    - Selecting just one word in document When I use: Selection.Words.Count with nothing selected I get Selection.Words.Count =1 I get the same result when I actually select just one word (which I expected). Likewise if I use Selection.Words.First, I get then next word after cursor. How do I know if the user REALLY just selected one word? thanks Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90362

    - Setting savepath through Word Automation. Hi. I'm currently using MS Word automation to open up a template and fill in user information automatically based on the person who opened it. However I can't figure out how to set the savepath so when the user chooses to save, the save dialog goes to the path given by me. Does anybody have any solutions regarding this?

    - Transfer Calculator Result I know how to display the Microsoft calculator in Word. MS says that a two step 'Copy/Paste' operation is the only way to capture the result of a calculation. Is there any way via VBA to more directly capture the answer and automatically get the calculator's answer into the document or into a form field (by clicking one button, for example)?

    - Creating a second word instance to run my project (Word 2000) Hello I have one last obstacle to overcome with my project. At this stage it is working more or less as i want it, application is hidden with only a userform in view, and my labels are printing out fine, time after time of button clicking, documents are opening and closing correctly etc etc. My (final???) problem now is that when I close the applicatiion the way I need to, ie Application.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges - so that its ready to be used again another time, it also closes with it any documents that are laying open at the bottom of the screen - this could well cause much anguish amongst the users who (hopefully) will be using it in our office, and I'm sure to become little miss unpopular!! I think one option, if it can be done, would be to fire up the document in a new instance of word, separate from the one that is already open with documents at the bottom of the screen. Is this possible, and if so can someone point me in the right direction of where to place the required code. I have seen some code in a book that will open an instance of word from another program - do I do this in the same way? And where should the start up code be placed?

    - VBA Code I have a seeming simple task that I can't figure out. I have a macro set up to refresh a query and then do some copying and pasting of cells. What code can I use to tell the macro to wait until the query is finished refreshing until it does the copy and paste? Here is the simple code. Sub GetData() ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll ' I need the following code to be run after the refresh is finished' Range("J5").Select Selection.Copy Range("J6:J65000").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Application.CutCopyMode = False ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-1 Range("D1").Select End Sub Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90343

    - Macro created one day, next day gone I created a Macro, save to two places by gmayor. I was going to go in and edit it. Today it is gone. Totally gone. I had saved, closed it, gone back to it two or three times, and even added it to one of my drop down menus. It's dead, Jim. Where did it go? Do I have to recreate it every time? WTH!?

    - Macros to delete track changes and comments Is there a macro code that I could use to remove all track changes and comments (not just hide them) before saving and sending a document? I've tried the Reject and Accept Changes, but sometimes if I click Reject all changes, it takes away changes that weren't tracked to begin with. And I always have to go to View > Markup, making sure that markup is checked, in order to reject and accept. Sometimes I'll have to delete comments separately, sometimes I just click Accept all changes and it gets rid of them. Is there one process that will work the same for everyone? (everyone here is upgrading to 2003 and we have to republish some old docs) This is confusing to instruct others about, since docs were saved in different ways with different kinds of markups. I don't want to use the Remove Hidden Data tool because it messes up templates and other settings. thanks Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90311

    - resolving combo box data to HTML e-mail hi, I am creating a template in word to replace an existing paper based form with a e-mailed word document. To do this i am using VBA in word to send the document once finished and i am using several combo box's to select data on the document. The problem i am having is that when the template is sent (as HTML) the data selected in the combo box's is not sent. I would like to have it set so that only the text selected in the combo box is sent - without any of the actual comboi box. (i am aware that the combo box can be sent by activating active x in outlook, however i was hoping that there might be another way) where can i find the answer??? thanks.

    - ListBox_Click event does not work! I used ListBox couple of times and each time the click event worked fine, but in one particular userform the ListBox_click does not work! However it "works" when i set listbox selected value via code, for example: ListBox1.Selected(0)=True but when i click a value on the listbox, the event simply does not "fire"... I checked this by placing the breakpoints inside of the click event. Of course, nothing "breaked" because event doesnt fire.... Please help. Thanks. Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90299

    - Updating Table of Contents Hi. I'm trying to update a Table of Contents (TOC) from a macro. Nothing I try works. When I do it manually, I get a prompt that asks me if I want to replace the TOC. None of the methods seem to take a parameter for replacing the TOC, which is what I need to do. Recording the manual operations basically gives the same code that I am using, but it doesn't work at run time. Here's what I have now: For Each aTOC In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents aTOC.Update aTOC.UpdatePageNumbers Next aTOC What is the trick to regenerating a TOC that works every time?

