    - How to perform a "pseudo" ActiveDocument.protect I have a need to prevent changes from being made to an ActiveDocument. The limitation is I'm trying to "band-aid" a 3rd party application. It breaks if the ActiveDocument is protected. I know that I can capture the user moving the mouse (i.e making a selection) via WindowSelectionChange event. How can I then prevent the user from making any changes or additions (pseudo-protect)? Is there a built-in macro(s) that I could override? Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74325

    - Hyperlinks and paste Hi, I'm using Word 2003. I have a Word document which has a hyperlink. The link "Click here" opens the URL ?page=something. When I save the document and open it, the link is just fine. But when I copy the link and paste it, save the document, close it and open it again, the URL will be: %3fpage=something (it should be ?page=something) How can I tell my VBA application not to convert "?" to "%3f"?

    - FILL IN FIELDS I have a macro which creates a document based on a template. It prompts at all the fill in fields. Can I de-activate the fill in fields until later as I have written a counter macro which searches for each fill in field in the document, prompts you for an answer (I do this so that you can see exactly where you are in the document), adds the answer to the fill in field, clears that specific field and moves onto the next one. Problem comes in that when you add the document it promps for the fill in fields which I don't want. How can I disable it. At the moment my macro looks like this: Sub Test() Documents.Add Template:="c:\templates\Articles Employment Contract.dot", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0 With ActiveDocument.Variables For i = .Count To 1 Step -1 .Item(i).Delete Next i End With Call counter End Sub Can I when I say documents.add tell it not to prompt at the fill in fields? Can I lock the fields not to update as suggested by someone else. If yes, how do I lock the fields? Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74310

    - WORD VARIABLES NOT CLEARING I have a huge vba project in word. I previously had a variable called "ELet_Heading" in my .dot document. I renamed this to "ELet_RE" and added a few more variables. When I run the macro its seems to remember what the previous variables were called and do not count through all variables although I use the following in VBA: For Each avar In ActiveDocument.Variables If avar.Name = "ELet_RE" Then num = avar.Index Next avar If num = 0 Then ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="ELet_RE", Value:=TextBox2.value Else ActiveDocument.Variables(num).Value = Textbox2.value End If I do this for each and every variable but when I do the test counting the variables it only has 10 variables instead of for instance 15 variables and looking at the avar.Name I see that it doesn't run through all the variable names. Is there a way of clearing / deleting / removing the variables attached to that template so that it can see the new variables as well. Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74293

    - Importing Excel data into Word i'd like some suggestions on how to proceed. i have an automation task i'd like to accomplish. instead of cutting and pasting data from excel to word, Iid like to dynamically generate a set of report paragraphs from each row in an excel spreadsheet. i have a report format in a word table. the excel spreadsheet has the report data and each column heading corresponds to a data field type within the word table. each row in the spreadsheet would be a different set of data and would need to be on a separate page. so, i'd like to programmatically ... fill in the word table with the first row of data, then insert a page break and generate a similarly formatted table with row 2 data, and so on until all of the rows with information have been imported into the word tables. some of the key things to consider are that I will not have a static set of excel rows for each report, so the code has to figure out how much data i have and make the appropriate number of pages in word. what is the best approach here? is it to use fields? thanks for any feedback, suggestions, or pointers to examples.

    - Add Blank Lines Prior to Table - Word2002 Hello, I have a two-column Word table which is triggered in MS Access. It properly opens Word, sets the Access data into the respective columns, obediently autoformats the Word table, saves the formatted document into a folder as .doc file on the server and opens the "Envelope Visible" feature for emailing. However, not being yet savvy in the Word-side of the programming spectrum, I have one final need and am asking if someone could please help me out with the proper method of inserting a couple of vbCrLf's prior to the insertion of the table? I've searched many sites as well as the Word vb help files and have probably seen the answer many times over but am not properly assimilating into the block of ice between my shoulder blades, sometimes known as my head. Also, does anyone know if the table autoformatting process forces the table to the top of the document anyway, where it could potentially override my needed vbCrLf (or best procedure) coding? Thank you. Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74290

