    - Hyperlinking to a template containing VB from webpages I'm probably missing something obvious here... I've created some Word templates using VB and I want the users to be able to link to them from our intranet site. However, if you open the template using the link it opens the template itself rather than creating a new document based upon the template. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

    - Adding logos to document I've concocted the following macro. The idea is that the user prints the current document onto headed paper but then if they want to email it (as an attachment) and therefore want the logo on the document the macro fetches the "pictures" from another document. 1) It feels "cludgy". Is there a more elegant way of achieving this result? 2) I've tested it on Word 2002. It will be installed (tomorrow?) on Word 2003 - should I expect it to work? 3) There are around 30 users on a network who need access to it. Is it better installed locally or on the network? I assume Gobal templates is where it should go? 4) How do I find out what the picture numbers are? So far I only know by recording a macro and then seeing the result. Many thanks.

    - How to enable envelope in a protected document I was wondering if somebody could help me finish this macro to work correctly. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to run the envelopes and labels with a protected document. I found a macro to spell check a protected document and that worked great, at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm I then tried taking this macro and making it work for envelopes and labels. I came fairly close, I can run the macro and the envelopes and labels dialog box will pop up and if the user has a name and address it will bring that into the envelope dialog box. If the user hits print it will print it correctly and then close the dialog box and then protect the document. If the user it's cancel they get an run-time error and the document doesn't get protected. Here is what I have and maybe if we can get this to work correctly maybe this could be posted on the MVPS site for "How to enable envelopes and labels in a protected document" Option Explicit Dim Cancelled As Boolean, MyRange As Range, CorrectedError As String Sub WSNEnvelope() ' ' WSNEnvelope Macro ' Macro created 7/25/2006 by WSN ' Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range, oDoc As Document 'If no documents open, quit macro If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Set OriginalRange = Selection.Range System.Cursor = wdCursorWait 'Now unprotect the document oDoc.Unprotect Password:="wsnforms" Application.Run Macroname:="ToolsCreateEnvelope" If Cancelled Then Exit Sub 'Re-protect the document oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, _ Password:="wsnforms" 'oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True OriginalRange.Select Application.ScreenRefresh 'Release variables from memory System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal Cancelled = False CorrectedError = vbNullString Set MyRange = Nothing End Sub Thanks Brent Morris Tag: change default printer Tag: 88918

    - Move cursor to end of table of contents Hi all, I have a macro which adds extra text into the table of contents, but for it to work correctly, the cursor needs to be placed at the end of the TOC.

    - Capturing Information via a User Form I'm using a user form to capture fax information for a fax cover sheet. 1) Is the RANGE property the preferred means of grabbing info from a field and placing it into a field on the user form? ex: frmFaxCover.txtPhone = Bookmarks.Item("fieldPhone").Range 2) What syntax would I use to grab the information from the User Form and update the fields on the document? When I tried setting the .Range property, the field was deleted completely. I'd prefer to simply update the field preserving it. David H Tag: change default printer Tag: 88912

I occasionally add or delete a term from the array.

    - Run the Same Macro on Multiple Files I'm proud of myself. I actually came up with a very useful Word VBA macro without having to ask anyone how to do it: Sub Macro2() Dim theFileName As String theFileName = Dir("C:\Temp\*.htm") Do While Len(theFileName) > 0 ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp\" Documents.Open FileName:=theFileName Application.Run MacroName:="Normal.NewMacros.Macro1" ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp2\" ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=theFileName, _ FileFormat:=wdFormatFilteredHTML ActiveWindow.Close theFileName = Dir Loop End Sub This time-saving macro opens an .htm file in "C:\Temp", edits it by running a macro called "Macro1", and then saves it as an .htm file by the same name in folder "C:\Temp2". Then it automatically repeats the procedure for all of the other .htm files in folder "C:\Temp". I found out how to do the above for one file by recording a macro while going through the procedure manually, but this didn't tell me how to perform the operation on multiple files automatically. For that information I did a search and found the following old posting on this same amazing news-group (microsoft.public.word.vba.general): http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.vba.general/msg/0b1408cc4f19cd26 Hooray for Google Groups!

