Has anyone ever encountered a prioblem like this before, Or know a solution A table cell in a word doc contains multiple address lines, created using the code below in a template. The address loooks just fine in Word and even in print preview, but on the actual paper on the first line appears. Also intermittent , works ok on some printers. Users have found a workaround, cut the address then paste it back before printing. Any thoughts ?

    - Save Word document to a database For memo type fields in my database I want to be able to use word as the editor. I have a Visual studio 2005 forms based application that interacts with the database listed invoices etc.. I would like to be able to invoke word as the editor for description type fields similar to how outlook uses word for it's message editor. Does anyone have any examples, sample code, or concepts regarding how to go about doing this? I am thinking of an approach that would use VSTO. I would have an edit button on the application that would say invoke word to edit. The application would retrieve the memo data from the database ( I am thinking that perhaps I should store the description in HTML format), invoke word, load the data into word. Then muck with the menus and capture the save and save as commands and write code to save the data to my database instead of a file. I am having trouble figuring out exactly how to go about loading the data into word and getting the data to save it back out to the database. Thanks Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86284

    - Gremlin space in string data With the extensive help of Jay Freedman and Jonathan West, I am beginning to understand color in Word. I have put together a macro for extracting the Long and RBG value of a color selected in the Format>Borders and Shading>Shading dialog. I have one problem. For some odd reason there is an extra space in the second message box dispaly: oColorRBG = Str$(rVal) & ", " & Str$(gVal) & ", " & Str$(bVal) MsgBox "Color long value: " & oColorLng MsgBox "Color RBG value: (" & oColorRBG & ")" For "Red" is should dispay: Color RBG value: (255, 0, 0) but it is coming out Color RBG value: ( 255, 0, 0) I can't figure out how to close up the space between the ( and 255. I realize that this is a minor nit, but would like to figure it out just the same. Thanks. Here is the complete code: Sub QuickAndEasyColorData() Dim oDoc As Word.Document Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oDoc = Documents.Add Set oRng = oDoc.Range Dim oColorLng As Long Dim rVal As Long Dim gVal As Long Dim bVal As Long Dim oColorRBG As String oRng.InsertAfter "Sample Text" oRng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, -1 Application.ScreenRefresh oRng.Select With Dialogs(wdDialogFormatBordersAndShading) If .Show = -1 Then .Execute Application.ScreenRefresh oColorLng = oRng.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor rVal = oColorLng Mod 256 bVal = Int(oColorLng / 65536) gVal = Int((oColorLng - (bVal * 65536) - rVal) / 256) oColorRBG = Str$(rVal) & ", " & Str$(gVal) & ", " & Str$(bVal) MsgBox "Color long value: " & oColorLng MsgBox "Color RBG value: (" & oColorRBG & ")" End If End With oDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86269

    - Toolbar Hell Help, I'm in Toolbar Hell. I've been working on creating a Toolbar that floats on top or docks per the user's choice. My experimental Toolbar is named MacroXToolbar and contains the code that I showed in my previous post, "CoolBar or MacroX Code for Floating Toolbar?" This code was in my Normal.dot file, which shows up in the IDE as New Macros. I dutifully saved via cut'n'paste all the code from New Macros in text files so that it would be easy to revert back to a previous version of Normal.dot. Now I'm getting a bunch of grief anyway, and restoring to a previous New Macros state doesn't help. When I right click on Word's regular toolbar to see what toolbars are available, MacroXToolbar is listed numerous times. All these dupe toolbars are there even if I completely comment out all the code I was using in Normal.dot/NewMacros. I clicked on: Tools ===> Customize ===> Toolbars tab, and then scrolled down and deleted every occurrence of MacroXToolbar. That worked while I was in the Word document, but as soon as I exited and restarted Word, they were all back again. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Word. No luck. I get the k'zillion MacroXToolbars even if all the code I was using is completely removed from New Macros, so obviously these multiple nuisance toolbars are saved somewhere where I didn't realize I was saving them. If I hit Tools ===> Templates and Add-ins and then uncheck everything there, I STILL get the phantom MacroXToolbars. And, btw, if I bring up one of these toolbars and then click on it, nothing happens, which is to be expected since I've commented out all the code. Obviously there's something I'm missing. I inadvertently created this monster, and would be very grateful for any tips offered on how to slay it. Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86265

    - Word is sluggish Word is sluggish. It is trying to do something in the background that slows me donw. For example: I am working in a five-page document with a few embedded pictures and Word is just sluggish. Evrytime I type something in, it starts crunching something in the background; I can not see the place holder until Word has finished whatever it is doing. While Word is stalling, one can see a little book icon turning its pages on the left of the status bar at the bottom. When Word is finished whatever it was doing, a red cross appears over the book. I would like to stop this process, but I do not know how. I tried right click on the book icon, and it opened the spell check options. But unchecking the spell/grammar checks did not resolve the issue. I opened the Windows Task Manager and I see WINWORD.EXE taking up ~50% of the CPU activity (the other ~50% are taken by the System idle process). Can any body help me to regain control of this runaway Word? Thanks, Victor G. Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86261

    - access the numbering on document with ActiveDocument.Sections(1).r Hello - I am a newbie.. so this might be an easy question! I want a variable to have a value that represents an all text version of the activedocument. This is what I am currently using to assign the value to the variable: ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range That works just fine... except it excludes the numbering from the document. I really need the numbering to be in the text. How would I do that. It seems to me that this should maybe do it: JavaScriptArray = ActiveDocument.Lists(1).Range.ListFormat or this.. JavaScriptArray = ActiveDocument.StoryRanges(wdMainTextStory) Or some variation of one of the three. They ALL exclude the numbering. I have feverishly searched for a solution.

    - Word 2000 Print Events Hi, I am using Visual Studio.net 2003 with Word 2000 to automate the printing of several documents. I have run into a problem where I need to close the current document after it has been printed, but the document is being closed before it has been sent to the printer (see code sample below). I really need some sort of AfterPrint event to clean up after the document has been printed, but the Word object model does not expose an AfterPrint event. Is there another event or property I could use which would be suitable for this? The only alternative I can think of is to introduce a pause of a few seconds to give the document time to spool.

    - use of "auto-correct" to speed up typing. As a lawyer, I use the auto-correct facility to speed up typing, by putting two or three letter abbreviations for much longer words or phrases, such as "ic" for "Information Commissioner", or "ccc" for the name of the current client I am doing some work for. It would be more useful if particular abbreviations could be confined to particular files or sub-directories, so that, say, the same abbreviation "ccc" could be used to mean something else when I was working on a different case whose documents I store in a different sub-directory. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - CoolBar or MacroX Code for Floating Toolbar? I'm writing utility for Word that needs to have a floating and dockable toolbar. A regular form won't do the trick because the gizmo is pretty much useless unless the user can edit his/her document while this toolbar either floats or is docked at the top. This toolbar will have a few buttons and a combo box from which the user will select what commands to run. I've used the Toolbar together with the ImageList ActiveX control extensively in regular VB 6, but I've never used the Coolbar control. I've skimmed MSDN and O'Reilly's VB Controls in a Nutshell, and it appears that you use the inside of the Coolbar to put whatever buttons you want to onto your floating toolbar, and that the Coolbar is what allows you to make your toolbar floating or docked. I have code from a previous VB project that contains subs that help the user to remove or add buttons to and from a Toolbar. So, is it a slam dunk that the best approach is for me to use the Toolbar, the ImageList, and the Coolbar for my VBA project? That's what I'm unsure about. First, I'd like to know if there are any gotchas when using ActiveX controls in VBA. I've only used them in regular VB. Second, I'm wondering if it's feasible to create this thing without any ActiveX controls. I searched the news group's archives for "floating toolbar" and found some code that creates a floating and dockable toolbar with what is intrinsically available in VBA. (I'm posting it at the end of this message.) I'm intrigued. Is it somehow possible to use this code I've found to programattically instantiate buttons and a ComboBox? If so, what MSDN/archive search/3rd party VBA material do I need to be reading up in so that I can get a solid understanding on how to do this? Or am I better off doing the Toolbar/ImageList/Coolbar thing? I appreciate any help offered. cheers, Tom The Code: Option Explicit Public Sub AutoExit() 'Runs whenever MacroX is unloaded as a global template, or when 'Word exits 'Removes the toolbar On Error Resume Next 'remove the toolbar if it is still there CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Delete End Sub Public Sub AutoExec() 'Runs whenever MacroX is loaded as a global template 'Creates the MacroX toolbar Dim cbb As CommandBarButton On Error Resume Next 'delete the command bar in case it already exists CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Delete 'create toolbar and add a button On Error GoTo 0 CommandBars.Add("MacroXToolBar").Visible = True Set cbb = _ CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Controls.Add _ (Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1) With cbb .Caption = "MacroX" .FaceId = 630 'a picture for the button, pick any one you like .OnAction = "SetUpMacroX" .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption 'or choose just to display Caption End With End Sub Public Sub AutoOpen() 'Executes whenever MacroX is opened Call AutoExec End Sub Public Sub AutoClose() Call AutoExit End Sub Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86185

Today, the program is very simple and only inserts text: oWord = CreateObject("Word.Basic") ... ... oWord.Insert("Text......") But what I need is to align that text (Left, Center, Right, Justify) and make some other changes Thanks Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86175

    - macro to change to another font I've used vba, but never with word. I usually work with Arial or Times fonts. I do a lot of music theory writing, so I need to use Yo Tomita's bach font for characters. I would like to streamline the process of changing the font and returning to the original font, often with the next character. For instance, if I want to describe and E-flat chord, I would like to type "E" then perhaps [alt-z] which changes the font to bach, @ (which gives me the flat sign) then [alt-x] to return to the orignal font. Seems like two separate keyboard-shortcut macros to me. Should I be looking at this another way? Andy Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86174

    - Can I do this in a toolbar? Hi -- There are a couple of page set up settings that I would like to be able to see on a toolbar for any document I am in -- the page size (e.g. letter or A4) and the paper tray source for printing. Would be extra cool if I could use the buttons to change the settings as well, like with a drop-down list, similar to changing font size or that kind of thing. Closest thing I can find in the standard buttons is the "page setup" button, but I can't find any standard buttons for the individual settings in the page setup area. Even if the button could just display the current info, and then I'd have to click the page setup button if I needed to change the settings, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone can offer! Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86170

    - Waiting for Document to load I am creating a word document that basically analyzes other word documents that contain UAT test resuts (versus putting a button and code on hundereds of documents). This should be done in VB.NET or something along those lines, but licensing is an issue. My problem lies when a document is opened up that takes a bit to load but the code does not wait and executes before it is finished loading, giving completely bogus results. Here is the run down: User selects which file to analyze using a dialog box, which unfortunately does nothing else: Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show <document starts to load> <"freezes" document loading and executes code, giving bogus data> <document finishes loading> <user gets confused> I would like a way to wait for the document to finish loading before the analyzing code is executed.

    - Fighting Schroedinbug in Word VBA (Tables, images & cie...) Hi all, For the last few days, I have been trying to debug some VBA code and it is driving me crazy. I'm writting an Excel macro which builds (using CreateObject) a Word document in background. The document is displayed at the end of the generation process. One of the most strange behavior I've noticed is the fact that everything seems right when I run the code step-by-step in the Visual Basic editor, but it is screwed up if I execute the macro normally. For example, I have a sub which insert a table in the document. The table is supposed to be aligned on the right and be 8 centimeter wide. If I execute the code step-by-step, displaying the document to watch the process, the tables will be formatted perfectly. However, if I run the macro and let the document invisible, the tables will be page wide and aligned on the left. The executed code is below: With MeterTable .Rows.WrapAroundText = True .Rows.AllowOverlap = False .Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints .PreferredWidth = Application.CentimetersToPoints(8.26) End With Even better: To tackle this bug, I have tried to add a small loop at the end of the main macro. the code is below: For Each aTable In WordDocument.Tables aTable.Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight aTable.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints aTable.PreferredWidth = Application.CentimetersToPoints(8.26) Next aTable WordApplication.Visible = True ' End of the macro If I do it, the tables are 8.26 centimeter wide, but they are still aligned on the left ! I have the same kind of problem with images I want to put in the background of the table: when I am debugging the code, the image fits perfectly, while it is put in the top left corner of the page if I run the macro. Can someone help me, please?! These bugs seem supernatural to me. -- Ben Tag: Switching Windows Error Tag: 86149

    - How to print a blank page from Word VBA ? Hello dear VBA experts, In a Word macro I need at some point to print a white page, for which I suppose one needs to send to the printer currently active within Word, some code like a page feed...) I explain the purpose of my macro at the end of this post if your are curious to know why. I have tried selecting a paragraph mark and printing the current selection, unfortunately this will printout the eader and footer too, so it does not match my need. I suppose it needs to be done with windows printing API Any advice and/or piece of code will be welcome All the best to you Jean-Marie PS : My macro will printout a word document as a leaflet on any printer, ie a small leaflet which will be finely composed by taking the final bundle of sheets of paper and folding it in the middle. It will need 4 goes, the first go will printout odd pages on the right side of the paper sheets, then I take the bundle of sheets and put them back into the printer and I print another set of odd pages still on the right side of the paper (but on the other side of the sheets), then two more goes will print even page numbers on the left side of the paper. If you get the idea, you may imagine that when reaching the last pages of the booklet, sometimes I must leave the paper blank, but I wish the paper to come out of the printer.

Hello,

Currently, I am working on a document that analyzes other documents.
Basically, the user clicks on a button and a dialog box opens up to
browse to a file and the analyzation begins.
It can bring up the dialog box correctly and minimize the current
window of the original document, but when I try to bring the document
to be analyzed into focus, it gives the error:

'Runtime error 5941':
The requested member of the collection does not exist.

Here is the code:
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
.Display
DocToAnalyze = WordBasic.FilenameInfo$(.Name, 2)
End With
'On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

'Windows(analyzedoc).WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
Windows(DocToAnalyze).Activate

I have commented everything out around the last line and targeted it as
the source of the error, but I am not for sure why. I have tried
putting in other documents open such as "Document4.doc" and "Document4"
but to no avail.

Thank you for any help.