    - Hyperlinks Collection Incomplete Hi, My cover page is an ordinary Word 2000 doc which has many hyperlinks (often 50 or more). Then, there is a Word macro which is coded to follow all hyperlinks and print each document. I have noticed two problems: Problem #1: The Hyperlinks collection will sometimes return the hyperlinks in the wrong sequence (not in the order they appear on the page). Problem #2: The Hyperlinks collection will miss many hyperlinks in the current document. Both problems happen more often when the hyperlinks "wrap" from one line to the next. (Yes, that's a long link, but they are indented too by several levels). In that case, the second line of the hyperlink is blue and underlined, but the first line is not. Tried these fixes: 1) Install SR-1, SR-2, and SR-3. These work for a while (about a week), then problem #1 comes back 2) Put a sequence number into the text of the hyperlink, then wrote code to print based on the value of the sequence number. Unfortunately, I discovered Problem #2. My macro prints a few documents, then it stops. All it does in my loop is to put the Address into an array. (It doesn't delete any hyperlinks ever). Sometimes, in Problem #2, the Hyperlinks collection is totally empty. Then, the macro obviously prints nothing. Yet, the hyperlinks are clearly visible on the cover page. What can I do?

    - Conditional even-page macro: bad VBA to good VBA? I wrote a macro that adds a section break with a blank page before it (blank other than saying "Blank Page" in the middle). This page appears only if it is an even-numbered page. The macro works fine, but it's made from recording within Word. I've tried to understand how to do this with better VBA but can't find a good explanation of creating and manipulating fields with VBA. (O'Reilly's "Word Macros" gives a glimpse but not enough to go on.) I'll put my code here. What I'm hoping is that someone can show how good VBA would do this. (I learned about this field from John McGhie's page at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/InsEvnPgEndChap.htm.) If you try my macro as written, your document or template needs paragraph styles called "Body Text" and "BlankPage" (mine is centered, italic, 250pt before). When your document has the conditional field in it, it must be updated to work; this usually happens automatically at appropriate times. Public AddSectBrkAndCondPage() ' ' Adds a section break and a conditional blank page saying ' "Blank page", which appears only if the preceding section ' ended on an odd-numbered page. ' Macro recorded 9/26/2005 by Christopher Brewster ' ' Conditional field will be in the following form.

    - Setting the value for CustomDocumentProperties I am trying to create a version feature in Word VBA. I've got most of it to work properly, but for some reason, I am unable to set this value. I have created both a bookmark and a Word.Variable named "Version" to handle this processing. I have correctly linked the source of the bookmark, Version, to the variable. The bookmark source correctly updates, but the bookmark value does not update correctly, and shows a broken link when I view it in the File-->Properties window. So everything is working properly, except for the updating of the Value of the Version property. Below is the code that is crashing, specifically, the line that reads, CustomDocumentProperties("Version").Value = lnkSrc. This keeps saying that the Value method of DocumentProperty has failed. Value is not a method, but a property in this instance, how can I fix this? The following code is run when the user clicks on a button to update the version number: For Each prop In ThisDocument.CustomDocumentProperties If prop.Name = "Version" Then Dim lnkSrc lnkSrc = ThisDocument.Variables(1).Value CustomDocumentProperties("Version").LinkSource = lnkSrc CustomDocumentProperties("Version").Value = lnkSrc End If Next Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74276

    - Opening File Dialog throws odd memory error Hi all, I have a line of VBA code that displays a file open dialog using the Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) object. However, sometimes when I execute the .Show method I get a message box saying "There is not enough memory or disk spec to complete the operation". I don't believe it really a hardware related issue as I'm not shot of either RAM or HD space, but more curiously if I change the object to be of type msoFileDialogPicker then it will display the dialog. In fact the problem seems to be interchangeable between the two file dialog types, i.e. they will both cause the problem at some point. So does anyone know either a) what might cause the problem in the first place? b) something I could do in my code prior to calling Show to sort out the memory? I can't catch the error either to dynamically switch object types because it seems to be raised by Word and not the VBA runtime. TIA Craig Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74271

    - This one's tough: Finding Character Styles from VBA I need to determine whether character styles are in use for any sub-portion of a Range. If you've worked with Range properties, you know that MOST properties (e.g. .Bold) return a special undefined value (such as 9999999) when the property value is not uniform over the range. However, Word uses the Range.Style property for BOTH Paragraph Styles and Character Styles. If you query the .Style property for a Range which is ENTIRELY in one Character Style, the value will be the name of the Character Style. The moment that the Range overlaps by a single character, into a run with either another Character Style or no Character Style, then the return value will be the name of the Paragraph Style for the Range. (If the Range overlaps two paragraphs with different Styles, then Range.Style will be Nothing) One solution is to check every single character in the range. That's effective, but extremely slow. Word-by-word checks would be faster, but not 100% reliable. A second solution is to examine all of the character styles in defined for the document (I'm really only interested in the ones which Word has created on its own from Paragraph styles, such as "Heading 1 Char"), map out everywhere they are in use in the document (including Footnotes, etc.), and then see whether any of those ranges overlap the areas of the document that are of interest to me. That is faster than solution 1, but requires 1-200 lines of VBA code, and is still a kludge. Does anyone have a direct and elegant way of accomplishing this? A direct cc: to me, in addition to a reply-to-group, would be appreciated. -- Fletcher James President Levit & James, Inc.

