    - Positioning objects in a word document Hello there ill cut strait to the chase. I am trying to add, sequentially, objects to a word document. but when I add these objects, tables in this example, it adds them to the top of the document, If I use code like { strTemp = "Project" & vbTab & vbTab & rsExtras.Fields("Project Name").Value & vbCrLf strTemp = strTemp & "Job No" & vbTab & rsExtras.Fields("Job Number").Value & vbCrLf strTemp = = strTemp vbTab & "Created By" & vbTab & rsExtras.Fields("Created By").Value & vbCrLf strTemp = = strTemp vbTab & "Date Created" & vbTab & rsExtras.Fields("Date Created").Value & vbCrLf wrdAplication.ActiveDocument.Content = wrdAplication.ActiveDocument.Content & strTemp Set rTable = wrdAplication.ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0) for intHloop = 1 To intHloop + 1 Set rTable = wrdAplication.ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0) wrdAplication.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToLast wrdAplication.Selection.Tables.Add rTable, (lngCalculated / 10) + (intDistro + 5), (4 + intDatesPPage) wrdAplication.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToLast next intHloop } The above code is only so I can get a feel for document object model, I basically am trying to add a new table at the curser position, the selection.goto method then moves the curser to the bottom of the page, but when it inserts the next table it inserts the code at the top of the page. I am sure this is something really simple and I have just missed it in my "hacked" together code. Any help anyone could give would be great! Thanks in advance and always, Kind regards Brett Halligan Tag: I am preparing interrogatories which will be presented to Mr. Nel. Tag: 56984

    - MVP: Help! 3rd request re: SaveAs problems This is my third post on the subject; it's creating real problems for me, I hope someone who understands the peculiarities of Word programming will lend a hand. Strangely there is almost nothing I can find via google on the subject. ... How does one move the active doc; this issue is givimg all sorts of problems. I've tried several solutions but not work reliably. For instance, I thought I'd perform a SaveAs from within Word; that should move the Active Document pointer or whatever it's called to the newly saved doc; the orig doc should be closed. Then, use Kill to delete the orig file. This approach works fine on some machines, on other machines it fails with error 70 permission denied. The orig file is still open on some machines (but not others). On those machines I can see that the file exits in both locations, and the open file is the orig file. Why is word so inconsistent with this fundemental behavior? Via menu choices, in all cases SaveAs moves the current file to the "new" file. I am programming in Word 2002 and the machines that have this issue are Word 2000 - but the saveas behavior is so basic that I can't imagine that it's deliberately different programming this in the two versions. I have doevents all over the place. And, if I try to close the word doc in it's original location, I error out with "Bad File Name", when I can see the file is still at that location.

I have tried Uninstall & reinstalling the MS OFFICE Suite comletely. I have tried installing to another Drive attached to the same Win2003 Server. I have tried removing the Normal.dot File and reinstalling from a system that works using the same Office 2k CD Rom. I have tried removing the entry from the registry and Deleting the intire directory and reinstalling and still all my other MS Office Suitre apps come up fine but MS WORD Still has no menu's , no Tool Bar, Nor formating nothing but and area to type text. I have how ever realized that some minipulation can be done using the crtl-Keys , but this is stil limited and cumbersome, so its not what I would like to do . Is there any one who has ever had a simular problem and , what did you do to restore the defaults. The MS Document I found on the Web assumes that you still have a menu Option to go to customize, but in my case there is nothing available to use to get to these tools , Options at all ? What a trtip, this is a good one for the most of us, got me stumped for 3 Days and still no resolution.

    - VBA code not deleting macros I think I have a comparable problem to "Howard Kaikow" I'm using an "autoexec" macro to check & update a suite of macros if a later version exists Most of the code is OK, but I repeatedly find that a couple of modules won't delete, and if I can't delete them I can't copy the new version across Simplified routine is (excuse any layout errors) For all "macros & forms" if new version > old version then call DELMACRO(macroname) end if call addnewversion Next "macro & forms" Sub DelMacro(ThisMacro) Application.OrganizerDelete _ Source:=NormalTemplate.fullname _ , Name:=ThisMacro _ , Object:=wdOrganizerObjectProjectItems End Sub Most of the time it works, but for two macros called "Get WorkingDirectoryCode" & "GetPrinterModelCode" it won't delete them, so they then won't add. I've tried a different name (GWDC & GPMC) but that doesn't make any difference I've even tried capitalising the names just in case there was a case (capital vv lower) issue involved like in some library code, but that doesn't make any difference I can always delete them using the VBA project window, but can't see how that can be applied in normal VBA code execution. Once the program's crashed on the copy (can't copy over existing file) they've gone from the project list, but then it's a bit late. Secondly, I've just moved up to Office 2K3 and find that changes to the Autoexec macro don't always seen to be saved when I exit Word. When I restart work sometimes an earlier version of the Autoexec macro runs and it's becoming rather frustrating to troubleshoot the Macrodelete problem when you find the latest code you're trying has disappeared Any ideas on either issue??

