    - Macro for sending Word doc via e-mail If I want to send a word document via e-mail (as an attachment) I know I can use the following code: ActiveDocument.SendMail This opens a new Outlook box and attaches the active word document -- this is good, but.. How can I specify the name of who this is to be sent to. I don't want to use the routing slip approach since that seems to include verbiage in the actual text section of the mail indicating that the document needs to be routed further -- I have only one recipient that the file is to go to. Is there also a way of specifying the subject field verbiage as well as being able to specify any text associated with the body of the mail message?? I tried using the same code that works well in doing this for Excel but this does not work for Word (using the recipient's name etc..) Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67925

    - ActivePrinter not working in macro. We've got an application that invokes Word, executes a macro, does a merge with data pulled from a text file extracted from a database, etc, and then prints the merged document to a specific printer. For years we've been having to manually set the Windows default printer on the workstations to use the specific printer that's needed because even though the macro has the command: ActivePrinter = "SPECPRINT" this printer never gets used unless it is the default for the user session upon the workstation before the macro ever gets run. The SPECPRINT printer is defined upon each workstation and is an LPR network printer which prints to a special print queue hostsed on a unix system which "broadcasts" the print jobs out to about half a dozen HP laserjet printers scattered about our network. We'd like to get away from having to make the SPECPRINT printer be the default printer on all the workstations becuase the users are continually forgetting to manually pick another printer whenever they print ordinary print jobs, and inadvertantly broadcast out those jobs to all the special broadcast printers and waste a lot of paper. The problem is that the "ActivePrinter" setting in the macro is getting ignored and it doesn't seem to matter what value it's set to... the print output just always goes to whatever the default printer is set to. Is this a common issue with ActivePrinter? Is there a better way to programatically direct the output to a specific print queue? Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67915

    - DocVariable Fields Hey I am pretty new to VBA and am trying to set up a macro that will update all of the fields in a document that are DocVariables. Some are in the body of the document and in the header/footer. I have one set up that will update all fields, but that is doing more than it needs to as it does the TOC and all the inclused text. Also anyone know of a good reference for object naming conventions in Word VBA, I program in other languages so the language structure is easy to pick up, just shakey on accessing the objects I want to.

    - Template errors I had a template which was created with Word 2000 and now we have Word 2003. Everything was working fine until I wanted to add a new button to the template. Now any document that was created with the 2000 version template errors when it's opened in Word 2003 because it see's the code for the new button I created but it doesn't see the button. This must be something new with Word 2003 where it stays connected to the template and any new code that is added to then template is added to an existing document. Does anyone have any ideas??

    - identifying lists in a selection Hello, I am trying to identify any lists within a selection. The user will selected some text in a word document (word 2002), then press the button to launch my macro which should convert the text selected into HTML :-) But I can't seem to grab hold of any lists within the selection - if I don't select any text I can use ActiveDocument.lists but there doesn't seem to be an equilivent command for selection.range. What I need to be able to do is find a list in the selected text, enter text before and after the list, and then work through each list item and do the same e.g. <ol> <li>item 1</li> <li>List 2</li> </ol> But if I can't even get hold of my list in the first place, this is going to be a triffle difficult! Any help, advice or pointers greatfully received. Many thanks Amy - still in the ooo, what does this command do phase of VBA p.s. yes I know word and HTML don't go together, but this really is the best solution to my particular problem - at the moment!

    - Automating steps to copy URL from IE into Word This seemed like a Windows question more than a Word question, I sent it to a Windows newsgroup, and was told it was a Word question. So here goes. Here's the kind of thing I do a million times. I've just copied some text from a web page into Word. Now I want to copy the URL of that web page into Word. I do Alt+Tab to switch back to the Internet Exporer page. I press Alt+D to place cursor in address bar. I press Ctrl+C to copy the address. I use Alt+Tab switch back to Word. I press Ctrl+V to paste the url into Word. Would there be a way to automate these five steps into one action, whether done by a .vbs file or some other means?

    - Can I use a macro to break up doc into separate files? Hi All, I have a long document (a user's manual) that I want to break up into a number of separate HTML files. Ultimately, these will become my online help (compiled HTML). I don't know of any way to simply convert from a Word dco to a .chm file, so I'm wondering about a macro to break the document up for me. At least that much of the conversion will be done for me. Each section of the doc has a number of Headings of various levels included. Ultimately, I'd like to select all the text from each Heading 1 to the next Heading 2, or Heading 1 if no Heading 2 exists. If a Heading 2 exists, I want to select all the text from it to the next Heading 2, or Heading one if there isn't another one. Once the text is selected, I want to save it to an HTML file, named whatever the Heading text is. I know my way around Visual Basic, but know mext to nothing about Word. Is what I want to do a reasonable thing? Is it possible that this has been done before, and some macro code is already out there somewhere? - Max Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67880

    - Adding a range object to a Mail Merge field Result Any assistence for the following problem will be most appreciated. I am writing a macro that takes codes and text from one document, called Structure.doc and inserts the text, and text associated with several codes [which are stored in tables in several other word documents] into an existing report. The codes are stored in a word document that contains 1 table with 2 columns. The first column hads the code, the second column has the text [which may include numbering, formating, tables etc] This macro works fine. However, in the Strucutre document, I need to be able to toggle the codes on and off where on displays just the codes, and off displays the full text assosated with the code, just as in the Mail Merge preview. However, as the codes are stored in several documents, and only certain codes from each document are selected, I do not think I can use the in-built Mail-merge function. My thought was to use a mail merge field that the user could enter the code in the field, and then use a macro to insert the field Result from the appropriate document. I found this will work if using the fields(i).Result.text except that tables and all the formating is lost. From my understanding, the fields(i).Result is a range object and so I should be able to insert a Selection.Range object into the fields(i).Result. However, whenever I use the code: ReportDoc.fields(i).Result = Selection.Range word crashes. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong? If the above is not clear enough, let me know and I will try to reword. Thanks, Simon Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67878

