    - Parsing text from a word doc by keywords to an Oracle table I have text doc that I want to parse out certain data in to an oracle table. What I would like to do is search the doc by keyword, then grab all text between the keywords and update a column in a table. Below is sample of what the text doc would look like. The keywords I am looking for are: -Project Number -Title -Market Segment(s) -Product Segment(s) -Product(s) -Description Text Doc Example: Project Number B1F0050 TitleTREATMENT OF FINANCE CHARGE DEBIT ADJUSTMENTS Market Segment(s)CREDIT Product Segment(s)CUSTOMER CORRESPONDENCE OMAHA MERCHANT/DEBIT USAGE, RETENTION & MARKETING Product(s)INFOSIGHT (NOAH) LEGAL/REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ONLINE PCF CARDHOLDER POSTING & MASTERFILE STATEMENTS MONETARIES DescriptionFinance charge debit adjustments that are manually entered will be identified and treated as finance charges to comply with Regulation Z. Currently, manual debit adjustments post as sales. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. I would need help with the code that loops through the text doc, grabs the text between keywords and the code to connect to and update the oracle table. Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40705

    - Word Form Hi Request some help in automating a form in word. I need to create form which would be sent as an email to users. This form would accept numerical data in combo boxes from the users. Then average result needs to be calculated and stored in a hidden field in the form, which could be viewed by me when the users update the form and send it to me. I am able to put the combo fields using the forms menu. I am not able to calculate the average of the inputed fields and hide the same. Any advice, appreciated. Thanking you. PR.

    - preview autotext entry in RTF-Control Hello everybody, I guess, you know Word's build-in autotext dialog that lets the user add, delete and insert text modules. This dialog has a preview of the selected autotext that can show the format of the text, too. In a user form, I would like to make this feature available as well. I put a rich text box (RICHTX32.OCX) on my form in that I would like to load the selected autotext into. Unfortunately this does not work: RTB_Preview.TextRTF = _ ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries( _ "myAutotext").Value The .Value-Property just returns the autotext without any formating informations. Any suggestions how to get the RTF data stream would be very appreciated. Regards Daniel -- daniel@bolege.de http://www.bolege.de Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40694

    - Word automation/VB.NET VB.NET and automation of Word XP. I am doing Find/Replace on a large document. Because of the nature of how this document is built, I want to limit the Find/Replace to the last two pages of a document. Someone kindly gave me this code: 'Dim iP As Integer 'Dim sP As String 'Dim rR As Range 'rR = Selection.Range 'iP = ActiveDocument.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages) 'sP = Trim(Str(iP - 1)) 'Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:=sP 'rR.Start = Selection.Start 'rR.End = ActiveDocument.Content.End 'rR.Select() 'With rR.Find ' .Text = "i" ' .Replacement.Text = "#" ' .Wrap = wdFindStop ' rR.Find.Execute(Replace:=wdReplaceAll) 'End With The problem I am having is that this is written to run in VBA behind a Word doc ("Active Document", "Selection", etc). So I thought I could just tweak it to run in VB.NET using a Word document object. The Selection object is where I am having problems. I think I need to create a Selection object (dim oSelection as selection) and then set that object variable equal something. I dont want the whole document, do I? Or do I? And if so, how do I do that? oDoc is my Word doc object. It has no .Selection property. So I am confused on how to get this code to run in VB.NET. Can anyone advise? Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40692

