop-down field. For example, if a user selects a particular status from the status drop-down, the corresponding status date field is automatically updated to today's date. A user may not necessarily select a new status each time they open the document, so it has to be specific to the corresponding drop-down. Thanks! Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88946

    - Deleting objects on page If a document has a number of pages and one of those pages has a number of objects (in this case text boxes) how can I select these and then delete them, please? There is an "Ah, yes but..." factor here: these pages have a very deep top margin of about 9 cm. The objects are located in that space between the top margin and the top edge of the paper. My code of: Activedocument.bookmarks("\page").Range.Select Selection.Delete ...removes everything within the boundaries of the page's margins but nothing outside of these. Is there a way of selecting these extra-marginal objects, please? Regards Roderick Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88944

    - Smart Tag/XML to create doc that compiles sections from multiple d I have several reports that are arranged into four sections, (s1, s2, s3, s4). I am looking for a way to be able to create a document that pulls the text/charts from each section on each report. I was thinking that XML smart tagging would be what I would need to do, but I don't know how to create an application or a "transform" that would pull the data. Ideally, I would want to be able to create an ad hoc document that would pull and arrange all the s1 sections from each report, and arrange them into one fluid report; or be able to pull data from s1 and s3 and do the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88932

    - Reliable Character counts without opening word I need to get reliable character counts from documents submitted in word format. *Reading them from structured storage isn't reliable, as by default fast saves are enabled and the count isn't up to date as far as I can tell. *Word on Macs doesn't save using structured storage. Opening word is to expensive to do to get counts with doc.Characters.Count() 5000 openings of word crushed the system last year, and noone wants to by 10 more servers just to open word. I have thougth of keeping word running and opening/closing documetns as necessary, but that is still a lot of Processor time. Aside from that Characters.Count counts Paragragh symbols and other things that aren't Charaters to the final print layout. Is there a standard way to get Char counts from word documents composed on different platforms without opening word everytime? ANd if I have to buy 10 copies of word and 10 servers to get character counts is there a way to get them reliably without counting markup characters as characters? TIA for any advice or direction. ~reed Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88930

    - Use "Read Only" Parameter in FileOpen DDE Function with Office 200 Could anyone provide information please how to use the "Read Only" Parameter with the FileOpen DDE Function? Articles on the internet (e.g. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReadOnlyPrintMsg.htm) suggest that this is possible, the version used here (Office 2003 11.6359.6360 SP1) interprets all options also as part of the filename, which then results in an "File not found". This is the snipped from the article that describes the suggested changes to the "Folder settings"-dialog (DOC filetype): ----- Change the DDE Message to: [REM _DDE_Minimize][FileOpen("%1",,1)][t=IsDocumentDirty()][FilePrint 0][SetDocumentDirty t][DocClose] Note, you're really just changing the FileOpen code from [FileOpen("%1") to [FileOpen("%1",,1) Change DDE Application NOT Running to: [FileOpen("%1",,1)][FilePrint 0][FileExit 2] Note: same change. ----- This just not works with the version here.

    - Adding logos to document I've concocted the following macro. The idea is that the user prints the current document onto headed paper but then if they want to email it (as an attachment) and therefore want the logo on the document the macro fetches the "pictures" from another document. 1) It feels "cludgy". Is there a more elegant way of achieving this result? 2) I've tested it on Word 2002. It will be installed (tomorrow?) on Word 2003 - should I expect it to work? 3) There are around 30 users on a network who need access to it. Is it better installed locally or on the network? I assume Gobal templates is where it should go? 4) How do I find out what the picture numbers are? So far I only know by recording a macro and then seeing the result. Many thanks.

