    - Memory not freed after closing Word Documents Hi, I've written a process using VBA to convert a bunch of word documents into RTF files. I'm not using the Batch Conversion wizard that comes with MS Word because the docs are password protected. I ran a test run and all worked well, except for one problem. After closing each document, the memory doesn't seem to be freed up, and gradually the used memory ramps up till the system chokes. This started to happen processing 2000 documents and I have about 100,000 documents to process.

    - TOC is picking up extra styles In Word 2002, I recorded the following code to insert a TOC. Note that it is only supposed to pick up four styles "C-Heading 1, C-Heading 2, C-Heading 3, and C-Table Step 2." The problem is that it is also picking up styles "C-Heading 4" and "C-Table Step 3." All of the "C-Heading" styles are based on to C-Heading 1 as part of an outline numbering scheme. The "C-Table" styles are based on the C-Heading styles of the same number and are then modified (for example, C-Table Step 3 is based on C-Heading 3). How can I modify the code to prevent it from picking up C-Heading 4 and C-Table Step 3 in the TOC? With ActiveDocument .TablesOfContents.Add _ Range:=Selection.Range, _ RightAlignPageNumbers:=True, _ UseHeadingStyles:=False, _ IncludePageNumbers:=True, _ AddedStyles:="C-Heading 1,1,C-Heading 2,2,C-Heading 3,3,C-Table Step 2,2", _ UseHyperlinks:=True, _ HidePageNumbersInWeb:=True, _ UseOutlineLevels:=False .TablesOfContents(1).TabLeader = wdTabLeaderSpaces .TablesOfContents.Format = wdIndexIndent End With TIA, Vivian Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand.

    - ini or reg- where can I find path to templates and desktop? If anyone has a code snippet that would be fine too, but I'm not opposed to spending additional hours trying to wrestle this to death...I'm a slow learner, but eventually brute force attempts get me something that works... I had a template that worked fine on Win95 and Win98 (untested on Win2K). When we were upgraded to XP, one of the things that broke was the installation routine (tries to write to the template directory) and the other thing that broke was my ability to create and append information to a .txt file on the desktop, because in XP the desktop has a different path (I was hardcoding the path before). Given the numerous versions of both Win OS and Word that are all operating now (I need to be backward compatible to Word97 on Win95, and upward to the most current stuff) what is the most reliable method to identify where a .dot should install itself (yes, I use a routine so if the activated dot is _not_ in the template directory, it installs a copy of itself then closes) and also to locate the path to the desktop of whatever machine it is on?

    - Help With Error Handling Please I have code that I can't work out the error handling. It is used to find text and replace with AUTOTEXT. There is an error handler that will detect an incorrect process for inserting the AUTOTEXT when the dialog opens. Basically you select the entry in the dialong and press insert. If OK or Canel is pressed the handler displays a message and then starts again at the beginning. All works well, the first time a User goons ups the insert. However, I deal will very talented goons and if the Users messes up a second time then a Run Time Error "The method or property is not available because the object is empty."

