    - Counting Characters automatically Hello Developers Is there a way in MS-Word 97 and up to count the number of characters automatically in real time as they are being typed. For example: If I have a document that must be 2000 characters long, I would like to count the characters so that when the user gets to 1990, I start flashing messages for the user to stop typing soon before the text becomes longer than 2000 characters. I am hoping to be able to have this happen dynamically as the user types, vs having the user hit a button to fire a macro and then the count will come out. So I think I need an event of a KeyDown or a keyboard buffer or any help from you. Thanks a lot. Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54264

    - Q. I'd like to be able to do these things with my Word 2000 Hi, Please explain the following, if you can: How can I make my Word 2000 application open up, just showing the text, when I double-click on an html file? Also, if I wanted to automatically update some text strings in that or any html file, like the replacement of certain text strings, would it require any VBA programming, macros, etc. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but's that all I have, right now.

    - Add-in: Remove Hidden Data PROBLEMS Hello, Our firm has installed globally the Office 2003/XP Add-in: Remove Hidden Data. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=144e54ed-d43e-42ca-bc7b-5446d34e5360&displaylang=en There seems to be major problems with this. If any 2 applications try and launch word you get an error to save normal.dot. For instance Outlook launches winword. If you have word as your default mail editor. Then we have a custom application that launches word. Here is the code. Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set wordDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("c:\x.doc") wordDocument.Save wordDocument.Activate wordDocument.Close False oWordApp.Quit If you run outlook then this code you will get a message that normal.dot is locked and prompt to save it. If you un-install the Add-in: Remove Hidden Data everything works fine. Why does the add-in seem like it is trying to modify the normal.dot? I can understand when you first install it? But why always? Anyone else see this? MS - do you have a fix yet for this? Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54255

    - Replace all stories by pasting modified stories over originals? Hello, I'm trying to write a macro that will do the following: 1. Copy all of a document (including headers and footnotes, etc.) into an untitled blank document in a separate window. (This part is easy Ctrl-A, Ctrl-N, Ctrl-V does the job, producing this code: Selection.WholeStory Selection.Copy Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault) 2. Make some changes in the untitled copy of the original document and ask the user to approve the modified version. 3. Select and copy all of the changed untitled copy, close the untitled document, and paste the changed version over the orginal document, replacing the original copy. Unfortunately, when I do this, only the main story in the original document is replaced; the modified versions of the headers and footers and footnotes are not changed. Is there a way to select every story in the original document, and paste over all of them? Am I missing something really obvious here? Many thanks for any help.

    - Find invisible symbol fields in WP files imported in Word 2002? I'll be very grateful for any help with this frustrating problem that involves a special kind field in Word 2002 that is normally invisible - and that can't be revealed by any combination of the F9 key. This problem does not seem to occur with versions earlier or later than Word 2002 (XP) When you import a WordPerfect 5.x file into Word 2002, and the original file contains typographic symbols like curly quotation marks or dashes, Word 2002 does NOT convert the symbol into the equivalent native character in the current font, but instead creates an invisible field that takes the place of the original symbol. For the em-dash, for example, something that looks like an em-dash appears on screen and on the page, but it's not the same as Word's em-dash character; it's really a field, although nothing on screen shows that it's a field. So, if the original WP document contains an em-dash, you can't search and replace the em-dash in Word by entering ^+ in the search field (by using Find/More/Special), as you can to search for a real em-dash - and as far as I can tell, you can't search for the WP-imported em-dash at all. And you can't search for the invisible field by entering ^d either. If you copy the imported em-dash from the text and paste it into the Find field, you get an upper-case C, which doesn't help at all. You can't reveal these fields by using any combination of the F9 keys, but I found that you can see them by saving the file in WinWord 2.0 format and reopening it in Word 2002. (CrossEyes from www.levitjames.com also displays the fields.) At this point, you can see that (for example) a quotation mark imported from WP is really a field that looks like this: {symbol 65\f "WP Typographic Symbols"\s 12} But you can't search for this field by using "^d symbol" in the Find dialog. You CAN search them if you add a space after the opening brace and before the closing brace, but I can't find a way to add those spaces automatically. Question: is there a way to use VBA to find these fields and replace these hidden fields with the native Windows characters? I'd like to have a macro that will replace invisible fields containging quotation marks, section marks, paragraph marks, em and en dashes when a WP file is opened in Word 2002. Fixing them by hand is a bit time-consuming! Thanks for any help anyone can give. Edward Mendelson Contributing Editor PC Magazine Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54214

    - Single and double data types Hi I have a theoretical question on this subject but I'm naff at maths so don't laugh. From a book, I can see that the lower and upper limits of a single data type is -3.402823E38 to - 1.401298E-45 for negative values 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values I don't even know how to do calculations with exponents on my computer to check for myself but what I'd like to know is a How do - exponents work eg 10 to the power of 2 = 100 10 to the power of -2 = ? b Do the limits of a single or double data type leave a 'gap' in between? ie A short data type (-32,768 to 32767) can clearly handle any figure in between but this isn't so clear for me with regards to floating point data types where there seems to be a gap. Why not -0.000000 and 0.000000 or sth similar? Thanks and remember what Einstein4S Maths teacher said about him when he was 16 (ok I ain't 16 anymore but...)

