    - Global Text Replacement Folks; What I want to do is to replace ALL occurrences of 'ABC' with 'XYZ'. When I say ALL I mean ALL. Occurrences in the mainDocument, Headers, Footers, TextBoxes, TextBoxes in Headers, TextBoxes in Footers, Tables, Tables in Headers, and Tables in Footers. This on a Mac using 'do Visual Basic'. I've posted something in the Mac forum and it seems as soon as I mention 'do Visual Basic' I get pointed over here. Anyway a simple Find/Replace doesn't scour the text of Tables nor TextBoxes, though I've been told it should? could? The code below does what I need except for one small thing ... It doesn't work when I change the ActivePane to wdSeekPrimaryHeader or wdSeekPrimaryFooter So I've got it working MainDocument but the code goes brain-dead in Headers and Footers... Can someone point out what I need to do? Also the code below has an odd nested construct. I found similar code in the MSHelp files. Can someone clarify why the For .. While Not .. Wend Next construct is necessary? The code doesn't work in I unwind it to a simple For Next loop. _____________________________ ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges myStoryRange.Find.Execute FindText:="ABC",ReplaceWith:="XYZ",Replace:=wdReplaceAll While Not (myStoryRange.NextStoryRange Is Nothing) Set myStoryRange = myStoryRange.NextStoryRange myStoryRange.Find.Execute FindText:= "ABC",ReplaceWith:="XYZ",Replace:=wdReplaceAll Wend Next myStoryRange Tag: How do you insert table realignment within a loop?

    - Find and replace multiple special characters I've got a Word document that was created by a client. The problem is that he has used four special characters thru' out 9 seperate documents incorrectly and they need to be replaced by different special characters. I would like to build a Macro that searches for all four sererate characters and replaces them with the correct ones, It would be great if I can build a marco that does this on all the documents at one time.

    - Problem with "Editing and Updating a TOC" After posting a message on how to create a TOC using just the first word of some major paragraphs, I went out and bought the Microsoft book "Word 2003". Page 598 worked me through creating a TOC using the manual "Mark Table of Contents" method. But, after creating it, when I try to update it using the "Editing and Updating a TOC" section of page 599, Word tells me the document does not have a TOC. So, I found that to update a manually created TOC, I need to: Select the TOC, right click it, choose "Update Field" click "Update entire table" and OK that. As I am new at TOCs, there likely is a better way, anyway, both the online course that I took on TOCs and the Microsoft book could be updated to address this issue. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Range Start and End in Word 2003 Tables I am working with Word 2003. I need to select information between two bookmarks. The problem is this: I have a two column table. In Row1, Column1 before any text is a bookmark named CapBegin. The table could only be one row or it could be up to five rows. If it is only one row, after the last text character in Row1, Column1 is a bookmark named CapEnd. If the table is two rows, the CapBegin bookmark is at the beginning of the Row1, Column1 cell and the bookmark CapEnd is after the last text character in Row2, Column1 cell. I need to capture the text in between these two bookmarks (in column 1 only) and enclose it in a new bookmark named CaseInfo without any table cell markers. The reason for this is that I need to later capture the contents of CaseInfo, copy it, create a new document based on an existing document and paste it into an existing Table Cell as text, not as a nested table, but I need to retain the formatting of the text that is being copied. Both documents (source and destination have styles created with the same names, but with slightly different formatting). This is the code that I am currently using. However, using this code, the text is pasted into the new document using the Normal style. I need the text to be pasted using the styles that are applied in the original document.

    - Resources Used by Startup Templates Dear All, When we put a template in the startup folder for Word, how much does it affect system resources? For example, if I were to add a template that includes 100 or so autotext entries for the names of our largest member firms, would that information be "loaded" into memory when Word starts, drawing away from resources from other applicaitons? Other modules and toolbars in the same template -- same thing -- draw down memory recsources or are they just "available"?