    - Word 2002 >> Method oDocument.close >> crash I posted this yesterday to microsoft.public.word, but this seems to be the better place ( sorry for cross posting ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi I wrote some VBA script for Word templates. It works on W97 and W2000 without any problems but W2002 seems to have a real bug. I traced down the problem and found that closing a previous opened Document crashes Word 2002. You can try the following script in Normal.dot: Sub AutoNew() set oTemplate = Documents.Open("C:/test.doc", ReadOnly:=True, Revert:=False) MsgBox "try to close document test.doc..." oTemplate.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotDaveChanges End and here how to produce the crash: - create an empty word document under c:\ and name it "test.doc" - open Word 2002 - File >> New >> general templates >> blank document - you will see the message box "try to close document test.doc..." - click ok and Word 2002 will crash things to mention: - if I choose "Recover my work and restart Microsoft Word" Word starts by itself and now creating new Documents works perfectly - create a new Document with <ctrl> - n doesn't crash at all (strange..) - I'm not sure, if there could be some problems caused by McAffe. I did turn off all scannings first and after that I removed the Antivirus Package. But I still have the same crashes. It might be possible, that McAffe has altered some dll's or important registry entries I'm very happy to get some feedback. Somebody faces the same problem?

    - Re-size specific images in a doc I'm trying to write a macro that would search through all the images in a document, check if they have a specific width (> than 6", let's say), and re-size them to a width of 6", while the height changes proportionally. In other words, fix the figures that spill over the page margins. I also have other figures in the document (that have a size<6") that I don't want to touch. Can this be made? Thanks for any help.

In the event that the text in one of the unprotected sections is accidently deleted, I've written a macro to replace the text and tag it with some required character and paragraph styles.

    - Word VBA Problem Hello I've been maintaining a set of Word VBA macros for a few years at the office, and have a routine which prints the current document to a pre-set printer and tray(s). The pre-sets have been saved in the Registry, so the routine pulls these out and uses them to reset the ActivePrinter, print the document and then reset the ActivePrinter from saved data. This works fine for Word 97 (on Win 98 & 2000) and Word 2000 (Win2000 & XP). Word 2002 (Win XP) crashes completely (not just a VBA error, but Word itself) when it reaches the line which alters the DefaultTray to the saved setting. I have pasted the essential elements of the routine below. I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me why this is happening with the "new and improved" Word, when the old versions work quite happily with it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    - Can VBA in Office v.x do interprocess communication? I am in the process of designing a solution for the following requirement: We need to allow users to create a "template" in word (not necessary a word template, but a word document that will be used to create other word documents via parsing). The template will be dynamically populated with data from the active document in our application which is running in another process. The solution must work on PC and Mac. On Windows, the obvious route is to use COM to pull data from our app into VBA and then push it into the template. My question is this: is there any equivalent to that using VBA in Mac Office v.x? Does Apple Script provide the same capability as COM does on windows? I'm pretty new to Mac development, so pardon my ignorance. Other solutions we are considering are using RTF and writing our own parser/template engine...not sure which would be easier. Any feedback would be extrement appreciated.

    - styling references using wildcards/find-replace I am trying to style references with macros/wildcards, using the find/replace function, like 140 Vogler BK, Pittler MH, Ernst E. Feverfew as a preventive treatment for migraine: a systematic review. -Cephalagia- 1998; *18:* 704?08. I managed to bold the volume numbers, since nowhere else in references there are digits followed by a colon. However, I don't know how to specify the place where the publications sit: they are followed by the publication date, and the semi-colon, but the space before is not specific enough (there are many other occurrences of a full stop followed by a space), so that any find/replace function I created selected more text than I wanted.

    - DocumentOpen event does not run We use a DocumentOpen event procedure to carry out a set of checks/actions whenever a document is opened. This works fine, as a rule. But if in a Word session any other procedure is stopped for whatever reason (this seems to be one of the reasons we 'lose' it but there may be others), after that the event procedure does not kick in until Word is restarted, unless the application object is re-initialised. But no error/message is displayed to hint that anything gone wrong. Can duplicate the 'error' by stepping through and stopping any procedure. After doing so the event procedure doesn't run. Is there a way to stop this happening, or to automatically re-initialise the application object if it does? Any help appreciated. Caroline Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40639

    - ! Referencing Bookmarks from Code ! Hi, I have set up bookmarks and other merged fields in a word DOT file and want to use code to perform some calculations to populate certain bookmarked fields. I was wondering if it was possible to reference a bookmark from a Word doc, and if so, how it is written? E.g. The GrossAmount is the bookmark in Word. And the Datafields "Dollar1/2/3" are referencing "Documents ("filename.DOT").mailmerge.datasource" GrossAmount = .DataFields("Dollar1").Value _ + .DataFields("Dollar2").Value _ + .DataFields("Dollar3").Value If there is a way to reference bookmarks, which event do I put this in so that Word knows when to sum it after the fields have been merged (because prior to merge, there is no data there for it to sum).