    - Objects disconnected from clients In Word 2000, I created a template with a toolbar button that runs a macro that inserts 4 returns and an AutoText entry. The AutoText entry is a "Verify No Defects" symbol that I drew in Word. It consists of a 4 grouped objects: a circle, a diagonal line, the word "Defects", and a checkmark. This AutoText inserts consistently without a problem when the toolbar button is clicked. However, I have another toolbar button that does exactly the same thing except that the AutoText entry that it inserts has 5 grouped objects: the same 4 described above and an additional check mark. This macro works fine on some occasions but on others gives this Run-time error: '-2147417848 (80010108)' Automation error. The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. Can anyone explain this error message to me and tell me how to fix the problem? I have come up with one solution but I don't like it. I copied the grouped items and pasted them into Microsoft Picture. They then became one "inline with text" object instead of a "floating" object and the macro works fine. However, I really want the floating grouped object. TIA, Vivian Carroll Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74220

The macro is: Sub Insert_Spaces() ' ' Insert_Spaces Macro ' Macro recorded 9/7/2005 by keenpar ' Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.TypeText Text:=" " Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=7 Selection.TypeText Text:=" " Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=16 Selection.TypeText Text:=" " Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1 Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine End Sub Any help will be most appreciated.

    - Text Box -- put IP at top I have a text box on a user form which receives multiple lines of text (more than a 'screenful' -- this particular text box can display only about 10 lines of text, and I have scroll bars visible). When the user clicks inside the textbox, the insertion point is always on the last line. The user has to scroll up to see the beginning of the text. I want the cursor to start at the head of the text. I have tried the CurX and CurLineX features, but cannot get them to work for me. What else can I do? Thanks, Ed Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74199

    - INCLUDEPICTURE prob When I place the merge field within the INCLUDEPICTURE it appears ok as { MERGEFIELD myfield}. However when I do a Save it instantly changes to the actual data, i.e., "MyFileName.jpg". I have a routine in the document open event that calls a routine in the dot file that reupdates all the fields. However, it never updates the picture. I have a feeling that once it gets changed in the Save as the actual data, it never changes again. What do I do to cause the picture to change from record to record?

    - Menus en Word Tengo dos .dot a.dot y b.dot. El A.dot se encarga de administrar los men=FAs, de tal manera que b o cualquier otro .dot pueda agregar sub-men=FAs bajo el mismo men=FA de la barra de menues. Cada vez que un .dot se levanta, en el AutoExec agrega los men=FAs que le son particulares. Es decir que b.dot agrega sus men=FAs cuando se carga mediante la macro AutoExec, llamando a una funci=F3n en a.dot Es l=F3gico que cuando se descarga el complemento saque los men=FAs que agreg=F3, para esto en la macro AutoExit de cada complemento se borran los men=FAs que cada uno de ellos puso. Es decir que b.dot borra sus men=FAs en la macro AutoExit, llamndo a una funci=F3n en a.dot El problema que todo esto funciona maravillosamente cuando estoy editando y corro las macros a mano mediante F5. Cuando quiero poner todo esto en producci=F3n, copio los .dot al directorio STARTUP de Word. Hecho esto y levantado el Word, no funciona. He puesto trazas, por lo que se que se ejecuta, pero no logro borrar los menues. Para pero de males, luego saco los .dot del directorio de STARTUP de Word, o sea que no hay nadie que me pueda cargar los menues, pero sin embargo aparecen. Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia ser=E1 bien venida, no duden en preguntar si hay algo que no entienden de la exposici=F3n Suerte Gustavo Tag: Using fields with VBA: need explanation Tag: 74189

I need (a link to?) an explanation with examples of how to insert and
manipulate fields using VBA. I can do it by recording, but I know there's a
cleaner, more robust way to do it.

[This was the real question in my longer post, which got no replies:

Hi Chris,

Go to http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/index.htm, click the Macros/VBA
tab, and click the sub-category "Fields, Forms & Protected Documents".
Several of the articles there, particularly the first one, have the
kind of examples you need. If you still have trouble, post a bit of
code that shows what you have and explain what you want to do.
