    - opening this document will run the following sql command Office 2003: Today, for the first time, I've started getting the following annoying message box every time I open a Word document, or even when I create a new document from scratch: opening this document will run the following sql command Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want to continue? The line below this line in the dialog box is blank and if I close the document, I am not prompted to save anything. Running Detect and Repair does not correct the problem. Reverting to older versions of Normal.dot does not correct the problem. This computer is not networked, Office 2003 was installed from original CDs and I am the only user of this computer. I use Word almost every day, and each day's work is backed up to an external drive. Researching the text of the message led me to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825765 but I am reluctant to try it because of the warning attached to the information. It also says that this message is encountered when I open a mail merge document that is linked to a data source. I have never used mail merge since installing Office 2003. I know nothing about VBA and do not use programming code other than simple, basic Word macros which I have written myself. My AVG Professional 8.0 antivirus is kept up-to-date. I routinely apply all Windows patches through Windows Update. The only unusual event that I have noticed here was that last night when I shut down the computer, Windows prompted me that there were updates ready to apply and offered me the option of applying them before shutting down the computer. As yesterday was Patch Tuesday, I assumed that Windows had downloaded these updates automatically as the system is configured to do. Usually I go to Windows Update myself and manually download and install updates, but I was busy with a number of things yesterday and so did not visit Windows Update. I allowed Windows to install the updates before shutting down because I assumed that these updates had been downloaded by Windows in the absence of any action by me. Further research has led me to the discovery that one of the patches applied was to Word 2003 (KB950241). I removed this update and the problem went away. I spent an hour on the phone with a Microsoft technician only to eventually be told that a technician from the "Word department" would have to call me back. As the security update is flagged as critical, I cannot block its download and installation. For the time being, my only recourse is to use the registry hack provided in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825765, but for obvious reasons I'm not comfortable with this arrangement. I would really appreciate help from any Word MVP out there who can draw a bead on this issue. Tom -- remove .spoo to reply by email Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113546

    - Creating a master document made up of several linked source docume My company has me taking apart some of our current manuals and setting them up so that each individual section of the manuals could be accessed from one of our offices remotely and the changes that they make update their in the master copy that goes out to each of the workers on site. The sending of the master and compiling of the sections individually is no problem, however whenever I got to link the files into the master copy I usually would just select Insert>Objects>Create From File>browse>insert the file and select for the file to be linked to the source and for it not to be displayed as an icon. I'm getting to larger word documents and I found that anything that is longer than 1 page in length in the original source document is only being displayed as one page of content in the master. It seems to just cut off at the bottom of the page that I'm trying to link it into. Any suggestions? Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113540

    - IntelliSense & Passing Range and/or Document Objects I realize that my questions here might be simply a matter of taste and programming style, but Iâ??m also wanting to run this pass those on this forum to make sure Iâ??m not getting myself into trouble by making unwarranted assumptions. Iâ??ve been using the following to open a new document and to set a range object. Dim oDoc as Document Dim oRange as Range Set oDoc = Documents.Add(sTemplate) Set oRange = Selection.Range But, if Iâ??m not mistaken, this is the same as: Set oDoc = Documents.Add(sTemplate) Set oRange = oDoc.Range Yes? Is there a difference between them? (And doesnâ??t the latter make more sense? At least it took me some time to figure out that by creating a new document, the new document as now the active document, and so here â??Selectionâ?? = â??oDoc,â?? yes?) Also, Iâ??ve been passing both the document object and range object to functions, would it be simpler to pass only the range object and when/if I need the document object to recreate it such as: Function Xyz(ByVal oRange as Range, ... etc.) Dim oDoc as Document Set oDoc = oRange.Parent It also seems to me that: Dim oStyle as Style Set oStyle = oDoc.Styles("Some Styleâ??) is the same thing as: Set oStyle = oRange.Parent.Styles("Some Sytle") Both statements appear to work equally well, the only difference appears to be that the IntelliSense doesnâ??t work with â??oRange.Parent,â?? but the code ran fine. It also seems to me that one could even dispense with creating a styles object and write: Dim ptFontSize as Single ptFontSize = oRange.Parent.Styles(â??Some Styleâ??).Font.Size I apologize if all this seem trivial, but it has taken me hours to figure all this out. My question is this: Instead of passing both a document object and its range object to another function, wouldnâ??t it simplify things to pass only one, and then use that object to create the other if needed? The reason I ask is that my current project works with three documents, and passing three ranges, plus one or two document objects, as well as other variables. It creates a long and cumbersome augment/parameter list. Or am I better off with a long augment/parameter list? I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the above.

