    - Identify and mark numbers at the beginning of paragraphs - but not headings Hi group, my problem (Word 2003): I have to identify all numbers that are at the beginning of a paragraph in a word document but are *not* headings and put a marker (like "xyzxyz") in front of the number (to prevent that any numeric character that does not belong to a heading will ever stand at the beginning of a paragraph; this is important for further scripting/conversion in this case). Headings (which shall *not* get a marker) are numbered 1., 1.1, 1.2, 2., 3., 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3, 4. etc. There are probably no numbers >99 in Headings (so no three-digit numbers between periods in heading numbering), but at the beginning of paragraphs there may be numbers that have (a) periods as thousands separators, as these are German documents and (b) dates, which are written "xx.xx.xxxx" here, with or without spaces. both kinds of numbers should be treated like all other non-heading numbers (put a marker before the first digit at the beginning of the paragraph). I can't use paragraph styles for identification, because they're not reliably there. All this should be done by a macro. Actually, I don't have a clue about VBA, but I can copy/paste, and I have to solve this - fast! Can someone help? TIA Alex Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93172

    - Find and Replace missing font (font substitution problem) I am trying to programmatically convert all references in a document of one fontname to another, in order to replace a missing font. This code works fine ... but only if the 'missing' font ("SuperHebrew") is in fact installed. For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges With rngStory.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Name = "SuperHebrew" Do While .Execute(FindText:="", Forward:=True) = True With .Parent HebrewString = .Text HebrewString = ConvertSupHebToCCAT(HebrewString) HebrewString = ConvertCCATToUnicode(HebrewString, "Vowels") If HebrewString <> "" Then .Text = HebrewString .Font.Name = "Ezra SIL" .Move Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1 End With Loop End With Next rngStory However, if SuperHebrew is NOT installed (which is the situation I am trying to handle <grin>) , then MSWord Font Substitution kicks in, and remaps the font to a different font (in this case "Default"). The side effect of this is that I can no longer reference the missing font by its orginal name, and I cannot work out what name I should use the code does not find anything to change. I have tried changing to ... font.name = "Arial" 'Ariel is my Default font font.name = "(Default)" font.name = "(Default) SuperHebrew" ' this is how is displays in manual Search & Replace None of these work. Any ideas? Cheers revstead Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93153

    - Bold selected text generated in a userform I have a userform with 6 text boxes. I use a single bookmark to insert the information into the active document. I'd like to be able to format (bold) one of the entries as it is inserted in the document. I've tried tbNAME.font.bold=true and it accepts the statement but it has no effect on the output.

    - problem with showing shortcut in tooltip on custom toolbar Hi! I have a custom toolbar with buttons for different styles like heading 1, normal, and a number of custom styles. The name for the button is set to the stylename + the shortcut, like "heading 1, Alt+1". I want the tooltiptext to be like the name for the button and so it is for some off the buttons but for some others it shows the button name and the shortcut aligned to the right. The tooltip for the heading 1 is for example "heading 1, Alt+1 (Alt+1)" Even if I via VBA changes the tooltiptext the extra shortcut shows. It would be ok if it was the same for all buttons but it is not. If I customize the toolbars to not show shortcust for buttons the extra added shortcut does not show. But I can not have this setting for many other reasons. And yes, the name of the button must include the shortcut.... What am I missing here? I thought that it had something to do with the built in styles but IÂ´m not shure it seams to be different on differnt computers. Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93133

    - Catalog Merge Document? We have written a small program to perform merges between a database and Microsoft Word merge documents that our customers create. Recently, one of our customers was trying to perform a merge, but it kept failing. I traced the problem to the type of Word document. Apparently, you cannot merge a catalog merge document directly to a printer. It must be merged to a new document. My question is, what exactly is a catalog merge document? I could discern no difference between it and a regular merge document. Is there a way to make a catalog merge document not be a catalog merge document?

    - Create Mailmerge Envelope with VBA I am baffled as to how to create a envelope mailmerge document automatically (without user interaction) using VBA. I have recorded how word does it and the recorded macro apparently takes a "behind the scenes" step in the creation of an autotext entry that it subsequently uses when creating the mergedocument. Each time I record the process, Word creates a new autotext entry and then uses that entry as the parameter for the .Envelope.Insert AutoText:= command: Activedocument.Envelope.Insert ExtractAddress:=False, OmitReturnAddress:= _ False, PrintBarCode:=False, PrintFIMA:=False, Height:=InchesToPoints(4.13 _ ), Width:=InchesToPoints(9.5), Address:="", AutoText:= "ToolsCreateEnvelope2" In this example, an unrecorded command created the autotext entry ToolsCreateEnvelope2. When I examine the autotext entry ToolsCreateEnvelope2, I find that it contains the mergefields that I added via the set up envelope command when I recorded the above command in Word. Because I am calling this VBA routine from Access and want the system to automatically create the merge envelope document without user intervention, I have to somehow figure out how to do this automatically. As I see it my options are: - Somehow programmatically create an autotext entries containing my mergefields. or - Somehow enter a string for the Autotext entry that includes the mergefields I want to show in the address box or - Programmatically select the address text box and then insert mergefield using the standard ActiveDocument.Mergefield.Add command. I don't have any idea how to do any of these. Any one have any experience with this problem? Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93103

