    - Document out of focus I tried this question in the general section, but someone suggested to put it here. My problem is the following: I have several templates, from which users can choose. On opening the document, based on the template(e.g. document10) a UserForm pops up. When clicking OK the results are put in the form on the created document10. This works fine the first time for every template, but the second time a new document11 is indeed opened, but the focus is set to the first document10 (of the same template), thus trying to fill in an already filled in document. This happens with every template, even if I switch between templates. Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62594

    - Text replacing based on a true condition - Part II Hi, I have a document running to 800 pages or so, which has been produced by another software (WinCross - A CROSS-TABULATION Software) and its output was saved in *.Rtf format. The another software itself generates a) Table of contents --TOC b) Actual Write-up after TOC c) page numbers - on top and bottom of each page in b) (The first page after TOC would have -- Page 1 -- on top right and bottom middle of each page and the subsequent pages would have increasing page numbers) Basically, the other software makes a), b) and c) as MAIN STORY. That is page numbers which are there on each page after Table of contents are part of the Main Story itself. Due to some bug in Wincross we are producing outputs in batches and then copy pasting them. That is b) is copied from each individual batch and pasted one below the other to produce a consolidated/ global b). Due to copy paste page numbers were wrong in the Global/Consolidated b). I got a macro from H Weber recently which could realign the page numbers in b). Basically this was a Find/replace text, where the text to find was -- .Text = "Page [0-9]{1,2}" -- and text to replace was -- .Replacement.Text = "Page " & lTmp - 30 , where lTmp is the real word page number. We are using the number 30 here because table of contents was for 30 pages. Now, I seek a macro for correcting the page numbers which are displayed WITHIN the TOCs. Since, after running H Weber's macro, b) would be perfectly alright, so I want page numbers within TOC to be displaying same page numbers as the respective page numbers in b). Im pasting part of the first Page of TOC. Page 1.......TABLE 1-A SCREENER Page 45.......TABLE 1-B QUOTA GROUPS Page 64.......TABLE 1-C REFORMULATED COMBINED QUOTA GROUPS Page 73.......TABLE 1 COMBINED QUOTA GROUPS So,What I want is to put a for loop which would search starting from first Real page of word till the end of TOC. Then within each page of TOC it searches for the string -- .text = "Page [0-9]{1,2,3}....." -- And then the cursor goes to end of that and then reads the text of the remaining sentence. Like in the above case -- Page 64.....-- would be searched and the text of the remaining sentence would be -- TABLE 1-C --. Now, I want to perform a search on text -- Table 1-C -- within b) part which is the part of document after TOC. The Real word page number of the first instance of the text would be copied and then it would replace -- Page 64.....-- with --- Page ?? - 30 -- where ?? is the real page number where -- Table 1-C -- was found within b). Im doing - 30 in above case because I have taken an example where TOC is 30 pages. if it is different I will go and change that line of code to some other number. Please guide me if possible. Thanks a lot, Hari India Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62593

    - Packaging and Deploying a Word 2000 Project I maintain a rather complex Word 2000 project comprising of one global template and two templates. It is distributed around my organisation for installation on Windows 2000 laptops with particularly strong security policies I have written my own custom setup macros to install these files but all too often these fail because the user doesn't have the permissions required to install files in the "Program Files" folder. Manual installations are perfectly possible - but not ideal. Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf solution like Wise or InstallShield that is capable of installing *.dot files, deleting old files, detecting the location of the Word Startup folder and writing/editing registry entries. I have heard of the Office 2000 Package and Deployment Wizard but don't want to risk buying Office 2000 Developer unless I know it will work. Any light you can throw on this particular problem would be much appreciated. Thank you. Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62592

    - VBA textboxes Hi I am working on a Word 2003 application in which I populate the document with data that I retrieve from a database. The number of pages within the document depends on the amount of records returned from querying the database. I have set up an auto text entry that contains all of the fields (textboxes) for each record. On startup I insert the autotext entries so that the document displays the correct number of pages to display detail for all the selected records. I now need to populate textboxes on the various pages in the doc. I know the names each textbox (e.g. txtAddress, txtAddress1 for the next page, etc.) but I don't know how I can set the .text property of each textbox in code because only the textboxes on the first page will be available at design time. Can anyone suggest a way around this? Will I nee to try a different appraoch? Thanks Darach Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62586

