    - Extracing scetions of a document Hi I am after some advice on how to proceed. I would like to write some code to extract certain sections out of a document and copy them into a new document. Is it better to use sections or bookmarks? These sections may span multiple pages. Any advice would be very gratefully received.

    - changing a certain word in many files. Hi everyone , I have a folder with hundreds of one page word documents.

    - EXE that invokes Word won't run macros I have a Windows 2003 scheduled task parsing process that calls Word 2003 and runs a specified Word macro, however, the macro will not run unless the user is logged in. I know you can configure the Word Document Properties, via the identity tab, to use a specific user to run the application, however, I want to use the launching user and not require a user to be logged into windows. I've tried security settings in macros with no luck. Any ideas?? Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105143

    - Spawned document from Template (Dot) loses macros Here is a screenshot I am working on: http://www.jkfweb.com/files/Example.JPG The file is a .Dot template file. It works great normally when a user opens from the Template and fills in the appropriate information. I have a few users who want to open the file, fill in there name and the Company Name and other appropriate fields and then save that as a .dot file. This would allow them to not have to re-type and look up the information everytime. The problem is the macros are apparently not being copied when word spawns document1 from the template. I'm assuming this is normal word behavior, but haven't been able to find a solution on word.mvps.org and a quick search in newsgroups didn't find the solution either. Any ideas how to get the macros to go into the newly spawned document as they are used to create new rows, do some error correction, and formatting of fields. Thanks in advance for any help.

    - Toggle symbols with VBA I'm trying to set up a roster where I can click on a symbol in front of a person's name and it will change from an "X" to a "O". I'm an expert at Excel VBA, but not familiar with Word VBA. Can someone give me some ideas on how I could set up a macro to allow the user to check on a symbol (or character) in front of a person's name in a list and it would toggle between 2 or 3 symbols? The list will be dynamic, so I need to write some generic code that can identify which symbol is clicked on and toggle it to the next symbol. Thanks.

    - Remove character style with direct formatting I have text styled with a custom character style. Some of that text also has direct formatting applied (bold, ital, etc.). I need to remove the character style, but retain the direct formatting. Possibly I also need to retain any font formatting provided by the style as. I can do this: For Each c In Selection.Characters Set f = c.Font.Duplicate c.Font.Reset c.Font = f Next c but this is slow and I keep thinking I'm missing a simpler, faster way to do this. Any suggestions? Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105132

    - How do I compare dates in Word 2007? Is there some esoteric programming practice within Word 2007 that allows the comparison of dates?

    - select all rows of a table except the first row Hi I have a macro that does a bit of formatting to any table that the cursor is placed in. I can select the whole table easily: Selection.Tables(1).Select and can select individual rows too: Selection.Rows(1).Select but I now need to select every row except the first one (2-x) where x could be any number, depending on how big the table is. Maybe some way of counting the rows in the table first (x) and then using that number to select rows 2-x? Or maybe select row 2, perform the action, and move to next row and repeat until there are no more rows in table 1? Any other suggestions? What would the syntax be? thanks.

    - Calling a macro I have a VBA macro that I am using and I want to call another macro. I have been tried the two versions of calling a macro below. Application.Run MacroName:="[PrintHRFormsRep]" Application.Run "'Shreveport.doc'!NOH.PrintHRFormsRep" But I keep getting an error message that says: Unable to run the specified macro. The document that I am working in has a range set called noticeplus. Then I want to call a macro that will open another document, print it, close it and revert back to the previous active document. Both macros work independently, but I want to be able to use them together. It occurred to me on the way home tonight that maybe it had something to do with the range being set. Is there another way to call a macro when a range is set? Both macros are in the same template and module. Thanks for any help. Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105096

    - Form repaint problem I have a VBA form to provide the user with status on a long-running macro. Normally, the status updates happen every few seconds without error. Sometimes, however, the form doesn't update at all, and can even generate a "(Not Responding)" error in the form's title bar. The macro completes successfully, but the user thinks it's frozen. I'm calling form.Repaint after I update the status text. Why might that be working some of the time and not all of the time? It does seem to be related to switching from Word to another app and back again, but it's not consistent. I've also heard of the DoEvents command, to yield control to the OS, but I've seen conflicting advice about how and when to use that. Any suggestions? I can provide code samples, but really, I'm just updating the text in the form and then calling .Repaint. Thanks, Ben Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105095

