    - Reminder/Meeting version/format Hi all. I use VB6 to add reminders and set meetings in outlook: Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objMeet = olApp.CreateItem(1) '1=olAppointmentItem In the code I use : objMeet.OptionalAttendees = strEmails I have two machines, one with Outlook2000 and the other with Outlook XP. When I run this code on the machine that has Outlook 2000, the machine with Outlook XP gets the invitation correctly (I can see its a meeting invitation, I can accept/reject etc.). When I run this code on the machine that has Outlook XP, the machine with Outlook 2000 gets the invitation as a message with unclear text. Can I force the code to send the invitation in a low version format (i.e. Outlook 97). ? Please advise. Guy Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58284

    - Document.Close New instance of Template I have a word template that uses a macro to open another word document, fills in some variables, and then is supposed to close the "new" instance of the template w/o saving (I need a template for my purposes which I won't get into). When I try to use ThisDocument.Close, nothing happens. Is there a reason ThisDocument.Close doesn't work on a new instance of a template or am I doing something wrong? I know that ThisDocument.Close works on a non-template file and also work when I "open" the template instead of using "new". This is probably an old question, but my search was unsuccessful.

    - Copying fields from headers Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I searched through this newsgroup and found different variations but not quite.... I have 2 documents and am trying to create a 3rd from the first 2. 1st document has a header with some fields and text (like page number, date and company info) followed by the content, and 2nd document just has content (no header). I create the 3rd document by inserting second document at the end of the first and saving it as the 3rd document. However, I can't seem to get the fields of the header from the first document into the 3rd document. Doing the following: Dim Text As String = objDocument1.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.Text objDocument3.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.Text = Text only copies the text, and the field values are copied as text from the first document, so on all pages, I get 1 of 1 ({PageNumber} of {NumPages}). Is there a way I can copy the field like PageNumber and Date over to the 3rd document and then update them? I need to do the update after the 3rd document is created, since I need the header on the pages of the 2nd document as well. TIA, Usha Here is the code: Dim myApp As Word.Application = New Word.Application myApp.Application.Visible = False Dim objDocument1 As Word.Document = myApp.Documents.Open("c:\doc1.doc", ReadOnly:=True) With myApp.Selection.Find .ClearFormatting() .Text = "<!firstname!>" With .Replacement .ClearFormatting() .Text = "Usha" End With .Execute(Replace:=Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll) End With With myApp.Selection.Find .ClearFormatting() .Text = "<!lastname!>" With .Replacement .ClearFormatting() .Text = "Vas" End With .Execute(Replace:=Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll) End With Dim objDocument3 As Word.Document = myApp.Documents.Add() Dim Range1 As Word.Range = objDocument1.Range.FormattedText Dim Range3 As Word.Range = objDocument3.Range Dim Selection3 As Word.Selection = objDocument3.ActiveWindow.Selection Range3.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd) Range3.FormattedText = Range1.FormattedText Range3.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd) Selection3.EndOf(Unit:=Word.WdUnits.wdStory, Extend:=Word.WdMovementType.wdMove) With Selection3 .InsertBreak(Type:=Word.WdBreakType.wdSectionBreakNextPage) .InsertFile(FileName:="c:\doc2.doc", ConfirmConversions:=False) .Collapse(Direction:=Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd) End With Dim Text As String = objDocument1.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.Text objDocument3.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.Text = Text objDocument3.SaveAs("c:\Development\PreAuth\docs\doc3.doc") objDocument1.Close(Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges) objDocument3.Close() objDocument1 = Nothing objDocument3 = Nothing myApp = Nothing Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58274

    - Problem with digitaly signed VBProject Hi all, I have a template with digitally signed VBProject. The problem is that the second statement in the sub fails. I had noticed that if "Normal.dot" also digitally signed the problem disappears. But signing "Normal.dot" for certain reasons is unacceptable. The possible solution could be to make Word to create embedded Microsoft Word Document based on digitally signed template altered from "Normal.dot". But I didnâ??t found the way to do it still. Security level: high Trust all installed add-ins and templates: unchecked Sub CreateDocument() Dim doc As Document Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="Word.Document.8", _ FileName :="", LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=True, IconFileName:= _ "iwb3.ico", IconIndex:=0, IconLabel:="" Set doc = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object End Sub Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58270

    - Organizing Macros Word 2003 I have too many macros in normal.dot. I'd like to split my macros into specific sets, and store each set in some new/different "Global template" so that I can select just one set to display using the "Macros In:" list in the "Macros" (Alt-F8) dialog. How do I create a new "global template" (or whatever convenient file to store a macro set in)? I don't want to store the macros in individual data (.doc) files. I use the term "Global Template" above because I obseve that Adobe Acrobat has, when installed, created its own global template with all of the macros that it has added to my instance of Word.

    - Copying the formatted text between two fields? I would like to take the formatted text between two fields and place it into another document. So far, writing something like this: theRangeSource = theFirstField.Result theRangeSource.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd) theRangeSource.End = theSecondField.Result.Start theRangeDestination.FormattedText = theRangeSource.FormattedText does *not* work correctly. I get bits of the field codes copied into the second document. I would either like all formatted text *between* the two fields, or all formatted text *including* the two fields placed into my second document (theRangeDestination). Note: I cannot use the application "Selection" as this is "unsafe" for the purposes of running my reporter in the background while people are possibly working with word in the foreground.

