 - Selecting columns in table gives 5992 error I have used the VB editor in Word 2000 to create a class that adds columns to existing tables and sets text in the new column cells based on the contents of the existing cells in the neighbouring column. To Insert Column: Create column object Select it Insert new column Set oColX = TableX.Columns(lngCol) oColX.Select Selection.InsertColumnsRight All went well till the program encountered a table split over multiple pages. I then got run time error 5992 ..... cannot select.... column has mixed cell widths! So a) how do I con Word into letting me select a column to insert a column after it or b) how do I insert a column where the table is split over a page split? Anybody solved this problem before.

 - Documents referencing a ~tmp file ? I have several hundred documents that were created using a VBA template. Occasionally when closing of the documents based on the template, I get the error "This document cannot be closed because it is referenced by an open VBA project. You should close the project that references this document before closing this document." The documents that seem to do this have a weird reference to ~wrc004.tmp etc. How can I remove the references for ALL documents and replace them with the correct one programatically? Why would this be happening? Thanks! Ben Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66384

 - Table in Word XP Hi all I am looking for some help to fix the following problem. When I create a table in Word, it it possible to add a row by pressing the Tab key when the cursor is in the last cell of the table. I wish to be able to lock up the number of row so that it become impossible to add another row. It would be pactical when many independant table are created in the same document. (I do not want create a form; it is not always the right solution. I never found a solution by using Word "normal" features. Is there a way to do that by using some VBA code? Thank you very much in advance for any advice, help or code. Alain Kadlec Ottawa Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66376

 - Problem creating Attribute on XMLNode Hi, I'm trying to write some C# code that automates Word to do the following: - Open a document - Attach my custom schema - Search the document for some specific text - When I find the text, create an XML Node that includes an attribute - Save the document in XML format First off, I'm a total rookie at this. But here's a bit of the code I wrote: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { object sTokenPattern = "\\<%[A-Za-z.0-9]@%\\>"; object sReplace = ""; object wrap = Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindStop; Word.WdSeekView[] locations = { Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader, Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageFooter, Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument }; wordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView; for (int x=0; x < locations.Length; x++) { wordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = locations[x]; bool bFound = true; while (bFound) { bFound = wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute( ref sTokenPattern, // FindText ref bFalse, // MatchCase ref bFalse, // MatchWholeWord ref bTrue, // MatchWildcards ref bFalse, // MatchSoundsLike ref bFalse, // MatchAllWordForms ref bTrue, // Forward ref wrap, // Wrap ref bFalse, // Format ref sReplace, // ReplaceWith ref none, // Replace ref bFalse, // MatchKashida ref bFalse, // MatchDiacritics ref bFalse, // MatchAlefHamza ref bTrue); // MatchControl if (bFound) { String sValue = wordApp.Selection.Text; object ch = Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter; object one = 1; object range = wordApp.Selection.Range; Word.XMLNode tokenNode = wordApp.ActiveDocument.XMLNodes.Add("Token", (string)FCINS, ref range); Word.XMLNode nameAttr = tokenNode.Attributes.Add("tokenName", "", ref missing); nameAttr.NodeValue = sValue; wordApp.Selection.MoveRight(ref ch, ref one, ref bFalse); } } } Now here's my problem. When the location is the main document, everything works fine. But when the location is either the header or the footer, I end up losing my attribute. That is, the code seems to execute just fine, but after saving the document and inspecting the XML, only the nodes that were created in the main document have their attributes. Here's some sample... main doc - <ns0:Token name="<%Common.DisplayName%>"> <w:r> <w:t><%Common.DisplayName%></w:t> </w:r> </ns0:Token> header - <ns0:Token> <== NOTICE MY NAME ATTRIBUTE IS MISSING <w:r> <w:t><%CurrentUser.Name%></w:t> </w:r> </ns0:Token> Am I way off base here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Rob Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66371

 - Insert shape at x, y on page n I want to insert the shape on the last page of a document (whatever page # that may be, it's variable). It's a textbox with some text in it, and it's background is filled with a bitmap of someone's signature - it goes on the last page in the bottom-right corner to "sign" a document. Our users "apply a signature to the document" by clicking a little macro button that does [essentially] this: Dim objYouWereHere as Range Set objYouWereHere = Selection.Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Physically move to the "last page" Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'Position the signature textbox With ActiveDocument.Shapes("SignatureBox") .Top = 536 .Left = 231 End With 'Return my user to wherever they were prior to running the macro objYouWereHere.Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True I'm not well versed enough in word/vba to know the answer to this; but is it possible to programatically define the last page (maybe as a range?) in such a way that I could insert a shape onto it at an x, y coordinate relative to that page **without** having to move the selection? With the above methodology, the user does end up at wherever they were prior to running the macro, but the objYouWereHere.Select call can sometimes leave them at a new vertical scroll position and it's a little disorienting for them. So, before I go hunting down how to store & retreive the vertical scroll position (similar to how I store and retrieve the selection pre & post textbox adjustment)... is there a more "elegant" way to do this that doesn't require I move the selection at all? Insert shape at x, y on page n, without involving the Selection? Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66370

 - Picture opening as a doc?????????????? I don't even know how to search on this one! I'm quite confused. Following is a code snippit. It has opened a template and updated some doc variables and name then saves it. The template contains a picture. When I insert the "oDoc.SaveAs strDocName"... word opens up to a window for editing the picture (on top), and a window for the new doc. Prior to adding the save, only one window would open and it was for the new doc. HELP!! Thanks!

