    - How do I restore my Word program's blank document template? Somehow when I pull up Word it now shows a document I didn't think I had saved. Every time I hit the create new, this document comes up so I must have somehow saved the document as the blank template. How do I restore it to the default blank document?

    - Forcing execution of an event.... Hy there, I wrote a very simple macro to automate printing of a document and as the "Manual Duplex" printing option isn't working properly, I'd like to handle with VBA everything. So what I did is to issue 2 Application.PrintOut calls, separated by a msgbox call. Unfortunatelly, the print doesn't begin until the sub is exited.... Any clue on how to execute immediately the first Application.PrintOut call? Thanks Here's the code: Sub PrintDuplex() Call SetPrinterProperty(DM_PAPERSIZE, DMPAPER_A3) Call SetPrinterProperty(DM_PRINTQUALITY, 1200) ActivePrinter = "\\ACRUX\Kyocera Mita KM-1650 (KPDL)" Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="4,1", PageType:= _ wdPrintAllPages, ManualDuplexPrint:=False, Collate:=True, Background:= _ True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=2, PrintZoomRow:=1, _ PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 MsgBox "Turn paper sheet and press Ok when ready", vbOKOnly Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="2,3", PageType:= _ wdPrintAllPages, ManualDuplexPrint:=False, Collate:=True, Background:= _ True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=2, PrintZoomRow:=1, _ PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 End Sub Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96307

    - Getting propertys of the Normal style I'm trying to navigate through the Word object model to find the properties of the Normal style used for that document - particularly the font name and font size. I'm trying to do this for a large number of documents, so instead of doing it manually, I want to navigate the object model from a VB application. But I haven't found a way to get to the Normal style and it's properties yet. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Dave P. Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96305

    - Variable Footers I need a way to create different footers for every page. Let's say the document is 5 pages long. The user is prompted as to how to start the numbering series. They will answer with a number only, say 3. The sequence follows such that page 1's footer displays 3 right-aligned. Page 2's footer would display 3A to left-aligned. Page 3's footer would display 3B right-aligned, and so goes the series for every page with incrementing letters and alternating alignments. Since I can't seem to control footers on an individual basis programmatically without sections interfering, what should I do? A couple things I've thought of are 1) making each page its own section, 2) inserting a docvariable field into each footer, then updating the field value with the correct page number. I am an experienced .NET/VBA developer but working with Word's sections is not intuitive for me. I will process documents that are generated out of my control, and I expect these documents to have one section for the entire document. I would greatly appreciate a recommended programmatic approach. Feel free to be very technical. Thanks ! Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96299

    - distributing a Word form with macros I've developed a protected form in Word that will be distributed as a Doc file to multiple users in an organization. It uses macros to validate user entries and perform calculations. The subroutines and userforms are in the Doc file itself, because I was told that asking folks to use a Dot to create instances of the form would be too complicated. Now I'm told that asking users to set Macro Security Level on Medium and click "Enable macros" when opening the doc is too confusing (despite clear directions complete with screen caps -- sigh). The people who will be maintaining the form insist that there is a way to ensure the macros will work regardless of the user's security settings -- and without saying "Enable macros." They say they have seen it, they just don't know how to do it. I've tried to figure out how this is possible, and have tried to find info on the web, but to no avail. Is there a way to distribute the form to multiple users, ensuring the macros will run regardless of their security settings and without requiring them to click "Enable macros"? Most users will be running Word 2002 under Windows XP or XP SP2. Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96289

    - Placing a control on a document Hi all, I am new to Word VBA but have extensive experience with it in Excel and Access. I am sure this is simple: I need to put a control on the document, as opposed to the user's tool bar, and then give it a click or double click event, in order to start things rolling. Ideally I would want a command button but that does not seem to be an option, at least, I don't see it. What is the best way to proceed?

