    - Get numbering text when several ListNum on same line Hi, I'm having trouble getting the numbering text of a ListNum field when it is not the first numbering field in a paragraph. I usually use the ListFormat.ListString property, but it doesn't work in this case, as this property (and ListFormat in general) always gets the first list entity in a paragraph. So if I had this in the document: "It happens fbecause: a) reason1, b) reason 2, c) reason 3" the ListFormat.ListString for any range in this line (including the listnum "Result" and "Code" ranges for any listnum field) would be "a)". The same happens if I have a listnum field after a bullet (don't ask me why anyone would this, it's not my document :)), the code character for the bullet is returned (whatever it is). So, how can I get the resulting text of a listnum field, or the listnum field immediately before the current selection (I have no trouble finding the field, just getting the text)? Hope you can help Thanks Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80867

    - BuiltInDocumentProperties Hello I created a Word document template from a document created at another institution, and stupidly didn't notice that before there were hundreds of documents in my organization's file system with the other company's name in the "Company" BuiltInDocumentProperties. I wrote the routine below to traverse the file tree and update each file. I change the system time to the original modified time for each file so I don't end up setting every file to be modified now. HOWEVER, (A) this is insanely slow (even if I turn off Application.ScreenUpdating; and (B) I noticed that from Windows Explorer, you can modify these properties without opening the file. Does anyone know either: 1) How I could improve the performance in general; or 2) Achieve the same result without having Word open each document?

    - Using forms to collect information Hi, Thanks for your time. I'm using Word 2003. Wondering if there is a way to have users fill out a form in Word and then be able to collect the data somehow. I know conceptually there is, I've heard of it being done but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. For example if I wanted to create a survey for my users, create a form using the form toolbar in Word and then collect and analyze the data in a table or something like that. I believe you can do this in Adobe also, but I'd rather use Word if I can. Thanks! Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80842

    - Paper Tray Bin Selection macro I need to get the number assigned to paper trays on laser printers and copiers to add this to a macro for bin selection. I believe there may be a macro to find this out but not sure what this is. Have tried choosing File, Page Setup whilst running a macro and whilst this gives me the bin number on the copiers we use, when I put this code in my current macro, it doesn't select correct bin - just picks from the default tray. On our HP laser printers, when I select File, Page Setup, I just get Upper or Lower Tray in the code. I actually do have the numbers for the printers from our consultant who wrote the macro, but as we will probably be getting new models, I would like to know where/how to get the actual bin numbers. Thanks in advance. Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80816

    - Capture ALL movements...event? Currently I am trying to create my own StatusBar because the Word StatusBar doesn't display when you are using it with Internet Explorer. My question is what event do you use to capture every movement of the cursor(pointer) so I can display the current line, section, column, etc...? I've tried Me.SelectionChange but it only captures some of the movements. It doesn't capture when I hit the Enter button, etc... Any ideas?

    - Headers, Footers inserting text... Hi, I hope this is the correct forum for this question... Is there some trick to programmatically inserting text in the header and/or footer of a Word document? I'm working with Word 2003, and the documents are XML format. I created a schema and a XML data file and a XSL transform file. I pull the XML file into Word with the schema and XSL attached and everything gets formatted and populated correctly except the header and footer. The header and footer have the XML tags but the data that pops them isn't present. I need to be able to pop those header/footer tags programmatically but, they don't get populated even when I open the files manually. Any ideas? TIA! David Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80813

    - Speed in opening word documents and executing the word application I work in an office with 25 users which were all "refreshed" with new computers and upgraded to Windows XP Professional. All the applications open immediatly with the exception of "Word". It takes around 20 seconds to execute the application and about 45 seconds to open documents no matter how small the size. This is frustrating as the previous version "Windows 2000" was much faster. Most docs opened immediatly. Excell, Access, PowerPoint, in XP, all execute upon a click of the icon so why is Word different. I have called our helpdesk for assistance and believe they cannot figure this out or my request has been buried. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening??

    - Delete all shading Alright, now... i only ask questions when i really need help... so here goes. I have documents that have all this highlighting to help notify people of issues that may or may not be problematic, so i have this- Sub RemoveHighlights() Dim rngSearch As Word.Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set rngSearch = ActiveDocument.Range rngSearch.Find.ClearFormatting rngSearch.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With rngSearch.Find .Format = True .highLight = True .Replacement.highLight = False .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Well, i get a document, and it turns out a programmer has added shading, not highlighting.

    - About Sequentially numbered documents? Hi I didn't know anything about macros and VBA for nowadays but I want to make my documents numbered sequentially and I looked at some related sites ( such as http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberDocs.htm ). Also I read 70 pages about my subject at this site :) I changed the code as the following for me: Sub AutoNew() Order = System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\Counter.Txt", _ "MacroSettings", "Order") If Order = "" Then Order = 1 Else Order = Order + 1 End If System.PrivateProfileString("\\server\Counter.txt", "MacroSettings", _ "Order") = Order ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Order").Range.InsertBefore Format(Order, "00#") ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="\\server\DocumentName Ref-06-" & Format(Order, "00#") End Sub As you can see In my document I have a Ref-06-XXX part and everytime I opened the template document it adds one to Ref like â??Ref-06-001â??, â??Ref-06-002â??, â??Ref-06-003â??... and also it creates the document at â??\\server\â?? like â??DocumentName Ref-06-001â??, â??DocumentName Ref-06-002â??, â??DocumentName Ref-06-003â??... But the problem is it saves the document after it opens the new numbered document so if i made a mistake to open a new document i should delete the last document that was created and also change the order number in the â??Counter.txtâ?? to -1. I hope I had explained my problem well :) So I think about the problem and have some answers like; * Macro shouldn't save the document at the beginning (after the creation of the new document). It would save the document after I made changes on the document and I think that the document have that Ref number on it. So it should save the document after I made my changes on document (before closing the document). As I said at the beginning I donâ??t know VBA codes so I need help from you. I know that this is too easy for experts. Thanks for your help this very moment :) Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80764