    - How can I create a large text file is an efficient way? I 've coded a subroutine to create a text file (in this case a xml file) which sometimes holds a size of 500 - 900 KB. While the subroutine works efficiently for small file size (up to 50 KB) I noted a worse efficiency in case of large file size (up to 10 minutes of calculation time). This is the routine : Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set xmlFile = fso.CreateTextFile(FilePath, True) DO xmlFile.Write "some text" & vbCrLf LOOP UNTIL .. xmlFile.Close While debugging I've noted that the execution of line : xmlFile.Write ... takes more and more time as the text file has grown lager.

    - VB on a Mac Folks I'm trying to do Find/Replace within textBoxes on Mac using Word vX and 'do Visual Basic'. The version of Word shouldn't really matter right? Since I'm using 'do Visual Basic'.... I am asking in the Mac forums as well but here is where the real VBGurus seem to hang... I've tried so many different constructs I cannot remember them all. But no syntax I have come up with allows me to get to the text. BTW: These are textBoxes created by doing Insert/Text Box off the menu. No userForms... The vb I'm using is below. I'm convinced that the 'With' statement inside the Do Until is the key.

    - Feasibility Question Dear All, Working in Office, 2003 with XP Pro workstations. We have a primary membership database running on Pervasive contains all our member data. It includes, from a recent upgrade, the ability to open a word template with merged date (using bookmarks) from the primary data file. We have a clipping service that provides images of clips, via a web site, that are stored as .pdf files. We have the ability to save these .pdfs (with odd numeric filenames) or "print" these .pdfs "via" Acrobat Distiller. The goal is to have a staff member who is reviewing clippings, be able to look up a member in our database and open a template that will run VBA on autoopen to automate sending the clip on screen to the members. So I'm speculating that it should be do-able, using VBA, to grab the member data -- name and e-mail address, save or print the "clip" file in the TEMP directory on the local workstation, open an outlook e-mail message, populate the address field, attach the attachment and leave the message open for the user to put in a personal note and click "send." Sound reasonable? Any hidden gotchas to watch out for? Sincerely, Ridge Tag: How do you insert table realignment within a loop? Tag: 82481

    - Auto Increment number on Document I need to make a macro for all new/template documents, so that at what ever line/place I am in the document it should bring me a number. And when ever in same document or any other document If I call the macro it should obtain me a preivious number+1. I mean just when ever I call this macro it should give me an increment number. I saw some codes on net for document /Form Type , with the help of bookmark it can be obtained. But in my case I cannot make any bookmark. As I will be using it as a reference number at any place in the letters. Sometime it is in the first line , some time it is at last line , its not fixed. Please advise me in details, as I am not good in VB. Note : I have Windows XP operating system and MS Office 2000 installed.

    - Getting information from Access into Word Hi all, I'm very new to VBA, so my question here may look stupid or has been answered here a dozen times. Anyway I was not able to find the answers to my question. I have made a small Access database in which I have 4 tables. Table one contains (in every table there is of course a ID field) the names of products that we do analyses on, like wheat, flour, soyabeanmeal Table two contains the sort of analyses that we do on these products, like humidity, protein, etc Table three contains different methods that can be used to do these analyses, like ISO 712, EC, etc Table four contains the fields from the previous three tables, where we make all the possible combinations: for example: wheat can be analysed on humidity by method ISO something, but also by method ICC something. Now I want to make a letter in a Word template that shows on startup a user form with a number of comboboxes. In the first combobox the user can choose a product let's say wheat. When the user then clicks on the following combobox he will only see the different analyses possible for wheat, let's say humidity. When he then clicks on the third combobox he will only see the different methods that can be used to analyse the humidity of wheat. All this information should then go to the appropriate bookmarks in the Word document. I managed to connect to the database, because I can load a list of laboratories in a combobox that we can have these analyses assigned to (in case we are too busy) and then put name, address, postcode, town, etc on the appropriate bookmarks of the Word document.