    - *bold, _italic, <>heading in Word/VB I tend to write a lot of documents in text-only format, with the following conventions: This_is_italic This*is*bold [This is a footnote] <This is a chapter heading> In the case of bold/italic, I'd want any token that has _ or * in it. Normally, I don't do documents that are so long as to make manual conversion feasible. A year ago, when I had a non-profitable emergency, Klaus Linke was so kind as to write me a macro to do the most cumbersom conversion, for footnotes. The convention I use for bold and italic, I understand is much more problematic. The chapter headings I would need so I can have a table of contents. Right now I have no immediate need for this, but I am considering returning to that non-profitable undertaking. Incidentally, I used to use SCRIBE where the conventions were @i(This is italic) @b(This is bold) @foot(This is a footnote) @chap(This is chapter heading) @u(This is underline) @sec(This is a chapter heading) Furthermore, I've programmed in a number of languages (FORTRAN, ALGOL, PASCAL, C) so I don;t mind doing a little bit of coding so long as I understood (how to find) all the MS Word variable names. I'm attaching whatever VB macros I do have, and comments others have offered. If I seem a bit confused it is from the short attention span I have been able to afford to direct towards this project. .Text = "*\_*" .Text = "*\**" \*[!^13]@\* Sub Foot() Dim myRange As Range Dim boolFound As Boolean Dim myFootnote As Footnote Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content Do myRange.Find.ClearFormatting With myRange.Find .Text = "\[*\]" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchWildcards = True End With myRange.Find.Execute boolFound = myRange.Find.Found If boolFound Then myRange.Characters.Last.Delete myRange.Characters.First.Delete myRange.Cut Set myFootnote = ActiveDocument.Content.Footnotes.Add( _ Range:=myRange) myFootnote.Range.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault) Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content myRange.Collapse (wdCollapseStart) Else Exit Sub End If Loop End Sub Sub jb() ' ' Macro written by Maniac on May 16, 2006 ' Reformats text between two strings ' ' Specify search phrases (start / end) A$ = "abc" B$ = "def" ' Start at the beginning and reset all ' search formatting options ActiveDocument.Range(0).Select Selection.Find.ClearFormatting ' Loop repeats until first phrase not found While Selection.Find.Execute(A$) StartReformat = Selection.End Selection.MoveRight Selection.Find.Execute (B$) StopReformat = Selection.Start Selection.MoveRight ' Add formatting to the following section ' Options include: ' .Bold, .Italic, .Underline, .StrikeThrough (true / false) ' .Size = font size ' .Font.Color = wdColorGreen (Red, Blue, etc... see help) With ActiveDocument.Range(StartReformat, StopReformat) .Bold = True .Font.Color = wdColorBlue End With Wend End Sub - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

    - capture keydown/press events in a user form I'm trying set up a user form where I can assign shortcut keys to various subroutines. I know how to do the keybinding (assign the shortcut keys) once I get the keys in the text box -- but am totally stumped on how to "capture" the keystrokes the user might enter in the form's text boxes. Unfortunately I'm pretty much a newbie with programming in general and VBA in particular... Am working on trying to get something like the following to work, but even if I can get this running right, it seems I'd need to specify every possible key combo.

    - Word 2007 VBA can not set options.print... properties Has anyone else run into this (and found a reason/fix)? On one of our five test dev machines, Word 2007 has a weird bug. Start a blank new doc, go into the VBA macro editing area, add the line: options.printbackground=false (on our machine, you can use ANY of the print options for this test - printcomments, printbackgrounds, printdraft, etc.). they ALL fail... but the non-print options are fine.) If I try to run the macro, it breaks on that line with a runtime 4120 error bad parameter. I've changed it to options.printbackground=true - still no go. I've tried changing the default printer and restarting word. Still no go. Curiously, I can do a: msgbox options.printbackground and it will accurately read the value of the printbackground hckecbox from the word options, advanced, printing section. so... on this ONE machine, I can READ but not SET the options for printing programmatically. Any ideas??? Corrupt install??? Read only xml ini file or some other obscure weirdness???? Regards. Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96267

    - Forms and Table of Contents I'm a wannabe expert at forms. I have a pre-made document for engineers describing equipment which has a table of contents, places to insert images, Excel tables, and an Appendix added at the end (which will auto-fill into the toc). I want to have part of this document automated so the people filling in the forms can't make a lot of changes. How can I create a text fill-in within the table of contents? I've tried and because it is already a type of field I think that I probably can't do this. Also, I have several places in the document that once you type in the first text fill-in I want it to populate that information in about 10 different other places in the document automatically, including the TOC and header or footer.