    - assigning variable to DB field value In the following code (brackets [] replace actual path name, etc.), what is the syntax for assigning the value of the database field to a variable? And a few more questions: What would be the equivalent code for doing the same but using a recordset just to get the data field value then assign it to a variable?

If I didn't want to use the .odc shown below, what would be the correct syntax to just reference an Access database named DB.mdb?

    - adding autotext to a template Jonathan is now on holiday - can anyone else help in his abence please? We have been corresponding over the last few months - please see below. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm getting quite frustrated now!! cheers I have a letter template macro as a form chooser and I would like to add various autotext in a list so that they can be added to the address bookmark in the template. Is there a way or would I have to add each company name to a module as an additem and then put the addresses in a macro in the form chooser? If there is a better way which will pick up the autotex which are contained in a global template in startup then that would be great as then I wouldn't have to add a new macro every time someone requires a new address adding to the list. Many thanks Addy In VBA, you can create a loop to iterate through the AutotextEntries collection of any Template object, get the Name property of each AutoTextEntry in turn and use Additem to add that to the listbox in your form. Something like this Dim oTemplate As Template Dim oAuto as AutotextEntry Set oTemplate = Addins("My Global Template.dot") For Each oAuto in oTemplate.AutoTextEntries ListBox1.AddItem oAuto.Name Next oAuto Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP I tried the below but it doesn't seem to work. Please could you let me know what I am doing wrong. The below bit I put in my form chooser:- Dim oTemplate As Template Dim oAuto As AutoTextEntry Set oTemplate = AddIns("legal.dot") The below was put in a new module:- With frmChooser 'frmchooser is my form (a letter template) For Each oAuto In oTemplate.AutoTextEntries CBOAddress.AddItem oAuto.Name Next oAuto .Show End With Anyone any ideas please? Addy Hi Addy This line is wrong CBOAddress.AddItem oAuto.Name Its should be this .CBOAddress.AddItem oAuto.Name Note the extra period at the start of the line. That is what links it to the "With frmChooser" statement Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP Many thanks. I've changed that but now it doesn't like this line: For Each oAuto In oTemplate.AutoTextEntries When I hover over oAuto it says its empty Cheers Addy step the through the code. After you get to this line Set oTemplate = AddIns("legal.dot") check whether oTemplate is actually assigned to anything. If it isn't, then you need to fix that object assignment. If it is correctly assigned, then check the value of oTemplate.AutoTextEntries.Count. If it is zero, then oTemplate doesn't have any autotext entries in it. Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP > I've managed to get my otemplate to be assigned to legal.dot but it says > my > oauto is empty and I don't know why because there are autotext enteries in > legal.dot. This is what I've got so far:- > > These are both in my form chooser:- > > Dim oTemplate As Template > Dim oAuto As AutoTextEntry > > The below are in a separate module:- > > With frmChooser 'frmchooser is my form (a letter template) > > Set oTemplate = AddIns("o:\msoffice97\winword\startup\legal.dot") > Set oAuto = AutoTextEntry (put this in entra as it wouldn't work) > > For Each oAuto In oTemplate.AutoTextEntries > .CBOAddress.AddItem oAuto.Name > Next oAuto > .Show > End With > > Do you have an e-mail address that I could maybe sent my whole document to > you on to find out where I'm going wrong as it is a long and complex form Addy OK send it to jwest@mvps.org.

    - MoveUntil method hangs Hello, I have a macro that causes Word to hang when the macro is run in a document that contains comments (the comment "bubbles"). In my macro, I use the Selection.MoveUntil method and pass in a negative number or the wdBackward constant. If the current selection is in front of a comment, MoveUntil hangs word if I try to "back up" over the comment. Here is a simple macro that shows the problem: Public Sub GoToPrevStar() Selection.MoveUntil "*", wdBackward End Sub Here is an example of a simple document that can be used to reproduce the problem: "The * [insert comment here]quick brown fox" If I place my cursor after the comment (for example, between quick and brown) and run the GoToPrevStar macro, Word hangs. If I take out the comment, the macro works fine. I have tested this in Word 2003 and Word 2002 and it hangs in both versions. Has anyone heard of this problem or a workaround?

    - Using a list box in a word document I am creating a dictation form for a surgeons office and I used drop down boxes for the user to add in information. However, the Doc would like the user to be able to select more than one item in a drop down box. I do see, from the controls, that a list box or a drop down box can be placed into the document so the user can select more than one item. My problem is getting the list box or combo box to function. I am not familiar with the VBA language. I have been searching MSDN but the information I do find seems to be for VB and has not been helpful.

    - How to copy RTF into another application? Hello, I have a macro that parses a Word Document (a resume) and creates an Outlook contact out of it. I then copy and paste the entire contents of the document to the Notes field in Outlook.