    - Dutch Math I need to write program code for 'international' applications. I have set my Region settings to Dutch(Netherlands). In Dutch (and other major languages), commas represent the decimal point and periods represent the thousands separators. I wrote this simple formula: Dim mynumber As Single Dim mynumber2 As Single Dim mynumber3 As Single Dim mynumber4 As Single mynumber = 1,50 mynumber2= 5 mynumber3=mynumber + mynumber2 mynumber4=mynumber3 + 1.5 I get a 'Compile Error, Expected End of Statment' message with the row "mynumber = 1,5" highlighted. What am I doing wrong? How can I overcome this? Unfortunately, it seems not to be simple matter of putting a period in place of the comma, for when I actually try to run a calculation using decimals as, the results come out in commas. Chaining calculations becomes more than very confusing (at least to me), because of the fact that the answer returned after the first calculation is expressed in Dutch (e.g., 1,5), but the next entry must be entered in 'American'. And if the initial values are picked up as string variables from an input box, it becomes even more confusing. Are there resources to help explain this? Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93075

    - Removing unwanted macro code by savinng as .RTF affects the document styles?

I am quite keen to stick with the original set of styles as I use them heavily, but my current customers are disconcerted by the Macro security message that is being activated due to the presence of the macro code. I should add that the document is based on a template where all the styles are defined and uses a macro in the creation stages to display a form for the user to set some document properties.

    - Help Needed Speeding Up Code Hi, Everyone. I've got the following code: Sub Datamerge() Dim rDcm As Range Dim r As Long ' row Dim c As Long ' column Dim pipe Dim oMainDoc As Object ========== Set oMainDoc = CreateObject("Word.Document") fd = Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show Word.Application.ScreenUpdating = False Selection.Homekey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Tables(1).Select Selection.Tables(1).Delete Selection.SelectColumn Selection.Cut Selection.Find.Text = "Drug" 'Selection.Find.Font.Bold = True Selection.Find.Execute If Selection.Find.Found = False Then MsgBox ("Database Column Not Found! Aborting...") End Quit End If Selection.Homekey Selection.Paste DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone r = 1 Set rDcm = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Range With rDcm.Find .Text = "Database" ' must be found in a table ' otherwise things will get out of control .Execute ' now rDcm isn't the active document any more ' but the result of find.execute c = rDcm.Cells(1).ColumnIndex End With rDcm.InsertAfter "/" ' beware, this will add a slash in every test run With rDcm.Tables(1) .Cell(r, c).Merge mergeto:=.Cell(r, c + 2) For r = 2 To .Rows.count ActiveDocument.UndoClear '.Cell(r, c).Range.Font.Bold = True .Cell(r, c).Merge mergeto:=.Cell(r, c + 2) '.Cell(r, c).Select ActiveDocument.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphLeft Next End With Selection.Homekey Unit:=wdStory Set rDcm = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Range With rDcm.Find For numb = 0 To rDcm.Rows.count .Text = numb .Font.Bold = True .Replacement.Text = "" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll .Text = " ^l" .Replacement.Text = "" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Next End With Selection.Homekey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Font.Bold = True With Selection.Find .Text = "Database" .Forward = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.SelectColumn Selection.Cut Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Font.Bold = True With Selection.Find .Text = "Indications" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, count:=2 Selection.Paste MsgBox ("All Done!!") Selection.Homekey Unit:=wdStory End Sub ============ Basically what it does is merge 3 columns together, move another column around, and delete some superflous numbering of the rows. My problem is that on tables > 800 rows, it runs very slowly and takes up 100% of the CPU resources, according to Task Manager. This occurs even if I set the window to invisible. Can anyone give me some tips for speeding this puppy up? Thanks!! Brian Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93007

    - Toolbar Combobox initialization I have a template which contains a number of Macros Simply speaking I have one Macro that creates and populates a Combobox on a CommandBar. Selecting an item from the Combobox in turn runs other Macros. This all works apart from one thing. At the moment I have to Manually run the initial "SetComboList" macro in order to create the Combobox. I cannot figure out how to get the combobox to generate when the template is opened (I only want the drop list to appear for this one template) Any pointers? Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93006