    - Find & Replace not working!! I need pretty bad help: The usual Find and Replace under the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor does not work at all!! Nothing fancy, I just click on Edit - Find and type some character, push enter and nothing happens. It works fine with all other applications including Word. It simply does not work with the VB editor in Word. Here's what I have tried: a) Removed Normal.dot (just so it is related in some weird way) b) Uninstalled Office and installed it again c) Restarting the comp / scandisk (again, whatever that'll remotely make it work) It's very annoying to go through a million modules without the Find thing working!! Has anybody ever experienced this? Please, please do not suggest reinstalling Windows!! It's a big inconvenience and I don't have any ghost image of the hard drive! Thanks for your time / responses.

    - Custom printing options available through VBA? I am just learning VBA printing options, so bear with my novice-ness. :) I'm writing a snippet of code to automate a print job. As part of the job, I would like to three-hole punch certain pages and staple others. These options (three-hole punching and stapling) are available through the PRINTER->PROPERTIES menu, but I do not see any language reference to this area in VBA. Is it possible for me to automate access to "special" printer functions through VBA? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice. Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62569

    - How to delete pages in MailMerge Hi- A week ago, I posted a question that was not successfully answered, so I'll change my approach and rephrase it. I have a rather long document that has many fields that are filled in by a mailmerge. (MERGEFIELDs and DOCVARIABLEs gotten from several user forms, where the user fills in OptionBoxs, CheckBoxs and TextBoxes). MailMerge will generate the entire document, but if a certain question is not answered, I want to delete some pages. If I can set up bookmarks around these pages, can a macro be automatically run, and if the DOCVARIABLE is "Y", then delete from BookmarkA to BookmarkB? Alternatively, is there a better way of doing this? Thanks, Marty Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62552

    - VBA copy and paste I am working on an application using Word 2003. I am familar with VBA using Excel and Access, but not with Word. The application I am working on is a word doc that reads data in from a database. It can be any number of pages long and each page will be in the exact same format (consisting of tables, labels and text boxes). What I need to be able to do is write a macro that on can copy and paste the first page on to other pages, depending on how many are required (this will be done on startup). Can anyone help?

    - Renumbering superscript notes? I'm wondering if it's possible to create a macro that will renumber all the occurrances of superscipt consecutively--even if they're not using the endnote or footnote function? The reason for the last part is that I currently use a macro that unembeds the notes and changes the note numbers to superscript. This way I can move or renumber a note manually without deleting the corresponding text of the note. However, it would be a great help if I could set up a macro that would, after I'm finishing editing, go through the document and renumber all the notes consecutively in case there's one that was missing, out-of-sequence, etc. Is this even feasible? Thanks in advance! ~Carrie Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62544

    - How to make doc's FullName into an AutoText entry without first inserting it into document This macro works fine. It temporarily Inserts Fullname of the active document into the document and makes that string an AutoText entry called MyDocName, which is used later by another macro to reactivate this document from another document. This enables me to return instantly to this document without having to open the Window menu or scroll through the open documents. But I wonder if there is a more efficient way of doing it, so that the active document's FullName doesn't actually have to be inserted into the document as a range, but rather the FullName becomes an AutoText entry in one step. It seems that would make the macro a little faster. Any ideas? Thanks. Larry . Sub DocFullNameStore() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim X As Long, Y As Long Dim r As Range X = ActiveDocument.Range.End - 1 ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter ActiveDocument.FullName Y = ActiveDocument.Range.End - 1 Set r = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=X, End:=Y) NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries.Add Name:="MyDocFullName", Range:=r r.Delete End Sub Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62528