    - Opening Excel Workbook from Word using VBA - Always Read Only Hi All, I wasn't sure whether this should be a Word or Excel query so I have cross-posted. Apologies if anyone objects!

    - format problems when cut/paste on letterhead doc I have a "letterhead" document (not a template) which I use to create letters by copying and pasting the body of the letter onto it. With the exception of the letterhead portion, it is blank until I copy/paste the body or substance of the letter onto it. But when I do so, the part that I copied requires alot of cleaning up: incorrect font, messed up paragraphs, spacing, bold, margins, etc. Can anyone help me so that when I copy onto my letterhead, it will not require all this cleaning up?

    - Bring Word to the front (ZOrder 0) Hi, I have an application which outputs RTF files to Word, which in turn runs a macro on the open document. The problem is sometimes Word does not open in the foreground, I need to manually select it in the task bar to bring it to the front. How can I bring the active window in Word to the foreground (using VBA). I've tried using the Activate method on the document's window but it only makes it the active window in Word, it does not bring it to the foreground. I've looked at the SetWindowPos API call but I need to pass it the hwnd of the active window, something which to my knowledge VBA does not provide for. I am using Word 2000/2002 on Windows 2000.

    - Invoke a macro using the last-typed word as a macro name? I've previously asked about using an AutoCorrect entry to open a UserForm or invoke some code. I have a feeling that this may not be possible, but have an idea that would simulate it. Could someone please sketch out the code for: As I'm typing a document, instead of typing the next word in the sentence, I type the name of a macro. After the last character of the macro name I just typed, I press a function key, or an Alt+SomeLetter combination. At that time, Word deletes the previously-typed macro name from the document and invokes a macro having the same name as the previously-typed-but-now-erased word.

    - Can I "Get *this* table and put *here*"? I hope I can word this intelligently. I get a range from an Excel spreadsheet and paste it as a table into Word. The Word table is then broken into several smaller tables, based on a code group in the last column - this is saved as its own document. Could be anywhere from 20-40 smaller tables, each of which needs to go in its corresponding place in a report. There are actually about a hundred possible code groups. Is there any way I can write some code for the report that will: (A) find the code group mentioned in the paragraph preceeding the table's place, (B) open the document with the tables, find the right one, and paste it in, and (C) automatically update the report upon opening with the latest saved tables?

    - Can an Autocorrect entry open a Userform or run VB code? I have a situation in which the use of AutoCorrect entries are a great advantage in typing reports. It would be even more useful if an AutoCorrect entry could open a UserForm and data entered in that form could be inserted into the document. Is that possible? Could anyone supply, or tell me where to find some code to do that? TIA Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40591

    - Mail Merge I have a HP9000 with a saddle stich option which allows me to make booklets. The limitation for a booklet is 40 pages. Currently I have a 36 page booklet that I wish to use in a mail merge for 20 unique people. When the mail merge is complete I end up with a document of 720 pages (36 x 20). Now my printer will not make the booklets because it thinks there are too many pages. How can I do a mail merge like this and instruct the printer to start a booklet after each 36th page?? Help.