    - Word from Excel PasteSpecial Bitmap Problem Dear All, I am having a very strange and odd problem with Excel and Word. If you could kindly propose any solution ideas, I shall appreciate it very much. I have a reporting VBA application on the Excel. Smoothly produces all the reports. I have to put the reports in a Word application. The reports are not fixed row and column sizes. I have to generate a Bitmap image of the Excel report and tried to Paste it in the Word Application. Very strangely, on the very first runs no problems. It worked, I had the reports Bitmap pics on Word beatifully as I wanted but then later something happened, may be the ghost in the machine. Excel VBA is copying the range and sending it to the Word application but, the pasted bitmap is a blank object, sadly, very sadly nothing inside. In order to complete my reports on time, I tried a backdoor tactic and created a Word macro doing the PasteSpecial Datatype:=wdPasteBitmap and assigned it to a keyboard shortcut macro. Bingo! It worked. However it is taking so long to complete a full set of report with approx. 200 x 30 Cntrl-Qs and shifting between the applications is awfully open to error. I have tried another backdoor route because I were running short on time, I tried the Sendkeys method but unfortunately, the same ghost in the same machine, very first few runs it worked, then generated empty objects. I cleaned the Clipboard if incase there is a memory related problem. No progess. I tried to pause the code before and after the PasteSpecial steps. No progess. Then I wondered if the Excel Bitmap function is not working properly so I tried a code to generate my own bitmap pictures, which worked fine, but the same ghost in the same machine, blank pages were there after the second or third runs so sadly and so misfortunately. I tried the 2007 and 2003 vers. of Excel but sadly, very same. I am working on a licenced XP Pro and licenced Office Pro Pentium 4 with 4GbRAM and lots of disk space. If you may need to see the code, I shall send the code as well. If some Guru could help fiding the ghost in the machine, I shall be more then gratefull.

    - Word VBA refernces to .tlb I have a vs2007 project using created extensibility add-in for Word 2007. As such I must load my dotm file, switch to developer/visual basic (ALT F11), selected references, locate the .tlb file and add it. This all works fine as does the .net code The problem occurs (occasionally) as I make changes to the .net code. Sometimes when I initiate the Word process, I will get a dialog box "could not open macro storage". When I start Word, load the .dotm file, ALT F11 to open VBA and check references, I notice the .net project I am using is listed as missing. It still has a check beside it. I uncheck to project, close references, open references again, locate the project name (it is still in the available refernces - just un checked), recheck the project, save and close the .dotm, I am once again able to use word as expected with the addin functioning correctly This does not happen every time I change the project code. I often transfer the solution and develop on other computers then transfer to solution back to the original development computer. This effort always requires the dropping of the project and then locate anc check it in VBA. I expect this project to be in use for at least 5 years with many changes to the code. I have worked out a deployment scheme that will auto deploy and install the project as users login. The requirment to reload the reference in VBA will be a problem. Is there a registry change that I can record and push back during deployment? Where is the information aboout loaded refences in VBA for Word maintained? How can I inform Word (in an automated way) that the refernce to the .tlb file is valid? Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105051

    - Userform Coding Problem that I need help with! I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out a coding problem that I SCREWED UP. I had this code in my Microsoft Word VB Editor that you see below. The code worked PERFECTLY until I stupidly tried to edit it without first making a backup. I know, first rule of any work is to make a backup, so I can't believe I forgot to do that. As an FYI, the "code" contained below was interfacing with one of my Excel Workbooks, and allowed me to chose a client name from a dropdown menu (in Excel), and when the name was chosen, Excel would call up a "Word", and the Userform that was created would also open. This would then allow me to input narrative comments into the Userform. As a result of my "editing", I can select a client name (on the Excel Workbook), but "Word" and "The Userform" no longer opens (actually it looks as if it is trying to open, but cannot). If some kind and knowledge person could look at the code below and let me know if you see anything that I am leaving out I'd greatly appreciate it.