    - How to enable envelope in a protected document I was wondering if somebody could help me finish this macro to work correctly. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to run the envelopes and labels with a protected document. I found a macro to spell check a protected document and that worked great, at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm I then tried taking this macro and making it work for envelopes and labels. I came fairly close, I can run the macro and the envelopes and labels dialog box will pop up and if the user has a name and address it will bring that into the envelope dialog box. If the user hits print it will print it correctly and then close the dialog box and then protect the document. If the user it's cancel they get an run-time error and the document doesn't get protected. Here is what I have and maybe if we can get this to work correctly maybe this could be posted on the MVPS site for "How to enable envelopes and labels in a protected document" Option Explicit Dim Cancelled As Boolean, MyRange As Range, CorrectedError As String Sub WSNEnvelope() ' ' WSNEnvelope Macro ' Macro created 7/25/2006 by WSN ' Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range, oDoc As Document 'If no documents open, quit macro If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Set OriginalRange = Selection.Range System.Cursor = wdCursorWait 'Now unprotect the document oDoc.Unprotect Password:="wsnforms" Application.Run Macroname:="ToolsCreateEnvelope" If Cancelled Then Exit Sub 'Re-protect the document oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, _ Password:="wsnforms" 'oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True OriginalRange.Select Application.ScreenRefresh 'Release variables from memory System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal Cancelled = False CorrectedError = vbNullString Set MyRange = Nothing End Sub Thanks Brent Morris Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88918

    - Run the Same Macro on Multiple Files I'm proud of myself. I actually came up with a very useful Word VBA macro without having to ask anyone how to do it: Sub Macro2() Dim theFileName As String theFileName = Dir("C:\Temp\*.htm") Do While Len(theFileName) > 0 ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp\" Documents.Open FileName:=theFileName Application.Run MacroName:="Normal.NewMacros.Macro1" ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp2\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=theFileName, _ FileFormat:=wdFormatFilteredHTML ActiveWindow.Close theFileName = Dir Loop End Sub This time-saving macro opens an .htm file in "C:\Temp", edits it by running a macro called "Macro1", and then saves it as an .htm file by the same name in folder "C:\Temp2". Then it automatically repeats the procedure for all of the other .htm files in folder "C:\Temp". I found out how to do the above for one file by recording a macro while going through the procedure manually, but this didn't tell me how to perform the operation on multiple files automatically. For that information I did a search and found the following old posting on this same amazing news-group (microsoft.public.word.vba.general): http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.vba.general/msg/0b1408cc4f19cd26 Hooray for Google Groups!

    - using vba to delete part of a document I've got a group of letters that are generated through a mail merge with an excel file. These letters are to various entities and contain a listing of specific incidents that they were involved in. Since I wanted to just have one template and since the number of incidents per letter will vary, I simply created a template that had X number of incident placeholders and when the merge was performed, the placeholders were only populated up to the number of incidents that particular entity had. For example, right now the template has 39 placeholders because that happens to be the largest number of incidents in any one letter. If I merge the data for an entity who has 6 incidents, then the resulting letter will contain those 6 incidents, followed by 33 incident placeholders that contain no data. Currently, I have to go back in to each letter and delete the "extra" placeholders that are left over from the mail merge. (I know, I know..there is probably a much easier way for me to do all of this from the outset, but this is what I'm currently stuck with.) I've managed to place an identifier in the excel file so that when the data is merged into letters, this identifier is always found after the last incident in the letter...thus I know that everything after the identifier until the language at the bottom of the letter that is the same for all the letters can be deleted...that is, all the rest of the incidents are simply blank placeholders. What I would like to be able to do is create a macro that will go through a letter and remove those placeholders for me. I'm thinking along these lines, but I don't know how to make Word do this: 1. Find the identifier in the letter and move the cursor there. 2. Mark where the cursor is. 3. Find the beginning text at the bottom of the letter that marks the ending of the incident placeholders and place the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph. 4. Mark where the cursor is. 5. Now delete everything that is between the first and second marks. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Or possibly even a better way to go about it? -Brian Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88876

    - Symbol font chars changing to "(" after passing through VBA Regex I've been having some trouble with characters in Symbol font converting to "(" when the paragraph which contains them is altered using VBA Regular Expressions. I'm using the Range.Text object because the FormattedText object will not work (for me, anyway) with Regex. The characters are fine if only a match is done. However, once any kind of substitution is performed in the paragraph, the characters "break". Has anyone else out there encountered this? If so, have you come up with any work arounds?