    - Updating autotext I have a variety of autotext entries. Unfortunately, we have to constantly revise and update these autotext entries back to the template (or even add new entries). It's hard to explain to others how to do this. So... here's my problem. I'd like to use VBA to create a menu that would walk people through the process (highlighting the correct text, automatically selecting the correct template, etc...). Has someone already done this? Right now, I was pondering having a button on the main menu (it's this whole big menu we have for inserting spec entries, not to worry about that part) that says "update entry", then when you click that button, the main menu is hidden while a msgbox pop up that says "highlight text".You would press okay to get rid of the message box, highlight the text, then... then... then I get a bit lost. I want it to then pull up the resident wdDialogEditAutoText dialog box, but and have it set automatically to the correct template (I think that will get rid of a lot of confusion) but don't know how to force the dialog box to set to a specific template in the "Look in" area. I also don't know how you would go from highlighting text to bringing up this dialog box. If you need clarification on what I'm trying to do, feel free to ask.

    - FilePrint Question Word 2000 I have the following subroutine: Sub FilePrint() Message = "FilePrint" PrintRecords End Sub My goal here is to have FilePrint run every time the document is printed, no matter how the user prints the document. When I select "Print" from the File menu, or use CTRL+P, I get the "FilePrint" message, indicating that the FilePrint routine ran. However, if I print by clicking the Print button on the toolbar, I get no message at all, but the document still prints, indicating that the FilePrint routine is not running when the Print button on the toolbar is used. Is there a way to intercept the print operation when the user clicks the Print button on the toolbar? I've searched in the VB Help and have come up empty. Currently, the only solution I can think of is to create a custom toolbar that is identical to the Standard toolbar, except that the Print button would call the FilePrint macro. -- Tom State of Montana Department of Justice Help Desk "Making the world a safer place."

    - Best way to check if doc exists? I know there are a couple of different ways to see if a document exists (before I throw an error trying to do something with it!), but I'm wondering if there is a "best" way - that is, one most likely to behave nicely in just about any routine I stick it into. The path will always be the same on any user's computer - with their username inserted, of course - so I could use that. I've done different things - some quite by accident - in other code: set an object to a doc that isn't there and trap the lack of an object name; try to open it and trap the error; and such like.

I hope I`m clear here. Thank you so much for your time, Tom Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58185

    - VBA-controlled mail preparation while using Word as mail editor In my Word VBA-application I would like to open Outlook with a partly prepared email that the user is expected to finish before sending it. However, this causes a problem when the user has chosen to use Word as the mail editor. Is there a simple way to temporarily cancel and then restore the users selection of editor? /BosseH Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58177

    - Links should update when you "Save As"? I have links of the form: { LINK MyClass.Image Document1 "_1159793036\\Spot 1" \a \t \* MERGEFORMAT } (for example). The document I created to hold the links was called "Document1". When I save the document as, say, "gianttestreport.doc" and then reload it, Word says I have links referring to other documents in my file. I assume its because it doesn't automatically change "Document1" in the links to refer to the current documents new name after saving. Is there any way around this?

    - XMLNodes in Headers & Footers Hi Iâ??m struggling to find the best way to update XMLNodes contained within a Word document header (or footer). I would have expected "document.SelectNodes(...)" to include nodes from the headers and footers but it doesnt. The only answer(ish) I've found is: foreach (Section sect in _doc.Sections) { foreach (HeaderFooter headfoot in sect.Headers) { if (headfoot.Range.XMLNodes.Count>0) { // headfoot.Range.XMLNodes.SelectNodes(...) } } foreach (HeaderFooter headfoot in sect.Footers) { if (headfoot.Range.XMLNodes.Count>0) { // headfoot.Range.XMLNodes.SelectNodes(...) } } } But (a) this seems a bit pants and (b) it doesnt seem to work anyway! Does anyone know how to do this the "official" way? Many thanks Jonathan Tag: VBA code or macro to list all settings in a Word template Tag: 58170

    - Footnote Revisions refusing to go away even with code... Sorry for cross-posting but I didn't know where else to post this and really need the help so here goes... I've got a VB6 app that creates Word docs utilizing mail-merge. When this app is run on machines with Office 2000 or earlier, the docs print out fine in "Final" view with all the revisions hidden. I use the following code to do this: WordApp.ActiveDocument.Revisions.AcceptAll ' WordApp is a Word.Application Object When this app runs on a machine with Office 2003, the docs print out with all the revisions hidden except for the ones in the footer of the document. I've burned two days already on this problem and am hoping to salvage today. Does anyone know what's causing this and is there a workaround? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance, Steve.

    - Find.Execute not found in text boxes I need to use the find method to search a document for a certain string. I have found that the search does not include text boxes and I need it to. On my PC (using Word 2000) if I create a text box and populate it with the word 'Hello' and then use the find function, it is found in the text box. If I use vba to find, it does not find it in the text box. Even if I record a macro of the successful manual find, when I play the macro the find is not found. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hello --

Does anyone know where I can find code or a macro to recap all the settings
I have made in a Word template (or, document) ?

I searched on "vba settings template" and found nothing.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Larry,

Haven't you posted this to another group, too? Anyway, Greg Chapman has
written a utility to list all option settings that you might find useful:
http://www.mousetrax.com/Downloads.html
(search down for "MouseTrax Word Options Utility")

There's much more that might have been set in a template (or document) such
as styles, page layout, macros, AutoText, AutoCorrect, toolbars, ...
I think some tips on those have been given in your other thread.

Regards,
Klaus
