    - Problem with previous post re: individual footers for each copy ma I asked the question Friday if I could create a macro that would print 3 copies of a one page document with each copy having different footer text. Greg instructed me on the macro and it worked great. The problem I am having is that the document has form fields in it, and when the document form field are protected and the macro is run I get an error with no text. I assume it's because of the protection. How can I avoid the error from appearing while still having the document protected? Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66543

    - Bookmark Hi, Each paragraph in my document is a bookmark: Paragraph 1 = bm1 Paragraph 2 = bm2 Paragraph 3 = bm3 ... The user can delete paragraph. This mean that paragraph numer 4 not necessarily means bm4. It could be bm2. When I click a button, I want the macro to show me in which bookmark I clicked in and show a messagebox that correspond with that bookmark. How is this done? / Ulf Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66531

    - Syntax doubt - Find and Replace Hi, Some time back I had a requirement where I had to REPLACE some text in EACH PAGE of the MAIN STORY IN MS Word. The text was of the form -- Page 83 -- or -- Page 62-- and so on and the replacement text was the related to the actual word page number. The below macro I got from NG for this purpose works great. Only change is that previously I had to find and replace text with 2 digit numbers following "Page ". But now I want to be able to replace 3 digit numbers also. I have tried changing the syntax -- .Text = "Page [0-9]{1,2}" -- to -- .Text = "Page [0-9]{1,2,3}" -- thinking that this would extend the search to one more character, but Im getting -- Runtime error '5560': The find what text contains a pattern match expression which is not valid.-- and the above error occurs at the -- .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll--. Strangely if I change it to .Text = "Page [0-9]{3}" -- then am able to get it working (that is am able to search for -- Page 768 -- and replace it with the desired text). Why is it that .Text = "Page [0-9]{1,2}" works well for finding -- Page 83 -- or -- Page 62-- but .Text = "Page [0-9]{1,2,3}" -- gives syntax error. Isnt the number within the squiggly bracket meant to indicate the extent of the search?

    - How do I create text that if you type within it it will be repaced Hi guys, I'm trying to create a word docment with a series of "blank" areas in it. At present they just have pink writing within them. I am looking now at being able to label these blank areas. I.E what powerpoint does with its faded text when you insert a text box. So that it will say for example "Insert Date here" then when a user puts the date in it will remove the string of text and replace it with what ever has been typed. Anythoughts would be greatly appriciated. cheers, steve Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66525

    - new document counter: how to change? Hello, I want to change default name for new document (like "Doc1", "Doc2", ... in Polish and German version it is "Dokument1", "Dokument2"). Is it possible? I need it, because my VBA application creates one "hidden" document for each newly created document. So, user creates first document ("Dokument1") and one hidden, linked to first one, is created (not visible, but it uses name "Dokument2"). Then, user closes document ("Dokument1") - automatically hidden document ("Dokument2") is closed - and creates second one. He is suprised, that its name is "Dokument3" (should be "Dokument2"). Is there any property to set counter of documents? Regards, Tomasz Swedrowski Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66510

    - AutoText fields inserting as static text Program: Word 2003 Not sure how to describe this correctly, but when one of our users inserts an AutoText entry that contains a field code, such as Filename and Path or a date field, Word is inserting the *text* of the code, i.e. _ FILENAME \p _ (except there are boxes instead of "_"). I've made sure the user's language is set to English, but I'm not sure where else to begin with this problem. It's as though Word is not inserting the brackets enclosing the code, or it's automatically unlinking the field. Where the brackets should be enclosing the code, there are the boxes Word usually inserts for characters not included in a font set. So the code for pathnames and dates are inserted but not a working field code. Where the pathname should be, you just see the pathname code text in the document and that's how it prints (even when unchecking any options that cause the field code to print or be viewed in the document). I'm at a loss and am hoping for a resolution other than reinstallation. OTOH, the user *can* insert both the date field and pathname via Insert -> Field.

    - Missing reference - Word Template - but it's there I have fixed this problem but I'd like to know why it happened. Here goes: I created a document that contains a macro that basically merges the document with a .TXT file. I transferred (if that's the right word) into a new template called "projectabstract.dot". I sent the document to other users along with instructions to save projectabstract.dot into the subdirectory where their other templates were (found by Tools, Options, File Locations). Most of the users did everything right and the macro ran fine. Then I needed to edit the document and the macro and send it out again. This time, some users (all Word97 users) got the message "Compile error: Can't find project or library". When I got them to stop the macro and go to Tools, References, it showed that the projectabstract.dot template file was MISSING. BUT it wasn't. It was in the same place that it had been (I got them to check). They unchecked the missing reference, saved the document and now the macro runs fine. BUT why did it say that the template itself was missing, which was wrong? I'm pretty sure that I sent them another copy of the template and told them to save it again, overwriting the one that was already there. The users I was working with are pretty savvy and usually follow the directions they are given. But if they hadn't replaced projectabstract.dot, could that have made the difference? We will probably be doing other things like this (i.e. one person creates a document/macro and sends it to other users) so I'd like to know which pitfall I fell into. Many thanks. Carol.

