    - Word VBA refernces to .tlb I have a vs2007 project using created extensibility add-in for Word 2007. As such I must load my dotm file, switch to developer/visual basic (ALT F11), selected references, locate the .tlb file and add it. This all works fine as does the .net code The problem occurs (occasionally) as I make changes to the .net code. Sometimes when I initiate the Word process, I will get a dialog box "could not open macro storage". When I start Word, load the .dotm file, ALT F11 to open VBA and check references, I notice the .net project I am using is listed as missing. It still has a check beside it. I uncheck to project, close references, open references again, locate the project name (it is still in the available refernces - just un checked), recheck the project, save and close the .dotm, I am once again able to use word as expected with the addin functioning correctly This does not happen every time I change the project code. I often transfer the solution and develop on other computers then transfer to solution back to the original development computer. This effort always requires the dropping of the project and then locate anc check it in VBA. I expect this project to be in use for at least 5 years with many changes to the code. I have worked out a deployment scheme that will auto deploy and install the project as users login. The requirment to reload the reference in VBA will be a problem. Is there a registry change that I can record and push back during deployment? Where is the information aboout loaded refences in VBA for Word maintained? How can I inform Word (in an automated way) that the refernce to the .tlb file is valid? Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105051

    - Userform Coding Problem that I need help with! I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out a coding problem that I SCREWED UP. I had this code in my Microsoft Word VB Editor that you see below. The code worked PERFECTLY until I stupidly tried to edit it without first making a backup. I know, first rule of any work is to make a backup, so I can't believe I forgot to do that. As an FYI, the "code" contained below was interfacing with one of my Excel Workbooks, and allowed me to chose a client name from a dropdown menu (in Excel), and when the name was chosen, Excel would call up a "Word", and the Userform that was created would also open. This would then allow me to input narrative comments into the Userform. As a result of my "editing", I can select a client name (on the Excel Workbook), but "Word" and "The Userform" no longer opens (actually it looks as if it is trying to open, but cannot). If some kind and knowledge person could look at the code below and let me know if you see anything that I am leaving out I'd greatly appreciate it. Dan The Code in the MS Word Sample.doc VB Editor Module Sub UpdateComments(parm1) On Error Resume Next Documents.Open FileName:=parm1 If Not FileExists(parm1) Then ' Check if file/folder exists ..... MsgBox "File " & parm1 & " does not exist", vbOKCancel Exit Sub End If UserForm1.Show vbModeless End Sub _____________________________________________________________________ Function FileExists(fname) As Boolean ' Returns TRUE if the file exists Dim x As String x = Dir(fname) If x <> "" Then FileExists = True _ Else FileExists = False End Function Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105048

    - IF Field breaking bullets Hello, i'm have having a problem in Word 2003 for PC. When I create an IF field as part of a bulleted list, the indent is correct but the bullet is removed. The problem seems to be caused by the carriage return in the result of the IF field. this causes the bullet to be removed on whichever line the field is placed. A few examples follow (? is the bullet point): EXAMPLE 1 ï?§ Bullet 1 { IF "T" = "T" "Bullet 2" "Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 Bullet 2,3 and 4 are being inserted by an IF Field and if the condition is true then Bullet 2 is inserted, otherwise Bullet 3 and 4 are inserted. RESULT 1 ï?§ Bullet 1 Bullet 2 ï?§ Bullet 5 however, the problem is that the bullet point for Bullet 2 is removed. EXAMPLE 2 ï?§ Bullet 1 { IF "T" = "F" "Bullet 2" "Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 notice that the IF field should display Bullet 3 and 4 now RESULT 2 ï?§ Bullet 1 Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4 ï?§ Bullet 5 in this case Bullet 4 was inserted correctly. but again no bullet for the first one. the perplexing case is when the IF conditional field is inserted after Bullet 1. EXAMPLE 3 ï?§ Bullet 1{ IF "T" = "T" " Bullet 2" " Bullet 3 ï?§ Bullet 4" } ï?§ Bullet 5 this should insert a hard return before Bullet 2. this results in: RESULT 3 Bullet 1 ï?§ Bullet 2 ï?§ Bullet 5 any help would be appreciated Andre' Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105043

    - searching a range Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code? What I am trying to do, is set a range to the first 5 sections of a document. Then I want to find a particular string. If I find it, I want to clear that search and search for something different. However, the search is not working (at all). It is not finding the string that is actually in the document. (I tried changing noticeplus.find to selection.find, which appeared to work. But as I got deeper into the macro, I found that it was not doing what I wanted (It wasn't just searching the range that I set, it was searching the entire document). I know I have done this before and I know it is going to be something simple and stupid, but it just has me stumped at the moment. Thanks for any help.