    - using vba to delete part of a document I've got a group of letters that are generated through a mail merge with an excel file. These letters are to various entities and contain a listing of specific incidents that they were involved in. Since I wanted to just have one template and since the number of incidents per letter will vary, I simply created a template that had X number of incident placeholders and when the merge was performed, the placeholders were only populated up to the number of incidents that particular entity had. For example, right now the template has 39 placeholders because that happens to be the largest number of incidents in any one letter. If I merge the data for an entity who has 6 incidents, then the resulting letter will contain those 6 incidents, followed by 33 incident placeholders that contain no data. Currently, I have to go back in to each letter and delete the "extra" placeholders that are left over from the mail merge. (I know, I know..there is probably a much easier way for me to do all of this from the outset, but this is what I'm currently stuck with.) I've managed to place an identifier in the excel file so that when the data is merged into letters, this identifier is always found after the last incident in the letter...thus I know that everything after the identifier until the language at the bottom of the letter that is the same for all the letters can be deleted...that is, all the rest of the incidents are simply blank placeholders. What I would like to be able to do is create a macro that will go through a letter and remove those placeholders for me. I'm thinking along these lines, but I don't know how to make Word do this: 1. Find the identifier in the letter and move the cursor there. 2. Mark where the cursor is. 3. Find the beginning text at the bottom of the letter that marks the ending of the incident placeholders and place the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph. 4. Mark where the cursor is. 5. Now delete everything that is between the first and second marks. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Or possibly even a better way to go about it? -Brian Tag: change default printer Tag: 88876

    - Symbol font chars changing to "(" after passing through VBA Regex I've been having some trouble with characters in Symbol font converting to "(" when the paragraph which contains them is altered using VBA Regular Expressions. I'm using the Range.Text object because the FormattedText object will not work (for me, anyway) with Regex. The characters are fine if only a match is done. However, once any kind of substitution is performed in the paragraph, the characters "break". Has anyone else out there encountered this? If so, have you come up with any work arounds? The search is complex enough to rule out using Word's wildcard search capabilities with Selection. Thanks, Tag: change default printer Tag: 88867

    - Message box to show in Word and not in Excel All: I am running Windows XP with Word and Excel 2003. I am running Excel VBA to open a word document and do some procedures. Basically, my code gets some values in excel, then opens up Word and inserts the data into Word. At the end of my code, I have a message box that says "the CD labels are ready to print". When my code is finished, it ends with word showing and activated on my screen. But the message box is shown on Excel and the only way to see it is to activate Excel . Is there any way to have this message box show up on top of Word being activated or do I need to reactivate Excel to show this message box? If I can only do one or the other, can you let me know and show me some code that can do this? I am new to this VBA code stuff but am trying to eagerly learn.

    - Questions regarding Userform/Macro Hello, it's been a while since I've posted my problems here :D but I'm still having the same ones... I've got a macro that will insert a form number in a document (where ever the cusor is) and it works well. When I tried insert the option to omit the last page from printing I ran into issues with variables (as in I'm not sure how to use them correctly). The code uses multiple message boxes to get all the info required and Jezebel suggested using a userform. I've got that created but I'm not sure how to go about setting it up for use with my macro (assigning buttons/fields). I'm discovering that I may be in a little over my head with this stuff so your help would be GREATLY appreciated :D I'll post the code for the macro, the userform, and the "omit last page print" code that Jezebel suggested. Can you help me combine these to hopefully work using the userform. Thanks :) Here's the code for the macro: Dim NumCopies As String Dim StartNum As String Dim Counter As Long Dim oRng As Range If MsgBox("The copy number will appear at the insertion point." _ & " Is the cursor at the correct position?", _ vbYesNo, "Placement") = vbNo Then End If ActiveDocument.Saved = False Then If MsgBox("Do you want to save any changes before" & _ " printing?", vbYesNoCancel, "Save document?") _ = vbYes Then ActiveDocument.Save End If End If StartNum = Val(InputBox("Enter the starting number.", _ "Starting Number", 60099444)) NumCopies = Val(InputBox("Enter the number of copies that" & _ " you want to print", "Copies", 1)) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="CopyNum", Range:=Selection.Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("CopyNum").Range Counter = 0 If MsgBox("Are you sure that you want to print " _ & NumCopies & " numbered " & " copies of this document", _ vbYesNoCancel, "On your mark, get set ...?") = vbYes Then While Counter < NumCopies oRng.Delete oRng.Text = StartNum Dim sCurrentPrinter As String Dim sFormPrint As String sCurrentPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter Application.ActivePrinter = "\\AMPACPRINT\05025_82_9k on NE02:" Application.PrintOut Application.ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter StartNum = StartNum + 1 Counter = Counter + 1 Wend End If End Sub Here's the code for the "omit last page": Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to print the last page?", vbYesNoCancel) Case vbYes ActiveDocument.PrintOut Case vbNo ActiveDocument.PrintOut From:=1, To:=ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Number of pages") - 1 Case Else End Select And finally the userform code...

