    - Selecting Specific Range Within A Document Without Search (Word 2003) Here's a Word 2003 VBA question about RANGEs that's been driving me nuts for a while. Supposing I have a document that somewhere has the following on a line by itself, effectively being a paragraph: ********** (A) MY SAMPLE WORDS TO SELECT: Hello World and later on it has a line that has (B) MY OTHER SAMPLE WORDS TO SELECT: Hello Universe, So Vast Thou Art. ********* Without using the search functionality, how would one code to do the following three tasks: 1. Select the the stuff following the colon and two spaces in sample (A), whatever it may be (in this case, "Hello World") 2. Select the stuff before the comma in my example (B), whatever it may be (in this case it is Hello Universe) 3 Select the stuff between the comma and end of the line (in this case, it is "So Vast Thou Art").

    - Controlling Pages in Word through automation Hi All, I'm fairly new to using the Word object model (2007) and have a couple of questions regarding controling the pages programatically. What i need to be able to do is to copy various charts and images from excel and lay them out on a word page. I'm going to be resizing these images so that the fill a 1/4 page size each. WHat i'd like to know firstly is how are new pages added? My intention is to resize the images and ensure that there is no way that 4 images will flow over onto the next page. How, if i do this can i add a new page and then reference this to start adding further elements? Any help is most appreciated, thanks in advance, G Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110871

    - Identifying a grammar error VBA Gerus, If my code selects a word in a document (e.g., "while"), how do I determine if the word is part of a grammar error without stepping through each error in the document to locate it? The code "For Each MisWord In ActiveDocument.GrammaticalErrors" can be used to step through and identity each error, but what I need is to be on a word and determine if it is part of a grammar error.

    - XML for Comment Button Alright, so here's what I'm looking at. I'm making a custom tab on the Ribbon/Fluent UI in Word 2007. I've got that part down. It'll be populated with a series of buttons and/or drop down boxes, each of which is set to insert a prescripted comment into the document at where the cursor is. How do I do this? I know how to make a button which inserts some text into the document, but not how to make the button (or alternatively choosing an option from a drop down list or whatever) insert a comment. Also, on a related note, is there a way to make this user customizable? By that I mean, have like a Word document or Excel file that has all the names of the comments and the comment text and the user can change the text of a comment or title? Thanks!

    - Installing a macro I've written a macro for Word which multiple people would like to have installed on their office and personal machines. In some cases, bringing their personal machines to me would be inconvenient for them, and travelling to their residence is an awkward option at best. In these cases, I would like to provide them a way to easily and painlessly install my macro (one or two-click installation, not a 13 step process of manually installing it in Word). Is there such a way to create a macro installation file, and if so, how? Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110839

    - Linked drop down fields - auto populate second field Hi, This macro works fine http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Linked_DropDown_Fields.htm however is it possible to modify this so the second field Auto Populates based on the selection of the first drop down box? At present the user has to manually click in the second field and select from a list. In my case my list only needs to contain one choice. Eg. My first drop down list includes a list of names: John Smith, Bob Smith, Fred Smith which correspond to each of their own postal addresses. So If I select Bob Smith then the second field should auto populate with his address and so forth. This doesnt happen in the macro above can anyone suggest how this second field can be auto populated. Thanks. Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110817

    - Macro to fix control click for a sentence Is there a way to create a macro using a simple keyboard shortcut that will only select one sentence quickly like control click does normally? Control+click has a serious flaw for use in a manuscript with a lot of endnotes at the end of sentences. It always selects not only the sentence clicked on, but also the previous endnote on the previous sentence. Is there a way to make it only selected the sentence at hand and not the previous endnote, with a keyboard macro. I use this control+click a lot on large mss with lots of endnotes. Note: control+click will not select, oddly eneough, spaces before a sentence or a bracket after a previous sentence's period, just an endnote number after the last sentence's period??

    - Trying to move label control using VBA I have a Word 2003 document that allows users to select a location from a drop-down list to pre-populate the letterhead with the correct address. The letter is used for several companies within our organization. After making the selection from the drop-down list, the company name gets loaded into one label control with bold formatting, and the address gets loaded into a second label control directly below the company name. Some of the international addresses have more lines in them than the domestic addresses, and I want the last line to line up with a graphic on the letterhead. Since the company names and addresses are in two separate label controls, bottom-alignment causes blank spaces under the company name. It appears that my best solution is to determine how much vertical space the address will require, then move the label controls accordingly so the bottom lines up with the graphic. I attempted to combine the label controls, but it appears I cannot use multiple formats within the same control (which would also solve my problem). I found some information for programmatically placing shapes in Word, but I have not been able to use the code for the label control. Does anyone have sample code to place the label control relative to the top of the page? For what it's worth, the document must remain backward compatible with Word 2000. Thanks in advance!

