    - VBA Code to read doc and apply/unapply hard CR at 4 inches Using Word 2000 What VBA code will accomplish the challenge below: Wish to use Word as my text editor for a Visio 2000 Text Box insertion. In Word, I wish to format the "page width" to 4 inches which is exactly the width I wish in the Vision Text Box. Of course as I enter text into Word, wrapping occurs (without a CR, of course) at about 4 inches (the page width) which is just fine. When I copy/paste the text (in Word) to Visio, only hard Word CR's are recognized in Visio. Is there VBA Code that will read a .doc file and wrap with a hard CR at exactly 4 inches. Also code that will (in reverse) remove existing hard CR's at exactly four inches - leaving all other CR's alove? [NOTE: When I add a hard CR to each line manually, the copy/paste to Visio works fine.] TIA Dennis Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54594

    - email as attachment - save first? Hi, I have some code which attaches the current Word document to an email (outlook 2002) and completes the recipient address and subject line automatically. This is fine but prompts me to save the document before I can email it. If I create a new document and click Word's own "mail as attachment" button I'm not required to save the document first. It works for Microsoft but not me :-( So, is there a way around this problem? Cheers Mike. Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54591

    - TextBox_Exit not receiving event when user tabs off of multi-page form I have a textbox control on a page of a multi-page control. If the user enters text into that control and tabs out of the control to the OK button (not contained within the page of the multi-page control) then the TextBox_Exit event isn't received. If I keep tabbing and the focus comes back into the Multi-Page control, the TextBox_Exit event is received and processed. How can I always catch this event? Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54573

    - Canned responses/mail integration I've seen this done before, but it's been a long time. I'm doing a fair amount of email support and easily accessible canned responses would make the entire process oodles easier. I'm using Outlook for mail management, but I've seen canned responses that could be set up, organized, and selected within Word to create the email and then simply copied and paste to be sent out through Outlook. Anyone know how I can create and organize canned responses within Word? I'm a novice when it comes to it, but surely it can't be that hard. It's either this, my little folders full of text files that aren't nearly as convenient and limit productivity, or I somehow manage to convince management to actually purchase an email database system that could support this, but that would actually be overkill for our needs.

    - word error msg.: insufficient memory I have Windows XP, Msft Word XP 2002. When attempting to save a document, I receive following error msg.: "Word had insufficient memory. Do I want to save the document as 'Received Document'?". My computer has over 500 mb internal memory available according to ms3winfo.exe. When it says that "Word has insufficient memory", is it referring to a separate memory resource for Word? If it is, how do I determine the size of this resource and adjust it so the error message does not appear? All replies welcomed! Aaron in N. Hollywood Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54567

    - Multiple index sub-entries When I try to create an index with subentries, I find that the same main entry sometimes appears for each sub- entry instead of only once with the sub-entries listed below. For example, instead of the following: adding, email messages footers I get this: adding, email messages adding, footers However, oddly enough, there are some entries where it does work correctly. The index field codes look exactly the same in both cases, so I don't know why they look differently in the generated index. Help? Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54562

    - Create an add-in I am working in Office XP. This may sound like a real no-brainer, but how do I create an add-in for Word? I have written a macro that I would like to make available to all documents based on a specific template. However, I do not want a copy of this macro put in every document I create from the template. Do I want to turn this into an add-in, or should I do something else? Note: This template and macro must be available to several users on a network. Thanks for your help!

    - Duplex printing This is not a question. It's a sharing. I was having trouble with Duplex printing, similar to the threads posted on 7/12 and 7/21. While we were all on the right track, there is a slight error in the sample code posted on the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 230743. This error was hinted at in one of the threads, but to really undertsand why, take a look at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SetDuplexOnOff.htm Suddenly it all made sense.

    - Macro with Replace in it locks up. I have created a macro to replace one phrase with another. Generally it runs correctly, but when I run it with the last occurrence of the phrase in the document the macro hangs. I have to press Esc to get back to the document. If I then insert the phrase a few more times then run the macro again it does nothing (as if it has been disabled). Closing and opening the document again - and the macro runs OK (until I get to the last occurrence again). I note that if you do the same Replace from the menus, Word tells you it has reached the end of the document and awaits an OK. Is this my problem? - if so how do I deal with it in the macro.? Thanks for you help on this. Here is the macro text: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sub noSig() ' ' noSig Macro ' Macro recorded 8/5/2004 by Simon ' Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "*quote " .Replacement.Text = "=removed by SI =" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Selection.Find.Execute With Selection If .Find.Forward = True Then .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart Else .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd End If .Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne If .Find.Forward = True Then .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Else .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart End If .Find.Execute End With Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End Sub Tag: How to disable recovery?

