    - Running Macros in Word I have many 1000s of documents which I want to open, find and delete pictures, save, close and move on to the next. The documents are stored in History files organised into folders so the macro needs to locate all files within these subfolders. This is all fine in principle. Via various sources etc. I have created a macro which checks for Shapes (including first converting any which are InlineShapes), selects and then deletes these. I have then inserted this into the publicly available code for finding all files within a folder (including subfolders) [special thanks to the MS folks for that!]. Problem is that the Shapes macro works fine on single documents but, for some reason, when it is operating within the file find loop, it crashes at the Convert from Inline stage and closes Word altogether. I assumed maybe it was a resources type issue so have tried limiting the scope of the search by running on only a few folders at a time (there are actually 2 main folders each of which has 1000 subfolders) and then to running on 1 folder at a time (each folder has up to 1000 documents). None of this seems to work. If the document is open and I run the Shapes bit on its own, it works fine. If I run the file search and open macro, then the same command causes the system to fall over. Does anyone have any bright ideas at all? For reference the Shapes part of the code is: If ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count > 0 Then For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes iShape.ConvertToShape Next iShape End If If ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count > 0 Then ActiveDocument.Shapes.SelectAll Selection.Delete End If Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52995

    - Using Word Fields Hey everyone, I have a VBA form where the user will enter all sort of data. Based on that data, I replace certain words in pre- defined Word document. I have no problem with. I do a simple find and replace in my VBA code. However, in certain sitation, i may need to delete an entire sentence or paragraph. What I do now is search for a unique set of words, and do the appropraite deletion. This method works fine. But I was wondering if there might be a better way of doing this. My boss suggested using Fields, but I am not sure how. Can anyone help? I would greatly appreicate it. Thank you! Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52983

    - Help: Wrapping quotes around selected text Dudes, I would like to have a Word macro that can wrap quotes around each line of selected text, followed by a comma at the end of each line. Preferably it won't append a comma to the last line, but I'll settle for a solution without this extra feature. eg. Dog Cat Fish Bird becomes 'Dog', 'Cat', 'Fish', 'Bird' The reason I need this is to allow me to save a lot of time where I have to manually create an SQL query that includes a long list of search criteria. Thanks. The first to provide a solution goes to the top of the class! Poster Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52976

    - Install works on 2 machines, but Word ignores it on 1 Hi; I created a .msi setup program using Visual Studio. It works fine on two machines. On the third the setup runs. The registry has the right settings. The files are on the disk. But... When Word starts it doesn't call the add-in. And in Tools, Templates and Add-Ins it lists nothing under Global templates and add-ins. any ideas? thanks - dave Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52974

    - AutoCorrect entries containing punctuation I've discovered that punctuation characters trigger autocorrect expansions even if you've got an autocorrect entry which contains that punctuation character. For example, if you've got entries as follows: Entry Expansion f fyodor f&d fyodor dostoyevsky If you then type: "f&", autocorrect will expand to "fyodor" without checking for the "f&d" entry. Is there a way around this problem? Obviously, you can change "f&d" to "fd", but I'm converting expansions from a third party expander, and can't control entries like that. Thanks...

    - Inserting Tables of Contents, Tables and Figures I have Document Template that contains a Table of Contents. I have a couple of Macros that insert Tables of Tables and Tables of Figures. The Macros look for 2 bookmarks. One bookmark is stored at the end of the Table of Contents field, so that the Table of Tables always ends up in the right place and can't be deleted by mistake. The problem is the 2nd bookmark keeps getting deleted if I delete the Table of Figures and the Table of Tables. Also, if I were to delete the Table of Contents, then the Table of Table bookmark would disappear. What I need to do is be able to insert the Table of Contents in a certain place, if it gets deleted and then insert the other 2 tables after it. For example, if the Table of Tables is there, then the Table of Figures automatically is inserted below the TOT, however if there is no TOT, then the TOF goes under the TOC. At the moment everything works unless the bookmarks get deleted. The easy solution is don't delete the bookmarks, but life isn't easy Appreciate any suggestions Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52971

    - Create a Zip'ed Folder I'd like to be able to use Windows XP's built-in capability to create and manipulate zipped folders from within VBA. My VBA program creates a folder and places several files into this folder. Now I'd like to create a Compressed (zipped) Folder from this unzipped folder. I can do this within Windows Explorer by right-mouse-button clicking on the folder and selecting Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder from the Pop-up menu. But how does one do the equivalent under program control? I'd like to be able to create a Compressed (zipped) Folder from within my VBA program. Can this be done using Windows XP's built-in zip capability (involving the zipfldr.dll capability)? Thanks! -Ron Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52970

    - Macro to retrieve an OL address and insert it into Word I have recently started using Word (Office 2003). In my 15 years using WordPerfect I developed a macro to use while writing a business letter to insert an address from the address-book. Has someone written a VBA macro which will ask for the input of the first and last name, and then go to OL to retrieve the mailing address and insert it into the Word document at the cursor location? That would be most helpful to me. Thank you. Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52966

    - Select x words on either side of Find Here's an interesting request. I'm just looking for the most efficient way to handle this. I have a need to do a find and replace on a text range. The replace is simply a formatting change. However, I need to change the formatting on a specified number of words on either side of the matched word as well. I am looking at the object model, but figured maybe someone who knows it a bit better could point me right where I needed to go. My anticipated approach is to match the word, step back x words, start selecting, step forward ((x*2)+1)) words, end selecting, then apply the formatting to the selection. That doesn't sound like the best way to do it. Maybe I could do a regular expression match? Any other ideas? Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52958