    - Quick & clean way to select all following chars until colorchange? Hi, I'm trying to select all characters which have the same color as a certain character without any gaps example: bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb<cursor is here>ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggbbbbbbbggggggggggg From the position of the cursor I would like to select all the green (g) charcters untill a blue (b) appears, so I don't want the second range of g's for now. at the moment I solve this by looping over the content and check the color of each char. On a colorchange I'll select the chars of the old color. This is pretty slow though and it seems primitive. There has to be a better way....

    - mass conversion to PDF To convert multiple office files to multiple pdf files one has to 1. Set PDF as a default printer 2. Disable all PDF prompts for confirming file names, etc. This can be done under Acrobat settings or under PDF printer properties 3. Create a new folder named *my Documents* in ...Adobe/Acrobat/Distllr folder 4. Select files to be converted, e.g. in Windows Explorer, right click and click Print. Many thanks to Jezebel for helping with sorting this thing out. You saved me hours of boring work. The newly created PDF files are placed in the above mentioned my Document folder retaining their original name. Strangely, this folder is not created at the Acrobat installation, but without it, conversion to PDF via print command returns an error. -- JanAdam Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80733

    - Stuffing text from Word into a VT100 terminal emulator Here's a challenge for you. I need to get some complex text into a legacy database running in a VT100 terminal emulator (please don't laugh). So I am generating the text in Word 97 using dropdown form fields, with VBA running in the background to conditionally alter other fields. Once done, I have a button that copies the text to the clipboard. The user switches to the VT100 terminal emulator and pastes the text in. There are two remaining things that I would like to do. 1) Preserve the bold and underline from the Word text. In the database, bold is switched on and off with key strokes <crtl-6><b> and underline with <ctrl-6><u>. 2) Also put data into other fields in the database. I could due this with a macro in the terminal emulator but I want the data vary depending on the contents of the Word file. So when I switch to the database, I am thinking that I need to be able to stuff the keyboard with a sequence of keystrokes. I realise that the solution may depend on the specifics of the VT100 terminal emulator that I am using. The terminal emulator runs macros which are held in files. One possibility is to have VBA write the macro to a file, switch to the terminal emulator and then run the macro that Word has just produced. -- Paul Bishop Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80714

I need a template to temporarily install a Type 1 font from our fileserver for use while the document is open; I cannot have users install fonts manually and I don't have a TrueType version. After much Googling, the following is what I have come up with. It throws no errors, but it always returns 0 (meaning no font installed) and the font list in Word never shows the font.

    - Creating a visible field with a hidden component? I need to create a field that will be inserted via VBA code. This will be made up of nested fields. The outer field will use a Quote field with a visible text element that will show in the document. Along with this is a nested field which contains tags that I will parse for with another macro. The issue is I need to make the second nested field not visible and also easily parsable in code. I'm thinking of storing a delimited string in this field to contain the various elements need later. The only way I can think to do this is using the SEQ field with the \h. Is this the only/best approach? Here is what I want or similar: { QUOTE (CAUKEO) { SEQ AA-BB-CCCC \h } } So later on I want to parse out the SEQ field associated with the QUOTE and based on what it contains (i.e. does it include AA then..) do something in the macro. Any thoughts or insight on this approach? Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80695

    - Update Macro for Spell Check: Clarification Thanks to Graham for responding to my message previously. I tried your suggestion Graham and I am still having some problems with the code. I am not sure why, but now it not only does not update...it clears out the form field data as well. So adding the new code seemed to negate the wd protection code that maintains the filled in data. I am including the code....if you can help. Sub FormsSpellCheck() ' If document is protected, Unprotect it. If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="not2day" End If ' Set the language for the document.

    - How to lock styles, remove protection, then protect doc in 2003? I'm trying to lock styles only, when the doc opens (user will be able to edit doc). Before saving, i want to remove the password protect, set all section protectionforforms to true, then reprotect doc as well as lock styles. When I try to set the protectionforforms, I get an error "Command not available because document is password-protected". I ran the below macros in the order from top to bottom for demo purposes and got the error. I have a work around (before I set the protectionforforms, I protect the document with Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, unprotect it, set the protectionforforms, then reprotect.) It sounds kind of silly, so I'm asking if there's a better way. Public Sub Lock_Styles_Only() ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdNoProtection, _ noreset:=False, Password:="pass", enforcestylelock:=True End Sub Public Sub Remove_Protection() ActiveDocument.unprotect ("pass") End Sub Public Sub Protect_Doc_and_Lock_Styles() Dim sec As Section For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections sec.ProtectedForForms = True 'error occurs here Next sec ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _ noreset:=False, Password:="lawp", enforcestylelock:=True End Sub Tag: Tick instead of cross Tag: 80665

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. The ones using symbols rather that protected forms can have a check
mark (tick) instead of an X. Take a look at the Checkbox template available
at http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an
exploration of these.