    - Word 2003 customised toolbar I have a template which has an attached toolbar. When a document is first created from the template, some of the toolbar buttons are enabled and some are not. When the buttons are used, a routine (UpDateToolbars) is called which checks various conditions and enables or disables buttons according to those conditions. This works perfectly in Word 97 and Word XP. In Word 2003, after the call to UpDateToolbars all of the buttons appear as if they were disabled (greyed out) except occasionally when they all appear as if they were enabled. The buttons are "repainted" correctly if the cursor is swept over them. Forcing a screen refresh at the end of the UpDateToolBars procedure does not correct this. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    - Problems with headers and footers - lengthy I'm sorry Win 2K Word 2K Hi All Thank you to anyone in advance who has the patience to read this. I have tried everything and read tons in these groups to try and resolve the problems, but I'm not sure there is a bullet proof way of doing what I need. Here's the situation (I'll try to be brief but in fear that brief may not be descriptive enough ....... here goes.... ) When a user presses Alt + S, an inputbox appears, the user is prompted for the name of a witness, and the witness name is then inserted into the document with a colon, two spaces and the word SWORN following their name. Additionally, I bookmark the name for use in a table later on. code snippet for Alt + S (NASTY but it works for now until I clean it up hopefully with ranges) ************************************************** Dim strSwornName As String strSwornName = InputBox("Enter Name of individual being sworn") 'Inserts name of witness being sworn With Selection .TypeText Text:=StrConv(strSwornName, vbUpperCase) & ": " & "SWORN" .ParagraphFormat.Space15 .EndKey unit:=wdLine .HomeKey unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend .Font.UnderLine = wdUnderlineSingle .MoveLeft unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .MoveRight unit:=wdWord, Count:=1 .MoveRight unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend End With strWitnessName = Left(strSwornName, 1) & ". " strWitnessName = strWitnessName & Trim(Mid(strSwornName, InStrRev(strSwornName, " "))) 'Marks Last Name as bookmark for header strWitnessLastName = StrConv(Selection.Range, vbProperCase) With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:=strWitnessLastName End With 'Marks Last Name as bookmark for table of contents strFWitnessName = Mid(strSwornName, InStrRev(strSwornName, " ")) & ", " & Left(strSwornName, InStr(strSwornName, " ")) ******************************************** When a user presses Alt +1 , I have the text "EXAMINATION IN CHIEF BY" + a document property being placed at the current location in the document. code snippet ******************************** With myRng .Text = strChief & " " .InsertAfter ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("PTitle") & _ ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("PLastName") & ":" .Case = wdUpperCase .Font.UnderLine = wdUnderlineSingle End With *************************************** In addition to typing the text, the current code takes the name of the last bookmark it finds in the file (the name of a witness), moves to a specified table( table 1), inserts the bookmarked text in the first blank row and bookmarked text page number in a specific column which is determined by the type of examination. (Alt + 2 enters the text "CROSS-EXAMINATION BY" ... (thus specifying a different column). That part works just fine. (Not very elegant, but here's the gist of it - there's more but I thought this would be enough. This piece only takes care of the Examination in Chief) ************************************************ otable.Range.Rows(otable.Rows.Count).Range.Select With Selection .InsertRowsBelow 1 .Collapse (wdCollapseStart) End With myrow = Selection.Information(wdStartOfRangeRowNumber) With Selection .TypeText Text:=StrConv(Trim(strFWitnessName), vbProperCase) .MoveLeft unit:=wdWord, Count:=3, Extend:=wdExtend .Font.UnderLine = wdUnderlineNone .MoveRight unit:=wdCell Selection.InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:="Bookmark", ReferenceKind:= _ wdPageNumber, ReferenceItem:=strBN, InsertAsHyperlink:=False, _ IncludePosition:=False End With ******************************************************* I also need the header on the page where EXAMINATION IN CHIEF or CROSS-EXAMINATION BY appears to print in the header .. however in a different format. If ALT + 1 is pressed and EXAMINATION IN CHIEF BY appears in the body, then the header must read "FirstInitial LastName of Witness - in Ch." minus the quotation marks. If ALT + 2 is pressed and CROSS-EXAMINATION BY appears in the body, then the header must read "FirstInitial LastName of Witness - Cr. Ex.". I have created subroutines to assemble the names properly for insertion in the header as they are actually coming from custom document properties not formatted the way they need to appear in the header. The difficulty I AM having is twofold: Problem #1 The header on all pages from section 3 to the end of the document must ALWAYS include at least the following: 1. R. v Name of Defendant in addition to what I have described above (the in-Ch. or cr-Ex).on the third line The number 1 is the page number and a period The R. v Name of Defendant is a field in the header that looks like this: { DOCPROPERTY "Header1" \* MERGEFORMAT } Problem #2 Although the text EXAMINATION IN CHIEF BY .... may appear on page 3, that individual's testimony may well carry over several pages until he/she is finally CROSS-EXAMINED. At the page where the text CROSS-EXAMINATION BY appears, the header will once again change to reflect the fact that the cross-examination has now begun on that page. The page number and R. v Name of Defendant must remain in the header and if the examination in chief appears on the same page, that text must also remain in the header. I will then need "FirstInitial LastName of Witness - cr-Ex." to appear on a fourth line in the header. Once a new witness is sworn in, the process begins again. That is, the EXAMINATION IN CHIEF will have to be re-set in the header until the witness is cross-examined etc. etc. The document will continue to proceed in the same manner as potentially hundreds (although that's probably excessive) of witnesses could testify. Thank you to anyone brave enough to have read all this and further, have any suggestions or recommendations. Please let me know if I can clarify anything or whether I could have somehow posted this in an easier to read format. Legal jargon mixed with vba???? .... am I NUTS?

