    - scheduling a macro in word Hi I am using windows XP And Office XP. I have a document created in Microsoft Word called Monthly News.doc . It is obviously a monthly newsletter for my company. Each month I send it out as a mail merge to 250 people on my mailing list. I have a macro called Send_news that automatically prints this merge out. I want to schedule this event so that it runs automatically on the 30th of each month whether I am there or not. I want it to open the document monthly news and start the macro called send_news and then close word when it is completed. Can you help me with the visual basic code or can this be done in an easier method? Thanks Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60137

    - Controlling footers in code (Word 97) I have a template consisting mostly of 3 tables; normally, they all fit on one page, and there's a footer with a couple of signature blocks on it. I load these tables with data from an Access database, using OLE. I don't want to split a table over a page, so what I want to do is insert a page break just before the third table when there is more data than will fit on one page. If this happens, I don't want to print the footer on page 1. If it doesn't, and it all fits on one page, I do want to print the footer. I can figure out how to insert the break, but I can't seem to find anything on how to turn a footer on and off. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- Peter L Reader, posting from stormy Portland, Oregon preader@pacifier.com Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60133

    - Help! - Is there a way to save font + size across system? Is there anywhere to permanently set the 'font' and the 'size of font' for all word documents on my system? It seems there is already a default of 'Courier - 10' that every new document opens in that format and is saved that way. I would like to adjust the font and size to be larger across the board. Or at least to be larger when viewing them. You can adjust the size of fonts for all other programs using Control Panel - including for Internet Explorer and the general look of the computer. However, Word remains in smaller text no matter what I do. Hope this makes sense to someone that can help. Please respond. Thanks! Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60122

    - Text Form Field I am making a template in Word 2000. I am using text form fields. I need further formatting for two types of form fields than it seems I can get thru the form field options. One, I want a number mask like a SSN. ###-##-####. Enter nine numbers and it adds the dashes. Two, using regular text, I want one character to be entered, only selecting from the characters A,B, or C. Anything else won't work. Is there any way to set this up? Thanks.

    - Return to the previous document I am trying to write a macro where I start from an open document. Then I open another document containing a grid that must be inserted into the first document. I copy the grid and return to the first document, paste the grid, then close the document containing the grid. My problem is returning to the first document. When I use the macro recorder, the line reads: Windows("Document2").Activate The document I want to return to is not necessarily name "Document2". How do I return to whatever the original document is? Thanks so much. Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60115

    - Making Find and Replace dialog always open in enlarged view In Word 97, how can I alter the EditFind and EditReplace commands so that the Find dialog box always opens in its "More" state, with the formatting and other options displayed? I don't want to use SendKeys for this (using the SendKeys statement to activate the "More" button which opens the enlarged view) because SendKeys do not work in a macro that is run by a keystroke, and I only used the keystroke commands (Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H) to run the Find dialog box.

Else gsKeyFindings = sFile & "#KeyFindings" End If Else gsKeyFindings = sFile & "#_Toc69698351" End If End If The Word document is not opening correctly TIA Terry Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60094