    - find and copy all highlights of a particular color Hi all. I'm working with a long document in which "glossary" words have all been highlighted bright green. I would like to copy all of these words into a separate document so that I can create the glossary. I'm sure that Word has built-in features that would be a better choice for this task, but I have to remain within this particular scheme, so I'm just trying to make my job a little easier. I have an old WordBasic macro that finds all the occurences of a particular text string and appends them into a text document, one by one, but I can't quite figure out how to do the same in VBA and then modify the search, and I don't think WordBasic supports a search for a particular highlight color. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Rodney Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67863

The template however is a one page template, the headers and footers present themselves as they should, in the event of a second page being required. The problem I am having is that the header for page 2 onwards holds a custom field. When page 2 is automatically created by typing lots of text the custom field does not update. The only way to update the field is to print it, F9 it or print preview. How can I have the header of my page 2 onwards custom field updated when no page 2 exists until I start typing into my document? Thanks very much in advance for your help. Kerry.

    - Move top-left corner of document into view When I open a document containing a table I do some editing (using VBA) in a cell off the screen. This causes the document to visually move to the right to bring the cell onto the screen. Afterwards, I need the top left section of the document redisplayed on my screen. At the moment, I'm using a workaround to achieve this - I select cell(1, 1) which is the top left of the document, insert a period (ie ".") and then delete the period. But, how do I move the top left corner of the document into view without doing any editing? It would be much safer for any text already there. Note: I have also tried turning ScreenUpdating off, but it has no affect on this. Thanks for your help.

    - Creating a module-wide variable Sorry if I'm not using the terminology correctly. I already have several module-wide variables (created by Dim statements) which enable information returned in one macro to be used in another macro--a neat capability. But these variables only seem to work because there already happens to be some public declarations at the top of the module, like this: Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" _ (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) These public declarations have nothing to do with the Dim statements, yet they enable them to work. I want to learn how to set up a module-wide variable if there is not already a Public declaration. In other words, if there is nothing at the top of the module, and I want to create a module-wide Dim statement there, how do I do that?

    - What is NoList Style? I was working with a macro that Klaus Linke posted the other day to remove unused styles.

I use wdStyleNormalTable for the normal table, I looked through all of the wdStyle constants and couldn't find one for NoList. I didn't try each one as none looked promising.

    - mosBarBottom: Documented bahavior or a bug? Usually, when I create a toolbar, I do include the Position property in the Add method. However, for msoBarBottom, I find unusual bahavior if I do not specify the Position property until later in the code. Using Word 2003, with msoBottom in the Add method, I get the expected behavior, i.e., the toolbar is created below all other toolbars. on a separate row. However, if I use the Add method without the Position property and later use the Postion property with msoBarBottom, the toolbar does not get placed at the bottom, instead, I've seen the following two cases: 1. The toolbar is intermingled with the toolbars in the last row of the toolbars, and not all the toolbar buttons are visible. 2. The toolbar is intermingled with the toolbars in the last row of the toolbars, and all the toolbar buttons are visible. I would have expected the use of Position with msoBarBottom to have caused the toobar to be in a new last row. Why all the buttons show sometimes, but not others, makes no sense, as nothing else has changed. Is this documented intended behavior, or is it a bug, documented or otherwise? -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site. Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67708

    - Why does the cursor disappear when I'm typing fast for awhile? I'm transcribing and can type very fast without looking at the keys. However, when I do look up, I find the cursor is not on the screen and whatever I've typed has stopped printing on the screen. I have to click the cursor back onto the page and then start typing, while stopping to check every sentence or so. HELP!! Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67707

    - Can I disable the prompt to save a document I am trying to record a simple macro that will select all, copy and close the document. I will then paste the clipboard onto another program. The problem I am having is that prompt that asks me "Do you want to save the changes you have made..." I never want to save these changes and would like to either be able to turn the prompt off all the Word docs or put it into the macro not to ask me. Any suggestions? (I am VB illiterate) -- Thanks for your help! H Dodson Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67700

    - Bookmark for FormField Does anyone know code for assigning a bookmark to a formfield? I can put a bookmark in, but it always shows up after the formfield, and I want to create a new formfield and immediately give the bookmark itself a bookmark name. It must be just one or two lines of code, but I can't find it and it's holding up my project. Thanks so much for helping out. Tag: Can VBA set row height to present value Tag: 67698

    - problem with COM add-in Hi, I have created a COM add-in for Word 2003 that also creates a commandbar/commandbutton when the add-in is loaded in IDTExtensibilty2_OnConnection. I then delete and set the commandbar/commandbutton to Nothing in IDTExtensibilty2_OnBeginShutdown. However, when I reopen Word, I now have two commandbar/commandbuttons. I think I remember that the commandbar/commandbutton is stored in Normal.dot. Is this the problem? Is there anyway to get around this without deleting Normal.dot?

I have a wide table that I need to print on two landscape pages. I delete
the right half and print the left side; then delete the left side and print
the right side. However, the rows will not align between the two pages,
since they collapse to the size necessary for the remaining cells. Can I
freeze each row height to the present value by VBA when I have the whole
table, so when I delete half the columns the rows will not collapse. Then
each independently printed half will line up with its other half.
I am using WORD 2003

G'day Al <pat-al.serranoremspam@worldnet.att.net>,

Technically speaking yes, this can be done. Practically speaking this
is extremely difficult, as are most automated page layout solutions.
The method is to test the Selection.Information(wow) vertical page
offset of the succeeding line whilst fiddling the exact row size.