    - Failure to delete a toolbar A bit over 3 years ago, I posted a problem that I, and several others, have reported in these newsgroups. See http://www.standards.com/OhMyWord/VBABugsFeatures.html#DeleteToolbar. I first noticed the problem in Word 2000, then Word 2002. Today, I confirmed that the problem also exists in Word 2003. When such a problem persists for so many Word versions, it means that MSFT is really screwing up by not fixing the problem, or there was a fundamental (mis)design error in Word 2000 and beyond. I do not recall whether the problem exists in Word 97, nor do I really care. Anybody know of a work around? -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site.

    - Problems when opening word template on web server Hi! My problem is that I have a word template located on a webserver.

On some computers this works fine, the templates create a dialogue and everything is OK. But on some computers , after the "File download" dialogue, nothing more happens. A file download progress dialogue flashes by and then nothing happens. Can this be some security issue?

    - Find & Replace Question Hi all, Here's what I need to be able to do: Sample Text: Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb; Mary had a little lamb (forgot what comes after) Now, assuming that all the 'lamb's are in Bold, I need to Find and Replace all Bold words and tag them appropriately. So, the answer would be: Mary had a little <BOLD>lamb</BOLD>, little <BOLD>lamb</BOLD>, little <BOLD>lamb</BOLD>; Mary had a little <BOLD>lamb</BOLD> (forgot what comes after) Now, if I find and Replace and use Bold Formatting, the original text is taken text away, leaving me with this: Mary had a little <BOLD></BOLD>, little <BOLD></BOLD>, little <BOLD></BOLD>; Mary had a little <BOLD></BOLD> (forgot what comes after) So, how do you think I should be able to code this? Please don't tell me to go through the text, word by word... Thank you for your suggestions and for reading. Vince Tag: I am preparing interrogatories which will be presented to Mr. Nel. Tag: 56925

    - Run-time Error '4608' Value Out of Range Word 2000 This has been driving my nuts for the last couple of days. I have the code below in a set of fairly extensive macros. This code has been working flawlessly for months. Recently, I've been working on adding some error trapping to the project, but I haven't touched this particular subroutine. Now when I run this code it sometimes gives me the following error: Run-time Error: '4608' Value Out of Range Here's the code (I've marked the line that causes the error with ">>>"). ***************** Sub PasteLocate() ' Checks for the existance of the required bookmarks and document variables. CheckRequiredBookmarks ' Pastes the Locate into the document. Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Paste ' Bookmarks the record in the document using the MIN or NIC as part of the bookmark name.

Selection.Collapse (Down) Selection.TypeParagraph ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\StartOfSel").Copy "StartOfRecord" BottomOfDocument = True End Sub ***************** I've checked the values of RangeStart and RangeEnd, and they are well within the block of text being processed (i.e. Neither value is beyond the end of the document or anything like that). I also tried putting RecordNumberRange in the declarations, but that didn't make any difference one way or the other. Curiously, the second Set RecordNumberRange command has never caused an error. The bizzare thing is that the error doesn't happen all the time. For the last two days, I've been getting the error about 90% of the time. But just now I completed a test that ran this subroutine more than 50 times, and I didn't get a single error. The thing is, I didn't change anything! The code that just ran 50+ times without an error is the SAME code that was previously causing an error 90% of the time. There were literally NO changes. Now, I could just trap this error with On Error Resume Next, but I would prefer to know what's causing of the error. One thing that I am wondering about is the document itself. I've been using the document for months--adding and deleting large section of text, creating the deleting bookmarks, running my code and then undoing everything, etc. I'm wondering if the document is becoming corrupt, and maybe the code needs to be copied to a fresh document. Is that possbile? Another thing that I'm wondering about is the fact that I've added more modules. Initially, all the code was contained in the ThisDocument module. With the addition of the error trapping features I've been developing, I've added 2 more modules--one that declares a couple of public variables, and one that contains and Option Explicit statement and declares a function for passing information from the Err object to a button on a custom form. Could it be that something about one of those modules is causing the problem? Any ideas? --Tom Tag: I am preparing interrogatories which will be presented to Mr. Nel. Tag: 56885

