    - Speed of macros reduced to a snail pace Hi I recently asked a question about two docs that use the same .dot as reference to execute macros and install a toolbar. One of the docs works very well while the other one (much longer table) has become unusable due to the speed of execution Today, I inserted a second table in the slow doc and the macros executed right away. So I have concluded that it is the length of the main table in the problematic doc that is causing the problem and nothing else. I have copied below one of the macros the speed of which seems to be affected by the length of the table. Can anyone help me to get around this problem as I can't wait one minute each time for a macro to execute. I selcet the word with the cursor before running the macro. Thanks in advance Dave Neve Sub FallingLong() Dim wordrange As Range, lrange As Range, i As Long, j As Long Set wordrange = Selection.Range j = 2 For i = 1 To wordrange.Characters.Count Set lrange = wordrange.Characters(i) If Selection.Characters.Count <= 5 Then lrange.Font.Size = 18 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 2 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue Else lrange.Font.Size = 16 lrange.Font.Size = lrange.Font.Size - j j = j + 1 lrange.Font.Spacing = 5 wordrange.Font.Color = wdColorSkyBlue End If Next i Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Selection.ExtendMode = False Selection.Font.Reset Call NextWordSelect End Sub Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72795

    - combine downloaded word docs from website? Hello, This is a long shot, but I'm thinking you folks would probably have some pointers for me. On this website: http://www.cityofbellevue.org/page.asp?view=7863 There's a set of links to months. If you click on one of the months (say, August), you get a set of links to Microsoft Word doc files, 3 for each day of the month: http://www.cityofbellevue.org/page.asp?view=38806 Is there a way to combine all of these docs into one document, then sort by district? Would this be something I could do with vba? thanks for any pointers! Sylvia Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72793

    - Resequencing Paragraph Outline Numbering Hello Everyone, I'm trying to automate a task. I want the user to select the original text (example below), execute the macro and convert it to what looks like in the reformatted example. The assumptions is that there will never be more than 30 entries for any level of outline numbering. The text is all plain text as well and all the paragraphs have no styles associated with them. I've tried coding finding and replacing using loops but was getting hung up on keeping the numbering together. Any easy ideas on how to do this? Original Text: 1. First Paragraph. a. Sales Plan. b. Strategy. (1) Strategy 1. (2) Strategy 2. (3) Strategy 3. c. Marketing Plan. 2. Second Paragraph. a. Intent b. Concept of Execution. (1) Execution 1. (2) Execution 2. (3) Execution 3. Reformatted Text: 1. First Paragraph. 1.a. Sales Plan. 1.b. Strategy. 1.b.(1) Strategy 1. 1.b.(2) Strategy 2. 1.b.(3) Strategy 3. 1.c. Marketing Plan. 2. Second Paragraph. 2.a. Intent 2.b. Concept of Execution. 2.b.(1) Execution 1. 2.b.(2) Execution 2. 2.b.(3) Execution 3. Thanks for the help! Terry Hagen Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72792

    - File Open Dialog based on startup directory Hi, I'd like for word's File-Open & Save-As dialogs to point to the directory from which I launched word. For example, I might just launch winword.exe from the command line, say in directory: c:\abc\xyz in which case I'd like for File-Open & Save-As to point to this directory. Could you point me to suitable VBA source-code or inbuilt word menu options by which I can achieve this ? Thanks, Anand. Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72741

    - Help, my template file size is out of control!! Hi all. I've been following everyone's advice and creating a template and using styles, no direct formatting, etc etc. Now, my template has grown to over 1 MB and there is not even any content to it yet!! Is there a way I can go through the document and see what's eating up all the space? (my latest addition was a table of contents and table of figures, and I noticed that jumped it up from 450k to 1.1MB ... however, it seems like 450k is even too large!!)

    - Programmatically creating charts with Word and VB.Net Hi to all! I have an issue that has been bugging me for quite some time and I hope that someone might be able to point me into the right direction here. The story is â?? I am writing an application that would allow a user to create a Word output from pre-defined data tables. The output can contain both charts and tables. While generating the output, Word or MSGraph cannot be visible to the user. What I have is something like this [CODE] private sub AddChart(params) Dim oShape As Word.InlineShape Dim oChart As Object oShape = _wordDocument.Bookmarks.Item("\endofdoc").Range.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(ClassType:="MSGraph.Chart.8", FileName:="", LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False) oChart = oShape.OLEFormat.Object If (chartOptions.UpdateDataSheet(oChart) <> True) Then CLogger.Log("Chart has no data present. Check to make sure you are not hidding the entire chart", CLogger.EntryType.Warning) End If CLogger.LogIf("Updating Chart Options") chartOptions.UpdateChart(oChart) oChart.Application.Update() oChart.Application.Quit() AddSection() End sub [/CODE] Here is what happens â?? first time we run this â?? everything is good, second time, Word document becomes visible as well as the MSGraph window appears. It happens when we hit the line with oShape = â?¦â?¦. I am wondering if someone knows the way to hide that Word document and that MSGraph window. Thanks in advance.