    - Loops that zero themselves? Hi The following code in a Visual Basic Net book Dim I As Integer , X As Integer For I = 1 to 3 For X = 1 to 3 Debug.Write("I = " & I & vbCrLf) Debug.Write("X = " & X & vbCrLf) produces I = 1 X = 1 I = 1 X = 2 I = 1 X = 3 I = 2 X = 1 I = 2 X = 2 I = 2 X = 3 I = 3 X = 1 I = 3 X = 2 I = 3 X = 3 I get the gist of this but I am surprised by line 8( X + 1 [again]) There is no code that has actually stipulates that X should return to zero. I would have been less surprised if X had proceeded to 4 and the code had refused to execute after line 8 Can sm give us a quick explanation please?

    - Creating secured word "Viewers" Has anyone built or came accross a way to share documents by creating a "viewer" type application. Issue: We sell a tool that produces high value documents. We have automated a complex sales process: ROI to the point that a large sales force can get by with only one user liscense. I am attempting to account for all of the true users of the documents. One solution would be to create a vba application that the user must sign into before opening the document. The sign in data gets validated against a web database server. The users must buy the viewer. We already have the technology in place to link the activated application to the cpu to prevent multiple users from sharing one sign on.

Once unlocked, is there an easy way to designate sections of the document, that when "clicked in", would automatically lock the document down again?

    - Line feed in wdDialogFileSummaryInfo.Title field? I'm building a template for documentation. I'm using a tree control on a user form to allow the user to select from a list of products. I'm storing the product name in the Title field. I'm using the contents of the Title field for the title on the cover page of documents based on my template. Sometimes the text I have to put there is too long for the available space and the line wraps. I want to be able to control the point where the line wraps. For example, rather than having something like: "Product Family Product Variation Name" I need to have: "Product Family Product Variation Name" Right now I'm populating the tree control from an extensive collection of Add statements but I wrote those before I realized the line wrapping would be problematic. The tree control doesn't care about line wrapping... it just puts horizontal scroll bars in place to allow me to see the whole text string. So now, I've got the text that I want to use in a spreadsheet in two columns... Line One and Line Two. What I figure I'm going to have to do is examine the contents of the Line Two column and if there's text there, I want a line break before it. I wouldn't mind being able to populate the tree control out of the same spreadsheet file but that's not a dealbreaker. So what's the best approach I can take to make this happen? Do I need to abandon the concept of using the Title field? Is it possible to both populate the tree control (without line breaks) and create the value to insert in the Title field (with line breaks) from the same spreadsheet?

    - Pausing Macro, Returning to Pause Point I am working on automating a document compilation task. The number of potential documents to be included in the single document number in the hundreds, and eventually each document will be automated as well before inclusion in the final compilated document. It is unlikely a user would be able to complete the process in a single sitting, both because of the number of documents involved but also because the user may not have all of the information needed to complete the task and may have to look something up. On a userform, I would like to be able to give the user the option to quit and return to the project later where they left off. Basically, I have one userform where the user selects the documents to be included in the project. When the user selects "OK", the documents selected begin compiling. When a document is reached that is automated, a userform for that document appears, the user makes the appropriate selections and that document is then added. The process continues when the user closes the userform until the last document selected has been added. I can save the values of the userform so that if the user quits he can return to the userform with the values he selected saved. The problem is that if a user quits, he quits in the middle of a macro that is running. Is it possible to not only return the values entered on the userform, but to also be able return to the point in the macro where the macro quit running when the user quit?

    - Document variables I am having problems assigning the value of document variables to a text box in VBA. It seams that the active document index for a document variable changes every time I create a document variable. For example, when I start creating variables the first one is usually indexed as 1 then the next would be 2 and then I find that it jumps a few, then when I create a few more variables the active document index goes wild and I am unable to access the variables. The question: How do I find out what active document variable index number each of the document variables is at and is there another way of getting the value of the document variables in VBA. Before the document variable idea, I was using the includeText field to map to external files. The problem with the includeText field feature is that it is not portable. What I would like to do is make the path changeable in VBA. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54137

    - Creating Auto Section Headers I use Word 2000 to create time lines of criminal investigation, which often exceed 50 pages in length. Because of the extensive detail in which each event is described, it is not uncommon for several pages in a row to be without a section heading. This results in reader often loosing track of where they are chronologically in the document. Therefore, I am trying to figure out a way to print the most recent Level 1 section heading, which is the date, as a header atop each page. This would allow the reader to see where they are at anytime, just as one can do by referencing the top of a page in a dictionary and seeing the first and last words listed on the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Christian Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54131

    - How to identify 1st blank row in an Excel spreadsheet? Anyone know how to do this via VBA? I'm using a macro to define a print area by specifying columns but I'm pulling blank rows in the resulting printout. Is there a way to get Excel to ignore blank rows in a print area? In this case, the blanks are at the bottom of the spreadsheet so if I could tell me the last row containing data (or the first blank row), it would work. But I may also need to find a way to skip blank rows within a spreadsheet for another situation. Thanks, JoAnn Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54125