    - Make Word macro find text in footnotes, headers, etc? Hello, This is a question about a macro in which all the good ideas were offered by Helmut Weber in answer to questions that I posted here in earlier threads. Thanks to Helmut, I have a Word macro that helps fix a problem with WordPerfect 5.1 documents imported into Word 2002 - but so far, the macro works only with the main story in a document - not with the footnotes and headers, etc. Can anyone help with this last part of the problem? Here is the background: When Word 2002 opens a WordPerfect 5.1 document with typographical symbols such as curly quotation marks and em or en dashes, or some non-English alphabetical characters like the "oe" ligature, these symbols are not converted into native Windows characters, but are stored as invisible symbols. Helmut showed me how to devise a macro that replaces these symbols, and the code is at the foot of the message. I found this page has example code for making a find/replace operation work through an entire document, but I have not been able to adapt it to work with the kind of operation in this macro: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/FindReplaceAllWithVBA.htm Can anyone help adapt it to the needs of this macro? Many thanks for any advice. Here is the code of the macro that works in the main story: Cut on the dotted line: ----------------------------------------------------------- Sub ChangeWPCharactersToNativeWindowsCharacters Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogInsertSymbol) FirstOccasion = True Dim rDcm As Range Dim oChr As Object Dim sFnt As String ' font name Dim iFnt As Integer ' character number ' for the following lines to work correctly, insert a form anywhere ' in the VBA project - simply use Insert/User Form, and then ' press Ctrl-F4 to close the form Dim oDat As DataObject Set oDat = New DataObject Set rDcm = ActiveDocument.Range For Each oChr In rDcm.Characters If Asc(oChr) = 40 Then ' applies to most (or all) decorative fonts? oChr.Select ' If Asc(Selection.Text) <> iAsc Then ' from previous posting would fit in here ' plus select case SendKeys "%f^c{ESC}{ESC}" ' English version dlg.Display iFnt = Dialogs(wdDialogInsertSymbol).charnum oDat.GetFromClipboard sFnt = oDat.GetText ' for determining font name when adding changes ' MsgBox (sFnt) ' Debug.Print sFnt, iFnt ' change for WP TypographicSymbols font only ' fill in more characters later If sFnt = "WP TypographicSymbols" Then If Asc(Selection.Text) <> iFnt Then Select Case iFnt Case 64: Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(148) 'closing curly quote Case 65: Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(147) 'opening curly quote Case 66: Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(45) 'en dash Case 67: Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(150) 'em dash End Select End If End If ' change for Multinational Ext font only ' fill in more characters later If sFnt = "Multinational Ext" Then If Asc(Selection.Text) <> iFnt Then Select Case iFnt Case -3951: Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(156) 'oe ligature End Select End If End If ' insert changes for other WP fonts here End If Next End Sub --------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks for any help Edward Mendelson Tag: How to disable recovery?

    - Adding menu items to a separate menu section on doc template attach Hello all, I just finished the nitty gritty of checking through a doc template for valid bookmark entries. This is working fine. Now I want to add a menu item whenever the doc template is attached (added through Templates and Add-ins) For this, I over rode the subroutine Autoexec and here I tried to create the menu item. I am not able to figure out how to add a new menu section itself. Currently I am trying out like this: Set myMenuBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar Set newMenu = myMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _ Temporary:=True) newMenu.Caption = "Review" Set ctrl1 = newMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=1) ctrl1.Caption = "Find Invalid Comments" ctrl1.Style = msoButtonCaption Set ctrl2 = newMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=2) ctrl2.Caption = "Display Review Summary" ctrl2.Style = msoButtonCaption The behaviour is that the menu item "Review" is now appearing after the current menu bar. I want an own separate section for this menu item. (I know, the problem is with using ActiveMenuBar, but any other approach of adding a new MenuBar didn't seem to work for me) Also, I am not able to delete this menu item in the Autoexit subroutine. I am not able to figure out how to use the CommandBar -> Delete method to achieve this. Any pointers for the 2 problems above, anyone? Thanks and regards, Sena Tag: How to disable recovery?

    - fields.update in macro does not update TOC My template has a TOC and at the end of my AutoNew macro I have included the statement ActiveDocument.Fields.Update, because the TOC includes some text (headings) that contain text inserted with the AutoNew macro. The problem is that the text apparently is not updated in the TOC. One heading contains the name of a person ("Personal objectives for Peter") - this name is inserted during AutoNew - but the TOC only shows "Personal objectives for ". If I update the fields manually (rightclicking TOC, choosing Update field and Update evreything) the TOC is OK - so I thought the problem might be related to some missing parameter for the ActiveDocument.Fields.Update statement, but I can't see any possible parameters.

