    - Change Bookmarked Text - Keep Bookmark? As a complete VBA novice, I want to overwrite some Bookmarked text with specific AutoText and retain the Bookmark (so I can repeat this Macro if/when rqrd). I have manged so far to generate the following simple code: Sub CHOOSE_TEXT() ' ' SLT Macro ' Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="LTXT" Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With With ActiveDocument If .FormFields("Dropdown1").Result = "Specification No." Then Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("SLT").Insert Where:=Selection.Range, _ RichText:=True Else Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("QLT").Insert Where:=Selection.Range, _ RichText:=True End If End With End Sub The above Macro is run on exit from a dropdown box in a form within an earlier protected section of the document. UNFORTUNATELY if the Bookmark "LTXT" is text then the macro only works once as it obliterates the Bookmark along with the text. IF the bookmark "LTXT" is just a position within the document then the macro will happily re-run - BUT it doesn't replace text (it just pushes it down the document, which is not acceptable). CAN ANYONE HELP, PLEASE? Rgds, RPJ Tag: data validation Tag: 93240

    - Excel 2003 VBA: Import Numerical Data from .rtf File into .xlS Fi I have been able to do this, using both late and early binding, when my machine is "logged-on" to our network. However, I also need to do this when my machine is "logged-off"; neither early nor late binding is working -- the primary data file becomes "locked for editing" by the network. (The VBA code is in a .xlA file stored on my hard drive; a Scheduled Task opens this file at a specified time each day.) The Scheduled Task fires, but becomes locked in "Running" mode. We are running Office 2003 and Windows XP Pro. Below is my early binding code procedure: Public Sub Import_From_WORD_Tables() Dim objWord As Word.Application Dim objDoc As Word.Document Dim wordvalue As Variant Dim j As Integer Dim lngErrNo As Long Dim strErrSrc As String Dim strErrDesc As String On Error GoTo PROC_ERR Application.DisplayAlerts = False PrimaryDataWB.Activate '<<== this is my primary data file; stored on my hard drive Set objWord = New Word.Application objWord.Visible = False Set objDoc = Documents.Open(myPathBATCH & "T and A.rtf") 'the above file is stored on my hard drive objDoc.Activate 'For "Rows" 1 - 8 in Table 1 For j = 1 To 8 wordvalue = objDoc.Tables(1).Columns(4).Cells(j + 2) ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(3).Cells(j + 17, 11) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Clean(wordvalue) Next j objDoc.Close objWord.Quit Set objDoc = Nothing Set objWord = Nothing Exit Sub PROC_ERR: lngErrNo = Err.Number strErrSrc = "->ADJUSTMENT_TEST()->" & Err.Source strErrDesc = Err.Description 'Disable error handling On Error GoTo 0 Err.Raise lngErrNo, strErrSrc, strErrDesc End Sub I have been able to determine that the macro crashes at the 'Set objWord = ...' statement above. Since I am running this logged-off, the above error trapping is doing nothing for me. Any ideas? TIA, I appreciate your help. Tag: data validation Tag: 93226

    - Troubleshooting Excel in Word I've created a couple of documents with Excel spreasheets inserted in either/or Word Table Cells or in Text Boxes. On several occassions in the past several weeks since I've created these documents/forms, several of the Excel Spreadsheets have appeared to have changed, on their own, to a picture. The reason I've inserted the Excel spreadsheets into the Word Docs instead of doing it all in Tables is because of the various formulas that can come into play. But I need the versatility of spacing around on the page that I can get with Word that is not available in Excel, on it's own. First, is there a way to get these 'pictures' back to an Excel Spreadsheet. Then, is there a way to keep this problem from continuing to happen? Thanks. Tag: data validation Tag: 93222

    - Radio button to Check Box in Active Document? I guess this is a two part question. 1. Is it possible to send a radio button value (true/false) to a checkbox in the active document? If so....How? I've got a field of radio buttons (which will become check boxes if this simply isn't possible, but I'd rather use radio buttons) in my user form and I've got matching check boxes in the active document. I"m trying to get the code to work so that if a radio button is checked, the check box in the active document is also checked. So far I have this, but it's doing nothing at all: With ActiveDocument If radLLC.Value = True Then .FormFields("chkLLC").Value = True Else End If End With Tag: data validation Tag: 93221