    - Overflow Error Word 2000 This question may be a little difficult to answer just from the small snippet of code that I'm posting, but I'll try to explain what is happening. I have the following code: While RecordEnd < cbDataLength AddToLocatesCollection = True FindMessageMarker RecordEnd = InStr(RecordStart, cbData, MessageMarker) + MarkerLength + 1 RecordLength = RecordEnd - RecordStart + 1 cbDataClip = Mid(cbData, RecordStart, RecordLength) GetRecordNumber CheckForClearedTag If AddToLocatesCollection Then CheckRecordExclusionsCollection If AddToLocatesCollection Then CheckLocatesCollection If AddToLocatesCollection Then CheckDocument If AddToLocatesCollection Then LocatesCollection.Add (cbDataClip) RecordStart = RecordEnd + 1 Wend Basically, the contents of cbData come from the clipboard (read in by another routine), so cbData can contain a HUGE chunk of information. So I chop up the data and feed it in pieces into cbDataClip. I then pull out a number of important pieces of information (GetRecordNumber and CheckForClearedTag), and then run several tests on the data to see if I want to add it to a collection. The collection that data gets added to is eventually processed again, and all the items in the collection are pasted into the document. It all works pretty well. Tonight, I did my first large scale test of the program, and I encountered the following error: Runtime error '6': Overflow In debugging the program I found that I had declared RecordStart as and integer, and the the value of RecordStart was exceeding the limit for an integer. I was able to fix the bug by declaring RecordStart as Long. This should work because RecordStart, in practical use, should never exceed the limit for an integer (my test was purposely the hairiest scenario I could devise, so was beyond what would be seen in normal use by a factor of probably about 100), let alone the limit for a Long data type. My test string of data was almost 45,000 character in length. In practice, the data being processed at any one time will rarely exceed 1,000 characters, and I don't know of any instances where it has ever exceeded 5,000 characters. I thought about redefining cbData each time through, so that it would throw out the data that has just been processed and, in essence, move everything remaining in cbData forward. This would prevent RecordStart from ever exceeding the limit for an integer. So here's my question. Would it be better to redefine cbData and avoid the problem of hitting the maximum for an integer, or is my solution good enough? -- Tom MT DOJ Help Desk Making the world a safer place.

    - Word macros failing after installing XP SP2 I just installed XP SP2 on XP Pro. A bunch of macros that I was using in Word 97 and Word 2003 immediately before the service pack install are no longer working. I don't have an exhaustive list of what's not working, but here are a couple I ran into right away: left() and mid() are gone. Error is "Can't find Project or Library," thrown during compilation phase. The statement Selection.style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal") gives the error "Could not open macro storage" during execution. The version of Word is Word 97 SR-2. Word 2003 11.6113.5606 was installed in a separate directory, long after installing Word 97. All was fine before XP SP2. Ironically, I'm trying to write an article about the changes people should expect to see on installing SP2. Any advice and direction on this would be greatly appreciated.

    - Best practice re list templates? Hi all I'd really appreciate some best practice advice re using VBA for setting up list templates and styles for outline/paragraph numbering. We're getting ready for a major format/style conversion and I'd like to make sure we get paragraph numbering right. We're staying with Word 2000 for the time being but working with documents that were originally created in Word 2000 as well as WordPerfect (a variety of versions) and Word 97. We have a master "Normal" template with the new formatting and new styles. I've developed a macro that uses .UpdateStyles (3 times) to try to update the styles in the documents to be converted. Unfortunately .UpdateStyles (x3) doesn't seem to update outline numbering on relevant styles reliably or correctly. I've tried using .OrganizerCopy and that seems to do a better job but even that doesn't seem to get the outline numbering right -- sometimes it copies the outline linking correctly sometimes it doesn't and there doesn't seem to be any particular pattern: it will get certain styles right in one document but not in the next. (I don't know if that's a problem with lurking legacy incompatibilities in the documents or what.) I'm thinking that the only way to make sure that outline numbering and linked styles in the styles in the converted documents are uniform and match the styles in the new Normal template is to do it through VBA, by setting up a macro (or series of macros) that define each and every style. Is that a good idea or is there another way to do it? BTW here's the code I've been using to try to get the styles copied over just in case anyone can see something wrong in what I've been doing. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    - TOC Automation problem Hi all, I have a VB6 app that creates a document based on a template. This template has a TOC on the first page and an autotext entry with various bookmarks is set up. The first field on the autotext enty (ie. the first bookmark) is a Name field and is set up to print a new page break before. The TOC is set up to use the Name bookmark instead of the heading fields. I generate the document, but the TOC is out of sync. The entry names are fine and in order but the page numbers are funny. The first is 3, for example, and the other are all 2.

