    - Macro in document availablke only to one user I have written a macro in a document on a shared network drive. When I open any document, I can see and run the macro as the macros are in the Normal.dot. The other two people do NOT see and cannot run the macro. The actual VBA is in the Normal.Dot. The macro (atcually series of macros) rebuilds the "master" document out of a collection of individual documents. Basically it insert a series of files into the "master" document and then creates a hyperlinked TOC. Does everything we want it to do in terms of rebuidling the document. Even wehn I take this Normal.Dot and drop it into their "My Documents" where their original Normal.Dot was kept, they still can't see these macros. I had them both set their Macro Security to low. So that is not an issue. I have exported the two modules to .BAS files. Do I need to import them to their copy of Normal.Dot even though I copied my Normal.Dot into their "My Documents"?

    - Trying to import Excel Spreadsheet into Word I have used Excel to develop a form to be printed on legal sized paper. There are 11 columbs and 104 rows. The columbs are various widths and all together are 8 1/4 inches wide. The rows are symetrical at 9.00 pixels and fit in 14". When I cut and paste to Word, the cells do not hold their formatting. And merged cell do not behave as the do in Excel. Does anyone know the proper sequence for getting this .XLS spreadsheet into .DOC format with all cells still funtioning properly?

    - How to take text from RichTextBox in VB6 to Word object? Hi! There, I have an application which has RichTextbox in it. Now, I need to produce word document which has text with the same format as the RichTextBox. Suppose, user has typed a letter with formatting like Bold, Underline, color etc. Now, I would like to create a word document which should have the same text and formatting. When I take TextRTF to a string variable and write it into word document it doesn't work. It shows all the formatting characters too..... This can be done using Clipboard. But, I would like to avoid clipboard if possible. Any suggestion(s) or answer(s) Thanks in advance, Ritesh. Tag: Start of Word does not fire AutoExec-macro Tag: 63647

    - Disappearing text when doing a paste Hello all, Having a problem coping data from one document to another. I need to automate the following task. I have a document that my customer opens and clicks a button that does a copy. When the button is clicked, I need the following to happen. The file open dialog box displays so they can pick the file that has data to be copied from The selected file is opened Data from an enclosed bookmark in the newly opened file is copied The data is then pasted to a bookmark location in the intial document I have this working, the problem is when I do the past into the initial document, it deletes all the text in the document and then paste the new text. What am I doing wrong?? I needed to be sure the copied data retains all formatting, like bullet list, etc. My code is listed below. thanks Sub Copy_Description() Dim DescriptionDoc As Document Dim pTarget As Range Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show Set DescriptionDoc = ActiveDocument Set pTarget = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM_TheDescription").Range.FormattedText pTarget.Copy If ThisDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("BM_Description") Then ThisDocument.Bookmarks("BM_Description").Select ThisDocument.Range.Paste End If ActiveDocument.Close End Sub Tag: Start of Word does not fire AutoExec-macro Tag: 63627

    - Adding TextBox Shapes becomes slow I need to add about 200 TextBox Shapes to a document through Visual Basic using Word 9.0 Library The Code i use is: Set textBox22 = wordDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) Then i add formatting: With textBox22 .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "sdfgsf" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With This all works like a charm... except it works SLOOOOOOOW The first 30 or so controls are added at a reasonable speed (i have a counter and a progressbar to monitor the process) After that it starts to slow down more and more.... On textbox 150 it adds about one textbox per second... Very Slow!!!!! I tried following: Turned off spelling and grammar checking, Word app is not visible while textboxes are added, I even used LockWindowUpdate TOGETHER with ScreenUpdating = False. Didn't help. Still slow.... Here's the code for you to try. Visual Basic 6.0. Add a reference to the Word library before running the code. Add a progressbar to Form1 and name it PB1. The code adds 300 textboxes to a word document and sets margins and font format options. if you comment the formatting (all With..End With) the code runs faster. P.S. I HAVE tried it on different computers, and no they were not 486, but decent p4 machines. And it must be done from outside, thus i can't use the code from within a word macro. [CODE] Dim wA As Word.Application Dim wD As Word.Document Private Sub Command1_Click() PB1.Min = 1 'PROGRESSBAR PB1.Max = 300 Dim ttt As Word.Shape, y As Long y = 10 wA.ScreenUpdating = False For i = 1 To 300 PB1.Value = i y = y + 18 Set tB = wD.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) With tB .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "Sample Text" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With Next wA.ScreenUpdating = True wA.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Set wA = New Word.Application wA.Options.CheckGrammarAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = False wA.Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckHangulEndings = False 'wA.Options.Pagination = False Set wD = wA.Documents.Add wD.Activate wD.ShowSpellingErrors = False wD.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False End Sub Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer) On Error Resume Next wA.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub Tag: Start of Word does not fire AutoExec-macro Tag: 63623

Also if the client listing has the same person with 2 different values I am supposed to just list the 2 different values and not create 2 different word documents.

    - Saving Word doc as XML from VBScript I am new to VBScript, and automating Word, so I'm probably doing something dumb. I have a series of Word documents that I need to save in XML format. There are hundreds, so I need to do it automatically. I have the following VBScript (clearly doesn't handle the hundreds issue, but it won't work on one file yet): '========================== ' Script starts dim inFile dim outfile ' Define intput and output file paths inFile = "D:\My Documents\TestData\Test.doc" outfile = "D:\My Documents\TestData\Test.xml" ' Start Microsoft Word... dim w set w = createobject("word.application") ' Visibility will ultimately be false w.visible = true ' Open a document as read only dim d set d = w.documents.open (inFile, False, True) ' Save it as XML d.SaveAs outfile, wdFormatXML w.Quit ' Script ends '=================== The output file gets saved to the correct name, but not in XML format. What I end up with is a Word document with an .xml extension. If I rename the file to have a .doc extension it opens in word. When I do the same thing manually by opening the file then selecting File | SaveAs and selecting the XML Document type option, it works as expected and I get an actual XML output file.

    - VBA table sort using Date fails I am sorting a table using the following parms: excludeHeader:=True, FieldNumber:=1, SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldDate, sortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending In Word 2003 (but NOT in 2000) if there are blank lines following the header line, the sort does nothing. If I delete the lines and redo the sort it is fine. If I then Undo the changes and redo the sort, it works fine. If I then close the file without saving changes, and then reopen it, the sort continues to work fine. The only way to get the problem back is to close Word entirely and start again.

Hi Bo,

is Word the Outlook editor there?
Even activating the spell-checker in Outlook
might be enough, as this creates an instance of word.

Thanks Helmut,

You are probably right.
Any ideas how to handle cases like that?