    - Help - Word probelm (macros) I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but here goes: Every single time I open Microsoft Word (Office 2003), I get the following text box: "Microsoft Office Word [in border of the message box]" "This file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature. Since you are running under high security level, these macros will be disabled." Is there any way I can find the source/cause of this? This happens even if I just start Word without opening any document files at all. It also happens every time I start Outlook (because that opens word as the Outlook E-Mail editor). I am concerned that something may have infected my system; I had some kind of critical problem a couple weeks ago, the system would shut down immediately after starting, and I did have to restore from an image backup. The restore (from a Drive Image backup) was drive C:, which includes the program files folder, but on my system the My Documents folder (which has all the Word files) resides on drive E:, which was not restored. Extensive scanning (both AV and spyware) show the system to be clean, and it is perfectly well behaved in all regards except for this. Thanks Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96206

    - Lowering Inline Shapes - How does Mathtype/Equation Editor do it? If you insert any picture into the InlineShapes collection, the picture sits with its base on the line of text. The only way I have found of lowering such a picture is to select it and use the Font.Position property - or Format / Font / Character Spacing from the menus. Mathtype and Equation Editor achieve the same result in some other way. Their output is lowered compare to the line of text but the Font.Position property is Normal (or 0). How do they do it?

    - Word macro warning Hi Everyone I have XP Pro SP2 which is fully updated. I accessed a site using IE7, copied some text and pasted it into Word 2003. I saved the document and, when I reopened it, I was warned about it containing a macro. I did a virus scan which was clear. I enabled the macro and looked at the VBA editor but saw no code there. In the Project pane there are "Reference to Normal" and "ThisDocument". When I looked in the right pane of "ThisDocument", I saw DefaultOcxName, DefaultOcxName1, DefaultOcxName2, DefaultOcxName3 etc., to DefaultOcxName15. The text in the document was present initially in cells in tables so I converted it from tables to text then resaved the text in a new document but exactly the same warning was displayed when I reopened it. Any idea what's happened? I don't like the warning when I open these document(s). I suspect that I could retype the whole document (it would be pointless having a copy/paste facility) and that is likely to prevent the macro warning but I'd rather not have to do that. Thanks for your time and patience. Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96198

    - Word 2007 Digital Certificate problems? I've got a template signed with a thawte code-signing certificate (updated version for IE7). This certificate works as it should with Word 2003. If I try to run my template (it's a .dotm - macro enabled template) on Word 2007, in which I've selected the Trust Center's "Disable all macros except digitaly signed," it doesn't work -- the macros get disabled and I never get asked about the certificate. The only way i can get the macros to work is by choosing "enable all macros." If however, I run my template on Word 2003 and tell Word 2003 to "always trust this certificate," and then I install Word 2007 on that machine, Word 2007 does see and trust the certificate. Is there some additional step required to make it so a Word 2007 user with "Disable all macros except digitally signed" can use my template without having previously trusted the certificate in Word 2003 ??

When I ;am working on the document, the cursor does not show most of the time and it "jumps" around by a character or 2 when I have the mouse pointer in the area of the cursor. I know I did not use outline numbering,properly, but I don't know why it would be so active even when the document was in the background. Does anyone have any ideas. I don't seem to have the problem with my Word 2000 at home, but I have not done much with it at home Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96153

    - how to bypass "Show Repairs" dialog in Documents.Open, Format:=11 I have a macro that opens an HTML file then I save it as a text file. When the HTML file opens, it opens a dialog box that I need to disable. The box is titled "Show Repairs" and details are "Error are detected in this file, but Word was able to open the file by making the repairs below..." etc. The "repairs" are "Recovered Text Only 1". When I click the Close option on the dialog box, the macro continues. This dialog is an annoyance. Is there any way to bypass this? In my code Documents.Open ([mypath\myfile.htm]), AddToRecentFiles:=True, Format:=11 I've tried to use the "OpenAndRepair" which Intellisenses as an option after a comma for Documents.Open but either it doesn't do anything for my cause or I don't know the settings to use. -- Bryan Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96135

    - Changing Templates During Merge I think this involves using VBA as the solution. I have 2 templates defined. I need to setup a mail merge using a csv file as my datasource. Depending on a value in the CSV file, I need to toggle between the 2 different templates. Is there a link on how to do this or can someone assist me with the solution. Greatly appreciate any help or direction. Frank Tag: problem with colour Tag: 96127

    - Go to closest editable area I have a template in Word 2003 that uses partion protection. Certain areas of the doc have full edit capabilities while others are not editable. What I want to do is anytime the user clicks or selects inside a protected area, I want it to move their cursor to the closes or next editable area. I have found very little on the events that drive the Protection Task Pane. This is were I think the needed event resides. All help is welcomed and appreciated!

I am a bit of a novice so the answer may be simple! When I print a document,
whenever I use the colour red it comes out yellow. I have checked the ink
status which is okay. Hope you can help!!!

Hi ellsbells,

This really has nothing to do with vba - unless you're trying to use vba to set the colour. If so, what parameters are you using? If
not, have you tried colour-printing from another MS application (eg Excel).

Cheers
