    - Tab 'colors' for Multipage forms I have created several user forms with Multipage objects. I have a nice, soft 'background picture' to give texture to the multipage, but the picture does not run into the tabs. The result is a blotchy looking screen. Is there anyway to cause th tabs to look like the page without the page being a simple solid color? Thanks, Roy Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my . Tag: 56832

    - Word 2K Just Blinks When Printing I am using Word 2K on a W98 machine and have had it installed for years. It just started this problem. When I attempt to print, the border around the Word application blinks. It never prints and I have to end-task to force it to stop. This does not occur with all documents. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    - How to place text blocks from another program? I'm running Word from an MS Access app, iterating through a file of people and information on them, and formatting the Word doc as I go. No problem just plugging in names, addresses, comments as long as I start at the top and work down. What I'd like to do, however, is place a block of text on the left of the page that contains the person's mailing address - and then place another block of text on the right side of the page that contains the person's telephone numbers and email addresses. The two blocks would be of varying sizes/lengths for each person and different sizes/lengths between themselves. Each block is already formatted (line feeds and all) in the input recordset. Is there a way to do this without parsing each block into separate lines, counting the lines and then tabbing across the doc? I'm not looking for a total solution - just an idea of what's possible and maybe a few keywords to start searching on. -- PeteCresswell Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my .

    - Save As UserName Hi. Thanks for your reply, however, I'm not sure exactly what you are saying. I understand that the username on your example is "administrator" but how would I get that by using code? I'm new to this VBA stuff...

    - Bookmarks I am running word from access - using msoffice2000, winxp I have 22 docs with bookmarks in them. I need to fill in the bookmarks from my access app. Everything works as expected on 18 of the 22 files. The other 4 files cause all kinds of problems. I have set the recordset to just access these 4 files, wondering if I was over-taxing the whole system, but even if they are the only 4 files, they cause problems. Here are the problems. If I try to do all 22 files, I get the 18 files correct, then the app stops, everything is in 'not responding' and I have to shut it all down. If I try to do just the 4 rogue files, the routine that sets the bookmarks gets the 4 files in a recordset, opens them, skips over the portion of the routine that sets the bookmarks.text and closes them back up, this time without any 'not responding' system problems. I have checked the docs, and all bookmarks are actually present. Using debug.print, I see the routine set all 18 files but then it fails on the first of these 4 files. The debug.print suggests that the app is working on the files in an ascending alpha sort, and it does the good 18, and then crashes on the first of the 4 bad files, which is located in the middle of the alpha sort. I am dumbfounded at this action, but am wondering if I perhaps have four corrupted files. I thought I would beg some information before just jumping in and recreating these files. Is there something I can do about this short of recreating the files? Thanks for your expertise. I appreciate it a great deal. Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my .

    - Ready to give up... I have created 2 Word documents. Both have radio buttons and text boxes. In one I used VBA controls and the other I used Web Controls. Both are protected. I sent both to another computer as attachments. The operator at the other computer opened both attachments but cannot click on any of the radio buttons and have it register. He is uable to enter any text in the text box. In clicking on the text boxes and radio buttons the properties dialog box opens. What is going on? How difficult is it to create a user form and actually have it work? BTW I do not know if it makes a difference but my OS is XP and the other is W98. Mike C.

    - Printing to paper trays I have posted this problem to the PAge Layout forum but I first encountered it with VBA. I am having a problem with paper trays, re the following: - in a new document type some text, put in a next page section break and type some text on page 2 (section 2) - In File, Page Setup choose Tray One for first page and Tray Two for the other pages, making sure you've got apply to Whole Document seleceted - if you then print the document, both pages come from tray 1!!. If you look in File Page, Setup again it has first page from tray 1 and other pages from tray 2 for This Section, but if you change it to Whole Document no trays are selected. If seems to print the first page of each section from tray 1 and the rest of the pages from each each section from tray 2. As each section only has 1 page they all print from tray 1. Is this true and how do I get around it? This VBA code seems to do the same thing as manually changing the trays in Word: ActiveDocument.PageSetup.FirstPageTray =somecode working out tray ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OtherPagesTray = somecode working out tray Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my .

    - Help debugging code Using Word 2002 and 2003. Have a routine that loops through an array, builds up a string and then puts the string in the document. Occasionally this doesn't work properly and only part of the array appears in the document. The problem is that I can't just see any reason why this would be happening. I have dumped the array to a textfile to have a look at it, but it all looks normal or in any case no different from other arrays that appear in the document fine. The array is an 0-based 2D array with 4 or 5 columns and up to about 100 rows. It contains dates, numbers and strings. As I have no idea still what the problem is here I just post the full Sub in the hope that somebody has some suggestion as to where the problem could be. Leaving out the Exit Sub bits doesn't make a difference. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    - How to find the new document created by a mail-merge? Hi, I am splitting my document into several new documents (by section) and then performing a mail merge with each section (usually with different data sets). How do I find the document object that was created as a result of the mail merge? I can't find it in the original documents merge object anywhere. I can't assume it is the last document in the application documents collection, as the user may be doing other things with another word document while the merge is proceeding. Any hints about this?

