    - Hiding text from a macro I've written a macro which visits each paragraph in a table cell and hides it or unhides it depending on its style. The macro works correctly, but is very slow. Each iteration of the per-paragraph loop appears to take a large fraction of the second, and the fractions add up. I'm trying to be rewrite the macro to eliminate the per-paragraph loop. One step in the rewritten macro is to hide or unhide the entire text of the cell. It isn't working. I can set the text's Font.Hidden property, but it has no effect. That is, VBA neither changes the text's Hidden property nor changes the contents of the window. (Nor does it gives me an error.) Here's an extract of the code: Dim msgRange As Range ' . . . Set msgRange = Selection.Cells(1).Range ' Select the cell. msgRange.MoveLeft unit:=wdcharacter,count:=1,extend:=wdextend ' Just the text in the cell. msgRange.Font.Hidden = True ' Hide everything. I tried hiding the text by hand (which works) and recording the operation in a macro. The macro does exactly the same thing I do, except that it operates on Selection instead of a Range variable. I tried hiding Selection.Range in the immediate window (executing the exact statement from the recorded macro) and THAT has no effect. Does anybody know what Word is doing to me, and how to work around it? My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net.

    - Document Map does not fire the XMLSelectionChanged even Hi, I find that if I navigate to text enclosed in an XML tag using the Document Map, the XMLSelection Changed event is not fired. This event does get fired if I navigate to the same location via a mouse click or by scrolling moving my cursor to that same location. Is this a known issue? When is it likely to be resolved? - Ranjit Tag: avoiding password prompt when opening new document from a template Tag: 34693

    - Word Automation / Windows 2000 SP4 I have a program that uses word automation to open word, open a document, print a selected document, and closes word. Before I installed SP4 for Windows 2000, the following code worked flawlessly: Dim objWord Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") objWord.Documents.Open strFileName, false, true, false objWord.Application.DisplayAlerts = 0 objWord.Application.ActivePrinter = "HP_printer" objWord.Application.PrintOut true,,0,,,,,1 objWord.ActiveDocument.Close false objWord.Quit Set objWord = Nothing In DCOMCNFG, I have Word set to run under the identity of Administrator, in order to have access to all network resources. This was on Windows 2000 SP3. Since I installed SP4 for Windows 2000, this Word automation does not work. Whenever I call the line in the above code 'objWord.documents.open ... " the program freezes and the word process hangs. The same happens if I try to run this code in a macro in Word VBA. Whenever it gets to the line that opens a file, and the file is on a shared network resource, it hangs. Again, this worked prior to SP4. Is there a new security setting in SP4? I have tried uninstalling Office, restarting, and reinstalling Office, but that did not work. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

    - Need help getting entries from ToC I have some difficulties trying to extract entries form a Table of Contents in a Word document. What I want is, basically, to retrieve for each entry in a ToC the name (i.e. the text) of the entry and the point it's referring to (i.e. the name of the hidden bookmark). My first idea was to use the Paragraphs collection on the range of the ToC; but then I'm faced with the problem that, while it works quite well for all Paragraphs except the very first and very last, for both of the latter the Fields collection contains *all* the fields of the entire ToC, leading to a number of special case branches, which rely on a number of assumptions I made about the structure of the data in the collections in question. Consequently, I'm not 100% sure my solution is going to be water-proof in all cases; all in all I'm wondering (or rather hoping) that there is a simpler, more elegant and most of all more reliable method for accomplishing what I'm trying to do. If anyone here has any idea's, I'd be eager to hear them. Thanks. Tag: avoiding password prompt when opening new document from a template Tag: 34691