    - Track changes, deletions and additions I have a bunch of documents with addition and deletion markups. I want to make a macro that will go through an entire document, find everything that is a deletion, put a true strikethrough on it, then deny the changes, so it stays on page, and keeps the strikethrough. Then i want the macro to go through and find all additions, font.color them wdColorRed, and accept the changes, so they're on the document and color of red. If anyone can help it's much appreciated.

    - Auto-create chart objects I have an excel spreadsheet with 600 rows in it. Each row has the name of an item followed by several columns of numbers. I need to create 3 different small charts in a Word document for each row in the spreadsheet. In word, you will see a Item Name, with 3 small, but different charts on the next line, followed by a blank line. I know I can create the charts in Excel using a macro and then copy and paste them into word as pictures. Once that is done, I can tell word to run a macro to format the pictures. But the quality of the text breaks down depending upon how much I stretch the charts. WHAT I WOULD RATHER DO is, either from Excel, tell word to insert Excel chart objects or from Word, get the data from Excel and create the chart objects. Using the first method, I have created a macro in Excel to tell Word to run a macro to put in a line of text with the item name in it, followed by a paragraph break, followed by inserting an Excel object. But where do I put the macro that tells the Excel object how to format itself? I do not want to store the macro in each Excel object as that would bloat the document. I have tried to place the Macro back in the original Excel sheet, but when I tell it to run, it seems to want to run within the original Excel sheet, not within the Excel object in Word. What am I doing wrong? Or am I missing something even simpler that would solve my problem? Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72703

    - Word 2000 Merge with VBA I have a name badge document that I routinely merge with an Access data base on a server. I create name badges for several offices. Each office is generated with a make table and 2 append queries, with a query for the final data. The final data query for each office is used to create the name badges for each office. I recorded the merge process for one query, then copied for each office. The code is: Sub Merge_EventsDataBase_HOU() ' ' MailMerge Macro ' Macro recorded 8/17/2005 by cm9125 ' ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "I:\Access\Registration_Lists_Pinnell\RegistrationLists_Original.mdb", _ ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _ AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _ WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _ Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, Connection:= _ "QUERY Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData", SQLStatement:= _ "SELECT * FROM [Qry-N_B-Office-HOU-4-FinalData]", SQLStatement1:="" With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With End Sub Copied this code and changed the query name for each of the other offices. This code ran fine, but when I tried the other offices got "Run-time error '5922': Word was unable to open the data source." Can someone help me with this? Also, on my computer it goes to the "I:" drive. On someone else's computer it may not be "I:". Is there a way to let the other user enter their drive number? Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72697

    - genreate ms-word doc from excel Hi all, I have worked on an excel project recently with a lot of help form this board. The goal was to assort couple of tables from one sheet to another to make things easier for comparison. Now I have a new task. I need to generate couple of ms-word documents from this excel sheet. The plan right now is to have a menuitem like "Generate docs" in excelsheet and by clicking on that we can generate about 40 word documents or so. We have a word template file. For each word document we need to have the folowing things 1. Module name as the heading 2. Description of the module 3. Table of data All these information are in the excel sheet. They are stored in excel sheet using named ranges. Now, I need to gather these data and generate the word docs. What would be the best approach to solve this problem. Ideally we would like to do this with out even opening the word application. I am requesting your valued suggestions on this problem. Thanks in advance, shishi Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72694

    - Problem with Word Code in 2003 I am performing a mail merge in Word through an Access database. As part of the process, I check to see if a Word document is already a mail merge document, and then, if it is, if it has the correct data source. Thus, from within Access, I use: If objWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.State=wdMainAndDataSource Then ... This has worked fine with Access/Word 2000, or if the program is used with Access/Word 2002. However, with Access/Word 2003, the MailMerge.State value returns wdNormalDocument (0) instead of wdMainAndDataSource (2). I double-checked the document, and it clearly is a mail merge main document with a data source. When when read through Access, I get the return value of a normal document. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks, Neil Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72688

    - Controlling text wrapping around an image. Hello We generate word documents from content in a database (AuthorIT application). I want to have an image on the front page of my document _behind_ the text. When generated, the text is wrapped around the image. I want to use a macro to set the image to display beneath the text. I have come up with this macro: Sub MoveImage() Dim iShape, Shape On Error Resume Next For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.InlineShapes iShape.ConvertToShape Next For Each Shape In ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.ShapeRange Shape.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapThrough Next End Sub This doesn't work when run as soon as the doc is generated, but curiously does work if i manually select the image then run it. Can anyone help me to develop a macro that will set the desired wrapping without any manual action? Thanks Dave. Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72671