    - Testing for ansi 0145 and ansi 0146 in selection Dear all, 1) I'm looking for a way to test whether the ansi-0145 and/or ansi-0146 (curly quotes ` and ') are present in a selection. Does anyone know a method to tackle this problem? I do know how to evaluate a selection character by character, so that's not the problem. I tried the "asc" function, but that doesn't do the trick. 2) And I also would like to find a way to insert text containing these ansi characters using VBA code. I ask this in the same thread, since I suspect that the solution of both questions may be based on the same principle. Best regards, AndY ^^^^ Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54522

    - Find and Replace crash when installing Office Security Patch kb830349 Hi, I am doing Find and Replace in MS Word from VB Code. It was working fine till I installed Office Patch(kb 830349). There is a piece of code in which I am doing find and replace in my document, actually replacing some text in the document with a link object. The code is as follows '---------------------------------------------------------- Set objRange = letter.Content With objRange.Find .ClearFormatting If Not .Execute(FindText:="[BodyText]") Then Set objRange = Nothing End If End With letter.Fields.Add Range:=objRange, Type:=wdFieldLink, Text:="Word.Document.8 ""c:\\Socrates\\Templates\\Temp\\RTFTemp.rtf"" \a \r" Set objRange = Nothing '---------------------------------------------------------- This piece of code was working fine before the update was installed. After the update install, it gives an error after line: .ClearFormatting "Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface". After clicking OK, Memory read error occurs and the application terminates and if I am running from VB, then it also closes.

    - StyleRef in following pages Template used Heading 1 style at start of new part of report. Heading 1 has "page break before" so it is always at the top of page. Report part may be one or many pages. I need to create a page header that is -- blank on the page containing a Heading 1 style entry; but on later pages the header is "[heading1 text] continued.."

    - Paragraph Smasher Macro--to Improve? Hi, I've written a VBA script (for Microsoft Word 2000 on the PC) that highlights the current paragraph, then breaks it up into sentences that are separated by paragraph marks. Now the author can analyze the structure of the writing, and move the sentences around. The script adds double paragraph marks after "." "!" "?" and ";". Afterwards, it also removes the new, unnecessary paragraph marks after "Mr." "Ms." "Mrs." "a.m." and "p.m." However, it doesn't fix other abbreviations. I was wondering if someone can improve this macro. Thanks.

    - Merge many Word documents using a Excel macro I have created a macro that uses an Excel spreadsheet to merge many Excel files together. The spreadsheet has file name and location information. I want to do the same for many Word documants. Currently I have a Word macro that simply creates a new word document then just adds and formats all the required documents. What I want to do is add another tab on the Excel spreadsheet and have all of the file name and location information for the Word documents there and have Excel create the Word document. I have taken some code from another post and it seems to almost work... Dim wrdAPPnew As Word.Application Dim wrdDOCnew As Word.Document Set wrdAPPnew = CreateObject("Word.Application") wrdAPPnew.Visible = True With wrdDOCnew . . . Selection.InsertFile Filename:=currentInsertFileName, Range:="", _ ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False . . . End With The "Selection.InsertFile..." command works fine while inside Word but not from within Excel even though I have referenced the "Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library". When run I get a Run-time error 438, object doesn't support this property or method. Any ideas are appreciated Alan Parekh Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54475

    - Newbie Question Hey all, I got started with VBA using MS Access. I'm now trying to learn to apply it to Word. At this point, I'm not even sure of what events there are, besides open, close, and new, that I can use to trigger my code. I have no idea how to use form controls, etc. Anyone have any suggestions (and I'm sure you do) of what I could read to get me started? Thanks grep Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54457

    - Ignore All (spell check) on words with curly quotes In Word 2000 and Word XP, when I check the spelling of a document that contains curly quotes, words that contain an apostrophe are not included in the Ignore All list when I click a misspelled word in the text and select the Ignore All option. (The curly quotes are formed by the AutoFormat As You Type option for replacing "Straight Quotes" with "Smart Quotes"). Example: What was Bwa'ana looking for? In this example, Bwa'ana is considered two words, Bwa and ana. Now if I use only straight quotes, Bwa'ana is considered a single word, which is included in the Ignore All list. So now comes my question: Is there a way to have Word 2000 and XP include words with curly quotes in the middle into the Ignore All list (or in a custom dictionary, for that matter) as a single word? I know I can use a placeholder for the apostrophe and replace it after the spell check, but that can be quite inconvenient when you have lots of those words.

    - Locating specific range points Here's my requirement: I have to find specific text located in various places in a document. Once I identify the location of a spceific character (ASCII 167 in this case), I need to locate the VERY NEXT ")" character. My selected range must start at the 167-char, and end at the ")" char. I then need to replace the text in that range with a hotlink (easy enough to do). What I need to know is: 1) How to identify the absolute character position of the first & last character, and set the RANGE to those values 2) Is there a different way to do that? If so, how?