    - Word Document VBA Question Hi, I have an application that creates a report using a third party tool which has the ability to export to a RTF (Word) document. The problem I am running into is the report has lines to seperate certain sections however the export does not support lines. I am looking for a solution in where I create a Word Macro and create the lines in Word. Or I was thinking of creating a word document and use it as a template. The report is basically a quote form generated for sales and sales needs to have the ability to edit it. Basically, the lines are used to hold the line items and give it a professional look. I was thinking that the Word document could have a textbox for the line items and I just pass the info in and would shrink or grow as the data grows.

    - Programming toolbar buttons Hi Folks, I'm using the code below to create toolbars based on toolbar settings in another template (for my own reasons) which are stored in an ini file. Everything works great (toolbars are created with all the appropriate details) except they do not execute my required styles. The buttons which have macros assigned to them work fine but the buttons I used for style shortcuts do not. I assumed that the name of the style assigned to a macro being the same as a style would be enough but it seems I'm a muppet. Any pointers??

I need to make several similar forms in the same document, but rather than build each of these other forms from scratch, I'd rather clone my existing form, and treak it into the copies I need. I've looked for a way to copy the form, but I can't find anything in the Project Explorer, toolbars or menus that look like a way to copy the form. Can anyone tell me how I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance. Paul Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand. Tag: 55567

    - VB/Word - Making lines read only Hi, I'm trying to write an Visual Basic application that starts Microsoft Word to allow a user to edit a text file. However the first line is a header and the last line is a trailer and I don't want the user to delete these lines. Also when the user exits from Word (closes the file or exits Word) I want the control to be returned to the VB application so that I can update the trailer. I am new to VB with Word so please bear with me. There are not many resources on the Web to assist. What I need to know is: 1) Is there an easy way to make the line read-only? Line in this case is the same as the Sentences object. If not would I have to trap all the insert/replace/delete events and beep if the user is on the first or last line? 2) Is there some sample code showing how I can start Word in VB AND take back control when the user closes the file? Thanks for any assistance Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand. Tag: 55542

    - Word 2003: phantom temp files in startup folder Hi all, I have two Word add-ins that have been well-behaved for a long while on several PCs running Word 2000 or Word 2002. Today I installed them in a PC running Word 2003. They still work fine, but after closing Word, the two matching temp files ("~%restofname.dot") are still there in the Startup folder with the real files. And they stay there. Even after a reboot. Is anything wrong? It doesn't seem to affect performance, but this certainly hasn't been standard behavior in the past. The files are identical to those installed with earlier Word versions, and Outlook is *not* using Word as its email editor. All PCs are running WinXP Pro.

    - Retrieving the Auto Number Does anybody know how I could the auto number in a selection: Example: 1. Blah 2. Blah blah. '1' and '2' are automatically inserted using the auto numbering feature in word. When I select (say) 'Blah'; I cannot, of course, select '1' along with it ('1' is an auto number). So, is there a VBA code where I can get the auto number which is associated with the text as well? Thanks & regards, vince Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand.

    - Use IF to Loop or not? AND IF w/ error codes? I had an idea, and thought I would post it here to see if it survived scrutiny. A line in my macro errored because another process wasn't completely done. Is it possible and would it be okay to use On Error Resume Next and the error code with an IF to loop back through the missed instruction until it completes? I'm thinking something like: Do On Error Resume Next ' Do This If Err.Number <> 0 Then Loop Else Exit Do End If On Error GoTo 0 Ed Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand.

    - ListTemplate index - how to get? Hi all I'm trying to figure out how to get the ListTemplate index/name for a specific style -- I'd like to be able to modify the style's LinkedStyle and in order to do that it seems I have to specify the Style's ListTemplate first. Just to test if I can identify it, I tried the following code Set mystyle = ActiveDocument.Styles("Level 1") MsgBox ActiveDocument.ListTemplates(mystyle.ListTemplate.Name). _ ListLevels(1).LinkedStyle I don't get an error but the result of "mystyle.ListTemplate.Name" is "" (ie nothing). Any pointers? Thanks in advance! Chuck Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand. Tag: 55523

