    - Word is sluggish Word is sluggish. It is trying to do something in the background that slows me donw. For example: I am working in a five-page document with a few embedded pictures and Word is just sluggish. Evrytime I type something in, it starts crunching something in the background; I can not see the place holder until Word has finished whatever it is doing. While Word is stalling, one can see a little book icon turning its pages on the left of the status bar at the bottom. When Word is finished whatever it was doing, a red cross appears over the book. I would like to stop this process, but I do not know how. I tried right click on the book icon, and it opened the spell check options. But unchecking the spell/grammar checks did not resolve the issue. I opened the Windows Task Manager and I see WINWORD.EXE taking up ~50% of the CPU activity (the other ~50% are taken by the System idle process). Can any body help me to regain control of this runaway Word? Thanks, Victor G. Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86261

    - access the numbering on document with ActiveDocument.Sections(1).r Hello - I am a newbie.. so this might be an easy question! I want a variable to have a value that represents an all text version of the activedocument. This is what I am currently using to assign the value to the variable: ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range That works just fine... except it excludes the numbering from the document. I really need the numbering to be in the text. How would I do that. It seems to me that this should maybe do it: JavaScriptArray = ActiveDocument.Lists(1).Range.ListFormat or this.. JavaScriptArray = ActiveDocument.StoryRanges(wdMainTextStory) Or some variation of one of the three. They ALL exclude the numbering. I have feverishly searched for a solution. Please bail me out! -- Thanks, Mike Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86260

    - Problem with word.activedocument.save at secure urls Hi, Pardon and redirect me if this is not the correct group. We need to save a word doc to a server url. We have written a macro which uses word.activedocument.save to save it. I know this needs front page extensions to be installed on the iis and we have ensured its presence. We are able to save to server when url is simple http - however it fails with error:#5096 when the url is https. Does word.activedocument.save have any limitation? Is there any solution/workaround for this? Thanks, Piyush Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86259

    - Program with Borders in Style object (Word) Hi, I am not sure rather I post in the right newgroup. If not, can anyone tell me where I should post this question. Thanks. I have trying to write a program in C# which extracts all the formatting styles form a word document. However I got a problem with extracting paragpah borders defined for a style. I have defined a style called "Note[Deanger]", for this style, I have set the "Border Setting" to Box. When I run my program, I use the following codes to extract the border style: Word.Style style = wordDoc.Styles.Item("Note[Danger]"); border = style.Borders.Item(Word.WdBorderType.wdBorderTop); the above code does return the correct border object to me, however, the border does not contains any information about LineStyle, Color etc. Does aynone know why it is like this? the Word.WdBorderType.wdBorderRight, Word.WdBorderType.wdBorderLeft, Word.WdBorderType.wdBorderBottom all have the same problem.

    - Recording Data from a VBA macro Hi, I have a macro with many userforms and have some code that records whether each checkbox or optionbutton was selected. This data is then stored as a string called MIDATA and added to a text file (and then this text file is linked into an Access database) The problem I have is that if 2 people run the code at exactly the same file, the text file is ready-only. Is there a better way to record the data in a file that can be accessed by multiple people. My code at the moment is: ChangeFileOpenDirectory _ "J:\MACRO MI\" Documents.Open FileName:="MacroMI.txt" Documents("MacroMI.txt").Activate Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.TypeParagraph Selection.TypeText Text:=MIDATA If ActiveDocument.ReadOnly = False Then ActiveDocument.Save End If ActiveDocument.Close I have thought about having some 'other' text files that the code can go to if the main one is 'read-only', but this seems messey Thanks for any help or pointers.

    - Word 2000 Print Events Hi, I am using Visual Studio.net 2003 with Word 2000 to automate the printing of several documents. I have run into a problem where I need to close the current document after it has been printed, but the document is being closed before it has been sent to the printer (see code sample below). I really need some sort of AfterPrint event to clean up after the document has been printed, but the Word object model does not expose an AfterPrint event. Is there another event or property I could use which would be suitable for this? The only alternative I can think of is to introduce a pause of a few seconds to give the document time to spool. Any advice would be much appreciated. Code sample: mobjWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut() ' Print letter mobjWord.ActiveDocument.Close(WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges) ' Close current document RaiseEvent DocumentClosed(Me, New System.EventArgs()) ' Raise event to client mobjWord.Quit(0,0) ' Close Word RaiseEvent Disposed(Me, New System.EventArgs()) Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE?