    - Formatting special characters within a module for a Word Mail merge. All, I am having problems with a field that I am exporting to a Microsoft Word Mail merge. Basically the gist of the module is it loops through a database table and finds all residents who live at a specific address and then exports each name, that it encounters to a string ie: [name] vbCrLf [Name] vbCrLf {etc}, (you can find the code below). So far so good . However I am encountering a problem once the field is formatted in Word using align center, the first name in the spring is justified right, and each successive names in the string are justified center. I?ve tried adding vbCrLf prior to the first name, however, I am still getting the same formatting problem. I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with this problem. Thanks in advance. - CES Do While Not .EOF If strTmp = .Fields("aStreetNum") & .Fields("aStreetName") & .Fields("aAptNum") & .Fields("aZip") Then If x > 0 Then strToReturn = strToReturn & vbCrLf End If If .Fields("cFName") <> "" Then name = .Fields("cFName") & " " End If If .Fields("cMName") <> "" Then name = name & .Fields("cMName") & " " End If If .Fields("cLName") <> "" Then name = name & .Fields("cLName") & " " End If strToReturn = strToReturn & name x = x + 1 End If .MoveNext Loop Tag: data validation Tag: 93218

    - Insert String Based on Combo Box Result Newbie alert! I've got 2 form fields: Dropdown1 & Text1. I want to populate Text1 based on what the user selects in the Dropdown1 field. The text is loaded in 8 strings, myText1, myText2... myText8. So if the user selects "1" from the dropdown, Text1 is populated by the value of the myText1 string, if the user selects "2", populate Text1 with the value of myText2 string, etc. I'm trying to avoid using 8 different If...Then statementrs by using a For...Next loop. The problem I'm having is identifying each string. How can I use the For...Next counter to use the corresponding string? (i.e. If I use "For i = 1 to 8", when i=3 how do use myText3) Here's my macro: Public Sub Text1Update() Dim myText1, myText2, myText3, myText4, myText5, myText6, myText7, myText8 As String myText1 = "Your request did not include a signed and dated form." myText2 = "Your request did not include the date." myText3 = "The additional information requested has not been received, therefore we must close our files. If submitted we will reconsider the request." myText4 = "Reads the same as E3 there is obviously a problemâ?¦" myText5 = "The request did not include an ID number, please include this on form." myText6 = "The receipt(s) submitted were less than the amount requested on your form." myText7 = "An itemized bill from your service provider showing the name and address, customer name, itemized charges, type of service, service code and date of service." myText8 = "Incomplete statement received.

    - Using VBA to SUM 3 columns in a Word Table I have a Word Table in my Active Document that I'd like to SUM using a cmdCalculateTotal button on a form. Can somone please tell me how to approach this -- for example -- how would I write the VBA code to calculate Cells C3:C16 of the table? The Range of the calculated area is subject to change (depending on the choices the user makes (selecting checkboxes and radio buttons), so it seems that I would need to calculate the range of the column (after all selections have been made, and ADD a Summary Row to the table to calculate the values. I'm just not sure the easiest way to approach this NOTE: I'm trying to approach this project in blocks -- I'm still working on the issue of getting the table values (selected by the user) to populate in the Active Document -- I'm close, but not there yet -- Summing the values would be the next step. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Shane Tag: data validation Tag: 93190

    - Identify and mark numbers at the beginning of paragraphs - but not headings Hi group, my problem (Word 2003): I have to identify all numbers that are at the beginning of a paragraph in a word document but are *not* headings and put a marker (like "xyzxyz") in front of the number (to prevent that any numeric character that does not belong to a heading will ever stand at the beginning of a paragraph; this is important for further scripting/conversion in this case). Headings (which shall *not* get a marker) are numbered 1., 1.1, 1.2, 2., 3., 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3, 4. etc. There are probably no numbers >99 in Headings (so no three-digit numbers between periods in heading numbering), but at the beginning of paragraphs there may be numbers that have (a) periods as thousands separators, as these are German documents and (b) dates, which are written "xx.xx.xxxx" here, with or without spaces. both kinds of numbers should be treated like all other non-heading numbers (put a marker before the first digit at the beginning of the paragraph). I can't use paragraph styles for identification, because they're not reliably there. All this should be done by a macro. Actually, I don't have a clue about VBA, but I can copy/paste, and I have to solve this - fast! Can someone help? TIA Alex Tag: data validation Tag: 93172