    - Saving .dot files Any brilliant person out there who can make a "save as .dot" macro, that will automatically retain the original file name and file location, and save it as a .dot file? Bacground of why I would need such a thing is below. Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts anyone can offer! We use a lot of templates in Word. We are on Word 2003. Starting when we moved to Word XP, I have encountered a problem where my .dot files do not want to save correctly. In Word 97, if I opened my .dot file, it would open as .dot, I could work on it, and it would save as .dot. No problem. Now, for some reason, Word wants to save it as a .doc. Sometimes it warns me it is doing this, sometimes not. :( Even better, sometimes it *appears* to be a .dot, but it behaves like a .doc. Of course, several features of a template don't work correctly if it's not saved in the correct .dot format (for instance, the "createdate" field). I tried changing my default file format to be .dot, but that was a pain because then all my regular documents want to default to be saved in my personal templates folder. I tried changing my templates location so it at least pointed to the highest level of our shared templates, but that made it so my personal autotext and personal toobars didn't work (since my Normal.dot is saved in my templates directory. I can't save my Normal in the shared drive, I don't think, since that would probably over-ride everyone's personal Normal? I was afraid to try that.) The only way around this seems to be to always do a "save as" and specifically choose the .dot extension. Unfortunately, this automatically takes me to my personal templates folder (instead of the shared templates folder it originated from) so I have to re-navigate back to the correct folder (we have multiple folders for our shared templates, so they are split out onto separate tab in the Templates window) and then save. This is a pain. It's far more than a pain when Word sneakily makes a .dot file into a .doc and loses autotext and macros built into that file. (Yes, it should warn me, but it doesn't always do so. Really, I swear. I know you don't beleive me, but it's true. I have reported it to MS on their website, but to date have not seen anything in the Knowledgebase addressing it.) I'm sure this is some problem with our MS Word, but no one in my company's Tech Support wamts spend any time on the phone with Microsoft for this, since I'm the only one here who works on our templates. So, after struggling with this for a year or so, thinking maybe I would get used to it, or maybe I was crazy and it would finally stop doing it, I'm looking for other options. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60086

So does the toolbar macro, as long as I'm opening the original template file for editing.

    - Combining document with disparate styles I'm working on a project where I'm automatically combining two or more documents and I need to apply a consistent font throught the combined document. The problem is that doc A may have a style named X that uses a Helvetica font while doc B will have a style named Y that uses a Times Roman font. I have to apply a common style, but first I need to determine if these styles should be the same or if one is a heading style and the other a body text style. And I also won't know at runtime what styles to expect from the various documents I'll be assembling. Is the only solution to this problem to iterate through all the styles in a given document and do some basic heuristics on the discovered styles? For example, look at the properties of style X and decide if it is a heading style and then change the style a more generic style that is the best fit. Or would it be simpler to just update the font of all styles to use a pre-determined font family? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    - Merging two documents A friend of mines asked me to help him with this project. We have two separate word documents.

What we'd like to do is open both of these documents behind the scenes. If we have matching titles we want to create a third document that includes the movietitle from movietitles.doc and underneath the title we want to indent and include all of the movieinfo from the movie info from the movieinfo.doc We want the text bold and changed to the color blue. Finally we'd like to save this as a third document. So far they've been doing this manually. in my mind this process is screaming for automation. Any advise with this process is welcome.

    - Margins of section xx error message Hi, I am using Word automation to print documents to a PDF driver and on some documents I am having a problem with the "Margins of section x lie outside the printable region". The problem I have is that I only get this on some machines (the ones I need to use!) and not on others. For example on a Win 2K machine with Word 2003 installed I get the error, but if I take the same document to an XP machine with Word 2003 installed the document prints OK to the same PDF driver. Changing to an alternative suppliers PDF driver does not cure the problem. I have tried changing normal.dot do that it is the same on both machines but this has no effect.I have made sure Page Setup has no margins, etc,etc. The PDF drivers are the same on both machines, Word has the same Service Pack level. This is driving me crazy as the production machines for this all need to be Windows 2K. Does anyone know what settings Word takes into account when produciing this message ? From trawling the Newgroups it appears that this helpfull message can not be supressed. Is this correct ? Thanks Iain Hamilton Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60056

    - Text Selection with VBA Hello, I am new to VBA in Word and I was wondering if=20 someone could help me please! I have a string in a Word document that I want to copy=20 from Word and then copy to an Excel worksheet. But the=20 string has a hard return at the end of it. So how do I=20 copy from the beginning of the string to the hard return?=20 I know the position in the document that the string starts=20 at but I do not know how to copy only to the carriage=20 return. For examle, when you select "Show/Hide =B6" to Show=20 it looks like: 125 North Street=B6 How do I use VBA to select only up to the hard return? I=20 hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60011

    - alphabetize mail merge I am developing a mail merge catalog in Word and using a query in Access as my data source. The table that the query references in Access is alphabetized by last name, the query in Access is alphabetized by last name, but the mail merge catalog prints in the order that the records were entered, rather than alphabetical order. How can I get the mail merge catalog to print in alphabetical order? Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60007