    - form field calculation trouble I've been all over the forums and newsgroups on this and am making 0 progress. This seems like it should be pretty simple but it's giving me loads of grief. I have a Word 2003 dot file set for filling in forms. It has 2 form fields for the user to fill in a quantity and a price. There needs to be a 3rd field that will show the result. I've tried doing this using a macro and I've tried it using a calculation in the 3rd field Nothing works. Also, every time I set the bookmark name in one of them it randomly goes blank the next time I open the dot file so I can editi it. Yes, the first 2 fields are set to calculate on exit. Yes, the 3rd field is not allowed to be filled in. field 1 (form text): Type = Number, Max length = 5, number format = #,##0.00, Bookmark = NumAdultTickets, Fill-in enabled = true, Calculate on exit = true field 2 (form text): Type = Number, Max length = 5, number format = #,##0.00, Bookmark = CostPerAdultTickets, Fill-in enabled = true, Calculate on exit = true I created field 3 by using CTRL+F9: Then I right clicked it and chose "Edit Field". I clicked the "formula" button and in the "Formula" box I typed =NumAdultTickets*CostPerAdultTicket. I set the number format to #,##0.00. After clicking "OK" I see this in my table cell: {{=NumAdultTickets*CostPerAdultTicket \#"#,##0.00"}} I set the dot file to protected for filling in forms and saved it. Then I double clicked the dot file to create a new doc file from it. When I fill in the first 2 fields nothing happens in the 3rd. It's just blank. I'm an experienced VB, FoxPro, Access, Delphi, SQL programmer. It sucks trying to get stuff like this to work. It's not logical. What am I doing wrong? Please don't refer me to Dian Chapman's series of articles. I've looked them over and they seem to only cover initially creating the form and some fields and then writing vba for it. VBA seems overkill for simple calculations here. Everything I've read indicates that what I'm doing above should work. Thanks for any help you can give, Keith Tag: change default printer Tag: 88815

    - Hyperlink in Word calling from an excel spreadsheet Ok, I must do a little explaining first. I have a form, which collects the path of a given Word file and stores it in an excel cell. Then I have a module in excel transfer the contents of the cells to bookmarks in a word template file, then saves the word [template] document in the folder containing the excel file. I would like to the path of the file to be displayed as a hyperlink in word. Here is my code for making it a hyperlink: Dim wdApp As Word.Application Dim wdDoc As Word.Document Dim strText As String Set wdApp = New Word.Application Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(Range("Data!Word").Offset(0, 1).Value, , True, , , , , , , , , True) wdDoc.Activate DoEvents UpdateBookmarkText wdDoc, "wMSProjectLoc", Range("TestInfo!SMSProjectLoc").Offset(0, 1).Value Dim MShyperlink As Word.Range Set MShyperlink = wdDoc.Bookmarks("wMSProjectLoc").Range wdDoc.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=MShyperlink, Address:=MShyperlink, TextToDisplay:=MShyperlink wdDoc.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Summary.doc" The update bookmarktext is a command from a differnt part of the module, but basically, it just puts the text from the excel cell into a designated bookmark in the word document template. My problem is this: When it makes the link, the path is screwed up. It will show up as a link, but the path given is actually... C:/mydocs/excelworkbookfolder/FORMTEXT/actuallinkfromcellinexcel.doc Why does FORMTEXT actually mean, and how do I get the link to be just the path in the cell, and not that whole long thing.

    - variable naming conventions I have seen people use int or just i, str or just s, etc., in front of variable names. It seems people have their own preferences. Does anyone know of a website that provides proper varable naming conventions? Thanks. Tag: change default printer Tag: 88768

    - Which sub does a toolbar call? I took over the support of Word macros done by other people and they were heavy on the toolbars. The problem I'm having is I have all these toolbars I need to debug and I can't figure out which sub they call. I actually tried using this code MsgBox Me.CommandBars("test1").Controls("test2").OnAction but it returns an empty string. I can set it like and return what I set but that doesn't help me.