    - Disable VBA Hi, I have a bunch of documents that use all sorts of macro code to format and control the document. The documents are all based on a template and the code is located in the template. I want to add a "publish" function that will prepare the document for sending out to customers (update a few fields, set document protection etc). At the completion of the publish function, I want it to either disable or remove the macros from the published instance document. This is important, because we don't want to expose the macros and other bits and pieces to our customers (or even to have the warning dialogue pop-up). Is this possible? The second piece that would be wonderful is to add the ability to reactivate the code from the original template, to allow us to manage and update the document. I can assume that the original template is available for this function. Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110808

    - Incredibly frustrated with Macro I have a macro that I am using that works like this, drop down selection has 5 choices, if choice 2 or 3 is selected then a message will pop up stating that the next field needs further clarification and to please fill in, in otherwards it will not allow the user to go past the next field if choice 2 or 3 is not clarified.

I then build from there, adding header, footer, tables, check boxes, popup calendar macro, list box macros, specify continuous breaks and protections, then test All macros work except the choice 2-3 macro.

    - Disabling macros. Hello, I have a word document containing macros which run automatically when I launch the document. Specifically, the macro displays a userform which prompts the user to enter data that will go into the word file but saves a copy of this word file with the changes. The original file is untouched. So far so good. Here is my dilemma: I do not want the macro to run each time I open the copy of the original file. I found WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros at the following link but do not know how or where to use it. Can I use this command to disable auto-open macros from copies but keep the auto-open macros enabled in the original file?

    - { STYLEREF "EPRI Chapter Number"\n }-{ PAGE} I am using this field code to generate page numbers in the footer of a long document. It is working properly. Page 1 in Chapter 3, for example, appears as "3-1" at the bottom of the page. Ditto for page 2 in Chapter 3, which appears as "3-2". However, the Table of Contents does not reflect these page numbers. Instead, it uses page numbers such as 61, 62, etc. Here is the current field code for the Table of Contents: { TOC \O "1-3" \H \Z \U } How do I need to modify it so that it uses "EPRI Heading 2" for level 2 headers and and "Heading 2" for level three headers in the TOC?

    - modify context menus programmatically Is it possible, as in Excel, to add controls to the context menus ? Just in certain situations, in certain templates I want specific custom menu items. With Excel you can: With Application.CommandBars("Whatever") Controls("...").Add etc.... OK in Excel you can even specify it to happen only if you right-click over a certain cell range and of course I won't get that from Word. But to set this through a routine would be much easier as I've seen the number of different context menus is bewildering in Word. For every user who might possibly use that template I have to manually insert the macro, change the name, get the icon etc etc As an example, how would I go about putting in a "Paste unformatted" into all context menus ?

    - Macro to open built-in dialog in Word 2003 This question deals with Word 2003 on Windows XP. I know, in general, how to add a command or macro to the toolbar by clicking on Tools>Customize, clicking on the Commands tab, scrolling down the Categories list on the left side, highlighting the appropriate category, and then dragging the appropriate item to the menu bar. But not everything can be got to that way. For example, I would like to have a menu item or button that enables one to go immediately to the dialog box that opens when one clicks Tools>Customize>Keyboard with Macros highlighted in the left-hand side. The keystrokes, which are not recordable to bring up this dialog, in the macro recorder, would b. the following: <alt><T>, <alt><C>, <alt><K>, <alt>C>, <M>,<M>,<Right>. How would I write a macro that does this? I have an AutoHotKey script that does this, but I wanted to have a macro that does this.

The code should look something like: <delete existing bookmark text> If (condition) Then <add field1 to bookmark> <add text to bookmark> <add field2 to bookmark> Else <add field3 to bookmark> End If The cleanest way to do it would be to build the appropriate insert string then replace the bookmark.