    - Save a Word doc with SaveFileDialog Hello I have a word document formed from tables that do not have to be subdivided in 2 pages: in fact during their creation I have inserted a command which if the table is subdivided is moved in the successive page. Now I would save my document and I use a SaveFileDialog. But I have three problems 1) When I press Save the dialog is reopened and the document isnâ??t saved until I have not pressed Save the second time 2) I have set up as filter the extension .doc but the document is saved as â??Model of documentâ?? and I instead would that it was saved like document 3) serious ; when I open the saved document I find a table that it is divided in two pages!!! It seems that it has reorganized the document! why I cannot save it as I have created it? This is the code that I have used: â??Save_test is the SaveFileDialog â??Wordoc is my document Wordoc.Protect(WdProtectionType.wdAllowOnlyReading, , "psycodec") Wordapp.Visible = True Save_test.FileName = List_test1.Text Save_test.DefaultExt = "|*.doc" Save_test.ShowHelp = False Save_test.InitialDirectory = "Risorse del computer" Save_test.RestoreDirectory = True Save_test.Filter = "Documento Word(*.doc)|*.doc" Save_test.ShowDialog() If Save_test.FileName <> "" And Save_test.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Wordoc.SaveAs(Save_test.FileName, Save_test.FilterIndex) Wordoc.Close() Wordapp.Quit() End If I hope that you have understand my problem Thank you Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93002

    - Find.Text found but Replacement not exectuted. I type the word "One" in a document, select it and bookmark it as "BM" I run this code: Sub Scratchmacro() Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM").Range With oRng.Find .Text = "One" .Replacement.Text = "Two" .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne If .Found Then oRng.Select MsgBox "Item found" End If End With End Sub The oRng is selected, the message displays, but the replacement does not occur. If I add a space before or after the word "One" and include it in the bookmarked range then the replacement does occur. Can anyone explain why the replacement does not occur if the found text includes the entire bookmarked range? Thanks Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 93001

    - Calculating the height (in mm) of a text line in Microsoft Word I'm making a program, in VB.NET, that creates and fills a table in a Microsoft Word document. Therefore I need a method to calculate the exact height, in millimeters, of a text line written with a certain font, at a certain size. Searching the Internet I've found this: Private Function GetFontHeight(ByVal FontName As String, _ ByVal FontSize As Single) As Single Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics() Dim myFont As Font = New Font(FontName, FontSize) myGraphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter Return myGraphics.MeasureString("Ag", myFont).Height * 0.9 ' <<< STRANGE!!! End Function The result was so imprecise that I had to add that 0.9 coefficient (I calculated it with several attempts by approximation). But the result is imprecise. There seems to be a discrepancy between the height of a line in the Graphics object, and the height of that same line in Microsoft Word. That discrepancy is about 10%. Strange, isn't it?

    - Strip Visio diagrams out of a Word Document A word doc with lots of Visio diagrams is too large to send via email. Is there a way to strip the diagrams (via a macro?), send the doc via email then exit (w/o saving). That way my client can get the doc (w/o diagrams) via email, then I would send him the complete word doc (w/Diagram) on a CD via USPS. MSPLearner Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 92957

    - Tables In Word I've asked this question before -- I've learned quite a bit from some of the help I've gotten, so I'll try to condense my original version/post: Does anyone have some sample code I could use to do the following ============================================== I have a series of forms with a variety of checkboxes and radio buttons. For Example -- When checkboxes and radio buttons on frmMonAnaly are checked, I need for data that spans (4) colums in a Word Table (a separate document -- C:\Temp\Shane.doc) to populate in a table in the active document (SOF.dot). I created bookmarks for each row in the table (SOF.dot), but I'm not sure if I need to duplicate these bookmarks in the Shane.doc Table. I'm not sure which would be easiest (not that either is particularily easy for me) -- to import the data from a Word Table, or from an Excel wb -- in the SOF.doc, I'll untimately need to sum/calculate the totals in (3) of the columns. Thank -- I hope I've been concise here, and I appreciate whatever guidance you can offer. Sample Code would help greatly :) Shane Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 92954

    - unwanted formatting of everything Whenever I select a text to format, to underline, for example, Office not only underlines the selected text, but the entire document. What do I need to do to prevent this? Tag: autofill a variable Tag: 92951

How do I autofill multiple places? Eg. I type over "name1" and "name2" at the
begining of a doc with Jack and Jill and it autofills every "name1" with Jack
and "name2" with Jill in all other places in the doc.