    - Find and Replace missing font (font substitution problem) I am trying to programmatically convert all references in a document of one fontname to another, in order to replace a missing font. This code works fine ... but only if the 'missing' font ("SuperHebrew") is in fact installed. For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges With rngStory.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Name = "SuperHebrew" Do While .Execute(FindText:="", Forward:=True) = True With .Parent HebrewString = .Text HebrewString = ConvertSupHebToCCAT(HebrewString) HebrewString = ConvertCCATToUnicode(HebrewString, "Vowels") If HebrewString <> "" Then .Text = HebrewString .Font.Name = "Ezra SIL" .Move Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1 End With Loop End With Next rngStory However, if SuperHebrew is NOT installed (which is the situation I am trying to handle <grin>) , then MSWord Font Substitution kicks in, and remaps the font to a different font (in this case "Default"). The side effect of this is that I can no longer reference the missing font by its orginal name, and I cannot work out what name I should use the code does not find anything to change. I have tried changing to ... font.name = "Arial" 'Ariel is my Default font font.name = "(Default)" font.name = "(Default) SuperHebrew" ' this is how is displays in manual Search & Replace None of these work.

    - problem with showing shortcut in tooltip on custom toolbar Hi! I have a custom toolbar with buttons for different styles like heading 1, normal, and a number of custom styles. The name for the button is set to the stylename + the shortcut, like "heading 1, Alt+1". I want the tooltiptext to be like the name for the button and so it is for some off the buttons but for some others it shows the button name and the shortcut aligned to the right. The tooltip for the heading 1 is for example "heading 1, Alt+1 (Alt+1)" Even if I via VBA changes the tooltiptext the extra shortcut shows. It would be ok if it was the same for all buttons but it is not. If I customize the toolbars to not show shortcust for buttons the extra added shortcut does not show. But I can not have this setting for many other reasons. And yes, the name of the button must include the shortcut.... What am I missing here? I thought that it had something to do with the built in styles but IÂ´m not shure it seams to be different on differnt computers. Tag: data validation Tag: 93133

    - Catalog Merge Document? We have written a small program to perform merges between a database and Microsoft Word merge documents that our customers create. Recently, one of our customers was trying to perform a merge, but it kept failing. I traced the problem to the type of Word document. Apparently, you cannot merge a catalog merge document directly to a printer. It must be merged to a new document. My question is, what exactly is a catalog merge document? I could discern no difference between it and a regular merge document. Is there a way to make a catalog merge document not be a catalog merge document?

    - Create Mailmerge Envelope with VBA I am baffled as to how to create a envelope mailmerge document automatically (without user interaction) using VBA. I have recorded how word does it and the recorded macro apparently takes a "behind the scenes" step in the creation of an autotext entry that it subsequently uses when creating the mergedocument. Each time I record the process, Word creates a new autotext entry and then uses that entry as the parameter for the .Envelope.Insert AutoText:= command: Activedocument.Envelope.Insert ExtractAddress:=False, OmitReturnAddress:= _ False, PrintBarCode:=False, PrintFIMA:=False, Height:=InchesToPoints(4.13 _ ), Width:=InchesToPoints(9.5), Address:="", AutoText:= "ToolsCreateEnvelope2" In this example, an unrecorded command created the autotext entry ToolsCreateEnvelope2. When I examine the autotext entry ToolsCreateEnvelope2, I find that it contains the mergefields that I added via the set up envelope command when I recorded the above command in Word. Because I am calling this VBA routine from Access and want the system to automatically create the merge envelope document without user intervention, I have to somehow figure out how to do this automatically. As I see it my options are: - Somehow programmatically create an autotext entries containing my mergefields. or - Somehow enter a string for the Autotext entry that includes the mergefields I want to show in the address box or - Programmatically select the address text box and then insert mergefield using the standard ActiveDocument.Mergefield.Add command. I don't have any idea how to do any of these. Any one have any experience with this problem? Tag: data validation Tag: 93103

All workstations are using the same image of Office installed some time ago. Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this to happen??????