    - Legacy Access2/VB4 app merge errors with Word 11 I have a network where all of the client machines were recently replaced and are now running XP Pro SP2. Office 2003 is also on the new machines. The legacy application was written in VB 4 and I have no source code available. The Access version is 2.0. The application works as expected and as it did before the upgrade with the exception of Microsoft Word merging capabilities. The application creates a proper ".dat" merge document but is unable to do the link. The .dat file contains a properly generated header with the field names tab separated and the data from the requested record (by entering the keycode value in a message box) tab deliminted as well. The data is what it should contain. The setup settings are properly directing the application to the correct directory path and winword.exe file name. Word does not open and three errors occur in succession according to the messages that appear: In the title bar of the message box: "Merge Error (Word) #1056 and in the center of the message box: "Not a valid filename." Clicking on the OK command button brings up another error message box with the title bar showing "31031 (0)" and the text in the message box being "Invalid Source for link" Clicking in the OK command button brings up another error message box with the title bar showing "31004(0)" and the text in the message box being "No object." The document is a valid document and the path is correct. I have written a workaround macro in VBA of Word to allow them, after responding OK to the three messages in the legacy Access app, to press Alt-M in an open, no-document Word application which presents them with the directory containing the master merge document and containing the newly created data source .dat file containing the header and record data as requested in the legacy app. After selection of the requested file, I test the file name of the .doc file and create a DataSourceFileName for .dat files over 8.3 and then do the merge of the document to a new file with the .dat file created and given as the source for the master document. This process proceedes without a problem. I suspect that there may be some ODBC connectivity problems between the legacy apps that don't know OLE and that are looking for another type of data source other than ".dat" files. This was the old way of providing a data source from which to merge via ODBC (to fake it out) and the older DDE application connectivity. I do not have the old app source code, the developer are not at all interested in updating to anything later than Access 97 (believing that Bill Gates is out to destroy them <bg>. Is there anything I can do, other than writing a new application, to allow the users to merge with this old application to Word v. 11? I have no problem accessing the tables via a DSN-less SQLConnect() statement but the record comes through some 24 steps in a "Logic" table in a different database than the actual data. I have been doing database programming for 17 years but have little, brief experience with Access but quite a bit with VBA, Visual FoxPro, SQL, and C. It has been suggested that I write a dummy application in VB6 to impersonate Word 6 and receive the file names passed and then use those and call Word 11 from this dummy app, passing the merge file and data source file names to Word 11 on startup. I don't know how I'd go about "impersonating Word 6" and create this "DDE sink" that's been suggested. Any suggestions for any approach would be greatly appreciated? The work-around is getting the users to the goal line but it's taking too many downs to do make the touchdown. Justice Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62497