    - Document_Open() I have looked through and followed (to the best of my ability) the instructions on the MVP web site regarding having macros run when a document is opened based on a specific template. Let me explain what I need to do: I need a DOS (yes DOS) based application to: 1. Open Word. 2. Launch a template. 3. Run a mail merge macro. 4. Print the results. 5. Close Word. I have accomplished 1 and 2 by envoking Word from a command line using the /t switch to open a new document based on a specific template. I have accomplished 3, 4, and 5 in a macro. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get 3, 4, and 5 to happen automatically when a new document is opened based on the template. I have tried using the Document_Open() procedure. However, I can only get it to work when I open the template, not when a new document is created based on the template. What am I missing? Thank bunches in advance for your help.

    - Validation of text of bookmark entries Hello, I am using VBA for Word to validate whether a report Word Doc is fine. For this, I scan through the doc for certain bookmarks. If the bookmarks are not present at all, it is a major problem and I signal error and return. If the bookmarks are present, I would like to read the text soon after the bookmark and check if it is not empty. That is all. But I am not able to do this. Can anyone point me how to do this? Currently the code that I use to scan for the bookmarks is thus: If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("bkMark") = False Then bInvalidReport = True strInvalidFields = strInvalidFields + Chr(10) + p_strField + " " Else ' TODO : Check for valid entries for the bookmarks End If For the Checking for valid entries, I have tried the following things, which do not work: Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="bkMark" If IsEmpty(Selection.Text) then .... This doesn't work because even if there is nothing after the bookmark but blank characters, the bookmark always contains some vague ASCII character. If I try ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.("bkMark").Empty = True .... then it always returns empty for me, indicating a problem with every field. Warm regards, Senapathy Tag: How to disable recovery?

    - Saving to Mac text I need, for production reasons, to save from Word 2003 to Western European (Mac)text format. This is possible from the Save As dialogue box but I cannot figure a way of doing it in a macro. If I simply record the macro it records the SAVEAS format:= as straight Windows text, which produces the wrong quote and double-quote symbols on the Mac. The Visual Basic Help is unhelpful on the point as it simply says the formats are listed in the SaveAs menu, and these are useless for the format:= "xxxx" line. I got a listing of filters using the sample FileConverter code but this does not include Western European (Mac). Any suggestions? Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54429

    - Return the frame anchored to a given paragraph Is there a way in VBA to return the (first/only) frame anchored to a given paragraph? I was hoping the Frame object had an Anchor property like a Shape does. Of course, it doesn't. Is there another way, perhaps by looping through all the frames in the doc to matching one of them with its "anchoree" paragraph? I'm stumped.

    - Changing the attached document I have a situation where I want to change the template (from TemplateA to TemplateB) attached to the active document, and then save and close the document. When I subsequently reopen it, it should be based on the new template (TemplateB) I can do exactly this using Word's menus and all's well. - open the document, then go to Tools|Templates and Add-ins - click Attach and select a different template - Save and Close the document So I want to put the code in TemplateA that emulates using the menu system. I did this: Public Sub ChangeTemplate With ActiveDocument MsgBox "Change template from" & .AttachedTemplate .AttachedTemplate = "C:\MyTemplates\TemplateB.dot" MsgBox "Changed template to TemplateB.dot" .Close saveChanges:=wdSaveChanges End With End Sub Then I create mydoc.doc, based on TemplateA.dot and save it. Then I execute the ChangeTemplate Function. And as soon as I change the .AttachedTemplate property of the ActiveDocument, things get wacky. The code that follows that statement (the MsgBox and Close) don't execute. If I then tell Word to save and close the document, when I reopen the doc, Word immediately asks if I want to save it. If I say yes, it closes the doc. If I say no, it closes the doc. If I cancel, I get an error 4198. Whew! I think I'm screwing VBA's state and clearly I'm messing up the document.. Can anyone help with this function? thanks in advanc, gary Tag: How to disable recovery? Tag: 54426

    - "trigger macro on exit" for text boxes & radio buttons I have constructed a form that has 8 alternatives: 4 radio buttons (i.e., insert row above or below, or insert column to the right or to the left); & 4 text boxes (i.e., insert (how many) rows above or below, & insert (how many) columns to the rigth or left, And an OK button and a Cancel button. I can't figure out how to set the radio buttons (& the text boxes) so that choosing one radio button (or inserting a 1 or 2 digit number in a text box) will grey out & assign null values (or something like that) to any buttons (or text boxes) that previously contained values. Drop-down form fields have options that allow the user to trigger a macro on exit. I wish that text boxes and radio buttons had such an option, because I would use the "trigger macro on exit" to somehow grey out & assign null values (or something like that) to any buttons (or text boxes) that previously contained values.

Hi there.
I start Word as an Automation object from a C++ program on
a server. Is there a way to tell Word, "never try to
recover anything, just open this file and say nothing" ??

The open file command has several parms, I am pretty sure you can use
them to control this.