    - Range Object positioning trouble Hi everybody! I've got some troubles, working with Range: Here is a code context: .. Call Word.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add("A" & CStr(iter), Word.ActiveDocument.Range(bmStart, bmStop)) .. bmStart and bmStop are changing from 0 to ActiveDocumet.Characters.Count, and mark parts of the document with different formatting. For the majority of test documents that works perfectly: I get Bookmark from Character # bmStart (incl) to Character # bmStop (incl), but for the moment I've got a document, for which from the very beginning of the document it works as Range from Character # (bmStart - 1) (incl) to Character # (bmStop - 1) (incl). Any specific features about this very document I've not found. Why could it be? Thanks, Alex Tag: microsoft words Tag: 60002

    - How to handle add-in clash I've just discovered that a template I distribute is clashing with Acrobat 6. When someone who has installed Acrobat 6 and its Word add-in creates a document based on my template, all is fine. But when that user saves the document, and then reopens it, my menu doesn't display, even tho I have code in my auto-open routine to display the menu if it isn't on the menu bar. When such users disable the Acrobat add-in, all is fine. So there's clearly a clash with something Acrobat is doing, but I don't know what that is. Question: is the appropriate way to handle this clash to have my autoopen function unload the Acrobat add-in, or is there some better way to handle this? thanks, gary Tag: microsoft words Tag: 59998

    - >> Macro buttons Hi, I have a template the includes two macro buttons, each with code. The idea is that a user will choose one button to remove content. When a new document is created from the template there is no code for each of these buttons. When I check the template the code still exists for these buttons. How can I set up this template so that these buttons actually have code? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-) Cheers Jonathan Tag: microsoft words Tag: 59996

    - List template funkiness in Word 2003 At work, we are in the process of switching from Office 2000 to Office 2003. Part of that process is making sure that all of the macro solutions we use with Word will operate correctly under Office 2k3. Problem is, they don't and I can't quite figure out why. Here's the setup... Originally started in Word 97, we have a set of macros that provide the user with a choice of templates to use with their documents. These templates all have different body text styles, heading styles, TOC styles, outline numbering styles, etc. The users have the ability to switch templates from a drop down menu in a toolbar and all of the styles in their document will change accordingly. It was tought to get it so that the numbering would change correctly, but we finally got it working and it's worked fine now for 2+ years. Under Word 2k3, however, not everything works the way it should. Specifically, the outline numbering associated with the heading styles does not switch when the user selects a different template. Or rather, it switches properly sometimes, other times it doesn't switch at all or switches to an incorrect numbering style. When we set up the templates and styles, we defined the outline numbering through the style definition rather than through the Numbers and Bullets dialog because everything I'd found on the net said to avoid the latter and just define the numbering as part of my styles. After some tweaking and banging my head against my desk, I actually got it to work quite well. My question is this: Did something change internally that might affect this process? It works fine in Word 97 and Word 2000, but falls to pieces in Word 2003. I remember having to code around problems when we moved to 2k, so maybe there's some change I'll have to account for in 2k3?

    - Print a picture Box Image Dear Group I have created a scrollable picture in my application, ie a picture box as a member of another picture box, a couple of scroll bars and now I have a scrollable bitmap image larger than my screen. I would now like to be able to print it but the only example of how to do this is Q230502 - How To Print a Form That Is Too Large for the Screen or Page. By following this example with my setup picture box within picture box, I can only print the visible area and not the entire picture. When I follow the example in the exercise it works, however the picture boxes are separate and not with one as a member of another. Can I print the entire bitmap image in my setup? The article states that: Because the PictureBox's bitmap is stored in a device context in memory, you have access to the entire bitmap regardless of what is displayed. Is this still true in my current setup? If it is not possible can the group think of a workaround? Thanks again... Kagsy Tag: microsoft words Tag: 59992

You can download a trial version of Office 2003 Standard (which includes
Word 2003) from http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx. You
cannot download (at least not legally) a full version of Word from anywhere.