    - An alternative to "Forms" Hi. I'm working with Vista and Word 2007. I'm trying to create some templates for documents. I'd like to be able to have certain locations/spots within the document that I can hit a key, quickly jump to and enter in some information, then hit a key and jump to the next pre-designated location to enter in more information. I realize that a "form" allows this, by tabbing. But it has two problems: 1) It is cumbersome--I find that when I set up a form, from then on the typing within it slows down to an excruciating pace, undoing the time-saving of the quick jump. 2) Forms open in "protected" mode, and in my documents I will not only be entering info in some spots, but I will be modifying info in other locations, so I have to stop and "unprotect" after I've done the "form" part, and it would be easier to just move through the document from top to bottom, jumping to some spots, then stopping and modiying some info in others. At a former workplace, Word had been modified so that when you hit "F9", it would jump to some pre-set spot, which was designated in the template with something like {ASK }. I don't know whether this was a macro with a field, or what. But it met the need I described above--I could jump from spot to spot, enter in new info, then make changes to some of the text that was pre-set. Would anyone know how to achieve this in my current documents? I am advanced at Word features, but not at all knowledgeable about programming. Thanks. dc Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105034

    - Problems with Replace Hello, I'm a little bit new to Word VBA. Been working with Excel VBA for a while. I built the following macro to delete text that had the style of "Instructions" applied to it. The idea is for the user to execute this after they're done filling out the document. For the most part, it works well. There are a couple of problems however. If the instructions are immediately followed by a table, inserted JPG, etc. it doesn't delete the preceeding text. It could be a single space, a line of text, whatever. The issue is when the text (styled with "Instructions") immediately preceeds something WITHOUT a hard return, it doesn't get deleted. Please give me some guidance. I appreciate your help. Sub Test2() Dim objDocumentRange As Range Dim strTargetStyle As String Dim strResultText As String strTargetStyle = "Instructions" strResultText = "" Set objDocumentRange = ActiveDocument.Range With objDocumentRange.Find .Style = strTargetStyle .MatchAllWordForms = True .Text = strResultText .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With End Sub -- Programmer on Budget Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105002

    - Applying a paragraph style SOMEtimes wipes out bold/ital--why? Hi all, This is a very odd problem, much more easily explained with a sample file, which I can email to you if you're interested. Simply put, I'm applying a paragraph style in Word XP (2002) to various paragraphs. The style does not apply or remove bold, italics, or underlines, so I assumed it wouldn't affect those character styles when they're present in the paragraphs I'm styling. Mostly, that's the case, but not always. Which is very confusing to me! There are three basic scenarios, and the third one does NOT act the way I think it should: 1) I apply the style to a "Normal" paragraph with SOME bold or italics. As expected, the bold and italics remain after the style has been applied. 2) I apply the style to a "Normal" paragraph that is ENTIRELY bold, italicized, or both. Word XP seems to treat the bold/ital as a modification of the "Normal" paragraph style ("Normal+Bold", say, for the whole para) instead of being character styles. Therefore, the style I applies wipes out the bold/ital. I guess I can see why that would happen. 3) This is the mystery. I have a row in a two-column table in which one cell is entirely bold and one is not. I merge the two cells, then replace the paragraph mark Word inserts with a tab, so it's all one paragraph. The resulting paragraph consists of non-bold text, then a tab, then bold text. Applying the style to this paragraph wipes out the bold. If I copy and paste this paragraph outside the table, the same thing happens. The end result is a sample file I can send in which there are two paragraphs, one from scenario 1 and one from scenario 3. They both LOOK the same--they're not bold until the last word. But applying the same style to each causes bold to be kept in the first case and dropped in the second. I know that scenario 3 is complicated, but I can't tell why the merging, find-and-replace of the tab, etc. would cause that paragraph to behave strangely. Finally, to conclude this epic post, this is not limited to any particular set of paragraphs--it happens consistently across many hundreds of pages of material. Anyway, the sample file is far easier to understand than this lengthy post, so let me know if you want to see it. Many thanks in advance--I'm afraid I really don't understand the "Paragraph Style + Character Style" issues at all. Ben Tag: microsoft word Tag: 105001