    - TextBox and Tables - a couple of questions Folks; What I want to do is essentially 'mail-merge' but the user is not going to be placing merge tags. They will simply put placeholders that I will substitute with data in my script. They will be placing the text in normal layout, inside of textboxes, and inside of tables. Could be some or all of the above. How do I determine if there are any TEXT BOXES and then iterate over them changing .Text any 'abc' to 'xyz'? (TextBoxes just puzzle me...) For Tables I've figured out that I can do: With ActiveDocument.Tables(1) For i = 2 To .Rows.Count For j = 1 To .Columns.Count [do something with .Cell(i,j).Range.Text] Next j Next i End With But: 1) How do I determine how many tables there are and then iterate over them successively? 2) Is there a smarter way than walking every thru cell and checking for .Range.Text? In the general layout (not in a TextBox or a Table) is this the preferred solution: With Selection.Find.Text ="abc" .Replacement.Text = "xyz"" .Forward = True .Wrap = 1 .Format = False End With ReplaceAll() Thanks for any insight!!

For example, in some documents I want the macro to add characters to a certain word, but only if the word isn't within a tracked deletions, since that makes the added characters UN-tracked (undeleted), so when revisions are accepted the added characters remain while what?s around it is erased. I would have thought code like this: If Selection.Range.Revisions(1).Type = wdRevisionDelete Then [etc] ....where the Selection is only 1 word and definitely contains only 1 revision, would allow the code to evaluate accordingly and consistently (and in this case, skip the action that would be performed if the Selection had no tracking). But very often it behaves as if this line of code isn?t there, and the action after that line *is* performed, with unmanageable results. Testing with MsgBox Selection.Range.Revisions(1).Type seems to return equally baffling results -- often it returns the value of 1 for an insertion *or* a deletions. Am I using the wrong constant? I don?t see one that would mean the same thing. Any help appreciated. ------------ Mark Tangard "Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." --John Waters Tag: How do you insert table realignment within a loop? Tag: 82430

    - Disable the Research Pane shortcut Is there a way to detach the CTRL-DoubleClick shortcut so that it doesn?t open the ?Research? Task Pane? I have no use for that feature (or frankly for any of the Task Panes -- I've always found them inefficient and pointlessly showy; but that shortcut itself used to invoke the very useful Select Current Table command. MS seems to have unbound it without saying anything -- as if upward compatibility is less important than furthering their apparent aim to enslave us all to these confounded Task Panes sputter sputter fume fume.... Is there perhaps a registry hack to do this? I don?t see a way to use KeyBindings to get rid of the association, let alone reestablish it for selecting the current table.

    - Mail merge creates multiple instances of Word Hello everyone, I am have inherited some code that does a mail merge of client forms in powerbuiler. The underlying problem is not with powerbuilder, but in how the ole object is working. I've opened a word application thru code and have populated the datasource. // active external application la_OLEReturn = ole_1.Activate(Offsite!) // open datacource ole_1.Object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource("c:\mail_merge\datasource_" + string(al_header_id) + ".rtf", 0,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,"","",FALSE,"","","","","") // hide the merge codes, so the actual value can be seen ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.ViewMailMergeFieldCodes = FALSE // execute the merge. ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute // set print background to false, otherwise MS Word complains that 'Word is still Printing' ole_1.Object.Application.Options.PrintBackground = False // Print the merged documents ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(-1) // close the current document ole_1.object.Application.ActiveDocument.Close(0,1) Everything works and prints fine, just not the way we want it to. When the Active(Offsite!) executes, it opens an instance of word and then populates it with the datastore when that is fired. When the Execute fires, that opens up a new instance of word with merged data. Then it prints and closes as code is fired. We do not want to have new instances of word opening and closing up like a slide show when there are multiple forms being printed. Is there a way to have the mail merge stay within the first opened word instance or even just a second one? Thank you for the help. Tag: How do you insert table realignment within a loop? Tag: 82397

Can someone help me insert a statement that would realign the table to right
of the page (the below script was provided by Jay Freedman). I believe the
statement is Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight but Iâ??m having trouble
inserting into the loop so that all the tables within the document are
realigned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

********************************

Sub ResizeTables()
Dim oTbl As Table

For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
With oTbl
If .Columns.Count = 4 Then
.AutoFitBehavior Behavior:=wdAutoFitFixed
.Columns.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints
.Columns(1).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(1#)
.Columns(2).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(0.69)
.Columns(3).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(0.63)
.Columns(4).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(3#)
End If
End With
Next oTbl
End Sub

.Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowRight
End With