    - Updating text boxes..... Hi Folks, On my form, users can enter data directly into a text box, or they can past it into the text boxs from the clipboard data with a special "Paste from 3rd Party App" button that I have done. When they type the data in themselves I have a little Procedure : Private Sub TextBox1_Change() TextBox1 = StrConv(TextBox1, vbProperCase) End Sub To make sure the names are property formatted etc. The problem is that when I : "Paste from 3rd Party App" none of the formatting is applied to the text boxes! How would I go about getting them all updated? The only way I came up with was to maybe have a new procedure that updated every textbox every time it was ran, so something like: Sub Update() TextBox1 = StrConv(TextBox1, vbProperCase) TextBox2 = StrConv(TextBox1, vbProperCase) TextBox3 = StrConv(TextBox1, vbProperCase) TextBox4 = StrConv(TextBox1, vbProperCase) End Sub and also still have; Private Sub TextBox1_Change() Call Update End Sub Private Sub TextBox2_Change() Call Update End Sub Private Sub TextBox3_Change() Call Update End Sub Private Sub TextBox4_Change() Call Update End Sub But their must be a better way?

    - Updating the screen MS Word 2003 A macro contains the following statements: ActiveDocument.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False After issuing the above two statements, what statement will update the screen? The colored underlining remains in the currently-viewed text. Only after I scroll the document so that a new area of text is displayed is the colored underlining gone. (If I scroll one-half the screen height, the coloring remains in the previously displayed area, and is gone only from the newly displayed area.)

    - Any way to "size" an INCLUDEPICTURE when it's included? Hi, I'm using Mail Merge to include pictures from a directory like so: { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ MERGEFIELD thePath }" } Is there any way I can set the size of the included picture apart from by scaling it on disk when I write it in the first place? I would gain a lot of speed by not having to scale the jpegs as I write them. What I would like to do is something like this: { INCLUDEPICTURE " { MERGEFIELD thePath }" \Width=120 \Height=256 } Is anything like this possible? Thanks.

    - How do I create a pathname that doesnt disappear when I email my . Hi! Trying to create a form of macro to put my pathnames of documents in the footer. Each time I get something created and email the document out the end user gets the pathname as either a code or in their temporary internet folder. Is there a way to put a pathname on a document so that it is forced to stay there when emailled (other than manually typing!!!). Hope someone can help!

    - Tab 'colors' for Multipage forms I have created several user forms with Multipage objects. I have a nice, soft 'background picture' to give texture to the multipage, but the picture does not run into the tabs. The result is a blotchy looking screen. Is there anyway to cause th tabs to look like the page without the page being a simple solid color? Thanks, Roy Tag: I am preparing interrogatories which will be presented to Mr. Nel. Tag: 56832

    - Word 2K Just Blinks When Printing I am using Word 2K on a W98 machine and have had it installed for years. It just started this problem. When I attempt to print, the border around the Word application blinks. It never prints and I have to end-task to force it to stop. This does not occur with all documents. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    - How to place text blocks from another program? I'm running Word from an MS Access app, iterating through a file of people and information on them, and formatting the Word doc as I go. No problem just plugging in names, addresses, comments as long as I start at the top and work down. What I'd like to do, however, is place a block of text on the left of the page that contains the person's mailing address - and then place another block of text on the right side of the page that contains the person's telephone numbers and email addresses. The two blocks would be of varying sizes/lengths for each person and different sizes/lengths between themselves. Each block is already formatted (line feeds and all) in the input recordset. Is there a way to do this without parsing each block into separate lines, counting the lines and then tabbing across the doc? I'm not looking for a total solution - just an idea of what's possible and maybe a few keywords to start searching on. -- PeteCresswell Tag: I am preparing interrogatories which will be presented to Mr. Nel.