    - Problem creating Attribute on XMLNode Hi, I'm trying to write some C# code that automates Word to do the following: - Open a document - Attach my custom schema - Search the document for some specific text - When I find the text, create an XML Node that includes an attribute - Save the document in XML format First off, I'm a total rookie at this. But here's a bit of the code I wrote: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { object sTokenPattern = "\\<%[A-Za-z.0-9]@%\\>"; object sReplace = ""; object wrap = Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindStop; Word.WdSeekView[] locations = { Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader, Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageFooter, Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument }; wordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView; for (int x=0; x < locations.Length; x++) { wordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = locations[x]; bool bFound = true; while (bFound) { bFound = wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute( ref sTokenPattern, // FindText ref bFalse, // MatchCase ref bFalse, // MatchWholeWord ref bTrue, // MatchWildcards ref bFalse, // MatchSoundsLike ref bFalse, // MatchAllWordForms ref bTrue, // Forward ref wrap, // Wrap ref bFalse, // Format ref sReplace, // ReplaceWith ref none, // Replace ref bFalse, // MatchKashida ref bFalse, // MatchDiacritics ref bFalse, // MatchAlefHamza ref bTrue); // MatchControl if (bFound) { String sValue = wordApp.Selection.Text; object ch = Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter; object one = 1; object range = wordApp.Selection.Range; Word.XMLNode tokenNode = wordApp.ActiveDocument.XMLNodes.Add("Token", (string)FCINS, ref range); Word.XMLNode nameAttr = tokenNode.Attributes.Add("tokenName", "", ref missing); nameAttr.NodeValue = sValue; wordApp.Selection.MoveRight(ref ch, ref one, ref bFalse); } } } Now here's my problem. When the location is the main document, everything works fine. But when the location is either the header or the footer, I end up losing my attribute. That is, the code seems to execute just fine, but after saving the document and inspecting the XML, only the nodes that were created in the main document have their attributes. Here's some sample... main doc - <ns0:Token name="<%Common.DisplayName%>"> <w:r> <w:t><%Common.DisplayName%></w:t> </w:r> </ns0:Token> header - <ns0:Token> <== NOTICE MY NAME ATTRIBUTE IS MISSING <w:r> <w:t><%CurrentUser.Name%></w:t> </w:r> </ns0:Token> Am I way off base here?

Our users "apply a signature to the document" by clicking a little macro button that does [essentially] this: Dim objYouWereHere as Range Set objYouWereHere = Selection.Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Physically move to the "last page" Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'Position the signature textbox With ActiveDocument.Shapes("SignatureBox") .Top = 536 .Left = 231 End With 'Return my user to wherever they were prior to running the macro objYouWereHere.Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True I'm not well versed enough in word/vba to know the answer to this; but is it possible to programatically define the last page (maybe as a range?) in such a way that I could insert a shape onto it at an x, y coordinate relative to that page **without** having to move the selection? With the above methodology, the user does end up at wherever they were prior to running the macro, but the objYouWereHere.Select call can sometimes leave them at a new vertical scroll position and it's a little disorienting for them. So, before I go hunting down how to store & retreive the vertical scroll position (similar to how I store and retrieve the selection pre & post textbox adjustment)... is there a more "elegant" way to do this that doesn't require I move the selection at all? Insert shape at x, y on page n, without involving the Selection? Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66370

    - Command Button and Lock I need information on how to add a CommandButton to Word2000 and have it be able to email that form back to the client with a set email address. I would also need to lock that form also. It does not allow me to lock the word document if I put in a CommandButton. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66369

    - Copy formfield value from one file to another I have two template files. The first one uses userforms to fill out fields in the template. Once this form is filled out, another template is opened (depending on user input). This second template also has userforms. The two documents have four fields in common. How can I get the values of these fields on the second form without the user having to enter them again? Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66366

    - Picture opening as a doc?????????????? I don't even know how to search on this one! I'm quite confused. Following is a code snippit. It has opened a template and updated some doc variables and name then saves it. The template contains a picture. When I insert the "oDoc.SaveAs strDocName"... word opens up to a window for editing the picture (on top), and a window for the new doc. Prior to adding the save, only one window would open and it was for the new doc. HELP!! Thanks! With oApp .Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = ROOT_PATH & strSavDir .Selection.Goto wdGoToBookmark, Name:="WrittenBy" .Selection.Text = Author .Selection.Goto wdGoToBookmark, Name:="StartHere" oDoc.SaveAs strDocName .Visible = True End With Tag: big corner red X in Word Tag: 66363

Make the big red X close all windows like it used to.