    - Macro's in MS Word leading into Outlook I have a table set up in MS Word. I have a column that the answer is either Y or N. What im looking to do is, when a user enters a Y, this automatically opens an email from outlook. Depending on how complicated it is to do, the email can either be blank, and just be used as a prompt containing the title 'New CBP SITE ISSUE', or open containing the email adresses of Project leads on the team and including the title above. I am currently working on MS Word 2000 9.0.3821 SR-1 and MS Outlook 2000 SR-1 9.0.03821 Is this something anybody can help me with. TIA Dani Tag: data validation Tag: 93087

    - Dutch Math I need to write program code for 'international' applications. I have set my Region settings to Dutch(Netherlands). In Dutch (and other major languages), commas represent the decimal point and periods represent the thousands separators. I wrote this simple formula: Dim mynumber As Single Dim mynumber2 As Single Dim mynumber3 As Single Dim mynumber4 As Single mynumber = 1,50 mynumber2= 5 mynumber3=mynumber + mynumber2 mynumber4=mynumber3 + 1.5 I get a 'Compile Error, Expected End of Statment' message with the row "mynumber = 1,5" highlighted. What am I doing wrong? How can I overcome this? Unfortunately, it seems not to be simple matter of putting a period in place of the comma, for when I actually try to run a calculation using decimals as, the results come out in commas. Chaining calculations becomes more than very confusing (at least to me), because of the fact that the answer returned after the first calculation is expressed in Dutch (e.g., 1,5), but the next entry must be entered in 'American'. And if the initial values are picked up as string variables from an input box, it becomes even more confusing. Are there resources to help explain this? Tag: data validation Tag: 93075

    - AutoNew and Private I am trying to get my head around Private declarations and AutoNew/AutoOpen options. I have the following code that works: Option Explicit Dim cb As CommandBarComboBox Sub AutoNew() SetComboBox End Sub Private Sub SetComboBox Set cb = CommandBars("Test").Controls.Add(msoControlComboBox) with cb .OnAction = "SetColour" .AddItem "Green" ' Other setup stuff that works.... End With End Sub Private Sub SetColour Select Case cb.Text Case "Green" 'Run another Macro that doesn't matter here EndSub If however I declare AutoNew as Private so that it is hidden from the Macro list then the above breaks at the Select Case Statement. Where am I going wrong? Tag: data validation Tag: 93072

    - Userforms - working with decimal places I would like to be able to enter an amount into a textbox within a userform and have the amount fill from the right hand side. (This much I can do using the Align Property). However, as the numbers are typed I would like to see the decimal point to be placed 2 decimal places within the number, ie if I enter 123456 I would like to see: As soon as the 12 is typed â?? see .12 As soon as the next digit is typed, the 3 â?? see 1.23 As soon as the next digit is typed, the 4 â?? see 12.34 If I then deletes the last number, the 4 â?? see 1.23 So if I type 123456 â?? see 1234.56 So a value of $2000.00 would be typed as 200000 and the decimal point is not typed but appears correctly. Is this possible? Many Thanks, Angie. Tag: data validation Tag: 93063

    - Removing unwanted macro code by savinng as .RTF affects the document styles? Based on some good advice in a different thread, I saved a Word document as .RTF in order to remove unwanted macro code. While this worked, when the document was opened, it had a different set of styles defined for it than the original document. I am quite keen to stick with the original set of styles as I use them heavily, but my current customers are disconcerted by the Macro security message that is being activated due to the presence of the macro code. I should add that the document is based on a template where all the styles are defined and uses a macro in the creation stages to display a form for the user to set some document properties.

Hello,

I'm designing a questionnaire for a friend as was wondering if you can
help me.

It is an electronic questionnaire.

I was wondering if i could have general tips about data validation i.e.
how to make the software robust so that people cannot mess it up. for
example, i ask someones age in years and i dont want them entering
text, what is the validation for that?

How do i validate 'checkboxes', i have about 5 checkboxes within a
question and if any of them are not ticked i would like an error
message of some kind.

The thing is i'm new to programming so you'l need to simplify
everything for me.

Another thing is that the results need to be sent to a Word document
and also to an excel document, i was wondering what code i will need
for both.

Thank you before hand. cheers, Tony.

Sure you haven't bitten off more than you can chew?

Considering that you are new at this, I suggest that you take a look at the
following:

Please Fill Out This Form
Part 1: Create professional looking forms in Word

Part 2: Adding Automation to your Word forms.

Part 3: Learn more VBA (macros) to automate your forms.

Part 4: Use custom dialog boxes in your Word forms

Part 5: Connect your AutoForm to a database to save input time and keep
better records!
http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=136

When you have digested that, to check for a numeric entry, use the IsNumeric
function.

Re you question on the check boxes, what about the case where the valid
answer is for a check box not to be checked?

Hope this helps.
