normal open as an add-in program
Every time I open Word and/or Outlook (office XP) I get a message that says
"The global template, NORMAL.DOT, is already open as an add-in program." How
do I shut that off?
Also every time I close the same, I get prompted to save two of the
templates that I use on a regular basis, even if I do not make changes to
them. I would like to shut that off too.
I know that in the tools, options menu you can turn on or off the option of
"prompt to save normal template." That option is off.
Please help me solve this annoying problem. Tag: How to ignore autosave bug? Tag: 59098

macros and autotext from a non normal.dot tamplate
Hello,
I'm trying to write a macro that inserts an autotext entry
from a template other than the Normal.dot.
In the code, NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("cbo").Insert
Where:=Selection.Range, _RichText:=True
when I try to replace Normal with the name of my global
template where the "cbo" autotext is found, I get an error
message.
In a macro,how can I tell Word to look on any other
template, or on all active templates to find autotexts?
Much appreciation!

Outlook and Word integration
Hello,
In Word, I have created an macro with a dialog box which
allows a user to call up an outlook contact. Is there a
way to write code which selects specific fields from the
Outlook contact to bring up in Word? i.e. Address,
business telephone number, etc.?

Att: Helmet. Search changes font size.
Hi
I asked a question last week and I have since managed to tidy up my macros
as I was no longer sure whether the macros assigned to 'new macros' or 'this
document' or referenced to the .dot was the macro which was running when I
clicked on my tool bar.
So I can now say with certainty that the macro below is the 'guilty' macro.
When searching for words, it changes the font size which might be
16, 14, 12, 10 , for a four lettered word (falling tone) to 12,12,12,12,
(normal font size which I happen use for flat tones).
This possibly didn't show up in my question if you don't allow .html.
Any ideas which line could be doing this?
Thanks

Sections: Index and Count
Can anyone help with the following, please?
I have a document with a large number of sections. My cursor will be
in the footer of a randomly selected section from which I need to step
forward through each one checking a sequence until the last section is
reached.
In the normal course of events I might use an "On error..." statement
which would occur when arriving at the last section and my code asks
for another one. I would exit from the routine at this point as the
error would be trapped.
However, in this instance, when I arrive at the last section whilst
still in the footers and update my sequence the cursor flips back to
the previous section. The code continues to ask for the next section
and therefore a loop is generated.
I know how to determine the number of sections in a document and also
know how to go to the last one as well as stepping through each
section.
But how can I find out when I've arrived at the last section after
each step through? Is there a way of comparing the index of the
section the cursor is located against the total number of sections?

Word Macros: Drawing Objects?
Hi all,
tried recording a macro of adding/modifying drawing objects.
The macro recorder simply failed to record anything, and in fact, prevented
me from performing many operations.

Excel does an excellent job of same.
Q: Are drawing objects even supported by Word VBA?
Specific issue: I need to add and change the text in a text box, as well as

Using Hyperlinks in Protected Forms
I have followed the FAQ
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/HLinksInFormsContent.htm) to the
letter, and I can't get hyperlinks in protected forms to work properly.
I have several hyperlinks pointing to bookmarks within the same Word XP
document. This is a form that the user fills out; the hyperlinks take them
to a spot in the document which explains the section of the form they're in.
But after I've created the macro, added the macrobutton to the hyperlink
field, and protected the form, when I double-click on the hyperlink/button,
the location jumps to the very next text field in the document, nowhere near
the intended bookmark. All of my descriptions have been bookmarked, and the
hyperlinks are pointing to the bookmarks as necessary.
Will this trick work with internal hyperlinks? Or is it really only intended
for external weblinks?
I would appreciate any advice or guidance.
Thanks,

Problems With Reference to Addin

I'm having trouble with a Template which sets a reference to an addin using

If the document needs to move to another environment which has a different

adds the addin appropriate to that env using "AddIns.Add
FileName:=strTemplate(1), Install:=True".
But something somewhere goes wrong and when i check my references it says
Missing and points to a temp file : C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local
Settings\Temp\3\WRL????.???

Set MyDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)

Hide fields

I know how to hide all shapes in a document before
printing:

iNum = 1
Do Until iNum = .Shapes.Count + 1

iNum = iNum + 1
Loop
iNum = 1

the document, there is no such thing as:

{ MACROBUTTON NoMacro [Click here to type your text] }
and I don't think is nice to show that field on the print
out.

FileSearch Object not working
I have a macro which uses a Shell FTP to retrieve a file from UNIX to Windows
to be used as a data source for a mail merge (just acomma deleimited test
file). At one site which is running Windows XP and Word 2002 I'm having
problems with the FileSearch object not finding the file after the successful
Transfer of the file.
First the user was getting a runtime error #70 Permission Denied and after
checking with the site's IT dept. and being assured that the user has Full
rights to the network directories where the action is taking place, the error
continued. I then commented out a KILL command which got rid of the
premissions error (it deletes the script I created to be used in the FTP),
but after that the macro does a file search to be sure that the file is
really there and it always fails, even though I can see the file in the
directory.
The code is:
'***** Delete file with userinformation
Kill (DownloadPath & "Ftpget.txt")
'***** Check if file is present after download
Set objFSO = Application.FileSearch
With objFSO
.LookIn = DownloadPath '***Path to where file is
.FileName = FileToGet '**Name of file
.MatchTextExactly = True
If Not .Execute > 0 Then
'***** File doesn't exists, display error message!
ElseIf FileLen(DownloadPath & FileToGet) < 10 Then
'***** File does infact exists, now check if it is more then 0 bytes =)
error message2
Else
'***** File download succesfull
End If
End With
Set objFSO = Nothing
The user always recieves the first error message. I've check the references
and they are all the same. This code works at other sites. Is there
something that was not installed on this user's machine? Can anybody help?
I'm out of ideas.