    - use of "auto-correct" to speed up typing. As a lawyer, I use the auto-correct facility to speed up typing, by putting two or three letter abbreviations for much longer words or phrases, such as "ic" for "Information Commissioner", or "ccc" for the name of the current client I am doing some work for. It would be more useful if particular abbreviations could be confined to particular files or sub-directories, so that, say, the same abbreviation "ccc" could be used to mean something else when I was working on a different case whose documents I store in a different sub-directory. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - CoolBar or MacroX Code for Floating Toolbar? I'm writing utility for Word that needs to have a floating and dockable toolbar. A regular form won't do the trick because the gizmo is pretty much useless unless the user can edit his/her document while this toolbar either floats or is docked at the top. This toolbar will have a few buttons and a combo box from which the user will select what commands to run. I've used the Toolbar together with the ImageList ActiveX control extensively in regular VB 6, but I've never used the Coolbar control. I've skimmed MSDN and O'Reilly's VB Controls in a Nutshell, and it appears that you use the inside of the Coolbar to put whatever buttons you want to onto your floating toolbar, and that the Coolbar is what allows you to make your toolbar floating or docked. I have code from a previous VB project that contains subs that help the user to remove or add buttons to and from a Toolbar. So, is it a slam dunk that the best approach is for me to use the Toolbar, the ImageList, and the Coolbar for my VBA project? That's what I'm unsure about. First, I'd like to know if there are any gotchas when using ActiveX controls in VBA. I've only used them in regular VB. Second, I'm wondering if it's feasible to create this thing without any ActiveX controls. I searched the news group's archives for "floating toolbar" and found some code that creates a floating and dockable toolbar with what is intrinsically available in VBA. (I'm posting it at the end of this message.) I'm intrigued. Is it somehow possible to use this code I've found to programattically instantiate buttons and a ComboBox? If so, what MSDN/archive search/3rd party VBA material do I need to be reading up in so that I can get a solid understanding on how to do this? Or am I better off doing the Toolbar/ImageList/Coolbar thing? I appreciate any help offered. cheers, Tom The Code: Option Explicit Public Sub AutoExit() 'Runs whenever MacroX is unloaded as a global template, or when 'Word exits 'Removes the toolbar On Error Resume Next 'remove the toolbar if it is still there CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Delete End Sub Public Sub AutoExec() 'Runs whenever MacroX is loaded as a global template 'Creates the MacroX toolbar Dim cbb As CommandBarButton On Error Resume Next 'delete the command bar in case it already exists CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Delete 'create toolbar and add a button On Error GoTo 0 CommandBars.Add("MacroXToolBar").Visible = True Set cbb = _ CommandBars("MacroXToolBar").Controls.Add _ (Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1) With cbb .Caption = "MacroX" .FaceId = 630 'a picture for the button, pick any one you like .OnAction = "SetUpMacroX" .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption 'or choose just to display Caption End With End Sub Public Sub AutoOpen() 'Executes whenever MacroX is opened Call AutoExec End Sub Public Sub AutoClose() Call AutoExit End Sub Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE?

    - macro to change to another font I've used vba, but never with word. I usually work with Arial or Times fonts. I do a lot of music theory writing, so I need to use Yo Tomita's bach font for characters. I would like to streamline the process of changing the font and returning to the original font, often with the next character. For instance, if I want to describe and E-flat chord, I would like to type "E" then perhaps [alt-z] which changes the font to bach, @ (which gives me the flat sign) then [alt-x] to return to the orignal font. Seems like two separate keyboard-shortcut macros to me. Should I be looking at this another way? Andy Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86174

    - Can I do this in a toolbar? Hi -- There are a couple of page set up settings that I would like to be able to see on a toolbar for any document I am in -- the page size (e.g. letter or A4) and the paper tray source for printing. Would be extra cool if I could use the buttons to change the settings as well, like with a drop-down list, similar to changing font size or that kind of thing. Closest thing I can find in the standard buttons is the "page setup" button, but I can't find any standard buttons for the individual settings in the page setup area. Even if the button could just display the current info, and then I'd have to click the page setup button if I needed to change the settings, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone can offer! Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86170

    - Waiting for Document to load I am creating a word document that basically analyzes other word documents that contain UAT test resuts (versus putting a button and code on hundereds of documents). This should be done in VB.NET or something along those lines, but licensing is an issue. My problem lies when a document is opened up that takes a bit to load but the code does not wait and executes before it is finished loading, giving completely bogus results. Here is the run down: User selects which file to analyze using a dialog box, which unfortunately does nothing else: Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show <document starts to load> <"freezes" document loading and executes code, giving bogus data> <document finishes loading> <user gets confused> I would like a way to wait for the document to finish loading before the analyzing code is executed.