    - Merging two cells into one I have a short macro that selects the current cell of a table, and the one below it, and merges them both into one cell: Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Cells.Merge However this macro does not work when the current cell contains text of more than one line (because of the 'Unit:=wdLine' bit, presumably). Is there a parameter I can use instead of wdLine? It does not seem to accept wdParagraph or wdTableCell or anything like that... Steve Wylie Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40586

    - How do I use a custom function? This should be a simple but I cannot find the answer anywhere in the help index. I've created my own VB function in Word 2000 that converts a number to text. For example, if a cell in a table holds the number 1,234.56 it will return One thousand two hundred and thrty four pounds 56 pence. It's called F_AmountInWords. But I can work out how to use it in a cell. I've tried inserting a field with the field code = AmountInWords (RIGHT) \* MERGEFORMAT But it just returns "!Syntax Error,(." I gather this is because the = function only uses built in function, but how do I call one from Module1. Many thanks, Mark Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40561

    - AutoText retrieval. I want to create a VBA routine to attach to a Word XP toolbar button which when selected will display the AutoText entries relating only to the template attached to the new active document. At present I am using SendKeys in the following way to achieve the desired result but am thinking that there must be a better method of doing this: SendKeys "%iax" & "%l" & "LTSB Tender" & "{Enter}" & "{Tab}" & "{Enter}", True This simulates the reader selecting Insert|AutoText|AutoText, going to the "Look in" field and then typing "LTSB etc" to select the appropriate template and then completing the operation of tabbing to the OK button and selecting it. Crude, I know. But it works. Any new results I apply will also have to Work in Word 97 as some users are still on that version. Could anyone help with this challenge, please?

    - First Line Prints Twice Howdy, Where I work, we have a problem printing to envelope printers. So we use the code below to allow the user to select the address in the letter and with macro tell Word to just print to the envelope without first checking to see if there is an envelope printer present. Sub BobEnvelopePrinter() ' ' Written by Bob Application.ScreenUpdating = False With activedocument.Bookmarks .Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="EnvelopeAddress" .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = False End With Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory activedocument.Envelope.Insert Size:="Size 10" activedocument.Envelope.FeedSource = wdPrinterEnvelopeFeed activedocument.Envelope.PrintOut ExtractAddress:=True, OmitReturnAddress _ :=False, PrintBarCode:=True, FeedSource:=True, Size:="Size 10", _ ReturnAddress:="", AddressFromLeft:=100, _ AddressFromTop:=100, ReturnAddressFromLeft:=wdAutoPosition, _ ReturnAddressFromTop:=wdAutoPosition, DefaultOrientation:=wdLeftLandscape _ , DefaultFaceUp:=True activedocument.Sections.First.Range.Delete Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Application.ScreenUpdating = True Beep End Sub Now we are experiencing a new problem as we are testing a new image that is comprised of Windows 2000 running Office 2000. Now when we use that code above, it prints the first line of the address twice Once at the top of the address of the envelope and once at the bottom of the address of the envelope. I.E Ralph Cramden 1 Bonnie Meadow Road Portland ME 04112 Ralph Cramden I ran the code above and stopped it just before printing the envelope. The code properly creates a fresh section at the top of the document and formats the paper of that new section to be an envelope. However when the "PrintOut' command runs, the problem we see above appears on the printed envelope. The first line prints twice. We did not have this problem running Windows NT 4 with Office 97. When we run Windows 2000 with Office 2000 SP1 one of the testers always gets this lousey result. The other tester experiences the double printing sporatically and we are still looking for a pattern regarding when it occurs with the second tester. We use PCL 5 and tried printing to a HP8000 and an HP8150 and got the same result. So we are at a loss as to what would/could be the cause and how to fix it . Any insights on this would be appreciated. If you with to reach me directly, my address is at @juno.com with the username bobmeister2 Bob T. Tag: copy styles macro Tag: 40558

Hello,

We use Word 2000. I need to create a macro that will copy
all the styles from a template to the ActiveDocument. I
can create a dialog box where the user can specify which
template, but I don't know how to copy all the styles from
that template to the ActiveDocument. When I just record
the keystrokes, it does each style individually. And Help
shows only how to do it individually. I want to copy all
of the styles as a group to the Activedocument. Is this
possible?

Thank you in advance.

G'day "Mary" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>,

I worked around this by having macros that define my style sets for
me. Its a "user-implemented" style gallery. I dont copy, I set ;-)

You could iterate every present style in the source document and then
set it in the target.