    - Programatically adding new autotext entries to a global template I'm in the process of (hopefully) improving the overall use of Word XP in our small office. Being a self-taught newbie to VBA, I've found this newsgroup to be of real value as a source of info and tips. As part of the process, I've created a global template ( called RI_Global.dot) which will hold, amongst other things, all our generic autotext entries, ie - ones we want to be available all the time in any document. What I'm seeking guidance about concerns the way a new user-created autotext entry is "saved" to a template. My understanding is that the default choice is the normal.dot template, whereas I want the entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot. Is it possible to "force" a newly created AutoText entry to be saved into RI_Global.dot, rather than relying on the users to remember to choose this template when they access the Insert/AutoText/AutoText command? Also, can I intercept the "Alt+F3" shortcut to again force the entry to be saved to my global template? I've found the appropriate(?) dialog which might be interceptable [ie: Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)], but I can't see how any of the options can be manipulated through VBA. Using the macro recorder and selecting the global template from the "Look in:" drop-down box doesn't shed any light on the steps involved when I look at the resulting code. Thanks in anticipation.

    - Amending the File Open dialog Since upgrading to Word2003 I notice that the "Look in" box in File/Open dialog always seems to point to the last directory I used. Whilst this is sometimes convenient, most of the time I want to open files in the specific directory, "DirName", which I have created to contain my most used files, with its own tree substructure. I therefore wish to ensure that "Look in" always defaults to that given directory. Could (or should) this be achieved by modifying the following module already installed which ensures that the "Files of type" box always shows "All Files":- Sub FileOpen() With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen) .Name = "*.*" .Show End With End Sub Or should a separate new module be used. Being not too familiar with the Visual Basic codes, can someone kindly advise how to do this. Thanks Jack Sadie Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72643

    - Clean Up for Merge Code Dear All, I have a template that is creating a new document using data from an access query that is merged into a Word template. All Office 2003 apps on Win2K and XP pro workstations. The document is created -- but there is also an additional "Document 1" that is created every time that has to be deleted -- a copy of the template with no data in it. If anyone can point out how I can eliminate that extra clutter, I would appreciate it. Additionally, my code is messy, since a lot of it was generated by recording. I'd appreciate gentle recommendations for cleaning it up. Right now, it says" Sub autonew() ' Perform Merge using CatalogTextSource.txt ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\TEMP\MtgNoticeSource.txt", ConfirmConversions:=False, _ ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _ PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", WritePasswordDocument:="", _ WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .MailAsAttachment = False .MailAddressFieldName = "" .MailSubject = "" .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute Pause:=True End With ' Save New Merge Document as NewMeetingNotice.doc ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\My Documents\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\cpa_comp\chapters\_chapter Programs\-Chapter Notice E-Form\__Current\NewMeetingNotice.doc", FileFormat:= _ wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _ True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _ False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False Followed by code to clean up and format the document Thnak you in advance for any assistance.

    - Identifying Pictures and Drawing Objects I've done some work with a template that shows and hides graphic images -- allowing a user to fax a document (show image of logo) or print the document on letterhead (hiding image of logo). I found that the picures came in as "Picture 11" and "Picture 22" and so on. I was able to identify them by using the recorder and selecting them and then looking at the code. But I was wondering if there is any, more efficient way, to identify image and drawing objects? Ridge (in New Joisey) Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72628

    - PrivateProfileString I have been using this method to store user defaults for client templates. In probably 8 years I've never had a problem with it. Now, I've had two testers run into problems where the .ini file doesn't seem to be storing, or if it does, it's not where I expect it to be. Since the client is in another city, I can't just sit at their PCs and figure out what's going on, so wonder if anyone here might have experienced any problems with this method. Word 2003.

    - Previous bookmark I'm using code to check to make sure an entry was made in a bookmarked field. After the message box prompts the user that the field requires an entry, how do I get back to the original bookmark, so that the user cannot go any further until an entry is made? Thanks.

    - Strange toolbar behavior I have several toolbars with macros assigned to them. Two macros, for no apparent reason I can figure, rearranges the toolbars when I run them. The macros themsleves don't appear to have anything in them that would affect toolbar positions. They are both used to convert fill-in form fields to plain text -- one does the whole document, the other just does whatever is selected. When either macro runs, it moves two of the custom toolbars from one location to another. One toolbar has these macro assigned to it, the other is a custom toolbar with other macros, but not these particular ones. None of the other macros move toolbars around. The macros appears below, for what it's worth. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Macro 1 ActiveDocument.PrintPreview ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview Selection.WholeStory Selection.Fields.Unlink Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Macro 2 ActiveDocument.PrintPreview ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview Selection.Fields.Unlink Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72623