    - Apply Multiple Templates? What's the right approach? I am generating word 2002 docs based on a custome template that includes a customized toolbar that runs VBA routines. Using bookmarks I've pre- populated a lot of basic info in the doc. I then need to pass off these generated docs to someone that fills in the balance of the document info. That person has a set of 50 templates that she has been using to fill in sections of the starting doc based on certain criteria. I'm pretty unfamiliar with Word templates and what I am running up against, surprisingly, is that if she applies one of her custom dot files to what I pass her, her access to the custom toolbar in my original dot is lost. I'm not sure how to deal with this. As far as I can tell, a word doc can only be attached to one dot at a time. This would seem to imply that I'd have to add my VBA code and toolbar to all of her 50 specail dot files for her to retain access to the them. I could do this but the maint seems onerous. Is there an alternate approach? For instance, another way that the second stage text mods could be implemented besides using the 50 custom dot files?

I know that in the 2000 Word program you were able to open Excel from that location .In Office 2003 Professional Edition you have to go outside of Word and into Excel to copy or transfer information .

    - Storing large amounts of (hidden) data within a single word document? Hi all- thanks in advance for your help; using Word97 on Win98SE... I'm looking for the best way to store this large amounts of information (essentially several manually-built flat file database tables) in a word document without it being accessable to the user; I remember reading (but can't find) a post talking about this subject, and I think Custom DocProperties were the suggested solution... however, in my tests, the document properties (including custom ones) are available to any user via the document property interface, which is undesirable for me. Does anyone have other ideas on how to handle this? Can I suppress the custom docproperties information from showing in the user interface? What about (noting: Word97/ Win98SE) saving the information in some sort of low level encryption to avoid the property 'value' from being read, even if the user looks at the property dialog? Essentially I need to store data (away from user's eyes) without putting the data in the document or in a separate file. I am thinking that maybe I could do this by writing the data in XML format (using whatever XML command is available for encryption?) and that might also make it easier to work with the data, but I haven't messed with XML yet, so I'll wait to hear if that is possible/desirable in Word97 before I start a whole new learning curve...

    - ByRef question Hello all, Here's my scenario. I have an Access app that needs to grab data from an Excel worksheet. What I've done is create a function in Access that simply calls excel.run(myproc(arg1, arg2)). The excel proc needs to return a bunch of numbers so I pass ByRef. I can't think of a cleaner way of doing this without updating the db in excel itself. My question: In Access, when I declare my excel object as an object, the byref works, but if I declare it as Excel.Application then it doesn't work. Why? In both tests, I use set xlsApp = new excel.application, the only difference is in the actualy dim statement. Am I missing something here, cause I'd really like to bind early, it's just cleaner.

    - Check for Bookmark then run userform I want to write some code that will check to see if a bookmark exists and if it does, run a userform. Once the user has filled in the userform and clicked OK, I want the code to find the bookmark and delete it. If the bookmark doesn't exist, then I don't want the code to run... I have the following code: Sub Autonew() If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("new") = True Then FrmOutwardLetter.Show End If End Sub and within the userform code I have the following code to delete the bookmark: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("new").Select Selection.Delete BUT nothing seems to be working! The userform doesn't show anymore - What am I doing wrong? (It's probably all wrong!). I was trying to create a custom boolean property, set its value to false and change it to true once the userform runs. Then always check for the value of the said property when document is opened, and if it is true, do not run the code. Wasn't sure how to do this as this is all new to me... :o( Thanks in advance Lee Tag: WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand. Tag: 55476

Hi,

I have a potential customer that has 170 workstations and multiple printer
devices all over the building. The printers are not standarized they use 4
different printer brands, Canon, HP, Lexmark, Kyocera. This company wants to
have their letter, fax, report, etc automated with their Company Style.

Does someone here has experience with printing from Word to different
printers and maybe a (vba) solution or good idea how to handle this multiple
printer- and papertray selection problem?

What we do is keep a database that keeps track of all the printers, their
paper tray numbers and what type of paper we keep in each paper tray. I have
a simple VBA application that reads that table and then sets the paper trays
and prints to the right printer.
