    - Bind a macro to a keystroke in Word 2007???? First off, I'd like to say that I hate Office 2007. :oP I hate the huge, fluffy GUI that they force you to use (since your only other option is to build an entire set of toolbars, one icon at a time, and just ignore the "ribbon"). I hate that the only features I can find are extremely obvious ones... which means that every average user is gonna think this is the best upgrade ever, and every advanced user is gonna end up pulling their hair out trying to find advanced features that they've been using for years... which brings me to my question. How do I bind a keystroke to a macro in Word 2007? Before, I would just go to Tools > Customize > Keyboard... and bind the keystroke... but now, of course, since there is no such thing as a "menu" any more, that option doesn't exist, and I can't find anything like it on the "ribbon". Anyone figure this out yet? WATYF Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94422

    - No Class or High Class For the most part, Class modules are still a mystery to me. What little knowledge I have of them was imparted by Jezebel when I was working on a project to list, count and sort spelling errors. Earlier today and OP wanted to simply list all spelling errors contained in a document in a separate document. I thought of my earlier project and passed on the link. I then started thinking about a simpler code to do exactly what the OP requested "and" prevent duplicates. Here is the result of those thoughts: Sub NoClass() Dim DupChk As Object Dim oCol As Collection Dim oSpError As Word.Range Dim i As Long Set oCol = New Collection 'Add to collection For Each oSpError In ActiveDocument.Range.SpellingErrors On Error Resume Next Set DupChk = oCol(oSpError.Text) On Error GoTo 0 If DupChk Is Nothing Then oCol.Add oSpError End If Set DupChk = Nothing Next 'Publish results Documents.Add For i = 1 To oCol.Count ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter oCol(i) & vbCr Next i End Sub That seems straightforward and does the job. To do the same thing with a class, I first inserted a class module, named it clsError and pasted in this code: Private mName As String Public Property Get Name() As String Name = mName End Property Public Property Let Name(NewValue As String) mName = NewValue End Property In the project module, I used this code: Sub HighClass() Dim oError As clsError Dim oCol As Collection Dim oSpError As Word.Range Set oCol = New Collection 'Add to collection For Each oSpError In ActiveDocument.Range.SpellingErrors On Error Resume Next Set oError = oCol(oSpError.Text) On Error GoTo 0 If oError Is Nothing Then Set oError = New clsError oError.Name = oSpError.Text oCol.Add oError, oError.Name End If Set oError = Nothing Next 'Publish results Documents.Add With ActiveDocument.Range For Each oError In oCol .InsertAfter oError.Name & vbCr Next End With End Sub This works equally as well. What again is the benefit of using a Class? Is there any benefit in this example? Thanks. Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94410

    - Document name in titlebar, step by step I want to put the path and document name in Word 2003 in the title bar, and found the following posting from a couple of years back. However, it is a bit too cryptic for me, since i don't use VBA at all. Can someone please take the info below and tell me step by step how i would do this? I would like to set up a macro to do this automatically, so if that could be explained, that would be great. Many thanks "Switch to VBA and in the immediate window type: windows(activedocument.Name).Caption = activedocument.FullName You could set up a macro to do this automatically, but I suggest you try it manually for a while. On most machines these days, the full path is so long that the result will be ugly." Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94394

    - Check box group Hi On a Word Template I have created 3 Checkbox "Not Check box Form Fields" and all these three Checkbox have an identical Groupname of Gr. Problem is when I try to create a document out of this template I can check mark all 3 check box at the same time... Isn't this supposed to be exculisve of each other. I mean I should only be able to check mark one of them and by check marking one the other two should be unchecked...

    - Copy Paste Table Problems! I have figured out a way to copy paste a table (with fieldforms). I have a macro button in my doc. which when I press copies the table in the doc. and pastes it. The code to do the that is below: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Set aDoc = ActiveDocument If aDoc.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then aDoc.Unprotect ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Range.Copy Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range _ (Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1, _ End:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1) myRange.PasteSpecial aDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End If End Sub Now, when the user fills in data in the table cells and then presses the macro button, the pasted table has the same data in its cells. Is there a way I could make sure that only the table is copy-pasted and not the data inside it? Any help would be great! Thank You Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94376

    - MI5 Persecution: cost of the operation -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= MI5: cost of the operation -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here's what a couple of other people on Usenet (uk.misc) had to say regarding the cost of running such an operation... PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell reality. What you are talking about PO: >would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of pounds and lots of PO: >people involved in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You PO: >must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth it. PM: >But why? And why you? Do you realize how much it would cost to keep PM: >one person under continuous surveillance for five years? Think about PM: >all the man/hours. Say they _just_ allocated a two man team and a PM: >supervisor. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men, PM: >#20,000 a year each. But they'd need to work in shifts -- so it would PM: >be six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more like PM: >#30,000 to the employer.) PM: > PM: >So, we're talking #30,000 x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've got the hardware involved. And PM: >any transcription that needs doing.

Over five years. What are you doing that makes PM: >it worth the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter million PM: >on you? Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my head once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to run this operation. The partial answer is, there have been periods when the intensity has been greater, and times when little has happened. In fact, for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very little happened. Although I don't think that was for reasons of money - if they can tap into the taxpayer they're not going to be short of resources, are they? The more complete answer is in the enormity of what they're doing. Relative to the cost to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for the persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or five people to try to bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To the government a million or two is quite honestly nothing - if they can convince themselves of the necessity of what they're doing, resources will not be the limiting factor. 391 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94348

    - error handler Further to problems with getting a form compiled in Word 2003 to behave properly with older versions, how can I stop my form getting closed by the error ? It's only one button on my form that calls the bound routine so another button immediately after with a hyperlink to the file can be a way to open the worksheet and do what's necessary manually. But the error closes the form so the user loses what (s)he's already filled in and doesn't get the chance to carry on. I haven't been able to find anything really helpful on the net and all it needs is some sub-routine that'll say "ignore the problem and carry on".

    - Getting round the binding / different versions problem There seem to be quite a few posts about trying to get Word and Excel to work together when the original files have been compiled in Office 2003 and users have an older version. I have the same problem. I'm sending from a Word form to Excel and getting other data back from the same worksheet. If I remove references to the Excel library I get errors (on other PCs) because bits of the code aren't recognised by that version of Excel. I thought a solution could be simply to have the Excel part of the code as a macro in that sheet. All Word has to do is open the sheet and say 'Application.Run "macro"' but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to run an excel macro from Word or am I coming up against the same incompatibility of versions ? Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94341

    - Hard return to activate "dead" hyperlink in Word... Hello. Here's my dilemma. Hope someone out there can help. I'm taking data from one program and pasting into Word (with this other program, there's really no export function, so cutting and pasting is the only way I can do this). The problem is that when I paste the information into Word, all of the hyperlinks are "dead" (that is, when you try to Ctrl+click the link, it does nothing). Of course, I can manually enter a hard return at the end of the hyperlink to activate it, but I have a TON of links and don't really want to spend time doing this. I've tried creating a macro to do this, and it does everything it should need to do to re-activate the hyperlink, but it's not. I'm actually in the VBA window, stepping through the script. I see it locate the letters "http" and move to the end of the link, then I see what looks to me like a Return/Enter, but the link never "activates." Here's the VBA code. Anyone know how I can generate a hard return that will activate a hyperlink? Thanks, Andy ================== Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "http" Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine Selection.TypeParagraph .Replacement.Text = "" Selection.TypeParagraph .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute End Sub Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94317

    - wbk managament macro Thanks to assistance in another group, I found the following macro, which saves my wbks to two directories, allowing me to delete the backups in my active directory and still have copies: Sub SaveToTwoLocations() Dim strFileA, strFileB, strFileC ActiveDocument.Save strFileA = ActiveDocument.Name 'Define backup path shown in next line below strFileB = "h:\work\backups\" & strFileA strFileC = ActiveDocument.FullName ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strFileB ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strFileC End Sub Now, I want to take it a step further and, once the second .wbk is created in the backups allow the macro to delete the original .wbk in the active directory all as part of the same macro -- in one click of the save in two places button. That way my active directories will contain only the latest version of a document, but the backup directory will contain the previous version of every file. The people in the other groups suggest I cannot do this for some reason, but I don't understand why not. So if anyone has any suggestions for command I can add to the above macro, your help will be appreciated. len Len@LGrossman.com Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94316

    - Conditionally Compile for Word 2007? Hi, I've got a template that features in menu in earlier versions of Word, and when it runs in Word 2007, I want it to use a tab on the ribbon instead. I've got the tab working, and I know how to dynamically determine (from Application.Version) if I'm running in Word 2007, so I can make it work. BUT: the module that works with the ribbon includes some declarations (such as iRibbonControl) that are not available in earlier versions of Word. So I don't think this code will work with earlier versions. What's the best way to handle this? Is there a way to conditionally compile the code? I know i can conditionally compile for a Macintosh by including #if Mac Then 'this code only included on mac versions #Else 'this code only include on PC versions #End If but I don't know how to set up a condition like that "Mac" condition that's built into VBA. The only other way i can think to do this is to declare the iRibbonControl parameters in my ribbon callbacks as variants. I assume that would work, tho it makes the code a bit tougher to understand. Any advice appreciated thanks, gary Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94312

    - File Placement/SharePoint Hiya A few months ago I created a wizard which allows users to generate a sales proposal by picking the required sections (lots of products, lots of services, different T&C's etc.), the code then finds the requested sections and creates a large file containing them all in the chosen order. This works fine. The issue is, all of our documents are soon to be placed on sharepoint, I don't really know a great deal about sharepoint, will I be able to update my code easily enough to look for the docs on sharepoint insted of in network folders?

    - Getting and setting font size of found text Dear Friends, I'm trying to write a macro that reduces the size of each chunk of text formatted with a specific font to a percentage of the font size of that chunk, i.e. if a certain chunk of text is 18pt Arial it should become 10.5pt Arial (yes I know 18*0.6 = 10.8, but Word apparently rounds down to the nearest half point, which is good enough for me), if another chunk is 12pt Arial it should become 7pt (~7.2) and so on. The macro I've written is as follows: * Sub Smaller() * With Selection.Find * .ClearFormatting * .Font.Name = "Arial" * mySize = Selection.Font.Size * With .Replacement * .Font.Size = mySize * 0.6 * End With * .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, Forward:=True, _ * Wrap:=wdFindContinue * End With * End Sub It does wrong in that it sets all text formatted in Arial to .6 times the size of the first character in the document -- regardless of what font it is. Can someone tell me how to correct this? TIA, /BP Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94293

    - VBA reference problem Hi folks, I have two word template projects. One is loaded globally from the autostart folder you can specify in the word options. This one contains a toolbar button by which the user can add a signature graphic file to the document and some basic methods (like "take the current document, save it and do something with it"). The other is a document template with some form fields and a toolbar button. When pressing the button, the form fields are read and one of the global template's methods is invoked. To be able to cll the global template's method, I need to reference that template. The global template can be found on a network resource, like \\MyServer\Templates. Everything works perfectly fine on my developing machine. When a user now clicks the button on his machine, he gets a compiler error message, that says that the global template project cannot be found. When I check the references, I have an entry like "Missing: ~w????.tmp". Back on my developing machine, the reference now points to the user temp folder and not to the network share anymore. Though, everything still works fine. How do I reference a template from a networkshare correctly? Merging the global template's code to the second template is not an option. There is a third, fourth, ... template as well (all with the same problems). And I want to avoid the maintainance effords :) Thanks for any suggestions, Tobi Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94291

    - Hyperlink modifications I defined a macro that replaces a selected text in a document with a hyperlink. Depending on the marked text I want apply to the hyperlink different properties, such as different color. My question is how can I modify the properties of a hyperlink so that: 1. the hyperlink will be marked with a double line colored with green 2. the hyperlink will appear as it is e.g. capital letters Another problem which I tried to overcome is how to change the address of the hyperlink so it will open a new form. The following code doesnâ??t work due to incomparable types in Address: Dim oHpl As Hyperlink Set oHpl = ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add _ (Selection.Range, Address:=myForm.Show, TextToDisplay:=Selection) Does Address only links to documents and websites or is possible to link the hyperlink to a form?

Alex Sub CreateWordDocument() Dim appWord As Word.Application Dim docWord As Word.Document Dim NewStyle As Word.Style Dim oRange As Word.Range Dim i As Integer i = 1 On Error Resume Next Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If appWord Is Nothing Then Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If appWord.Visible = True Set docWord = appWord.Documents.Add docWord.Styles("Bold Text").Delete docWord.Styles("Italic Text").Delete On Error GoTo 0 Set NewStyle = ActiveDocument.Styles.Add("Bold Text") With NewStyle .Font.Bold = True .Font.Italic = False End With Set NewStyle = ActiveDocument.Styles.Add("Italic Text") With NewStyle .Font.Bold = False .Font.Italic = True End With Set oRange = ActiveDocument.Range(0, 0) With oRange .Style = "Bold Text" .Text = "Bold Text" & Chr(13) End With appWord.Selection.EndKey unit:=wdStory i = i + 1 Set oRange = docWord.Paragraphs(i).Range With oRange .Style = "Italic Text" .Text = "Italic Text" & Chr(13) End With '... Set appWord = Nothing Set docWord = Nothing Set NewStyle = Nothing Set oRange = Nothing End Sub -- Alex St-Pierre Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94263

    - page/section break and text boxes I am doing a template for a client which consists of 4 master pages, which are selected via a button on the toolbar. To cut a long story short I've had to use text boxes, but I have now discovered that new page/section doesn't work in text boxes. As the button to insert new page runs a subroutine I can program anything in front of the new page command to get the focus off the text box. The only problem I have is I am not that experienced a programmer to achieve this. How do I get the focus back into the main thread of the document, preferably at the end so that the new page inserts after the current and not before. Any help would be appreciated.

    - search result in a range I'm wondering about the use of myRange.Find as opposed to Selection.Find. Is there some way I can use the former and return/determine the range of its result? Selection.Find highlights (selects) the result, but I can find no equivalent action for myRange.Find. Thanks, Andrew Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94244

    - ActiveX in doc Hi, I have written a "Signature" activex control for MS Word that allows users to sign different ranges of a document and shows crossed out signature box if the text in that range has been altered. I've put a template with a toolbar button for inserting the control into an active document. Both the control and the template (including VBA project in the template) are digitally signed and work well - no macro security warnings - while inserting new signatures to a documents. The problem arises when a user opens the signed document, the unfamous message box "c:\...test.doc contains macros ... may contain viruses..." pops up. The controls in the document will work fine no matter if the user choses to enable or disable the macros. The message box will disappear if I attach digital signature to the project (containing only empty ThisDocument module) in the document, but how can I do it programmatically? I think the message box may disappear if I set the macro security level to High, but changing the company wide policy would break a lot of users' apps. Is there any way to suppress the message box if the macro security level is medium and there is no macros in the document itself, only digitally signed activex controls? Alex.

    - problem with DocumentBeforeSave Hi! I am new user to COM objects, so sorry if the questions are easy, I tried googling it, but I didn't find the answer, so I ask you: I am writing an application. I open word document from it, sometimes the document exists, sometimes I want to open new document in word. So far I opened word and I handle DocumentBeforeSave event. I have still got three problems: 1) I would like to only catch Save and SaveAs events, not AutoSave, but from what I noticed DocumentBeforeSave catches all three of them. Can I somehow switch off the autoSave, or tell which one of these events caused the DocumentBeforeSave event? 2) I would like to prevent the document from saving after DocumentBeforeSave event is handled. I tried setting Cancel to true and SaveAsUI to false, but it does not seem to work. I read somewhere, that "Cancel = true;" should be the last operation in handling methos, or that I should call "return;" or "Exit Sub;" in VB to prevent document from saving. 3) While the Word application is opened, my main application is still running. After each save in word, I would like to refresh some components on my main frame. Now it doesn't work, I get exceptions in OnPaint event. I know that Word is opened in new thread, can it be the reason, why refreshing does not work? How can I make it work? I will be gratefull for any answers, links to some useful articles etc. Omega Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94241

    - editing using "range" slower than with "selection"...?! Good day, I have a macro that at some point has to edit text in a TOC. For some reason simply using ranges to edit the TOC body is *much* slower than using Selection. This: If myTOC.Range.Find.Execute("00000") Then For Each para In myTOC.Range.Paragraphs If InStr(1, para.Range.Text, "00000") <> 0 Then para.Range.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll End If Next para End If is slower by half than this: myTOC.Range.Select If Selection.Find.Execute("00000") Then Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll mypara = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) mypage = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) mysec = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) While Selection.Find.Execute("00000") And Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) = mysec _ And (Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) > mypage _ Or Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) > mypara) Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll Wend End If I would have thought the first is faster, simpler and altogether preferred, but any ideas why it takes over twice as long to execute?

    - Word text boxes and new page My client needs a word document that has 4 master pages, which they can choose my clicking on a toolbar icon and run a routine that puts text boxes in the appropriate position.Not being an experienced VBA progammer, I have used text boxes for them to input text, but now discover that I can not insert a new page/section into a text box. Is the logical thing to do, when the button is pushed to set the focus off the text box and how do I do that and how do I ensure that the newpage/section command goes after all the anchors so that the new page is inserted after the current and not before - or this there another way.

    - MAcro to ask for FileSelection I have recorded a macro that inserts a text file into a document and then formats the imported text. My problem is that when the macro is run it always inserts the original file that was selected in the File/Insert/selection dialogue. Is there a way to have th emacro pause while the user selects the text file to insert then continue to format the text. I tried clicking on PAUSE macro when the file selection dialogue box is open but the Macro Pause button is not active because the windows file selection box is active Tag: Word 2003 - Fixing Styles in Templates Tag: 94234

    - go to word (relative) number Hello, sorry if this has been brought up again, but i can't seem to find it. What I am looking for is a macro that would get me to a specified number of words (which I could define everytime i run the macro) down the document, starting to count from the current selection point, not from the beginning of the document.

    - open document or cancel command macro I need to write a macro for a word document which allows users to insert an electronic signature (jpeg file). The problem is this needs to be password protected. Can anyone suggest how i might add security, or at least if I have the jpeg copied into a password protected word document, how I may at least write a error dialogs if they select "Cancel" or input an incorrect password?

    - Error with execute method of Find object I have used code like this several times to change the formatting of text on protected forms, but now I seem to be getting errormessages like "command not available" or "method or property is not available because the object refers to a protected area of the document". The bookmark or formfield the selection refers to is the one of the sections of the document that is not protect so the user can enter in their information. How can I get around this problem? Another point it is works for several other bookmarks (formfields) in the document but not others? Why? I have had similar problems with inserting tables into forms at bookmarks as well sometimes it works other times it doesn't and I can't seem to find out why? I have been writing the code using Office 2000 because a lot of the user are still using that product. ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("txtContributor").Select With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = strTmp .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Replacement.Font.Bold = True .Replacement.Text = strTmp .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne End With Thanks for your time and help.

Hi there,

Can anyone provide any suggestions on how to fix styles in Word 2003
Template documents?

I believe it is possible to code VBA to get the styles to revert back
at close/open of the document, if the styles are changed by the user
in anyway.

Thanks,
Nikki

There's no need for code to do this in Word 2003 (users of earlier
versions aren't so lucky).

Click Tools > Protect Document. In the resulting task pane, check the
box "Limit formatting to a selection of styles" and then click the
"Settings" link below it. Leave check marks next to the styles you
want to allow users to apply in documents based on the template, and
uncheck those that are forbidden. The allowed styles can't be
modified.

No need for VBA.

1. You can check 'Automatically update document styles' on the Tools >
Templates and add-ins dialog: styles are re-set when the document opens.

2. You can use Tools > Protect Document to preclude the users deviating from
standard styles in the first place.