Maybe an image .... «SECTION_END» How is it possible for me to create a range starting from the end of the section_start mergefield and end at the section_end merge field start? At present, I'm writing the following: Dim theRange As Word.Range theRange.Start = theFirstField.Result.End + 1 theRange.End = theSecondField.Result.Start - 1 However, it always seems that the range contains the second field code.

    - How do I remove a section break from a document? Hi, I'm trying to split my document up into new documents, one for each section in the original master document. To do this, I am more or less executing the following code: ' Create a new document. Dim theNewDocument As Word.Document = m_WordApplication.Documents.Add(Visible:=True) ' Add the new document to the list of documents we should keep track of. m_Sections.Add(theNewDocument) ' Get the current section. theSection = m_LoadedDocument.Sections.Item(Index + 1) ' Now copy the section into the new document. theRange = theSection.Range.FormattedText ' Copy across. theNewDocument.Range.FormattedText = theRange This is all well and good. Consider a master document with 2 sections. In this case, the second (last) section is cut and copied correctly into the new document, however, the first section when copied into the new document still contains the section break at the end of it. So I am having to write: ' Got more than one section? If theNewDocument.Sections.Count > 1 Then ' Somehow remove all section breaks from the document End If Any ideas on how to remove this section break?

    - Remembering Values Hi I have created a user form for memos and faxes. I would like to be able to remember the last 4 recipient details entered. Initially I thought of creating 4 documents, each with a name and job title bookmark, when i click button number 1 on my user form it would look in document1 read the bookmark values and pop them into the text boxes in the user form. If the user overtypes the text in the text boxes it rewrites the text in the bookmarks in the relevant document. I can't seem to find any mention of how to read bookmark values - do I need to use something else?? would autotext or a table or even excel be any easier for storing data.

    - MS Word objects list Word allows us to access to it's objects like tables (ole_object.application.activedocument.tables), paragraphs, sentences and other. But is there an object that keeps all the Word objects ((or) references to them) as they appear in the document.

If the Range or Selection object selects the whole table, how to get to know that it is the table?

    - Followup re Excel/Word OLE error I posted a query regarding an error described below. It was suggested by another to check the Excel & Word VBA references for any that were missing. The blank instances of each were fine but trying to check for my Excel/Word app is difficult as the client is long distance and I don't want to give them the password to unlock it. So I sent an unlocked copy of the app with code removed. My Office version is 2003 and theirs XP or 2002. When the client installed my app in the right directory it showed all the proper references, correctly showing MS Excel 10.0 Object Library and MS Office 10.0 Office Object Library. But it shows MS Word 11.0 Object Library (what was in the app send from my Office 2003 system) as Missing. Any ideas if that is clue to the problem or what it could be? Would the steps I took above be adequate to check the references or do I need to do it another way? Again, any help appreciated.

The user needs a section break after two words (Recommendations and Discussion - both bolded in TNR, 11 pt) in a document. These words may appear once or several times, but there needs to be a section break after each one. I was trying to create a macro, but I'm not sure what the code or character is for section break. I know the find character is ^b, but that doesn't work for replace. So, in a nutshell I need a way to find the two words and add a section break after each one. I thought about a bookmark after each one, and then finding the bookmark, but that sounds a tad too complicatd for something that seems so minor.

    - Word should allow access to view and work with codes like WordPer. Being able to access the codes makes working with WordPerfect... perfect. If Word had that option it would be Perfect, too. Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my . Tag: 56697

    - Formatting a form I have a form that I'm designing. It is a lesson plan for teaching. I have a table laid out and have each form field set (i.e. Date, Grade, etc). I am trying to make my table as "static" as possible, so that when entries the table is not resized. I've been doing this by simply setting the cell height to "exactly" X pt. First question is, is there a better way to fix the size of a cell, so that when a user is typing in the form it doesn't let them expand the table size? The next, more important question is somewhat related. I have a section with 3 columns: Time | Activity | Assessmen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (LINE A) 1:30 | Reading | Discussed topic in class | | .. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------(LINE B) the above is an example of a possible row entry in this section of my form. I have 10 rows of form entries for the Time, Activity and Assessment, each getting there own height of 14 pt, and predetermined width. The thing is, the entry for "Activity" could be more characters then the width of the column, causing a line break, but it wouldn't show up on the form because the cell height is fixed. And at the same time, I might not use all 10 rows of the entry, but the form field description still remains (i.e. "Enter Activity here"). My question is: The distance between LINE A and LINE B above needs to remain the same, and the width needs to remain the same, but I want the "interior" rows to be expandable. The number of entries can also change. So, is it possible to have a button or macro that creates the row entries one at a time as the user needs them, that way they could write a few lines if needed, and not impede on the next field. If that's not possible, is it possible to have the form field "description"'s that have not been entered on be removed, either by a macro, or some other setting. Well, thank you in advance, and if you got this far, thanks for actually reading the whole thing :-) Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my . Tag: 56696

    - Macro Needs to Close dialog box I recorded a macro to open a document, connect with the external database, merge to printer and then close the document. Two times during the running of the macro a dialog box pops up and requires my manual response by clicking the Yes or No button. Is there a command I can add to the VBA to have the code complete this task? One of the last lines of code is: ActiveWindow.Close which causes a dialog box to open asking if I want to save the changes to the document Yes/No. Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my .