    - Is this possible or am I crazy? Hi Everyone, I work at a telephone call site. Currently we use a freeware program that uses the Net Send command in conjunction with a database that allows us to send instant pop up messages to individuals and preassigned groups of people. The problem I am running into is that every time IT pushes out an update I have to run around to apx 100 machines and reinstall the program. What I am wondering is do any one think it would be possible to convert this to a web page? I am a newbie to Front Page and know enough about Access to make me dangerous. :) I do have a couple of Front Page books to help me if any one thinks this project is even possible. What I visualize is a drop down box to select recipients an input area for the message and a button when clicked would send the message. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    - text box info depending on what is selected in a dropdown Hi there, this is my first post. I have to change my company's letterhead. At the moment it is on a basic word template so the secretary just has to type her boss' name next to the "please ask for" but my boss wants to change it so that each manager's direct dial number is shown underneath their particular name, so i've started a userform but am at a loss for what to do now!!

    - Determining length of line Word 2000 I want to use something other than the 3 characters provided as tab leader options. As an old C programmer, I outlined the algorithm I would use, but don't know if VBA has the right methods. If a method could return the 'length' of a line of text using a variable width font and then subtract that from the total length available (left margin to the leader tab), you could then divide that length by the width of my leader character to determine how many to insert. I am just thinking out of the box ;-) I imagine VBA can tell me the number of characters in a line, but for a non-fixed-width font, that won't help. I need it in pixels, or points, inches or some other "real" unit. Then it would need to iterate through each line of the selection and do the actual replacement. Possible?

    - Creating, Populating, and Using a 2-dimensional array I used to write in VB quite a bit (back in the 90s) but haven't had occasion to write anything in a while. Now I am trying to get my head back in the game. After surmounting the loss of Application.FileSearch with six hours of frustration until I found the Dir() command I thought I would ask a basic question prior to jumping into the frustration again. I have a set of files (143) that I have created using VB and three templates. The files are all named cryptically, for example: A26Checklist.doc A27Studyoutline.doc B01checklist.doc B02checklist.doc B03studyoutline.doc What I would like to do is cycle through the 143 files in the folder, open each one, take the first three characters of the document name, fill a variable with a text string based on the first three characters, do a little searching and replacing with the text string, and then close the document in question. I know how to cycle through the files using Dir(pathname & "*.doc). I know how to use the Mid() command to get my text strings out of the doc.name. I know how to do the searching and replacing once I have the text string in variable. But for some reason my aging brain isn't getting the right code for setting up and populating the array. I tried to get around the question by just creating a giant "Select Case" statement, but unfortunately VB won't let me do that inside of the "For...Next" loop that I wanted to do to go through the Dir()'s. The 3-character names and text strings all are unique: A26 = "EmergencyResponse" A27 = "Board Operation" B01 = "Unit Overview" B02 = "Unit Utilities" B03 = "Tank Gauging" This seems to be a natural two-dimensional array. The question is how do I define it and populate it? Then how do I get VB to give me, for example, "Tank Gauging" for the B03 code? I did a lot of searching in the internet before I thought to come look into Microsoft's online community. So perhaps I am just frustrated and should read all the strings in here. I would appreciate any help. Bill Dannenmaier Tag: microsoft word Tag: 104961

    - Create references to template files Hi We currently have a template (add-in) that runs when Word starts. It creates some new menus and shortcuts to other templates. A lot of our templates contain a AutoNew macro which does the same in all the templates. I would like to insert the AutoNew code in one template file and the call the code from all the other files. The only way I can see how to make a reference is in the Visual Basic editor under Tools -> References. But it seems to be a static reference I create, and I want to place the template containing all the macros in each users folder. The big question is.......