    - Text box formatting moves text box In normal Word usage I can change the text margins and size of a text box using the Format Text Box dialogue and the text box stays in the same position. However, when I try to do the same operations while recording a macro the text box gets moved to the top left corner of the page when I click on OK. How can I stop this happening, or at least edit the macro so the position of the text box is not altered? Grateful for assistance. Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113535

    - Word 2007 and my macros? We just got the word - we will be "upgrading" to Office 2007 shortly. I _live_ by my macros! If they worked fine in Word 2000 and 2003, will they still work in 2007? I figure I need to make a backup of my Normal and templates. I know the toolbars won't show up in 2007, and any macros that show or hide toolbars on open or close won't work. If I clean these macros out of my files, should everything else be mostly okay? Ed Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113531

    - How to change sign of paragraph on the space? There is a document Word (see example: http://www.box.net/shared/luo0o336so). Some sentenses in paragraphs are broken off by paragraph signs, other paragraphs is ok. The problem - I need to join the broken of lines of each paragraph, but thus not uniting normal paragraphs. The end of the normal paragraph consists of a point and a paragraph sign. The end of a line of the broken off paragraph consists of a paragraph sign. Here the code which I try to use, but has stopped on replacement operation. Correct me please and explain what is my wrong. Thanks. Code: Sub delpar_3() Dim sPar As String Dim par As Paragraph Dim i As Integer i = 0 For Each par In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs If Right(par, 2) = Chr(46) & Chr(13) Then i = i + 1 Else If Right(par, 1) = Chr(13) Then par = Replace(par, Chr(13), " ") 'Here is error!!!

    - SEQ numbering within IF fields in Word 2003 Hi, I have a template I am developing which uses the SEQ field to auto number the paragraphs. However, a number of these paragraphs are within IF fields, so that if certain conditions are met/not met then they do not get output into the document when ran. Unfortunately, the SEQ number (which is also in the IF) is still getting set. So for example; IF is true = 1. paragraph one 2. paragraph two 3. paragraph three 4. paragraph four IF is false = 1. paragraph one 4. paragraph four What I need to see is (IF false) = 1. paragraph one 2. paragraph four How can I prevent the SEQ from being set if the IF is false?

WHen the userform is filled in and the command button is clicked, I get an error message: Compile error: Method or data member not found The vba window opens and .Range_ is highlighted Any ideas what is going wrong? Also, the macro that shows the userform - what do I need to call it to get it to run automatically when the document is opened? The file is saved as a .doc (Word 2003 Pro) - can't do a .dot in this particular situation so it needs to be a doc, not a template. THanks so much, in advance, for any assistance.

    - Word interop from c# - Find replace sometimes not working I use the following code to replace all instances of "[VAR]" with "value to set" in a word document : Word.Document document; ... Word.Range rng = document.Content; rng.Find.ClearFormatting(); Object findText = "[VAR]"; Object matchCase = Type.Missing; Object matchWholeWord = Type.Missing; Object matchWildcards = Type.Missing; Object matchSoundsLike = Type.Missing; Object matchAllWordForms = Type.Missing; Object forward = true; Object wrap = Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindStop; Object format = Type.Missing; Object replaceWith = "value to set"; Object replace = Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll; rng.Find.Execute(ref findText, ref matchCase, ref matchWholeWord, ref matchWildcards, ref matchSoundsLike, ref matchAllWordForms, ref forward, ref wrap, ref format, ref replaceWith, ref replace); On most pc's, this ALWAYS works fine, but on some pc's, it NEVER works. The text is not replaced, nothing happens. I had this problem 2 times until now, while 13 other machines worked perfectly. Then I tried : ... Object replaceWith = Type.Missing; Object replace = Type.Missing; while(rng.Find.Execute(ref findText, ref matchCase, ref matchWholeWord, ref matchWildcards, ref matchSoundsLike, ref matchAllWordForms, ref forward, ref wrap, ref format, ref replaceWith, ref replace) == true) { rng.Text = "value to set";// The range is now changed to the found "[VAR]" instance, we can replace it rng = document.Content;// reset to loop further } This also does or does not work on the same systems. The basic problem is, that the Find.Execute method does NOT select the found text part on those pc's where it does not work. Also when I tried to work through Selection.Find (instead of using Range.Find), nothing changed. So at this moment, I have before me 2 almost identical pc's, with the same windows and office version (office XP SP3), handling the same document, and on 1 pc it works, on the other one it does not. I checked all Word options and settings, there is no difference. Does anyone have any idea where this is coming from ? Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113470

    - Word 2007 Font.Color fun Can someone please help me understand what gives with Font.Color values in Word 2007? Recording a macro to see the Font values for Heading 1 style in a new 2007 document, the Color value is: .Color = -738148353 I don't think this corresponds to an RGB value, even though the 2007 VBA Help says the Font.Color property: "Returns or sets the 24-bit color for the specified Font object. Can be any valid WdColor constant or a value returned by Visual Basic's RGB function." If I record a macro where I select Heading 1 style, choose Modify > Format > Font, click OK to close the Font dialog, then OK again to close the Modify Style dialog, the Color value is: .Color = 9527094 Exact (?) same colour, very different value, which is an RGB colour. Does anyone know how to get the correct RGB colour value in the first place without having to drill down through dialogs? I need the RGB colour for a VB application. Many thanks for any help.