    - The Next Level Hi, I am applying some of my limited skills to create a macro that will tally checkboxes in a Table column. The following is working good. I became interested in the line Sub TallyColumnOfCheckboxes() Dim cTotal As Integer, i As Integer cTotal = 0 For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count On Error Resume Next cTotal = cTotal - ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell _ (i,1).Range.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value On Error GoTo 0 Next i ActiveDocument.FormFields("Total").Result = cTotal End Sub I became interested in the line: (i,1).Range.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value and was wondering how would I extend this macro to count each checkbox in a cell if the cell contain multiple checkboxes. I deduce that this would require replacing .FormFields(1) with something like .FormFields (j) creating a For j = to .... but I can't get my head around it. Ideas?

Now I'd like to have a logo picture ABOVE the table but it keeps putting it INTO a cell of the table.

    - updatable link to MS Access field ? Hello, BRIEF DESCRIPTION: How can I insert in Word a 'dynamic' link to a particular field in an Access Database? LONG DESCRIPTION: We're faced with the following issue for a big documentation project. Basically, the project would consist of maintance documentation which would be stored in: - several hundreds of Word files, containing descriptions, removal procedures, etc. - an Access database containing (among other things) a table with 2 fields: ToolNumber and ToolDescription. In the Word documents, we would like to insert one or more tool numbers and tool descriptions, as retrieved from the database. For example, through some Word VBA form, the author would selected tool number "T103" and at the current position in his document this tool number "T103" and corresponding description "Torque wrench M=30 Nm" would be inserted. The problem is that we want this to be 'dynamic': if the description of the tool is changed in the Database, then the description should change in the Word document as well. Either upon opening of the Word document or after some kind of command (e.g. F9 or VBA macro, or ...) My idea is upon inserting in Word to put the tool number text and description text in a specific style (e.g. "ToolStyle") and write a Word VBA application that will: - scan the document for this style, - look up the toolnumber in the Access Database, - retrieve the (new) description, - and (if changed) replace the old description in Word. I'm not sure this is the best possible solution. Does anybody has some easier or/and more bulletproof or/and non-VBA solutions, that will do the job? Maybe a special Word field exist to link Database fields? Really appreciating any thoughts and ideas, Ward Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54106

    - Section TOC Hi I am using Word XP. I would like to automate my procedure of inserting a table of contents relating to an individual section. Currently I highlight the section, name it as a boomark, insert a table of contents at the top of the section (underneath the heading)and then modify the field code to only look for data in the bookmark:-see below {TOC \h \z \t "Section Sub Heading,2" \b SectionTwo} Section Sub Heading is the name of my style I wish to be listed in my Section TOC. \b is the switch, followed by the name of the bookmark SectionTwo What I would like to be able to do is automate the whole procedure. Here is my idea, I would really appreciate some advice on whether you think this is a good way to go about it and also some advice on a couple of commands I have been unable to find information about. I have the code for finding the number of sections in my document, I will then loop through each section in the document highlighting each section and naming it as a boomark. I would like the name of the bookmark to be the number of the section (Section2,section7 etc..) How do I find out the number of the section I have highlighted?? I can then insert an extra paragraph after the first paragraph then insert a TOC. How is best to automate the insertion of a TOC and then add the switch \b followed by the name of the current section bookmark. I am really trying to decide whether automating this procedure will be worthwhile. I would be grateful fo any input. Thanks very much for your time. Kerry.

    - Incrementing an invoice number every time the template is printed Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me with the below problem I am having. I would like to create a template with an invoice number incrementing. I have the coding to do this via a macro that the invoice number increments every time you open the template. What I would like to do instead is after having created a bookmark for the invoice number, that every time I print the template (for example ... 20 pages), the invoice number increments, saves to the bookmarked area and to a text file. If I was to open and print the template again (for example ... another 20 pages) then the invoice number will continue to increment (I.e. 21, 22, 23 etc) from the previous time the template was opened. I am hoping I can have this problem solved as soon as possible. I thank you in advance for any help you can offer me. Tag: how to move a shape from a page to another page? Tag: 54101

We use a dot net application to create a mail merge and when the user chose so can view the merged document with all the bookmarks populated with appropriate data. The user does not want to be able to edit the merge document. Is there any way to control that through the word object model in dot net or through IE?

    - Win/Word XP *always* asks for Enable - any help? Ever since I was "upgraded" to Windows XP Pro and Word XP, I've tried unsuccessfully to get Word to recognize my macros on opening. I can not get a digital signature to stick. I've tried various methods from this NG and the KB, but no go. Besides just wanting to hit a custom button without having to enable macros, this really hampers automating from VB6. Any code trying to open Word for the first time gets hit with the Enable Macros box. If I have to be there to hit Enable, I've defeated half my automation! Any suggestions?

Hi,
I don't think you can move a shape from one page
to the other programmatically. You can cut and
paste it, though.
By using e.g., as one might try,
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 600 (or greater)
the shape seems to be placed outside the page. It
is still there and can be brought back, but is
unvisible.
ActiveDocument.UndoClear clears the undo buffer.