    - IF Field breaking bullets Hello, i'm have having a problem in Word 2003 for PC. When I create an IF field as part of a bulleted list, the indent is correct but the bullet is removed. The problem seems to be caused by the carriage return in the result of the IF field. this causes the bullet to be removed on whichever line the field is placed. A few examples follow (? is the bullet point): EXAMPLE 1 ï?§ Bullet 1 { IF "T" = "T" "Bullet 2" "Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 Bullet 2,3 and 4 are being inserted by an IF Field and if the condition is true then Bullet 2 is inserted, otherwise Bullet 3 and 4 are inserted. RESULT 1 ï?§ Bullet 1 Bullet 2 ï?§ Bullet 5 however, the problem is that the bullet point for Bullet 2 is removed. EXAMPLE 2 ï?§ Bullet 1 { IF "T" = "F" "Bullet 2" "Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 notice that the IF field should display Bullet 3 and 4 now RESULT 2 ï?§ Bullet 1 Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4 ï?§ Bullet 5 in this case Bullet 4 was inserted correctly. but again no bullet for the first one. the perplexing case is when the IF conditional field is inserted after Bullet 1. EXAMPLE 3 ï?§ Bullet 1{ IF "T" = "T" " Bullet 2" " Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 this should insert a hard return before Bullet 2. this results in: RESULT 3 Bullet 1 ï?§ Bullet 2 ï?§ Bullet 5 any help would be appreciated Andre' Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105043

    - An alternative to "Forms" Hi. I'm working with Vista and Word 2007. I'm trying to create some templates for documents. I'd like to be able to have certain locations/spots within the document that I can hit a key, quickly jump to and enter in some information, then hit a key and jump to the next pre-designated location to enter in more information. I realize that a "form" allows this, by tabbing. But it has two problems: 1) It is cumbersome--I find that when I set up a form, from then on the typing within it slows down to an excruciating pace, undoing the time-saving of the quick jump. 2) Forms open in "protected" mode, and in my documents I will not only be entering info in some spots, but I will be modifying info in other locations, so I have to stop and "unprotect" after I've done the "form" part, and it would be easier to just move through the document from top to bottom, jumping to some spots, then stopping and modiying some info in others. At a former workplace, Word had been modified so that when you hit "F9", it would jump to some pre-set spot, which was designated in the template with something like {ASK }. I don't know whether this was a macro with a field, or what. But it met the need I described above--I could jump from spot to spot, enter in new info, then make changes to some of the text that was pre-set. Would anyone know how to achieve this in my current documents? I am advanced at Word features, but not at all knowledgeable about programming.

The document will be used for Property Management (inventory)control, but now they would like the form printed out in duplicate, on carbonless copy paper. Is there a VBA string that I could apply to the sequential numbering to duplicate a copy of each number? Thanks very much in advance for any help with this.

    - Problems with Replace Hello, I'm a little bit new to Word VBA. Been working with Excel VBA for a while. I built the following macro to delete text that had the style of "Instructions" applied to it. The idea is for the user to execute this after they're done filling out the document. For the most part, it works well. There are a couple of problems however. If the instructions are immediately followed by a table, inserted JPG, etc. it doesn't delete the preceeding text. It could be a single space, a line of text, whatever. The issue is when the text (styled with "Instructions") immediately preceeds something WITHOUT a hard return, it doesn't get deleted. Please give me some guidance. I appreciate your help. Sub Test2() Dim objDocumentRange As Range Dim strTargetStyle As String Dim strResultText As String strTargetStyle = "Instructions" strResultText = "" Set objDocumentRange = ActiveDocument.Range With objDocumentRange.Find .Style = strTargetStyle .MatchAllWordForms = True .Text = strResultText .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With End Sub -- Programmer on Budget Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105002