    - Formating Text in Textframes I am able to use the for each - next method to run through textframes, and if a frame with a width greater than 200 is encountered I am able to set the left and right indentations. However, I can seem to be able to change the alignment of the text where the string "N/A" is found inside the frame. Am I going about this the correct way? This will let me set the indentation, and following it is the code I have written to try to select textframes with the string "N/A" Sub FormatTextbox() Dim shp As Shape Dim Sel As Selection ' Switch Screen Updating off Word.Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes ' Format Plain Textboxes If shp.Width > 240 Then shp.Select With Selection .ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0.25) .ParagraphFormat.RightIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0.14) .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphJustify .Range.Font.Name = "Times New Roman" .Range.Font.Size = 10 End With ' [Following Code goes here] End If '[Following Code] Next shp End Sub ElseIf shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "*[N/A]*" Then shp.Select With Selection ' Set text to centred alignment .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter .MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=3 .TypeParagraph ' Set the font size to 10 .Font.Size = 10 .ShapeRange.Select .Font.Size = 10 End With Any help would be appreciated.

    - Set word = nothing takes a looong time I have a VB6 app that uses vba against Word 2000. When I runs the line Set WordObj = Nothing it takes from 1 minut up to 10 minutes to get freed from memory. This problem has come as I have added some code to one of my procedures, I have added the following FilNavn = Mid(CStr(VisWord), 7, Len(CStr(VisWord)) - 6) WordObj.Selection.WholeStory WordObj.Selection.Copy WordObj.Documents.Add WordObj.Selection.Paste WordObj.ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=FilNavn WordObj.ActiveDocument.Close WordObj.Selection.HomeKey Then I return to VB and does some code before calling another procedure that end Word: WordObj.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False WordObj.ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges WordObj.Quit Set WordObj = Nothing It is the last line that takes up all my CPU and uses from 1 munute and up to complete. What can I do to speed this up, cos it is unbearable to sit and wait for it to complete and I use this a lot in my VB app?

    - Blank line suppress in Word Automation I have code that merges access xp data into word templates by setting the values of Word document custom properties. The word templates have fields referencing the name of the custom properties For address info in the access db I have two possible field for address. Typically both have records for say people in an apartment, but for home address typically one, the second field, is null. When the custom properties are set through automation, however, a blank is left where that custom property is referenced. Any ideas? Thanks.

    - Input box. I have an input box that I am using in a macro that requires the user to input an age between 18 and 65. I made it so they could only input ages in that range by using a loop with <>. And that works fine. If they input 15, it just loops. However, if they accidently try to input anything but a number (i.e. the letter a) they get a mismatch error. Is there some way for me to write code that will allow them to input ONLY numbers. I'm hoping for something similar to what I've done already (just to loop until they put in a number between 18 - 65.) Thanks for looking at this.

    - Project organizer bug with user forms BUG REPORT BUG: There is a bug in the Word 2000 Project Organizer (accessed by opening the templates and add-ins window, clicking "Organizer", and clicking the "Macro Project Items" tab) that causes problems when user forms are transferred between an external template and the Normal template. ERROR MESSAGE: If the user form was transferred to the Normal template with the project organizer, when the user form is run, the error message "Run-time error '5981': Could not open macro storage." is displayed. ERROR OCCURRENCE: Specifically, I received this error when I tried to run the Find Symbol dialog box, which was provided in the sample macros supplied by Microsoft (Macros9.dot). I had transferred this user form and the subroutine that loaded it using the project organizer, as suggested in the Macros9.dot file. When I received this error message, I first tried retransferring the user form and subroutine. This did not change anything, so I tested the code subroutine by subroutine to pinpoint the location of errors. I found that certain bookmark instructions were causing errors, although there were no errors when I ran the user form from the external template. SOLUTION: I opened the template, and then in the Visual Basic Editor I opened the project explorer. I dragged both the user form and the subroutine that loaded it from the Macros9.dot template to the Normal template. The Find Symbol user form ran fine after this. POSSIBLE CAUSE: The project organizer may have messed up some of the code of the user form when transferring it, or not transferred some information needed to run it. This appears to be a bug in project organizer. Tag: avoiding password prompt when opening new document from a template Tag: 34634