Changing numbers
** This is a re-posting of the question asked on word.vba.beginners on 9
November. I'm reposting it here due to a paucity of responses to my first
post! **
We sometimes get documents where paragraph numbering needs changing
and for one reason or another we cannot use automatic paragraph
numbering in the document, just manual numbering. I am trying to
write a macro that will enable you to renumber basic paragraphs in a
document (nothing fancy, just ones numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 etc).
I am using the Selection.Find method to search for the first number,
then I want to replace it with another (incremented) number, search
for the next number, replace that, and so on till the end of the
document. I cannot get this to work. If finds the first number and
replaces it but then stops. Here's the code I've got so far, and I
daresay I'm going about it the wrong way.
Sub ReplaceNos()
Dim a As Integer
Number = 1
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = Number
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdStop
.Format = False
Do While .Execute
if Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToTextBoundary)/72<2
then
Number = Number + 1
a = Selection.Text
a = a + 5
Selection.Text = a
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
End if
Loop
End With
End Sub
This *should* search for the digit 1 and, if it is within the first 2
inches of the left margin, replace it with 6. Then search for "2",
replace it with 7, etc etc.
Silly question... why does it not work? I really need a lot more
knowledge of how the selection.find method works, I think!

Word templates over a WAN
I have a client that has an interesting problem.
The IT department wants control over templates that are installed on their
corporate intranet. The network is broken up into several LANs operating at
100Mbs that are interconnected using a WAN at 7Mbs. They also have users
that connect to the intranet using either dialup/broadband using a VPN. All
templates are stored on their central server and they have the path to the
templates set for each individual user using the Workgroup templates.
A user that creates/uses a document that uses the template from the LAN
experiences a 2 to 3 second delay. This user A saves the document and sends
to user B that is on a different segment of the WAN. When user B opens the
document then the open will take 20 to 30 seconds to complete. Each of the
templates is running some VBA. Some users experience wait times of upto 20
minutes when opening a document.
My guess is that when the document is opened by user B it is trying to
reference the template that is on user A's segment of the WAN.
I have the following recommendations for the client:
1) Replicate the servers for each of the segments such that the template is
resolved to the local LAN.
2) Deploy the templates to each and every client machine on their network.
Provide an installer that each user will use to install on each individual
system.

Switching Between Printers in a Single Macro
Hello,
I am in a fix. I have a macro that basically needs to perform the following
tasks:
Save a mail merge document to an RTF with a specific name. (So far so good
on this one!)
Print the RTF to a PDF file.
Print the RTF to the printer on LPT1.
Delete the RTF.
Close any remaining open windows.
Most of the macro is working fine. My trouble is switching between the two
printers. No matter what I do, the default printer is being changed to Adobe
PDF. I either need to know how to prevent this or how to switch it back to
the printer on LPT1.
The template, which incorporates this macro, is being distributed to several
different people each with different printers and printer names.
Is there a way to accomplish what I need????
Here is my macro so far ...

Switching Printers within the same Macro
I have searched and searched for a solution to my problem. I have found bits
and pieces but nothing to tie it all together.
I have a macro which basically does the following:
Saves a merge document to an RTF file.
Prints the saved RTF file to a PDF file.
Prints the saved RTF file to the printer on LPT1.
Closes the active window.
Deletes the RTF file.
Closes remaining open windows.
The problem lies in switching between the Adobe printer and the printer on
LPT1. This template, which contains the macro, will be distributed on
several different computers. Each computer has its own printer with its own
name.
I am saving to the RTF file so that the PDF file is forced to have the same
name in a specific directory.
Below is my macro (such as it is right now)!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sub OSDFileSaveAsRTF()
'
' OSDFileSaveAsRTF Macro
' Save merged file as an RTF file
'
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
strFileName = .Item("OSDNumber").Range.Text
strFileName = strFileName & .Item("BasicForm").Range.Text
End With
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf", _
fileformat:=wdFormatRTF
'Print saved RTF File to PDF File
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
.Printer = "Adobe PDF"
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = True
.Execute
End With
'ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="",
PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False,
PrintZoomColumn:=0, _
PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0
'Delete RTF File
ActiveDocument.Close
Kill "c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf"
'Close remaining active documents
ActiveDocument.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you can make heads or tails from the above since the line breaks are
messed up.
I basically want to make sure at the end of the process that the default
printer is the printer on LPT1 not Adobe PDF. No matter what I do, the
default printer keeps getting switched over.
Any help would be appreciated. And thanks in advance.

How to hide the Auto* for user use ?
[Posted to microsoft.public.word.vba.general and copy sent to the cited author]
Hi,
How to hide the AutoOpen, AutoNew and AutoClose macros from the list
which appears when uqser go to Tools/Macro/Macros.
Knowing, I don't wish to lock access to this list (ie. remove the Macro
command in menu) nor erase these subs in the code by itself (since I
just want to stop the user calls but not the internal ones).
Any idea ? Tag: How to ignore autosave bug? Tag: 58973
Finding Bookmarks in Headers
I need to be able to goto a bookmark in a header and I use several different
headers in the same document by using section breaks. I have not determined
how to do this since the headers are not visible in the goto list. I am
using word 2002 sp3 Tag: How to ignore autosave bug? Tag: 58968
Template Codes/Signature
I'm not sure this is the correct forum, but our department has 10-12
templates that we all use. Up to now, we've been maintaining our own copies
in our Office Template folder, but would prefer to keep one authoritative
copy in our departmental folder, and configure each user's Word to look in
that folder also.
We can insert a Field code to insert the username, but we'd like to insert a
scanned signature also, tied to the user.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for all help.

Can I detect when autosave raised DocumentBeforeSave?