    - new label sizes I want to print on labels which aren't in the list of labels sizes provided by Microsoft. I know how to insert a new size but I need to do this on multiple computers and do not want to have to do it manually on each computer. Does anyone know how I could do this? Maybe via a macro?

    - Missing Custom toolbars; path to custom template I have some custom toolbars and code routines that are in a custom.dot. I create the doc in code via objWord.Documents.Add Template:="c:\app path\templates\mytemplate.dot" I have users that need the toolbars etc elsewhere that store the dot file in c:\documents and settings\myprofile\application data\microsoft\templates right next to normal.dot. Most users see the toolbars when the doc is opened, but some users don't. I just can't figure out what drives it, why some users get to the proper dot and some don't. Any clues?

    - Word file to update Access DB when printing I have a word file (.doc) and a Access DB. What I want is that whenever the word file is printed, it will automatically update the database accordingly (the DB has a field that says LastPrintTime). Could this be done through VBA code in the word file? How? Thank you. Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my . Tag: 56675

    - Edit Word Document Comments using VBA I would like to be able to open a userform to edit the comments at the cursor positon (Selection) of my document. I know I can run through all of the Item(x) in the ActiveDocument.Item(x).Range.Text to get All the documents from my document one by one. But I would like to be able the find out which (Item number) is directly at my Selection point. I would like to use VBA code to edit comments in a user form instead of the usual comment window. I would like to run some VBA code to retreive the text portion of the comment, then edit it in a user form, then copy the edited comment back to the original comment. In case you wonder why I want to do this it is because when I am working with split windowpanes and open a comment to edit it, after closing the comment edit window my split pane will also disappear.

    - Fieldcodes/Bookmarks/Macros I am trying to create a document in word whereas when the document opens, prompt boxes will appear, asking the user a series of questions (such as, "Enter your address." Once the user answers the questions, the document will be filled in with their response. I once created a document in a word template like this and I can't remember how to do it. I know that I used a bookmark, then the ref field code to create my question (I am not sure if the bookmark or the fieldcode goes first) but once that is done, how do I use macros to automate the document. By automate, I mean, the questions will be asked as soon as the document open. The only thing I remember is that the document had an AutoNew button or something like that...help I was trying to use microsoft support but I can't figure it out. Thanks for your help.

    - Downloading Office Object library files Hello, I am a developer with an Excel/Word VBA application that in VBA uses the Microsoft Office Object Library, Word Object Library and the Excel Object Library. I am currently using Office 2003 but for purposes of of early-binding I want to be backward compatible with Office 2000 and Office XP. Does anyone know how or where I could download the needed object library files for those earlier versions of Office? I looked on the Office website under downloads but didn't see anything like that.

    - Adding To Trusted Publishers Through Certificate Authority and Sharepoint Hi All: This has elements of Office, Small Business Server and Sharepoint, so I'm going to post to all three groups in the hope of finding an answer. Our office runs Small Business Server 2003, and uses the included Sharepoint Companyweb as its intranet. As part of that, we have put our Word 2003 templates onto companyweb. Works slick....except that some of our templates have a VBA program, running as a macro, that is blocked whenever Word is in High Security for macro's. We could go to Medium security, but it's a pain for users to click on enabling all the time, or we could go to low security (which I won't do for obvious reasons). My question is how, if at all, I can certify the macro or the Sharepoint site so that individual users can leave settings on High security, and still run this particular macro. Can it be done with our SBS box as a Certification Authority, or am I going to have to go third party? Is third party the only way to add someone to Trusted Publishers for Word? Yes, I know that selfcert can solve this, but as I understand, it has to be run on each individual workstation, and I'd rather not have to go through all of it. Perhaps Group Policy has a setting that will allow this? Any and all suggested solutions would be welcome. Craig Zawada Tag: How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my .

Hi! Trying to create a form of macro to put my pathnames of documents in the
footer. Each time I get something created and email the document out the end
user gets the pathname as either a code or in their temporary internet
folder. Is there a way to put a pathname on a document so that it is forced
to stay there when emailled (other than manually typing!!!).

Hope someone can help!

After having updated the field with the desired value, select it and do
CTRL-F11, this will lock the field (the content will not change anymore). If
at a later date you want to re-update the field, select it again and do
CTRL-SHIFT-F11 to unlock it.

Salut!