    - Questions regarding Userform/Macro Hello, it's been a while since I've posted my problems here :D but I'm still having the same ones... I've got a macro that will insert a form number in a document (where ever the cusor is) and it works well. When I tried insert the option to omit the last page from printing I ran into issues with variables (as in I'm not sure how to use them correctly). The code uses multiple message boxes to get all the info required and Jezebel suggested using a userform. I've got that created but I'm not sure how to go about setting it up for use with my macro (assigning buttons/fields). I'm discovering that I may be in a little over my head with this stuff so your help would be GREATLY appreciated :D I'll post the code for the macro, the userform, and the "omit last page print" code that Jezebel suggested. Can you help me combine these to hopefully work using the userform. Thanks :) Here's the code for the macro: Dim NumCopies As String Dim StartNum As String Dim Counter As Long Dim oRng As Range If MsgBox("The copy number will appear at the insertion point." _ & " Is the cursor at the correct position?", _ vbYesNo, "Placement") = vbNo Then End If ActiveDocument.Saved = False Then If MsgBox("Do you want to save any changes before" & _ " printing?", vbYesNoCancel, "Save document?") _ = vbYes Then ActiveDocument.Save End If End If StartNum = Val(InputBox("Enter the starting number.", _ "Starting Number", 60099444)) NumCopies = Val(InputBox("Enter the number of copies that" & _ " you want to print", "Copies", 1)) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="CopyNum", Range:=Selection.Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("CopyNum").Range Counter = 0 If MsgBox("Are you sure that you want to print " _ & NumCopies & " numbered " & " copies of this document", _ vbYesNoCancel, "On your mark, get set ...?") = vbYes Then While Counter < NumCopies oRng.Delete oRng.Text = StartNum Dim sCurrentPrinter As String Dim sFormPrint As String sCurrentPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter Application.ActivePrinter = "\\AMPACPRINT\05025_82_9k on NE02:" Application.PrintOut Application.ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter StartNum = StartNum + 1 Counter = Counter + 1 Wend End If End Sub Here's the code for the "omit last page": Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to print the last page?", vbYesNoCancel) Case vbYes ActiveDocument.PrintOut Case vbNo ActiveDocument.PrintOut From:=1, To:=ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Number of pages") - 1 Case Else End Select And finally the userform code...

    - Getting it all out of word. Hi, I am wanting to write a converter to convert a word document to an ActiveReport. To do this I need to get everything out of a word document. For example TABLES: I need to get position, columns, rows and size of table TEXT: the text plus all formating (bold, underlined, font, size etc) As long as at the other end I get a file that looks exactly like the word document. Is there a way to loop through the document? I have looked at looping through tables cell by cell but am not sure if there is a way to guarantee getting everything from a word document. Thanks in Advance. Stephen M Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88823

    - form field calculation trouble I've been all over the forums and newsgroups on this and am making 0 progress. This seems like it should be pretty simple but it's giving me loads of grief. I have a Word 2003 dot file set for filling in forms. It has 2 form fields for the user to fill in a quantity and a price. There needs to be a 3rd field that will show the result. I've tried doing this using a macro and I've tried it using a calculation in the 3rd field Nothing works. Also, every time I set the bookmark name in one of them it randomly goes blank the next time I open the dot file so I can editi it. Yes, the first 2 fields are set to calculate on exit. Yes, the 3rd field is not allowed to be filled in. field 1 (form text): Type = Number, Max length = 5, number format = #,##0.00, Bookmark = NumAdultTickets, Fill-in enabled = true, Calculate on exit = true field 2 (form text): Type = Number, Max length = 5, number format = #,##0.00, Bookmark = CostPerAdultTickets, Fill-in enabled = true, Calculate on exit = true I created field 3 by using CTRL+F9: Then I right clicked it and chose "Edit Field". I clicked the "formula" button and in the "Formula" box I typed =NumAdultTickets*CostPerAdultTicket. I set the number format to #,##0.00. After clicking "OK" I see this in my table cell: {{=NumAdultTickets*CostPerAdultTicket \#"#,##0.00"}} I set the dot file to protected for filling in forms and saved it. Then I double clicked the dot file to create a new doc file from it. When I fill in the first 2 fields nothing happens in the 3rd. It's just blank. I'm an experienced VB, FoxPro, Access, Delphi, SQL programmer. It sucks trying to get stuff like this to work. It's not logical. What am I doing wrong? Please don't refer me to Dian Chapman's series of articles. I've looked them over and they seem to only cover initially creating the form and some fields and then writing vba for it. VBA seems overkill for simple calculations here. Everything I've read indicates that what I'm doing above should work. Thanks for any help you can give, Keith Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88815