    - Cannot change link to an excel source file in my word doc I am trying to use sourcefullname to change the path and name of an excel file that is linked throughout my word doc. Everything I can find tells me that sourcefullname is a read/write string, but I cannot get the change to take. It goes through the motions, but when I check the source files in the Links window, it is still referencing the old file. I have written my own macro using sourcefilename and used a version from the ms web site (modified for word/excel vs. powerpoint/excel), neither one works. In fact, both macros often crash Word about 3/4 of the way through the process. (There are 30+ links that have to be changed.) If I step through the macro it doesn't crash. Any suggestions?

    - keeping the Selection.Find.Found property Dear experts, I want to implement a loop to find certain strings within two documents alternatively AND have a condition to exit the loop. The intention is to figure out, if a certain type of string, found in the first document, is present in the other, continuing so until the end of the former document is reached. As far as I have got, this requires the command sequence Selection.Find.... .. Selection.Find.Execute (now a string behind the selection is read out and put into a variable) Windows(<second window>).Activate Selection.Find.Text = <variable> ... Selection.Find.Execute Windwows(<former window>).Activate (write the page number of the found string into the first document) all embedded within a loop Now, since the method Selection.Find... must be used in both the documents, the loop exit condition Until Selection.Find.Found = False does not work in the first document, neither the .Find.Execute boolean. How can the Selection.Find.Found Property be kept for one document, although I utilize a Selection.Find method also in the second? By moving the search in the second to a certain subroutine?

    - ActiveDocument.FitToPages I have a multiple page Word document. The VBA that creates the doc puts a page break in between the sections of the doc. Each section needs to fit on one page, but it often grows to two pages. I want to use ActiveDocument.FitToPages or something like it to cause everything between my page breaks to get formatted (font size or margins, it doesn't matter) so that section fits on one page instead of two. The ActiveDocument.FitToPages method is designed to evaluate your entire doc and works great if you have a two page doc. But if you have a document of say 20 pages that needs to be 10 (one page per 10 "sections"), is there a different method that takes the hard page breaks into account? Additional info: These are not true section breaks. They are just page breaks. This document is a set of letters that get mailed out. The code that generates the letters is not a mail merge. The letters are created from a VB.Net routine that uses a dot file to create a new doc, fill in some custom tags, insert a page break and loop to the next person in the dataset.

    - Calculate a due date in Word 2000 I'm trying to do the following in a Word merge: I'm trying to calculate a due-by date for court filings by having Word subtract 7 days from a court hearing date entered through a merge prompt. The hearing date is from a list of specific dates published by each of 3 different courts. The merge prompts for a hearing date through a {fillin} field I need to find how to have the merge itself calculate a due-by date that is 7 calendar days *prior* to the hearing date (it doesn't have to account for weekends, holidays, or anything like that). For instance, in response to the merge's prompt, I enter a hearing date of 7-31-03. I want to have the merge output the date of 7-24-03 with the formatting being MMMM d, YYYY. I already know how to format the date output with the \@ switch. So, the output would be: "The hearing date is June 31, 2003, and the due-by date is June 24, 2003." Just for test purposes I threw the following together (obviously, {}will actually be merge fields) {set testdate{fillin "Enter the Hearing date."}} {set duedate{ =({testdate} - 7)}} The hearing date is: {testdate \@ "MMMM d, YYYY"} The due date is: {duedate \@ "MMMM d, YYYY"} entering this into Word with actual field codes and running the little routine correctly prompts for the hearing date, but the due date displays as -34. I'm almost **certain** I've seen how to do this SOMEWHERE before, but I just can't remember where or what the field coding was!! Is it maybe something involving converting the input date to a serial-date format or something???? To be sure, I *could* just have the user enter the hearing date and then also prompt for the due-by date to be entered, but I'd rather cut down on the entry of extra data if possible! I *can't* go the opposite route, having the user enter the due-by date and then just adding 7 days, as the hearing dates are *very* specific. I need to do this from within Word itself. Is there maybe a freebie add-in or something??? Help??? Mucho-mega-thanks! Brian Tag: avoiding password prompt when opening new document from a template Tag: 34572

