    - page numbering I need some help on page numbering. I am creating a template for our procedure group. In the header I have the page numbering (X of Y) for the hole document. In the attachment page of my template, I created a footer so I can number the pages of each attachment. An example would be Attachment 1 Pages 1 of 3, Attachment 2 Pages 1 of 10 and so on. I went out and looked at â??How to Create Two-Page Numbering Schemes in One Documentâ?? but it looked like I needed to know how many attachments(they call it sections) are in the document. My problem is the number of attachments change with each new document. One document could have only 1 attachment and the next could have 30 attachments. Is there a way to set it up so I donâ??t have to know how many attachments there are? Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word? Tag: 96780

    - word counts diff in Word and macro Hi, Does anyone know how to count special characters within a range? A macro that includes ActiveDocument.Words.count gives a different result for count than Word's word count toolbar. The latter produces the right result. The macro seems to be including the "paragraph mark" and other items such as "*" "%" etc. as separate words even though I have them directly adjacent to words. I would like to make the count more precise and thus would like to subtract the number of times these special characters appear in the document and range. I can count these special characters in the entire document by looping through ActiveDocument.Characters and selecting those that have ascii values equal to, less than or greater than certain values (see code after my signature). But I don't know how to do this within a range and a macro I am working on needs to have that ability. Any help would be appreciated. It will probably be enough to just give me the equivalent of ActiveDocument.Characters for a loop through a range. -- eugene PS Can anyone influence Microsoft to fix this. It is quite odd for there to be such a difference and is quite disturbing that the macro can't do it right. CODE Doug Robbins response to "Count Uppercase alphabets" posted 1/3/07 Dim i As Long, achar As Range i = 0 For Each achar In ActiveDocument.Characters If Asc(achar) > 64 Then If Asc(achar) < 91 Then i = i + 1 End If End If Next achar MsgBox i Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word?

    - Grabbing an Outline Heading In an outline numbered document, does the body text know anything about the outline section in which it appears? I have an outline numbered document and want to create a macro tol capture certain text from the body, and in the front of the text, I want to put the level 3 outline heading of the section where the text appears. For example: 1. My House A. Furniture (1) Living Room Coffee table Sofa Chair End Table (2) Kitchen Dining Table Chairs B. Books (1) Computer ASP.Net Coding Strategies Pivot Table Data Crunching (2) Philosophy Kitchen Table Wisdom This was Cicero The individual items are just body text. Suppose I want to gather up a list of all the "tables", precede each one with the room where it appears, and paste it into a second document. The result would look like this: Living Room: Coffee table Living Room: End Table Kitchen: Dining Table Computer: Pivot Table Data Crunching Philosophy: Kitchen Table Wisdom I want to search for the word "table," select and copy that line, and then grab the appropriate heading and stick it on the front, without ever actually selecting and copying the heading.

    - Resizing pictures with VBA I want to resize a selected picture using VBA but I only want to change the width of the picture to say, 2cm and the height should adjust to scale automatically. Manually, using the Format>Picture command I can achieve this by ensuring that Lock aspect ratio checkbox is True. However, if I translate this to VBA using the following commands: with Selection .InlineShapes(1).LockAspectRatio = msoTrue .InlineShapes(1).Width = CentimetersToPoints(2) End With ...I would expect the same to happen as when I did it manually. Even though the Lock aspect ratio is set to True it reduces the width to 2cm but leaves the height at its original value. Am I using the correct commands, please?

The finished product could be any number of the following chunks of text. Section Label Description: <some variable length text> Notes: <some variable length text> Version: <some variable length text> Table with 2 columns and n rows Section Label, Description, Notes and Version need to have the same style applied. The text after the colons needs a different style. Can I apply styles as I write these lines with Selection.TypeText? Or should I write all the content and then rummage through the entire document object searching for different pieces of text and apply the styles then?

    - Deleting bookmarks doesn't work Hi, I have a template with 2 formfields containing the following bookmarks: - Name - Place The formfields are filled using a userform: ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name").Result = Formname.Controls(Name) ActiveDocument.FormFields("Place").Result = Formname.Controls(Place) Then I want to insert a 'new page section' and in the new section I want to insert the same template again, with thus the same bookmarks. To prevent multiple bookmarks with the same name, I delete all bookmarks before I make the new page section using: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Name").Delete ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Place").Delete I then insert the template on the second page. What I want is to use the userform again to now fill the bookmarks on the second page. However, if I use ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name").Result = Formname.Controls(Name) ActiveDocument.FormFields("Place").Result = Formname.Controls(Place) again (assuming the Name bookmark is now on the second page due to the template and having deleted all other bookmarks), the formfields on the 1st page are filled again in stead of the second page. It looks like the bookmark from the first page is not entirely deleted! If I however unprotect the page and look in the property of the formfield of the first page, there is no bookmark!