    - build custom document from longer doc Starting with a 50 page document, I would like to build a 2 page customized document, a subset, using the standard paragraphs from the larger document. I would like to have a checklist, headings or a table of contents that will give me the selections to choose from. Ideally these selections would be questions whose answers determine which paragraphs I will need to build the custom document. Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88802

    - Interop.Word.Paragraph.Style Question Hi all, I'm using Interop.Word in order to retrieve all paragraph styles of a word document. However, once I use the code such as: "object style = document.Paragraphs[i].Style;" The Visual Studio compiler display: "Property, indexer, or event 'Style' is not supported by the language; try directly calling accessor methods 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph.get_Style()' or 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph.set_Style(ref object)' " I think it's about managed code and unmanaged code conflict, but I've no idea how to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks Forum. Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88799

    - Hyperlink in Word calling from an excel spreadsheet Ok, I must do a little explaining first. I have a form, which collects the path of a given Word file and stores it in an excel cell. Then I have a module in excel transfer the contents of the cells to bookmarks in a word template file, then saves the word [template] document in the folder containing the excel file. I would like to the path of the file to be displayed as a hyperlink in word. Here is my code for making it a hyperlink: Dim wdApp As Word.Application Dim wdDoc As Word.Document Dim strText As String Set wdApp = New Word.Application Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(Range("Data!Word").Offset(0, 1).Value, , True, , , , , , , , , True) wdDoc.Activate DoEvents UpdateBookmarkText wdDoc, "wMSProjectLoc", Range("TestInfo!SMSProjectLoc").Offset(0, 1).Value Dim MShyperlink As Word.Range Set MShyperlink = wdDoc.Bookmarks("wMSProjectLoc").Range wdDoc.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=MShyperlink, Address:=MShyperlink, TextToDisplay:=MShyperlink wdDoc.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Summary.doc" The update bookmarktext is a command from a differnt part of the module, but basically, it just puts the text from the excel cell into a designated bookmark in the word document template. My problem is this: When it makes the link, the path is screwed up. It will show up as a link, but the path given is actually... C:/mydocs/excelworkbookfolder/FORMTEXT/actuallinkfromcellinexcel.doc Why does FORMTEXT actually mean, and how do I get the link to be just the path in the cell, and not that whole long thing. Also, the text displayed when I don't make it a hyperlink is just the text contained in the cell. Tag: Spell Check Macro in Forms Tag: 88769

    - Which sub does a toolbar call? I took over the support of Word macros done by other people and they were heavy on the toolbars. The problem I'm having is I have all these toolbars I need to debug and I can't figure out which sub they call.

I created a form with form fields a few months ago and it is protected. I
got a call from a uset stating they could not spell check the info they
typed. I did some research and found a Spell Check code and I pasted it into
the code for Visual Basic, but I could nver get the Macro to work. I then
decided to just record a basic macro of spell check. I inserted it on my
toolbar and change it from text to a button. I typed on the form and clicked
the button to test it, but it took me to Visual Basic instead of checking the
document. Help! How can I get this to work - I have never used Visual Basic
before, so I'm a bit lost.

From the spelling.grammar FAQ:

4. How can I spell-check protected forms
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm

I doubt anyone here will spend much time with your macro. They will spend no
time on it if you don't post the code. The one on the page above is
rock-solid and works in Word 97 - Word 2003. It is the product of many many
hours by experienced programmers.