    - Automating ms word tasks.. hello everybody i have a problem with a translation work i'm actually busy with, i'll try to explain it as claerly as possible, hopin' to find some good soul out there that could really help me out. THE FACTS: 1) I have a really long list of word documents classified in two folders, each folder containg the same documents, with different filenames, in two different languages (italian/french). Both respectives filenames contain at least a similar string as they are referred to the same product (ex. IT-catalog-bs342.doc - FR-catalog-bs342- NEW.doc) 2) As it was an old translation i made, i'm upgrading the old italian translation to the new french catalog. there are really small differences between the two versions of the respectives documents, such as a footer that has been added and some new items and fonctions in bullets listings. Some values have changed too. (ex. distance: 10m --> distance: 25m) My question is: Is anyway to do this loooong work faster by using scripts and macros to replace automatically what i want them to replace or simply add to the old files using new files as a source? I'm trying to find out how evaluation products such as WordPipe or CrossEyes could help me but i'm really lost in it! please contact me by mail or icq if you feel u can help. by the way thanks for reading all this message. livefast Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52957

    - Request for help to rearrange data... Hi, I'm working with Word 97 and I wish to rearrange a data source file so that it is consistent. For example, I have the following sample data records: "John Smith", "1 ABC Lane", "City State Zip" "Jane Smith", "2 DEF Blvd", "Apt G", "City State Zip" As you can see above the Jane Smith record has an additional field "Apt G" field. If I were doing a normal mail merge this would not be a problem. However, I need to export the data for another program rearranging the data using the following format: "", "John Smith", "1 ABC Lane", "City State Zip" "Jane Smith", "2 DEF Blvd", "Apt G", "City State Zip" Is there a Find/Replace command I can use on this data or must I create a macro to handle this problem?

    - Booklet, back to front, landscape 1/2 page Dear fellows, I hope someone can help me. I want to publish a club handbook that is printed on 8 1/2 X 11 folded in half. This effectively would have the first page printed with the last on the same sheet. Just like a magazine is printed then stapled together. The problem is I don't know how many pages will be involved so I just can't start by typing the first page and the last page on the same page and printing. The number of pages will change several times a year. The question then becomes...is there a template or program that will do this for me? In other words, allow me to type the pages sequentially and when I'm finished rearrange the pages for proper printing regardless of how many pages are involved. Years back in another life I remember a Mac program that allowed me to do exactly what I want, but I can't seem to find it for Word. Thanks for any help you can give.

    - Missing FilePicker Dialog I had been using the FileDialog object in a Word (2002) add-in until a colleague running Word 2000 tried to use it and got an error. I discovered that the FileDialog object is available only in the Office 10.0 library. Since I need to distribute this add-in to people whose version of Office I won't be able to update, I want to do without using the FileDialog object. But I can't seem to find a filepicker type dialog otherwise. Does one exist? Or will I need to create my own filepicker using a userform? I should note that I considered using Word's built-in fileopen dialog as a workaround. But I don't need to open the file that is picked. (The program simply needs to take the fullname of the document that is picked and assign that value to one of the activedocument's variables.) I'd prefer to avoid that workaround if possible.

If I retrieve a cell value by: Debug.Print ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text I get the cell value (e.g., "MyValue") with two extra characters that seem to be a carriage return and a tab line character. I am correcting this by using the following function...but I am thinking maybe there is an easier way (if not, will this function always work?): Debug.Print Left(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text, _ Len(ThisDocument.Tables(x).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text) - 2) 2. How do you retrieve tables that are in the header/footer area? These don't show up in the Tables collection under ThisDocument --- it only counts the tables in the body region (maybe this has something to do with sections). I am new to the Word object model. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Seth Tag: URLs are not formatted as hyperlinks Tag: 52829

    - Do While or While & Selection or Range Object? Hi Folks, I've written some code to check the character style in paragraphs and 'do stuff' based of the style found. First question: Is it better to use the 'Do While' clause with this (which I'm thinking it might be). Second Question: Is it better to use range instead of selection, and if so how do I convert this to ranges? I've never used ranges before and don't really know that much about the properties/methods. Any pointers/improvements gratefully accepted.

    - VBA with Word Viewer (relates to MS Access and Word) Hi all, I'm going to start by talking about MS Access, but this is a Word question and relates to the Word VBA library. The situation is I have a MS Access DB that will be running using the Access runtime environment. The application I'm developing is for a developing country, and therefore I cannot assume users will have Access or Word available. Developing the database is not a problem - there is a runtime version of Access and we have the budget to afford unlimited licenses for distribution. However, one of the outputs of the application needs to be a great variety of printed forms (tax returns, appeal applications, tax refund applications, etc) which all exist in Word format. Getting the DB to pull out data and programmatically write it to word documents is not a challenge - as long as the user has Word 2000 on their system. I'm doing it in a module in Access as below: 'get a load of data from the DB dim wordObj as Object Set wordObj = New Word.Application wordObj.Visible = False wordObj.Documents.Open "whateverTaxFormTheUserChooses.dot" 'programmatically search for placeholders in the tax form and replace with data from the DB wordObj.Visible = True 'then print it, save it etc Not a problem - BUT - can I still do this if my user does not have MS Word installed? I've downloaded the Word Viewer, which is free and great so far as all that needs to be done is to open and print a document, but from what I can tell I won't be able to use it to generate documents on the fly like I'm doing above, so I guess my question is: 1) As long as I've got the appropriate libraries enabled in Access, can I still get at the classes I need to programmatically edit Word documents even if Word is not installed? (And then display them with the word viewer). 2) Do I have any other options? Any advice from you knowledgable folks out there would be muchly appreciated.

Having entered the text, you need to use the Hyperlinks.Add method to create
a hyperlink at that point.