    - Finding bad formatting Dear people, For some time now, I'm struggling to solve a VBA problem. Some of you already gave some assistance, for which I'm great full. I'm trying to find some bad formatting in a word document using VBA. On all paragraphs are paragraph styles applied. On pieces of some paragraphs, are Character styles applied. On other pieces of text, other manual formatting is applied like "bold" or "Bold Italic". I'm trying to detect the pieces of text that has no "character style" applied and yet have other manual formatting is applied like "Bold Italic". For example: Some text is set to bold, this is wrong. Other text has the character style "BOLD" applied, this is good. I need to highlight all the bad formatting. Can anyone please help me? Thanks JD Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62495

    - msmapi32.ocx vba vb problem I made a mail application in word vba. It works fine but I didn't know that someone installed vb 6 on my computer. Other people want to use the application too and the activeX control: MSMAPI32.OCX is missing. Can I put that ocx on a network drive. Those people dont have administrator rights and can't install applications, only NAL-objects. A solution is making an exe with the vb 6 wizard but to install that you must have rights to do that. Does anyone know a solution. Put it in c:\windows\system32 or run a register program in vbs code or something? If I place the ocx on a drive on a user computer and click the microsoft MAPI controls in the toolbox and choose the directory with the ocx it works so it has not to bee registered or licensed, am I right???

Like many times if I copy data from let's say Web/ some software etc and paste in to Word (I use word for Printing only !!!) then the last page would be having no data (atleast it would be blank as far as am able to see) but still even if am sitting on the period after the last letter in the Main Story and if i keep pressing delete the Last page just wouldnt get deleted. Why does this happen? Is there a VBA solution to it (and yes, would be happy to know non-VBA solution as well) Thanks a lot, Hari India Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62475

    - Find string in table and move to next cell Hello All Windows 2K Word 2K I'm trying to locate a string (strFWitnessName) in a table in my document and then move one cell to the right to enter a page number. strFWitnessName could appear in 1 of three tables in the document ( but it will never appear in all three) I do not want to search the entire document as strFWitnessName will appear throughout the document text as well. I found the following code posted by Doug Robbins and tried testing it but apparently I am just not familiar enough with vba to understand what it is doing. Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, myrange As Range For j = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables.Count For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(j).Rows.Count Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Tables(j).Cell(i, 1).Range myrange.End = myrange.End - 1 If myrange.Text = strFWitnessName Then ActiveDocument.Tables(j).Cell(i, 2).Range.Text = "pagenumber1" ActiveDocument.Tables(j).Cell(i, 3).Range.Text = "pagenumber2" End If Next i Next j Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If a user makes an invalid entry I want to display a message, clear the entry, and set the focus back to the same field. The mesgbox displays perfectly, and the entry is cleared fine. However, the focus keeps going to the next textbox in the frame. I am getting frustrated! I even tried setting the focus back to the frame first, and then to the field.

    - Can't add a reference to the specified file Here's one for the Google archive, in case anyone else hits it. On my development machine, I began getting an error when attempting to set a reference within a Word VBA module to another Word template. The error was: Can't add a reference to the specified file The template I was trying to set a reference to was one I have been using for over a year without a problem. My machine gets pretty badly beaten up while I'm coding and debugging, so no doubt I fried something. Now here's the strange thing. The template to be referenced was: c:\My Programs\Foo\Foo.dot The precise symptom: start word, hit Alt+F11, open a module, choose Tools, References, navigate to and select the Foo template. PRANG! Error. Exit Word. Rename either the template *or* the folder *or* the folder's parent, and everything works! E.g.: c:\My Programs\Foo\FooA.dot -- no problem c:\My Programs\FooZ\Foo.dot -- no problem It was only when the template full path was c:\My Programs\Foo\Foo.dot that the error occurred. Very bizarre! I reinstalled MS Office, cleaned the registry of all references to Foo, but no joy. It turned out that the problem was somewhere inside my XP profile. When I logged in as another user, everything worked. I simply renamed my old profile, then logged in as myself again. Presto! Problem solved. (I had to harvest my favorites, Start menu, etc. from my old profile, but it sure beat nuking and rebuilding the machine. Hope this helps someone else. Tag: How do I change printer Tag: 62448

printer. (I can probably save it and change it back, but automation is
quirky sometime and it does not always follow thru)