    - How to strip macros/project from a word document Is there a simple programmatic way in Word 2003 to strip a word document of it's VBA/macro code. e.g., given a directory of word documents, I'd like to run a VBA script that opens up each in turn, "strips" them of any VBA Project/Macro code, then saves them back. I've done some googling but haven't seen anything. The background is that the system that produces these documents generates them with macros that are useful when the document is first created, but problematic if the document is sent to someone outside the organization. thanks in advance Tag: change default printer Tag: 88766

    - Automating Display of FOUO I once queried this NG for advice on how to automatically have Word display the words "For Official Use Only" in the footer of the document whenever the "Official" style was used. The Word MVP who helped recommended inserting a "field construction" with the following expression: { IF {STYLEREF Official } = "(FOUO)" "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" ""} Typing that is easy, but what is a field construction and how do I insert it? Is it Insert>Field. If so, which field do I choose and how do I modify it to get the expression in there? Many thanx! Erik Tag: change default printer Tag: 88747

    - Combining Documents - Locking Fields OK, the process of combining documents causes problems with page numbering. Is there a way to lock in the fields in a given document. The doc opens with VBA, and then I could run some code like Activedocument.Lockfields. Then when I combine the documents, the fields would not update and cause page numbering problems. What do you think? Derek Tag: change default printer Tag: 88744

    - How can I extract and categorize a word document I have a huge word document file filled with database text that was generated using old softwares. I want to be able to sort out this text by creating a macro. The macro should look for "RCCODE=XXXX" XXXX will vary. I need the chunk of text following this entry (the whole page) to be copied into another txt file or word document. Whichever has the same RCCODE, should be in the same text file. I know this is confusing but because I am dealing with a huge huge database, this is very hard to do so manually. Anyone has any ideas? Much appreciation!

    - How can I get an animated Gif to work in Word? I usually use OpenOffice which allows the animted gifs to be seen, but in Word - which I have to distribute the file as a .doc, it is just a static gif - can I change this somehow so the user will see the animated gif actually animated?

    - How can I insert the default Outlook signature into a document? Hi Each of my users has a default signature set up in Outlook. I'd like to be able to pull this signature into a Word document. I know that there is a link between the two apps (after all, you can use Word as your email editor), is this link accessible from VBA or will I need to automate Outlook in order to get the signature from it? While looking around for a solution, I found several posts that say that signatures are accessed two different ways depending on whether or not WordMail is used. All of these posts are referring to the GUI. When using VBA will I need to have two different code paths, or does VBA always access the signature in the same way?

    - counting word tables above a cursor location Hello I am writing a macro that is trying to import a variable number of word tables from the middle of a many-table document into excel. My macro starts with a sub procedure that selects the first table to be imported via an excel userform that searches the word document and finds a cell with certain identifying text. What I want to do is then import a certain variable number of tables following that found table. I am somewhat unfamiliar with programming in word, so I have no idea how to proceed. Can anybody suggest a path to do this? Thanks. -Abe Tag: change default printer Tag: 88729

    - How do I automatically not save changes to global templates I have set up a MS Word Template with quite a lot of VBA functionality, including altering the menu bars to give the user access to extra functionality as they use the document. However, whenever you close a document based on that template, it asks if you want to save changes to the template itself. I don't want the users to have this option, so how do I get the template to automatically close without saving changes? Tag: change default printer Tag: 88728

    - update link source by article title Hi all, I need to automate a word doc. that links to Excel. I'm ok with VBA but never did any macro in Word. The word doc. has a few links to Excel tables (for now suppose they are all in one file). The links need to change every quarter or month. I want them change automatically when the report title change from something like Q106 to Q206. Or I can put the time in somewhere in the word report and make links change corresponding to it. Please give hints. Thank you. Tag: change default printer Tag: 88720

I have an application that runs word in batch, and I want to change the
printer to use a duplex printer. Print the report, and change the printer
back to the default printer.

I created this template, which resides in templates directory, with a
shortcut residing in C:\Documents and Settings\Darrell Lee\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

I have macros autoexec and autoclose in the template as shown below, but it
doesn't seem to be working. I could use some help.

Sub AutoExec()
'
' AutoExec Macro
' change to duplex printer
'
ActivePrinter = "\\swbc-pdw\Aficio2045-ELIC"
End Sub
Sub AutoClose()
'
' AutoExec Macro
' change back to original default printer
'
ActivePrinter = "\\swbc-pdw\LM410-ELIC"
End Sub
