    - Looping in a table Dear All I am trying to recurse through every cell in the the first column of a table and obtain the cell contents. I have used the following code (which works) but could be better: Dim oRow As Row Dim oCell As Cell Dim sCellText As String For Each oRow In ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows sCellText = oRow.Cells(1).Range sCellText = Left$(sCellText, Len(sCellText) - 2) Debug.Print Trim(sCellText) Next oRow but I do not want all values returned but only those where the cell or the font is NOT shaded or conversely where the cell has no shading at all in the font or cell itself. It is this part I am stuck with. Can someone please help me? Alastair MacFarlane (very bad at Word VBA) Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 65031

    - dynamic text fields and events I am trying to create runtime text fields and then capture events on this text field. I have experimented with several things I have found on the internet, but have been unsuccessful. The form shows when I run it and the text box appears, but when I click in it, I do not invoke the control event. Any ideas? I have a class module: MyCtrlEvents ****** Option Explicit Public WithEvents MyBox As MSForms.TextBox Private Sub MyBox_Click() MsgBox MyBox.Name & " click!" End Sub ****** And I have a form with nothing on it. Here is the code. ****** Dim c() As MyCtrlEvents Private Sub UserForm_Activate() ReDim c(1) Set c(0) = New MyCtrlEvents Set c(0).MyBox = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Textbox.1") With c(0).MyBox .Name = "TextBoxTest" .Top = 42 .Width = 72 .Height = 18 .Left = 20 End With End Sub ***** -- Thanks, Gary Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 65030

    - Tables Hi, I have a table in a document that I want to programmatically hide/show depending on certain circumstances. I can o this by looping throuh the table rows and setting the height attribute. This works OK but I have a problem. I can't set a row to have a height of 0. This means I have to set the height to 1. The problem with this is that it leaves a very small gap where the 'hidden' row. If there are enough hidden rows next to each other this leaves a large bit of white space in the doc. Is there a way I can hide the table row so it becomes completely invisable? Thanks for any help Andy PS - I don't want to delete as I have different bookmarks in the rows and these will be hard to re-add. Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 65027

    - Word Object model for VBScript Hi, I am trying to automate WORD via VBScript and cannot find references to the word object model as could be used from VBScript. I can find it for VB, but this is not sufficient to find out the order of parameters for example, or what the properties and methods I can use are. For example copying a line from VBA for opening a file (with slight modifications) is: Set Doc = oWord.Documents.Open (FileName:="2004CGC.TXT", ConfirmConversions:=True, ReadOnly:=False, _ AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _ Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", _ Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, Encoding:=1252) BUT I cannot use parameter names in VBScript and do not know what the order of parameters should be. Also I'd like to know what parameters I could use to open a TXT document and then save that as a WORD document. Do you know of any reference that I can use to give me that information? Any help is most appreciated. Cheers, Les Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 65011

    - Problem with setting the focus in a textbox This is obviously a very minor problem but I wouldn't mind a solution just the same. When I set the focus on a textbox I don't see the insertion point if it's a multiline textbox. You can see it received the focus when you press tab, because then the focus moves to the next control.

    - Windows application list Hi Everyone: I am not even sure if this is the correct place to post my question. If not , sorry about this. I am running a windows 2000 machine, and the last time I was updating it, somehow, I ended up with some sort of harmless (but annoying) virus from the MS web site. Basically, every time I run MS Word and I am on the web, my computer runs a program that shifts my Word window around, and clicks on some of the menus, and even clicks on the start button, and opens explorer and a bunc of other software. However, if I never start word, I do not think this program runs. Now I was wondering if in windows 2000, there is a way of knowing what allpication has been run since you turned on the computer. I have looked at event logs, but it does not show the list of run applications. When the virus program runs, I can see the time on my computer, and if I can see a list of the run applications along with the time, then I can delete the virus. I appreciate your help, and if you can give me where is the best place to post this. Thanks; Bob Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 64963

    - Finding text raised by some decimal value I am trying to write a macro to find raised text, specifically, I would like to be able to find and replace the text raised by 3.5 points. I wrote a simple macro to simply find the raised text: ' Macro to find text raised by 3 points and it works great With ActiveDocument.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Position = 3 ' Finds text raised by 3 points .Execute End With However, when I try to find raised text, raised by some decimal value (say) 3.5, the macro simply fails! ' Macro to find text raised by 3.5 points and it fails With ActiveDocument.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Position = 3.5 ' Finds text raised by 3.5 points ' msgbox(font.position) ' This returns 4!!!!

