    - 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: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word.

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - Error 462 problem. I've written an Access 2000 app which creates some Word documents.

    - 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 tried Exists, but that doesn't seem to work for documents. Any suggestions? Ed Tag: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word. Tag: 58190

The document I created to hold the links was called "Document1".

    - Adding a button to a Word Shortcut menu What I want to do: I want to add a button to the shortcut menu (context menu/rightclick menu) that appears when a user right-clicks on a piece of text. I want it to be compatible with word 2000 and up. I want to use Visual Basic .Net . So far I've started to fumble around with a shared add-in for a bit, but I have no idea if what I want is even possible nor how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

    - 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?

    - Can't access second excel addins after executing first in word. The word macro contains few lines as: CopySMS.Application.Run ("labgraph.xla! _ Shrink.ParallelShrink") 'makes a excel plot and copies Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, _ DataType:=wdPasteOLEObject, _ Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=2 CopySMS.Application.Run ("labgraph.xla!xlMain.CloseWorkbook") The problem is that it doesn't run the second addins and stops over there. But, if paste command is commented, it runs it. Somehow, this paste command is stopping the second addins to run. If anybody can help in this please. Thanks, Kislay Tag: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word. Tag: 58141

    - Events with Application Object Word 2003 The &%*$&*% Help files! I am trying to use events with the Application object. The Help page entitled "Using Events with the Application Object" has the following as the last step: *************** Initialize the Declared Object Before the procedure will run, you must connect the declared object in the class module (App in this example) with the Application object. You can do this with the following code from any module. Dim X As New EventClassModule Sub Register_Event_Handler() Set X.App = Word.Application End Sub Run the Register_Event_Handler procedure. After the procedure is run, the App object in the class module points to the Microsoft Word Application object, and the event procedures in the class module will run when the events occur. ************** I copied the above code into an ordinary module. 1. First of all, where do you really put the Dim statement? If you copy/paste the code as is, the Dim statement ends up above the dividing line, directly below the "End Sub" line of the previous procedure. This results in a Compile error. 2. To get things moving, I moved the Dim statement below the "Sub Register_Event_Handler()" line (i.e to the second line of the code). This results in the following error: "User-defined type not defined." (For your reference, the Help page that this leads to is reproduced below.) MY QUESTION: What steps do I need to take to resolve this error? Which (if any) of the three choices on the Help page, below, is most appropriate? Thanks very much. Jay **********Help page************************* User-defined type not defined You can create your own data types in Visual Basic, but they must be defined first in a Type...End Type statement or in a properly registered object library or type library. This error has the following causes and solutions: - You tried to declare a variable or argument with an undefined data type or you specified an unknown class or object name. Use the Type statement in a module to define a new data type. If you are trying to create a reference to a class, the class must be visible to the project. If you are referring to a class in your program, you must have a class module of the specified name in your project. Check the spelling of the type name or name of the object. - The type you want to declare is in another module but has been declared Private. Move the definition of the type to a standard module where it can be Public. - The type is a valid type, but the object library or type library in which it is defined isn't registered in Visual Basic. Display the References dialog box, and then select the appropriate object library or type library. For example, if you don't check the Data Access Object in the References dialog box, types like Database, Recordset, and TableDef aren't recognized and references to them in code cause this error. ************************ Tag: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word.

    - Find/Replace only supports alphabetic characters? I'm trying to do a find/replace by automating Word from a C# application. It works fine as long as my find/replace text is alphabetic. If I try to do a find/replace using a string such as "C#", I get an error: "The Find What text for a Find All Word Forms search can only contain alphabetic letters.". I tried enclosing the string in quotes, but that doesn't work either. That actually will cause the problem with text that otherwise works - it doesn't like the quotes either. Here's my code (this code highlights all instances of "text" in red/bold): Object oReplaceAll = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll; Object oText = text; Object oReplaceText = text; wordDoc.Select(); msWord.Selection.Find.Text = oText.ToString(); msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Text = oReplaceText.ToString(); msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Bold = 1; msWord.Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Color = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor.wdColorRed; msWord.Selection.Find.Execute(ref oText, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oFalse, ref oTrue, ref oTrue, ref oFalse, ref oTrue, ref oReplaceText, ref oReplaceAll, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); You can do what I want from within word itself - how do you call find/replace and allow non-alphabetic characters? - Dave Tag: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word.

    - Is VBA/Word slow...or is it just the way I did it? I have created what I believe to be a rather complex document/program in word (I believe there are over 13000 total lines of code). I have quite a few auto-text entries that either are, or contain graphics. The overall size of my Word Template (one I created specifically for this purpose, not Normal.doc) is quite close to 8 Megs. The document doesn't seem like it takes excessivly long to open, or for the first UserForm to appear as a reault of the AutoNew Macro which calls the form. It seems like it takes excessively long for 1) items to be transferred from the userform comboboxes and text boxes to the FormFields in the template, 2) the userForm to unload, and 3) the 2nd userform to load. Then it seems to take excessively long for the same things to occur with the 2nd userform. Tag: How do I create a calculated due date (from current date) in word. Tag: 58131

Use the DateAdd() function. Check it out in the Visual Basic Help file.