    - Report automation Hi All, I need to make reports with Word, so that a customer may preformat it. The idea is that the customer prepares a template document and defines some "reserved" bookmarks through it. The application will open a new document based on this template and feeds the document with data at the reserved locations (bookmarks). It seems to work more or less with single text. The user has only to format a word and to 'bookmark' it. The application replaces that bookmark with the real data, which keeps the predefined format. Fine! But we generally have tables to insert and we would like to let the user carry out their formatting in the template. Unfortunately, I don't know to achieve that, because I don't know how the user can predefine a table style of a bookmark which could be applied to the real table, inserted later by the application ?

    - Running Letterhead macro for pages 5 & 6 only I currently have a 6 page document that gets inserted, then completed via userform. (Userform1:) If SelectFile.Text = "EMAN.DEFDR.FRM.doc" Then ActiveDocument.Variables("EMAN.DEFDR.FRM").Value = True Selection.InsertFile "R:\Eman.defDR.frm.doc" With ActiveDocument.Sections.First.PageSetup .TopMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5) .BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5) End With End If The last 2 pages are letters, and I have been struggling to get the letterhead macro to run on these pages only. I have tried inserting a bookmark, then telling it to run the macro at that point, only to have it put letterhead on every page but the first. (Userform2:) Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() If ActiveDocument.Variables("EMAN.DEFDR.FRM") = True Then With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("BMSTCN").Range _ .InsertBefore UFSTCN1 (whole lot more of insert bookmark) .Bookmarks("BMP5LH").Application.Run ("Letterhead") End With End If After many failures I experimented with section breaks. It seemed that no matter where a section break was, or what type, I would always get "Value out of range." (Userform2:) Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() If ActiveDocument.Variables("EMAN.DEFDR.FRM") = True Then With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("BMSTCN").Range _ .InsertBefore UFSTCN1 (whole lot more of insert bookmark) End With ActiveDocument.Sections(2).Application.Run "LetterHead" End If Any Suggestions?

    - Activating the Internet Explorer address bar with VBA or Word Basic Can anyone kindly tell me how I can activate the Internet Explorer address bar with VBA or Word Basic? I have written an MS Word macro that takes a word that you have highlighted in Word to an online dictionary and searches for it automatically. Problem: English & Italian versions of Internet Explorer require ALT-D to activate the IE address bar, whereas the German version of Internet Explorer requires ALT-S; If the wrong key shortcut is used, undesired results occur (e.g. the Internet Explorer starting page is changed). Is there ONE WAY that will work for ALL LANGUAGE VERSIONS of Internet Explorer? Many, many thanks in advance.

    - Get network username Is there any way of getting the logged on network username of the current user without lots of code. I know that it's held in XP in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\NWUSERNAME and with a bit of fiddling I can pull from a different location in WIN98 & WIN2K, but is there a simple method where I don't need to find out which OS I'm using before looking in the registry there's %userbname% in the environment in XP, but not in WIN98, ideally a networkuser() would be great, but wishfull thinking Tag: avoiding password prompt when opening new document from a template Tag: 34553

I have a macro that creates a new document from a template file that
is password protected against modification. When the macro goes to
create a new file using that template, it prompts for a password, or
to click the read only button.

Is there some way I can automatically "click" the read-only button for
the user with my macro? I am using the following method of creating
the new document:

Documents.Add Template:=template_folder & "\" &
Switch.TemplateList.Value, NewTemplate:=False

Any suggestions you have would be most appreciated!!!

Christine.

Hi Christine,

Use

SendKeys "%r"
Documents.Add Template:=template_folder & "\" & Switch.TemplateList.Value,
NewTemplate:=False

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps
