    - Running a Macro in a Template, on Event Hi. I have a macro that I've constructed in word which will insert bookmarks as per a table template that I've created in our Visual FoxPro based database/frontend. The Visual FoxPro frontend inserts this information into Word - and I've also instructed it to use a word template which contains my Macro The Macro works fine, but what I'm wanting to do is automate the process, rather than having to run the Macro once the document has been produced from FoxPro, using the .dot file. Is there any way to make this happen? I've tried several of the On-Events but none of them seem to work. What I basically want it to do, is once the Document has been opened and the information has been sent to it from our FoxPro database, that the Macro automatically runs Thanks in Advance David Bloch Houston Medical Tag: How to get the "next table" and the "previous table" Tag: 61290

    - Word Template - wanting to run a Macro on opening Hi I have a Word template that I've created which has a macro attached to insert bookmarks across a letter template we have in our database system. The database system uses the object libraries in Word to create the Word Document and can use a template to start its design with. This works fine and the Macro will work across the letter template we extract from our database. What I am wanting to do is make the code run automatically as soon as the template has been opened. Here is the code I have so far. Sub Bookmarks() 'Enter the number of lines in the letterhead. I.E six lines is 11 LineCount = 11 ' Pat Name Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Patient Name:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="patname" ' Your Ref Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Your Ref:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="yourref" ' Address Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Address:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="address" ' Our Ref Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Our Ref:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="ourref" 'DOB Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "DOB:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="dob" ' Reqdate Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Request Date:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="reqdate" ' Sex Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Sex:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="sex" ' CollectDate Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Collection Date:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="collectdate" ' Medicare Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Medicare No:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="medicare" ' RecDoc Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Receiving Doctor:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="recdoc" ' RecDocRef Bookmark Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="RecDocRef" ' CopyToDoc Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Copy To Doctor:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="copytodoc" ' CopyToDocRef Bookmark Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="copytodocref" ' Examination Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "Examination:" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="examination" ' Findings Bookmark Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=LineCount With Selection.Find .Text = "$$" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="Findings" ' Go Back to Top of Document Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToFirst End Sub With another part of code.

    - Not Visible Files I have a routine that performs functions A,B & C when a document is open (determined by "If Documents.count>0") and functions D,E & F when no documents are open (and the screen is 'grey'). Ocassionally a file that I opened in VBA with the "visible:=False" method set apparently is still technically open although it appears not to be (i.e., the screen is grey) (and it is not supposed to be. The routine that was supposed to close it did not.) How can I test for the existence of an open, not visible document.and then close it? Documents.count always returns 1 in this situation but if I try to close the ActiveDocument I get a runtime error saying that the function cannot be performed because no document is open.

    - VBScript: Printing question... I have some VBScript (in an Outlook Form), that calls "CreateObject("Word.Application"). The script processes some data then at the end of the procedure prints out the result. This works fine on my local machine, however, if another user attempts the same process it does not print the output. Ref: [msgbox "Printing to " & objWord.ActivePrinter] below... I added the msgbox, and now verified that on each machine the correct printer is configured (or displayed) in the msgbox. But, the form does not print. What I observe is; the item shows up in the respective printer queue(s) (but only for a very brief second) then vanishes and nothing prints... Suggestions/comments? Current working code (except printing on other machines...) '----------------------Printing Routine------------------------ Dim objWord Dim strTemplate Dim strField Dim strField1 Dim objDoc Dim objMark Dim mybklist Dim counter Sub cmdPrint_Click() Item.Save Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") ' Put the name of the Word template that contains the bookmarks strTemplate = "OSR.dot" ' Location of Word template; could be on a shared LAN strTemplate = "\\ivory\forms\" & strTemplate Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(strTemplate) Set mybklist = objDoc.Bookmarks For counter = 1 to mybklist.count Set objMark = objDoc.Bookmarks(counter) strField = objMark.Name If strField = "SentField" then strField1 = CStr(Item.SentOn) Else strField1 = Item.UserProperties(strField) End If objMark.Range.InsertBefore strField1 Next msgbox "Printing to " & objWord.ActivePrinter objDoc.PrintOut objWord.Quit(0) End Sub Thanks VERY much, in advance!

    - Tab Position Hi, I am new to VBA in Word. Would anyone be able to answer this: If I have two tabs and I am at the position starting at the second tab, how can I determine in VBA if there is anything at the first tab on the next line. For example: Tab 1 Tab 2 Line 1 Some Text Some other text Line 2 Yet more text If there is a paragraph mark at the end of "Some other text" on Line 1, when I return to the start of the next line, how can I determine if there is anything at Tab 1 for the second line? I hope I am explaining this clear enough! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: How to get the "next table" and the "previous table" Tag: 61278

    - identifying most recently used symbol (via VBA) in MSO2003, as shown in the insert symbol dialogue box Does anyone know where the information for the most recently used symbol can be accessed via VBA? It must be stored somewhere, because it is the leftmost symbol of the recently used symbols in the insert symbol dialogue box. I often use the same symbol lots of times in a single document, so I want to assign a macro to a custom button that simply inserts whatever the last symbol was that was inserted in the document. It'll still be better than using the keyboard shortcut, for example [<alt>+0176], assuming I could even remember the keyboard shortcut... :-/ Thanks!

    - Macros I am trying to make two simple macros which do not seem to work. If you can help I would really appreciate it. (1) I am trying to make a macro to go into Edit, Paste Special, Unformatted Text. Every time I try to do it, the macro runs with the text formatted. (2) Word's toolbar print button when pressed, automatically prints the page without giving you the Print dialog box first. So I am trying to make a macro to print with the dialog box opening so I can then put it on the toolbar. But I cannot end the macro with the dialog box open - it won't allow it.

Right now, it does the first line and then a message pops up asking me if I want to continue searching the rest of the documnet. If I click no, the macro stops. If I click yes, the macro finds "-" and replaces with a space. I need the macro to somehow automatically quit finding "-" and return to the beginning of the macro and continue on until there are no more URLs in the document. The URLs look like this: [http://mydomain.com/this-page.html] [http://mydomain.com/this-other-page.html] And I'm trying to get: [http://mydomain.com/this-page.html] this page [http://mydomain.com/this-other-page.html] this other page Any help is greatly appreciated.

    - Regex & Wildcards Hey, I need to find the following by matching Wild Cards. 1.1 mol/L 1 mol/L 1mol/L 1.1 mol /L 1 mol /L 1mol /L 1.1 mol / L 1 mol / L 1mol / L 1.1 mol/ L 1 mol/ L 1mol/ L A sentence could contain any one this. For instance "James drank a solution of Nitrogen Peroxide with a concentration of 5.15 mol/L". This is what I could come up with: ([0-9.]@)( @)(mol/L) Takes care of any numerals / decimals but does not account for: a) The space between the number and mol/L (It looks for one space or more but there is a possibility that a space might not exist like 1.1mol/L) b) It strictly looks for mol/L and can't account for mol / L, mol/ L or mol /L. In order to use this, I would have to repeat each instance with appropriate spaces! Questions: 1) How do I write a single Wildcard match for all the possibilities listed above? 2) How can I say "Optional" in Regex. Eg. Di[peg] could be anyone of "Dig" "Dip" or "Die". But I need to say that "Di" may or may not be followed by "p" "e" or "g". In Perl, I would say "(Di)([epg])*" How do I say that in VBA? Thanks a lot for your time / any reponse.

    - Word (.doc) -> Text (.txt) conversion I'm running a large site which received many .doc files daily which need to be converted into plain text, the purpose of which is to supply data for the site's search engine which then points users to the appropriate .doc files. The raw text is also needed to populate HTML preview pages for the .doc files. My question is simple - what is the easiest (preferably server side) method for converting .doc files into raw text. I'm running Windows server so I presume that .doc API and script commands would be fairly easy to implement. If a server side solution is impossible then a locally executed method could fit the bill too. It just needs to be QUICK and AUTOMATED. I'm not going to copy and paste from MS Word into Notepad for 10 hours every day. Any suggestions kindly requested.

It is not a formfield because my list needs to consist of more than 25 members. As a result, I inserted a VBA control directly into the document. After doing this, I initialized the objects in the normal way, but haven't been able to isolate the code to return the current value. I was able to determine that controls inserted in this fashion are viewed programmatically as an inlineshape, and so far everything points to this being correct. Unfortunately I haven't found any documentation where the inlineshape is anything other than a graphic object. Could it be... activedocument.inlineshapes(1).???? Can someone please send me in the right direction? Desperate for help! Thanks, Jill Tag: How to get the "next table" and the "previous table" Tag: 61186

    - How to resize a picture? In Word 2000 I have a macro to insert an picture that the user chooses, select the picture , and then make the height 1" (72 pt) - keeping the width proportional. I then want the macro to look at whether the width is greater than 320 pt and if so, make the width exactly 320 pt - keeping the height proportional (which means it will end up less than 1" - that's ok). The first set of steps below work - the picture change to 1" high. The second set of steps does not give an error message but does not do anything. What do I need to do to make the macro resize the picture to 320 pt wide, keeping the height proportional? TIA, Vivian Carroll 'SELECT & FORMAT THE PICTURE TO BE 1" HIGH - these steps work With Selection .MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend .InlineShapes(1).Width = Selection.InlineShapes(1).Width * 72 / _ Selection.InlineShapes(1).Height .InlineShapes(1).Height = 72 'CHANGE THE PICTURE TO BE ABOUT 3.2" WIDE IF IT IS WIDER THAN 3.2" - these steps don't work If .InlineShapes(1).Width > 320 Then .InlineShapes(1).Height = Selection.InlineShapes(1).Height * 320 / _ Selection.InlineShapes(1).Width .InlineShapes(1).Width = 320 End If End With End Sub Tag: How to get the "next table" and the "previous table" Tag: 61184

    - VBScript and a Merge Doc I found the answer to this question several months ago but with the newsgroup revamp I can't find it again so I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this. I am using a link to open a word application merge document, however with the new install of MS Word the document will not open as a merge form. The solution to this was to edit the registry entry, apparently in some patch or another they disabled this for security reasons. Can anyone point me at the knowledge base article, or give me the regedit instructions for this? New machine and user and the old tech who had the documentation is gone and so are the instructions.

    - Help checking for printers in Word VBA I have a macro that was written to extract a printer name from a custom document property embedded in a Word file and set the printer to print to based on that name. All of that is working just fine... my problem comes when the printer named in the custom document property does not exist on the current machine. Whenever this happens, I would like to simply use the default printer on the current machine instead. I'm not really sure how to check if a particular printer exists or not. Can anyone help? My code is listed below... feel free to offer any suggestions on the current working stuff too as I am a C# programmer and the syntax here is foreign to me. -------------------------------------------------------- Sub SubPrint() Dim sMyActivePrinter As String Dim iMyCopies As Integer Selection.Collapse sMyActivePrinter = ActivePrinter iMyCopies = 1 For Each prop In ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties proptest = prop.Name If proptest = "PrintCopies" Then iMyCopies = prop.Value End If If proptest = "Printer" Then ActivePrinter = prop.Value End If Next prop Application.PrintOut FileName:="", _ Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=iMyCopies, _ Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ Collate:=True, Background:=True, _ PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, _ PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 ActivePrinter = sMyActivePrinter End Sub Tag: How to get the "next table" and the "previous table" Tag: 61159

    - Printer Duplex Hello, I've a problem with my SetPrinterDuplex function use. (See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q230743) I want to print a file with duplex option. So, I use the function like this: SetPrinterDuplex PrinterName, 2 Then I print with printout: Application.PrintOut Background:=False, Copies:=NumberOfCopies (that is a var declared upper in my code). And then, I want to go back to no duplex settings with SetPrinterDuplex PrinterName, 1 The problem is that the document is not printed on both side. If I remove the last line, it works fine. So I suppose my problem occurs because the 2nd setprinterduplex switch the property too quickly. Is it ? Does someone have a solution ?

The pseudocode is nice, but the Table object doesn't have a Next
method. Try this instead:

Function NextTable() As Table
Dim oTab As Table
Dim nIndex As Long

Set oTab = Nothing ' not really necessary
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
' get index of table containing selection
nIndex = ActiveDocument.Range(0, _
Selection.Tables(1).Range.End).Tables.Count

' get the next table (if any)
If nIndex < ActiveDocument.Tables.Count Then
Set oTab = ActiveDocument.Tables(nIndex + 1)
End If
End If
Set NextTable = oTab
Set oTab = Nothing
End Function

Sub test()
Dim myTab As Table
Set myTab = NextTable()
If Not (myTab Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox myTab.Cell(1, 1).Range.Text
myTab.Cell(1, 1).Range.Select
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
End If
End Sub

The technique for getting the absolute index of the selected table is