    - Incorrect page numbers after inserting files MS XP / Word 2000 â?? 2003 Page Numbering Woes â?? I am having a hard time getting my document to correctly number pages, any help greatly appreciated. I am working on a macro that allows users to apply formatting to a document, add table of contents and insert other documents (called boilerplates) to the beginning of the original (after TOC). I am able to insert the requested documents using the following code: Note: at the time of inserting the documents the table of contents has already been inserted. Sub _Boilerplates() 'add selected boilerplates to current document Dim iCnt As Integer For iCnt = 0 To frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.ListCount - 1 If frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.Selected(iCnt) Then Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView ' Go to second section Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=2, Name:="" Selection.InsertFile FileName:=gstrDocFullPath & _ frmSpecMain.lbBoilerplates.List(iCnt), _ Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakContinuous End If Next ActiveDocument.Save End Sub After inserting the boilerplates I run the following code to number the pages: Sub _PageNumbers() ' ' Add page numbers to the final document ' Dim i As Integer i = Selection.Sections.Count ' go to top of document and clear find area Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleLowercaseRoman .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True For i = 1 To Selection.Sections.Count + 1 ' Skip to Next Section and number those pages Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToNext, Count:=1, Name:="" Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).LinkToPrevious = False ' Now number body With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers .NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleArabic .HeadingLevelForChapter = 0 .IncludeChapterNumber = False .ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorHyphen .RestartNumberingAtSection = True .StartingNumber = i - 1 End With Selection.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add PageNumberAlignment:= _ wdAlignPageNumberRight, FirstPage:=True Next End Sub What happens is that the newly inserted boilerplates all have the page number 1, as well as the beginning of the original document.

    - Replacing Bookmark Text - Userforms (FYI - I posted this on the beginners, general, and userforms boards.) I have created a template where I created a userform with 2 "fields" (ProjectName and TaskName). Each field corresponds w/a bookmark. I'm using REF commands to link/repeat the bookmarks in the footer of the report. It is all working well except that the data that is input through the userform is getting added to the (default) bookmark text instead of replacing it. I found a MVP document that gives me a general idea of what I need to do (set a bookmark range variable) {MVP Doc: Inserting text at a bookmark without deleting the bookmark}. It includes a subroutine when using a macros/userform, but I'm not sure where to put it. Can anyone help me with this??? THANK YOU! Wendy Now, template bookmarks look like: [ProjectName] and [TaskName]. If I input a 1 (for project name) and a 2 (for task name) in the userform when I open a new document, the bookmark data changes to: [1ProjectName] and [2TaskName]. I need it to change to [1] and [2] (but keep the bookmarks). My VBA code has: AUTONEW MODULE Sub AutoNew() ' ' AutoNew Macro ' Macro created 8/16/2005 by wdaniels ' UserForm1.Show End Sub USERFORM - Commandbutton1 Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("ProjectName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox1 .Bookmarks("TaskName").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox2 End With UserForm1.Hide End Sub Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72617

    - Duplex Printing In Word Greetings, I found a macro that is suppose to manually print duplex for printers that don't have the duplex option. The code is suppose to print the current page in the active document, open a messagebox so the user can manually flip the page, and then print the second (or even) page after the user presses ok. The macro does print, but only after the code finishes running. For some reason, it only spools the the first print current page command, and then prints it when the code finishes running. Any help would be great! Thank you! Here's the code: Sub PrintBothSides() ' ' PrintBothSides Macro ' Dim iTemp As Integer ActiveDocument.PrintOut (ManualDuplexPrint), Copies:=1, Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage iTemp = MsgBox("Switch paper to continue", vbOKCancel, "PrintBothSides") If iTemp = vbOK Then ActiveDocument.PrintOut Copies:=1, PageType:=wdPrintEvenPagesOnly End If End Sub Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72615

    - Access Database Update I have an Access database which contains information for a form. I use the database for merging with a Word template which is then sent out to customers via email. I also have text form fields for the customer to fill out in response to the original information. These transactions happen 5 or 6 times a day and cutting and pasting just doesn't cut it since the returned information is lengthy. Everything is working beautifully, except I don't have an easy way to import the data from the text form field back into the database. I would like the returned form to be able to be attached to the Access database much the same way that it works the other way around. Is that possible? The users of this system need a button to be able to do this. If I got hit by a gasoline tanker tomorrow, they wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with the returned info from the Word form.

    - Outlook type Library not available as a reference I am using MIcrosoft Office Word 2003 SP1. I am trying to use code contributed by Astrid Zeelenberg in the article "How to send an email from Word using VBA." The article says I need to set a reference to the Outlook type library under Tools-References. I can not find a reference to Outlook type library. Is this something I need to install seperately? If so, could someone please tell me what I need to do to have access to this reference. Thanks Tag: Templates on Word 2000 Tag: 72613