    - Prevent users from changing Text without Document Protection Hi, I would like to create a macro that will prevent users from changing certain text in the document. The text is a field in Section 1 of the document. The field is DOCPROPERTY Title. I always want them to use File > Properties to update the title, not change the title within the document by overwriting the field (most of the users would not know what a field is). I would like that as soon as they try to delete or overwrite or even select the title, that a message box comes up to say "Please go to File > Properties" to change the title. I do not want to use Document Protection as it is too restrictive for the rest of the document. I have seen some code that will prevent changes to the header or footer, which I will implement for the DOCPROPERTY fields in the header and footer, but I would like to be able to do it for the document text itself also. My thoughts on how to do it would be to restrict any changes within a section (if they select any text within Section 1 pop up an error message) or if they select any text between two bookmarks. I'm just not sure how to code this, can anyone help? Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word? Tag: 96700

    - MailMerge API Trouble Hello All, I have a question about MailMerge from within an api call. I have word doc set up using the mailmerge wizard that creates an SQL Server .odc file to use as a datasource. I am calling the OpenDataSource method (o1.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource(...) via a PowerBuilder app. All is well. However, I have one client that is getting DB errors when trying to run. The .odc connection is pointing to a view that has public permissions. Looking at the SQL trace, there is an exec sp_cursoropen line containing a select statement from the view. Followed by an exec sp_cursorfetch. Followed by an exec sp_cursorclose. Then a couple of BatchCompleted lines. All is well. Then these several lines repeat (within the trace) and I get an error after the second exec sp_cursorclose 180150000. The errors are Error: 208, Severity: 16, State: 1 followed by Error: 16945, Severity: 16, State: 1. Digging through posts on these errors, I see that 208 is roughly 'file not found' and 16945 is trouble with the cursor. Why might the first time through these statements be OK and the second time produce errors? I am running SQL Server 2000 sp4, my client is running 2000 sp3. I am on Word 2003 sp2, the client is on word 2002 sp3. I cannot recreate these errors in my environment, but the client has sent me his traces and I see where (but not why) the error is occuring.

    - Switch function, If Then, or Select Case? (or something else?) I need to write a function which checks for certain strings in a field, then reports back a "field type" (my term, not the actual fieldtype in Word) based on the strings it finds. I don't know quite how to write this. Here's what I have so far: Function FieldType(oField As Field) As String FieldType = Switch((InStr(oField.Code, "mNL1")), "mNL1", (InStr(oField.Code, "mNLa")), "mNLa", _ (InStr(oField.Code, "MACROBUTTON")), "TypeHere") End Function The problem is that if none of the expressions in the Switch function are true, there's an error. I'd like to add an "OTHER" string that the function would produce if the field it checks isn't any of my "types" (mNL1, mNLa, and TypeHere). How would I do that? Should I be using something other than the Switch function? I thought of using a Select Case statement, but I'm not sure how to phrase the InStr checks as a single expression that could be evaluated for each case. I feel like the answer is staring me in the face, but I'm not familiar enough with programming to know what I should do. Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    - Finding information related to headings I have hundreds of legacy documents that I need to add to a index database.

It does accept letters and gives me an error when I click OK on the box. I also have other input boxes that I'm going to want to check to see if the user put in a valid date format (00/00/00 or 00/00/0000 or 0/0/0000). How can I check a variable to see if it's got the right format, or limit the variable so you can't put an invalid value in it while using an input box to obtain the value? THX!

    - macro for applying one Style conditional on another Style I'm trying to create a macro that will do the following: Let's say I had a table and I applied a certain Style to one of its cells. I would like for Word to automatically apply a different Style to its neighboring cell when I tab over. I'm basically trying to translate the conditional, "If I use Style X in a cell, apply Style Y in the cell to the right. Otherwise, keep the Style in the cell to the right as Normal." into a macro. I would appreciate any hints or even websites that will help me do this. Thanks! Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word? Tag: 96619

    - Making a form field required First of all, I have a form with several fields. Several of the fields are drop down boxes. 1. Can I make these fields required (and how do I do it) 2. If I'm already using all 25 items for the list, can I make sure none are set as the default and/or how could I tell that they had actually made a selection and not just accepted the default? Thanks much Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word? Tag: 96618

    - Numbered Documents - Protected Forms I am trying to created a form template (.dot) that has an invoice number that automatically updates (+1) each time the template is used to created a new document. I found the following script for a macro that works great until I protect the form. Then I get an error because the macro can't update a protected area. I can't figure out how to "unprotect" the bookmark on the page so it can update. Any ideas? Sub AutoNew() Order = System.PrivateProfileString("C:\Settings.Txt", _ "MacroSettings", "Order") If Order = "" Then Order = 1 Else Order = Order + 1 End If System.PrivateProfileString("C:\Settings.txt", "MacroSettings", _ "Order") = Order ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Order").Range.InsertBefore Format(Date, "yymmdd" & "-") & Format(Order, "00#") ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="path" & Format(Order, "00#") End Sub Tag: How to calculate Division of Marks in Table of MS Word?

    - Automating charts in word Is it possible to automatically update charts within a word document from a data source and thus create automated reports? I want to create several research reports which will contain around 10 charts (e.g. excel bar charts). The data will be in one source and will contain flags for sector. Each sector will get a seperate report. I want to create it in word so that I can easily add text to form a story around the charts. The text will not be generated automatically and may be of different lengths depending on the results. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