    - Applying a paragraph style SOMEtimes wipes out bold/ital--why? Hi all, This is a very odd problem, much more easily explained with a sample file, which I can email to you if you're interested. Simply put, I'm applying a paragraph style in Word XP (2002) to various paragraphs. The style does not apply or remove bold, italics, or underlines, so I assumed it wouldn't affect those character styles when they're present in the paragraphs I'm styling. Mostly, that's the case, but not always. Which is very confusing to me! There are three basic scenarios, and the third one does NOT act the way I think it should: 1) I apply the style to a "Normal" paragraph with SOME bold or italics. As expected, the bold and italics remain after the style has been applied. 2) I apply the style to a "Normal" paragraph that is ENTIRELY bold, italicized, or both. Word XP seems to treat the bold/ital as a modification of the "Normal" paragraph style ("Normal+Bold", say, for the whole para) instead of being character styles. Therefore, the style I applies wipes out the bold/ital. I guess I can see why that would happen. 3) This is the mystery. I have a row in a two-column table in which one cell is entirely bold and one is not. I merge the two cells, then replace the paragraph mark Word inserts with a tab, so it's all one paragraph. The resulting paragraph consists of non-bold text, then a tab, then bold text. Applying the style to this paragraph wipes out the bold. If I copy and paste this paragraph outside the table, the same thing happens. The end result is a sample file I can send in which there are two paragraphs, one from scenario 1 and one from scenario 3. They both LOOK the same--they're not bold until the last word. But applying the same style to each causes bold to be kept in the first case and dropped in the second. I know that scenario 3 is complicated, but I can't tell why the merging, find-and-replace of the tab, etc. would cause that paragraph to behave strangely. Finally, to conclude this epic post, this is not limited to any particular set of paragraphs--it happens consistently across many hundreds of pages of material. Anyway, the sample file is far easier to understand than this lengthy post, so let me know if you want to see it. Many thanks in advance--I'm afraid I really don't understand the "Paragraph Style + Character Style" issues at all. Ben Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 105001

    - Is this possible or am I crazy? Hi Everyone, I work at a telephone call site. Currently we use a freeware program that uses the Net Send command in conjunction with a database that allows us to send instant pop up messages to individuals and preassigned groups of people. The problem I am running into is that every time IT pushes out an update I have to run around to apx 100 machines and reinstall the program. What I am wondering is do any one think it would be possible to convert this to a web page? I am a newbie to Front Page and know enough about Access to make me dangerous. :) I do have a couple of Front Page books to help me if any one thinks this project is even possible. What I visualize is a drop down box to select recipients an input area for the message and a button when clicked would send the message. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Have a GREAT day and weekend everyone!!! Deb Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 104999

    - "Save-as" to docm format I placed the 'save as' command on my customize toolbar so I could select the default format easily. I also set my default save option to the macro enabled. When I click the customize dropdown and select the default file type, it comes up as a .docx format. I am trying to automate this somewhat to go through a whole series of files and I don't see a batch conversion wizard. -- Del Jackman Civil Engineer Mankato, MN Tag: Word 2002 TOC format does not update correctly Tag: 104996

    - Pathname for IncludeText for server file -network disk IncludeText for Word 2003 needs a pathname to define where the file is. It works well (with the double \\'s) if the file is on the originating PC. Does not work if on Networked Disk. Looking at DocProperties & Explorer, etc. only gives "\\Server\documents\filename But doesn't \Network or something need to be prefixed too ? Or maybe 3 \\\'s or something ? Or maybe C:\\Users\\owner\\Desktop\\Network\\Server\\documents\\filename... ALL examples show as C: ... etc. So maybe C:\Network\Server... or similar ?

    - Auto Filling Headers I am creating a template for memo's and other transmittals and need to come up with a way to make whatever is written in the subject, project, and date fields at the top of the document to auto populate in the header of each subsequent page. I have a feeling this will be accomplished with bookmarks and REF fields, but beyond that I am completely stumped. Thanks for the help.

I have a big document and I inserted a table of contents. I selected
specific formatting for each TOC level, but my formatting is not
applied. Instead the formatting of the TOC (fonts type, font size,
Bold, Italic, ...) is all wrong.
Can you please tell me how can I modify those styles?

Thank you

P.S. If there is already a response to this question please help me
find it. thanks

How did you format the *headings*? Note that any direct formatting applied
to them (that is, formatting that does not come from a heading style) will
reflect in the table of contents entries.