This code saves the input in document variables to allow the code to be rerun should the user get to the end and realise they forgot something. The rerun code works a treat - or at least it does in the one prototype template that I've done so far. ;) I also have a global 'toolkit' type template that's designed to make doing some key functions easier or just make Word work like it should work: e.g. insert/delete a landscape section without stuffing up everything; apply bullets/numbering using the 'List' styles instead of whatever Word wants to use; copy/reset the standard styles in a document. This works really well, too. But now for the tricky part... I know I could provide access to the rerun macro in each template in a variety of ways: add a custom button a standard toolbar or create a custom toolbar for each template or some such. However, since I'd rather not mess around with any of the standard toolbars (and have my Rerun Template button get lost in the clutter) and since I don't want to create a bunch of 1-button toolbars and since the toolkit already has a custom toolbar, what I'd really rather do is have a button on the Toolkit toolbar for invoking the rerun macro. But I have some concerns and questions. First, as would be expected, if just add a button to the Toolkit toolbar for the rerun macro in a specific template, it only works with a document based on that particular template. And since there are 11 templates, I would have to add 11 buttons and then trust the users (stop LAUGHING!!!) to click the right one or try to trap errors or show/hide buttons based on the attached template for a document... and I don't even want to think about what would happen if there were multiple documents open... GAHHH!!! So I reckon a better approach would be to have a macro (and associated button) in the toolkit template that just calls the rerun macro in the attached template. I can guarantee that the name of the macro in each template would be the same, so that's no problem. However, I'm concerned/unclear about: 1) how to check that the attached template does indeed contain a rerun macro; and 2) the actual syntax for calling the macro in the attached template. Suggestions? Recommendations? Or have I just spent too much time with the sheep and am now delusional to even consider it? -- Cheers! The Kiwi Koder Tag: microsoft word Tag: 104948

    - Drop down list size in a form Hello, I have a form with a drop down list with 63 entries. I found out that the drop down in a form will only accept 25 entries. This is really a very simple form and I was wondering if anyone has a good workaround to get more than 25 entries into a drop down list. Thank you for any help you can provide.

    - How do I lock the size of a drop down menu inserted in word? I'm a business process SME in my industry, but an intermediate level user of the Office tools. I'm building a mock web interface using Word 2003 and the various forms available. Is there a way to lock the size of a drop down menu I've inserted, (once I've sized it to fit the menu text content) without protecting the entire form (which appears to lock down the entire document) ?

    - Need Macro to UnBold TOC My TOC is bold and I want it unbold. All my Headings are Character Bold (from another application) so I changed all Heading Styles to be NOT bold so they remain bold. But the TOC stays bold independent of the style definition of bold or not bold. I can manually select the TOC an unbold it but would like a macro to select TOC an unbold it. Thanks Tag: microsoft word Tag: 104927

    - Working with SUBs Kinda new to writing subroutines within VBA. I didn't realize that all the module-level variables declared in the body of the procedure are not available to you in the SUB. I guess I have to pass any that are needed in the SUB, as arguments? Is there another technique? Tag: microsoft word Tag: 104924

    - Macro list drop down Hello, I think this is a really silly question but...I have created a form and within the form I have a text field for which I want to add a macro when a user enters the field. So I clicked on the drop down to pick the macro and I noticed that the way macros are listed makes no sense at all. The macros in normal.dot are for the most part just listed by themselves, i.e. without mentioning the module they're in. But then one of them is listed as <module name>.<macro name>. Some of the other listings sometimes include the name of the template, sometimes not. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how macros are listed. Could someone clarifiy this for me? Thanks very much. Tag: microsoft word Tag: 104920

This has to happen when the user opens the template, so it has to be done i VBA code. It also have to make a check to see if the commandbar is already in the normal.dot file.

You can't download Word for free anywhere (except some illegal pirate
sites). For a limited-time trial version of Office, go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101741481033.aspx. When the
trial expires, you'll have to pay for it or stop using it.

A free alternative is OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/).