    - ComboBox Macro Issue!? I am hoping I am posting this question to the right group. I have been working on a word template form (Word 2003 Professional). On another discussion group I was informed about ComboBoxes and have used three in this particular form. Two of these are working JUST FINE...the third unfortunately has caused me some headaches. The first problem was that when I placed all the info in the array for the list...it for some reason refused to let me save...stating that the disk was full (which it was not). It finally gave up and crashed on me...forcing me to redo the combo box...this time it worked fine and allowed me to save but now for some reason it is not showing the list items!? They are there in VB...but when I go back to the form and attempt to use the form...they don't show! Any suggestions? Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90216

    - Finding where to insert special characters (Referring to the text below the line) Until recently a list of meetings was sent out as a printable .rtf file. Now we have a Meetings page on our website but I still have to send out a printable document or hard copy to a few members who do not have a net connection. Having copied the Meeting page and pasted into Word as plain text I need to compress each event into a single paragraph, with a Manual Line Break separating everything after the meeting subject. Unfortunately it is beyond me to do this other than manually because the line break needs to come before Host or Contact or Cashier or Reception, whichever is first. Sometimes there is only a Contact, sometimes there is a Host and sometimes there is neither so the Cashier comes first. With earlier MVP help I now have a macro which recognises the date and time and places a tab between date and time and between time and venue. I doubt we shall ever be able to automatically put a tab between venue, meal and speaker. However it should be possible to put a manual line break ahead of whichever comes first of Host, Contact, Cashier or Reception. Then, I wonder if there is a way of replaceng the paragraph marks with a ", " between each remaining item.

    - How can I set up Word to calculate a value and show it in a form? Hello, I am working on a nursing shift turn over form. One of the things I would like to do is set it up to calculate length of a baby. We enter in the CM and in another block it automatically calculates the inches. I have the CM box set as a number, and has a bookmark of Text36. Then my next box is for inches. It is bookmarked Text37. I have it set as a calculation. In the expression box I have = Text36 / 2.54. When I save out of the Field Options box it does the calculation and puts the correct value in there. When I protect the form and use it, no matter what I put in Text36 (the CM box) it doesnt change Text37 (the inches box.) Is there a way to do this? Does someone know an example maybe that I could look at to get it to work? Thank you so much for your time. Andrew Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90202

    - Tabbing in Microsoft Word - Disabled Fields and VBA Hi all This is a query about tabbing in a protected Word Document (v2003), with disabled controls. In the word document there are OleControls. Some of these oleControls are disabled so no text cannot be entered into them. However whilst tabbing from an enabled field to a disabled field the cursor gets "stuck", and cannot move from the disabled from by tabbing. The user needs to use the mouse. To work around this I have developed vba code to set the order of tabbing like this. Control 1 - Name : Customer Control 1 - Type : textbox Control 1 - State :enabled Control 2 - Name : CustomerId Control 2 - Type : textbox Control 2 - State :disabled Control 3 - Name : Address Control 3 - Type : textbox Control 3 - State :enabled I have developed vba code to link a keydown event on the customer field to the address field, if the key input is a tab key private sub cusomer_keyDown(byval keyCode as MSforms.ReturnInteger, _ byval shift as integer) if keyCode = VBA.vbKeyTab then Address.select End if End sub The problem is, most of the time this works, however on certain computers with the same version of Word installed as mine, the tabbing does not follow this order ! It seems to create a random order, and positions the oleControl on a different textbox, one that was not specified in "tab-linking" I have come to this discussion group to find if anybody has experienced the same issue as this, and to look for a fix or a work around to this. Thanks in advance Joseph Tag: Word version independent macros Tag: 90201

Hi,

I have created word template with some subs and functions. Generally
this macros, copy content of other .doc dokument and paste it to active
document, create tables and format text. I created this template in
wrod 2003. But it turned out that this template will be used on
computers where are Word versions form 97 to 2003 and in the future
perhaps 2007.
So my question is what can I do to make this template (especialy macros
in this template) Word version independent? Can I use objects like
ActiveDocument, Selection??? Or Should I rewrite this macros using late
binding???

Any help, suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards,
sweet_dreams

Test your macros on the Word 97 machine. If they will run there, they will
run on all the later versions. ActiveDocument and Selection objects have
been around since W97; but obviously there are all the Word features that
have been added since, that you can't use if the code has to run on W97.
There are also some VBA functions that have been added since 97 (Split and
Join come to mind) not sure what else.

You can do version-specific work using constructions like --

Dim pWordApp as object
Set pWordApp = Application
if pWordApp.Version > 10 then
pWordApp.[method added after Word 10]
else
msgbox "Can't do that with this version of Word"
end if

But your application will quickly become unmanagable if you do much of this.