    - inserting autotexts into word document Hi, I have a question in regards to autotexts in word 03. At the moment, there are 4 autotexts being used in my word document template. Each autotexts have their own contents.

User can click the ones he/she wants to incorporate into his/her word report. My question is there will be a case where user needs to add another autotexts to the existing word report. For example, in the existing report, there are methodology, executive summary, bibliography and glossary. Now, he wants to add another autotexts called "Sections". This autotexts, by our standard, should go between "executive summary" and "bibliography".

    - Access denied error when trying to delete a file - Word 2003 I have developed a template that is used by greater than 100 users that is used for a particular type of document. To ensure consistent file naming, I have developed a routine that determines a filename based upon the document variables for each file (called SmartFName). I have tied this routine into FileSave. The routine performs the following: 1. Checks to ensure that the document variables used for the file name are set. 2. Determines the SmartFName based upon the document variables. 3. Compares the SmartFName to the existing filename. 4. If the same, saves the file. 5. If not the same, it prompts the user asking if the SmartFName should be applied. 6. If No, it saves the file. 7. If Yes, it performs a ActiveDocument.SaveAs to the SmartFName. 8. It then prompts the user asking if the old file should be deleted. 9. If Yes, a Kill oldpath filename is performed. It is at this point, an "Access Denied" error is generated sometimes. Thanks in advance for all help. -- Tim Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113436

    - issue with creating template for letter Hi, I have a problem in regards to word template for office 03. I have a template designed to generate a company letter. Like any normal letter, it has date, sender, address, regarding, body of the letter, and signature of the manager. So, when user runs the template, a userform comes up. They can then fill out all empty textfields which are then placed into the word document. This works so far. However, my problem here is about the body of the letter. Since i use {DOCVARIABLE mybodytext} in the word document, all the texts entered or typed in by user via userform is treated as a variable. This is something i didn't anticipate or give it a thought when designing this template. Today, i have one of my colleagues wanting to create a letter to be sent to his client. (By the way, i use a normal text-box in the userform that allows user to enter multiple lines) He put in some bullet points to the text-box in the userform as if it was for a normal report. After pressing the button "ok", all the DOCVARIABLE-s are replaced with values from the textboxes and it worked. However, there is a problem with the bullet points. It didn't look like bullet points at all. The other problem is with the gap spacing between the previous line and the next line. Obviously, he couldn't fix them individually with the spacing and bullet points as they all are one variable. I must have taken the wrong approach here. I wonder if there are any better approaches that may help me out. Basically my aim is to create a template so that any users who want to write letter to their client, can actually use it. Your help is greatly appreciated Thank you in advance Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113424

    - Find and use a user's template directory path Hi - I would like to automatically attach a template file named "AutoWork.dot" when a user is ready to use it. The user has this file stored in their template directory, wherever that may be. How do I write a macro that finds a user's MS default template path (there a many users and this may vary between users), then attaches this .DOT file to the active document?

    - Macro to select ALL tables (with different styles) in a word docum sorry if it is a repost(?) How to select ALL the tables (with different Table styles) in a word document (by exemple to apply a "table formatting macro" or a new table style to all the tables in the document at once). I cannot select all the tables at once using the Styles and Formatting pane because the documents have several table with different table styles. I would like to avoid scrolling in the document and hold the CTL key + click in every tables. I have looked for selecting all the tables using the the Find (F5) function in word, but I found "tables" nowhere in the options list. Is there is a solution with the Find function or/and with a Macro? Not sure if I explain well, so ask me if you need further precisions. Thanks Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113417

    - Need to Add reference fields to a blank document I have a template with the following hidden reference field. { ASK MyField \* MergeFormat} I use a {REF MyField \*MergeFormat} statement within my document to pull the data where it needs to go. I have a macro that Selects ALL and then saves all reference fields as regular text before the document is distributed online. However, I would like to restore the ASK statements at the top of the document in case further edits are needed. So, what I would like to know is how to create a macro that automatically inserts the ASK statement at the beginning of a document. Thanks so much for any guidance with Word 2000 fields!!!

    - Word 2007 letter template - open saved document are missing vba code I have build a template with some vba-code to handle userinput with at userdefined dialogbox. After the dialogbox is closed the data is placed in the document. I have also added a button to the ribbon, so the userdialogbox can be showed again, with the data from the document in the userdefined dialobox. It works fine. Then I save the document as xxxx.docm (document with macro). Now the problem: When the document is open again the macrocode and then button in the ribbion is missing! I have tried to add trusted locations where the template and the document are saved, (also remembered Subfolders) but that was not the solution. If the document is saved as Word 97-2003 format, it works as expected (is works fine). But why is it a problem with the Word 2007 format? I will be very happy if someone can solve this problems for me. Tag: assigning macro/code to picture? Tag: 113367

in Excel 2007, you can assign a macro or code item to a picture.

can the similar be done in Word 2007, or can codes only be assigned to a
command button object?

thank you,

You can insert a MacroButton field in the document
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm) and insert the
picture as the "display text" of the field, using in-line text wrapping.