    - Bookmarks inside text box to insert text or pictures Using Word 2000. I am building a document that I want to use to generate written prescriptions for medicines. In order to control the exact placement of some text and graphics on the page, I would like to use textboxes. However, when I use the following code to do the insertion, the code can't find the bookmarks that are inside a textbox. In the instance of inserting text (for the final version of code, sBoxVal and sMark are set from controls on a UserForm): Sub Macro3() Dim sBoxVal As String, sMark As String sBoxVal = "SomeDrugName" sMark = "DrugName" Call FillMark(sMark, sBoxVal) End Sub Sub FillMark(sMark As String, sBoxVal As String) 'Go to bookmark and transfer the data. Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=sMark Selection.Range.Text = sBoxVal End Sub In the instance of inserting a graphic (in this case a .bmp of a signature that will vary depending on what doctor is writing the prescription): Sub Macro2() 'Go to Signature bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Signature" 'Insert Signature Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _ ThisDocument.Path & "\JPM Signature.bmp" _ , LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True End Sub Both of these approaches seem to work if I am using bookmarks in the main body of the document. I have discovered through fiddling around that if I click on the desired textbox before running the macro so that it has the focus before the macro runs the insertion works just fine. So, I think it might work if I could figure out how to set the focus on the correct textbox programatically. Thanks in advance Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110727

    - error 5560 I have been using a "Clean up Text" template courtesy of this forum for about 18 months, and have just moved to Office 2007. Now getting Error 5560. Don't know if it is coincidental. The stumbling code (even when there is no text for it to clean) is: .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Is there a way forward? Thanks Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110704

    - Word 2003 search macro Hi all, In Word 2003, it is possible to write a VBA macro that searches for a string, positions the cursor at the string found, deletes the string, leaving the cursor where the string had been located. Such code might look like this: Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "searchstring" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 However, if the string is not found, the macro deletes the character the cursor is resting on at the beginning of the search. What I want to know is if there is a way to test if the string is not found, so that another action can be taken. Such code might look like this: Selection.Find.ClearFormatting ' on not found, go to label NoSuchStringExists With Selection.Find .Text = "searchstring" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Exit Sub NoSuchStringExists: MsgBox "Sorry, I could not find this string" Regards, Alan Stancliff Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110699

    - autonew mailmerge error Dear All, Working with Word 2003 on XP workstaions, I have a template that is being launched from a database application that uses an autonew macro. I want it to create a new document and do a mailmerge automatically. When I manually run the "RunMerge" sub that I created (after the autonew macro has completed and a new "Document 1" with the merge fields on it is on the screen, the merge completes successfully. However, if I include the code for the mailmerge in my autonew macro, it always fails. In the many permutations I've tried, I most frequently get an error message that says that the object or property doesn't exist, even though I've also produced an error that suggested the new document wasn't an acceptable main merge document. I've set a reference to the MSWORD.olb and provided a fully qualified name for the code. Is this a known problem of some sort? Any thoughts about other good places to look?

    - Disabling click and change events in form initialize Hi, As with all user forms, if you set the value or state of a control in the initialize macro, then the corresponding _click or _change event macro will fire. I am looking for a way to disable this. I want to set the state and values of controls without firing these macros until after the initialize macro is done and the form is displayed. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Peter Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110695

    - Customize the Quick Access toolbar through a Word 2007 macro I am trying to write a macro to customize the Quick Access Toolbar when a Word 2007 document gets the focus and remove it when the document looses the focus. This way only the document that I put the macro into can use it and it is easy for the user to find it. Thanks for any help. Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110692

    - Creating Excel Spreadsheet in Word with VBA Kind of a stupid question. Is it possible to create/embed an excel spreadsheet into a word document with VBA? I can just create a regular table and then copy and paste to Excel, but I want to know if there is any better option. Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110689

    - Unable To insert Line Break when selection is in TextBox hi , i am using Word Object Model to insert line break at selection using below statement: applicationObject.Selection.InsertBreak(ref BreakType) where BreakType is defined as object BreakType = MSword.WdBreakType.wdLineBreak; i get an COMException "Command Not available" whenever the current selection is with textBox. (inserted using Insert->TextBox) is anyone aware of alternate way of doing the same? Thanks and Regards, Anita. Tag: Text Entry in Forms, Variables Tag: 110684

I am constructing forms in Word 2007 where I want to have the same
functionality as is present in WordPerfect's variables. In WordPerfect, I
create a variable in a form (for example, a variable for the name of a
building, and I insert that variable in 12 different locations in the
document. If I want to change the building name, I double click on any of the
12 occurrences of the variable, and the change is reflected in all 12
locations.

I assumed Word 2007 has similar functionality, but I can't really find it,
at least "out of the box". I am using the content controls with some coding
to automate the updating of all similarly named controls, but I am having
problems with that method.

Am I missing something? Is there something in word that allows m, without
writing code, to get more or less the same functionality as is present in
WordPerfect's variables? I am trying to transition from WordPerfect to Word,
and am creating Word versions of my WordPerfect forms.

Thanks very much.