    - Does a paragraph know it is in a table? I have some code that iterates through the paragraphs in the paragraph collection of the ActiveDocument and sets the LeftIndent for the paragraph based on the paragraph above it (actually the TextPosition property of a List item above it). Everything is fine until I hit a paragraph that is actually embedded in a table cell instead of being free standing. The result is that the LeftIndent for the text does get placed where I want it (inside the cell), but the table that it lives inside is still flush left and I'd like to move it over too. This is complicated when there are two columns in this table... my code finds the paragraph in the second column as well and sets its indent relative to the left edge of the 2nd column, which I don't want to do at all. So tables and paragraphs intermingle, but the paragraph collection doesn't seem to know about the tables and the table collection doesn't know about paragraphs. Here's a snip of code (see embedded comments): intOutlineLevel = 0 intTextPositionAbove = 0 For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs If Mid(para.Style, 1, 9) = "MM Topic " Then intOutlineLevel = para.OutlineLevel intTextPositionAbove = para.LeftIndent para.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate _ ListTemplate:=ltTemp, ContinuePreviousList:=True Else If (para.Style = "Normal" Or Mid(para.Style, 1, 3) = "MM ") Then ' If this para is in a table, I'd like to indent the table instead of the paragraph ' If this para is in the second column of a table I don't want to indent at all! If (para.LeftIndent - intTextPositionAbove) <= 0 Then para.LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.25 * intOutlineLevel) Else para.LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.25 * intOutlineLevel) + _ (para.LeftIndent - intTextPositionAbove) End If End If End If Next para Thanks in advance for your ideas...

    - Creating a macro to open a dialog box. Using MS Word 2003 I would like to create a macro that opens a dialog box that prompts the user to accept or deny certain terms. The best example I can use is a EULA. Either you agree to the terms and the document opens, or you disagree and document does not open. Trying to figure this out alone is quite difficult, and any assistance offered will be greatly appreciated. Can anyone help me with this issue?

    - Find PaleBlue and Replace with Yellow in all Tables I have a Word 2003 document with a number of tables that have certain cells with a pale blue background. I wish to change the background colour of these cells to Yellow. I thought I could do it with find and replace, but have had no success. I'm wondering if someone could help with a macro to achieve this. Mark Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 64860

    - Update only certain fields in template I have a template that has several document variables and text fields in it. There are 2 userforms that allow a user to update the document by dropping the text into the fields and updating them. One of the userforms works great, it updates and all is fine. The other one however clears all text in text fields when it updates. The code is the same for both userforms with the exception of the variable names, so I don't understand why they act differently. Perhaps it would be better if I could be more specific in telling Word what I want to update. Question: is there a way to specify only certain fields be updated? Thanks in advance SRD Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 64853

    - Retrieve data from LDAP I'm trying to retrieve a user's name, phone, fax, and e-mail address from an LDAP server and pre-fill textboxes in a Word userform based on the user who logs in. Does anyone know of some code or reference they can point me to? I'm currently using Excel for the database after following the information on the Word MVP site "Retrieving Data from a Named Range in Excel using DAO" but would prefer not to have to maintain a second list of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PBC Tag: TabOrder- MVP site did not solve problem Tag: 64852

Read the brief at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/SetTabOrder.htm =
and tried Method 2: assign a single OnExit macro to all your form fields.
I am working in a form with text fields and checkboxes. For some reason,
when the cursor gets to the first checkbox -- which occurs after 7 text
fields -- it returns to the first text field and won't click into the
checkbox. I have reviewed my code and I can't figure out why this happens.
Can anyone help?