    - Fighting Schroedinbug in Word VBA (Tables, images & cie...) Hi all, For the last few days, I have been trying to debug some VBA code and it is driving me crazy. I'm writting an Excel macro which builds (using CreateObject) a Word document in background. The document is displayed at the end of the generation process. One of the most strange behavior I've noticed is the fact that everything seems right when I run the code step-by-step in the Visual Basic editor, but it is screwed up if I execute the macro normally. For example, I have a sub which insert a table in the document. The table is supposed to be aligned on the right and be 8 centimeter wide. If I execute the code step-by-step, displaying the document to watch the process, the tables will be formatted perfectly. However, if I run the macro and let the document invisible, the tables will be page wide and aligned on the left. The executed code is below: With MeterTable .Rows.WrapAroundText = True .Rows.AllowOverlap = False .Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints .PreferredWidth = Application.CentimetersToPoints(8.26) End With Even better: To tackle this bug, I have tried to add a small loop at the end of the main macro. the code is below: For Each aTable In WordDocument.Tables aTable.Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight aTable.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints aTable.PreferredWidth = Application.CentimetersToPoints(8.26) Next aTable WordApplication.Visible = True ' End of the macro If I do it, the tables are 8.26 centimeter wide, but they are still aligned on the left ! I have the same kind of problem with images I want to put in the background of the table: when I am debugging the code, the image fits perfectly, while it is put in the top left corner of the page if I run the macro. Can someone help me, please?! These bugs seem supernatural to me. -- Ben Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86149

    - Copy Multiple Tables to Clipboard I am currently working on a project where I would like to copy multiple tables from one word document to another word document. The problem appears when in trying to copy multiple tables to the clipboard - I am unsure of how to do this. Using the DataObject, I can copy text (from what I can understand), but I need to keep the actual format of the table. I am able to copy one table from the first document to the next, but when I try to switch back to the first (using ActiveWindow.Next.Activate or ActiveWindow.Previous.Activate), it will not switch back. Therefore, I would like to copy all the tables into the clipboard (if possible). Please advise. Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86091

    - How to print a blank page from Word VBA ? Hello dear VBA experts, In a Word macro I need at some point to print a white page, for which I suppose one needs to send to the printer currently active within Word, some code like a page feed...) I explain the purpose of my macro at the end of this post if your are curious to know why. I have tried selecting a paragraph mark and printing the current selection, unfortunately this will printout the eader and footer too, so it does not match my need. I suppose it needs to be done with windows printing API Any advice and/or piece of code will be welcome All the best to you Jean-Marie PS : My macro will printout a word document as a leaflet on any printer, ie a small leaflet which will be finely composed by taking the final bundle of sheets of paper and folding it in the middle. It will need 4 goes, the first go will printout odd pages on the right side of the paper sheets, then I take the bundle of sheets and put them back into the printer and I print another set of odd pages still on the right side of the paper (but on the other side of the sheets), then two more goes will print even page numbers on the left side of the paper. If you get the idea, you may imagine that when reaching the last pages of the booklet, sometimes I must leave the paper blank, but I wish the paper to come out of the printer.

    - Repeating Form Fields in new Table Rows I am using Word 2000 and need to have a new table row containing protected form fields automatically generate when the TAB key is pressed at the end of the last row, so that the new row automatically contains the same form fields. I have reviewed previous questions and found some with references to macros and I have tried the macro below, with no success. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am not famliar with macros, and I do not understand the macro below, therefore I am probably making some major mistakes.

    - Automate update of screenshots in Word I am looking to create dedicated user manuals in Word for a software product. The only trouble is, is that I also need to produce customised screenshots as well. The manuals could be up to 100+ pages with lots of screenshots. My question is this - is it possible to create some form of 'hotspot' on the screenshots and replace/update the wording according to the name of the customer I am creating the manual for? The screenshots will only differ in the 'blue heading' at the top of the software application. Can anyone recommend the best method to go about this?

    - Importing access data to form Hi there, I have an access query that returns a lost of names given certain criteria. The list of names changes as the criteria is changed. I would like to export this list to a Word form table, with a checkbox next to each name entry. The problem I think I will have is that the length of the list of names will change each time, and I would need the word document to add/remove rows and checkboxes in the table, depending on the list length. The idea is, this word form can be emailed to someone to complete and then sent back to me. Is this possible? Thanks - David Tag: How do I get the XML-features of WORD2003 activated in SE? Tag: 86068

    - Displaying selected Toolbars I am fairly new at VBA, any help is greatly appreciated. I have set up a template - for all documents based on this template ONLY a custom toolbar should be displayed. I can do this the "long way round" by using the following in an AutoNew macro: CommandBars("MyToolbar").Visible = True CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = False CommandBars("Formatting").Visible = False CommandBars("Standard").Visible = False etc etc. As the template will be used by various users, my problem is, how do I return Word defaults to what they were before using my template. At present I am using the following commands in an AutoClose macro, to restore commonly used toolbars like Standard and Formatting: CommandBars("Formatting").Visible = True CommandBars("Standard").Visible = True but of course different users have different toolbars (Drawing etc.) normally displayed. Can any body help me with this problem? I have tried using the Customization Context command, but I don't seem to get it right.

Dear all!
MS advertises the new XML-features of WORD2003. Unfortunately, in the
footnotes they clarify, that these features are only available for WORD2003
bought on its own or with the Professional Edition. I wonder, if there is no
way to get these features working with a Standard Edition.

Many thanks for your help in advance!