 - form fields show up in RTF format I hope someone has a clue on this one! I created a form with a VBA macro that automatically does a SaveAs action to ensure the file is stored using field content to ensure the right file naming convention. I made it save in RTF format because that way the new document no longer contains my homemade macro which is needed to be able to e-mail the documents created this way since firewalls do not like homemade macros. Now, to my surprise the RTF files created this way still contain the drop down option lists from the original form ( I had expected only flat text to come through when saving as RTF) Does anyone have a clue why this happens or even better, how to prevent it?

 - Problem with GoToNext(what:=wdGoToSpellingError) I am using Word 2003 for this problem. I have not tried with earlier versions. Using the code below, where rngError is of type Word.Range, strError is of type string and lngLastStart is of type Long, I find that the GoToNext fails when there is punctuation (e.g., comma, period, or slash) immediately after the spelling error. In that case, one of two things happens: 1. If the spelling error is the first word in the document, that spelling error is found, but no others are found. 2. If the spelling error is not the first word in the document, then all spelling errors up to, but not including that error, are found, and no errors after that spelling error are found. I did not find anything in the MSFT KB on this issue. The same problem occurs if I use GoToNext with the Range object, instead of the Selection object. The problem does not occur using the ProofReadingErrors collection, only when navigating with GoToNext(what:=wdGoToSpellingError). Any ideas on a workaround, without using the ProofReadingErrors collection? lngLastStart = -1 Do Set rngError = Selection.GoToNext(what:=wdGoToSpellingError) With rngError If .Start = lngLastStart Then Exit Do End If strError = .Text lngLastStart = .Start .Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd .Select End With Loop Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal?

 - word pagination I don't know if I am posting this to the best place, so if I not please suggest a better one. We currently have word and excel templates that are used to generate documents that are pasted into scientific notebooks. The auditors put page numbers on these pages by using a manual stamp. We have to do this to insure that noone can come along and create another page 12. I would like a way to automate this somehow. Can I create a template that when printed can pull a page number from a db then print that word doc and never print that same number again. I know there are always ways someone can beat the system but what's my best approach?? Thanks for reading and thanks for any susggestions. Mike Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal?

 - syntactical help I'm trying to use the following method to insert a textbox into a document and format it as I go, but I'm up against some sort of vba compiler/syntactical problem I don't understand yet: With ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextBox([orientation, position size etc]) ...[various textbox class members here, e.g....] .TextAlign = fmTextAlignCenter .BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleNone [etc] End Width But Option Explicit doesn't like that, presumeably becuase 'AddTextBox' is returning a Shape, not a Textbox. My first instict is to want to do something like... With Ctype(ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextBox(...), TextBox) ...[compiler-friendly textbox member references] End With But that's vb.net, not vba. How do I get vba to let me play with what .AddTextBox is returning as if it were a textbox while keeping Option Explicit happy? I don't want to cheat and turn it off. Is there a Ctype-like keyword, a different add-a-textbox method I'm not aware of? Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66306

 - insert multiple documents into document retaining headers and foot question: I know how to insert multiple documents and an example is also in the list below. Only problem is that when using this method headers and footers are not retained. this is caused by the sameasprevious when inserting a sectionbreaknextpage at the end of of each document. This means that when I insert for example the second document the header and footer of the first are being used for the second document. This is the code from steve lang, only thing adapted is the pagebreak that is now a sectionbreak, this is needed to keep pagesettings correct: Sub Foo() Dim i As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False Documents.Add With Application.FileSearch 'Search in foldername .LookIn = "C:\test" .SearchSubFolders = False .FileName = "*.doc" .Execute For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count If InStr(.FoundFiles(i), "~") = 0 Then Selection.InsertFile FileName:=(.FoundFiles(i)), _ ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdsectionBreaknextpage End If Next i End With End Sub turning off sameasprevious after inserting the doesn't help very much because at that point the header and footer of the first document are already used. Maybe there is a way, that I don't know to bring them back into the previous state If been trying all kinds of stuff to get this to work, nothing seems to work only thing that did work was using a maindocuments and add subdocuments to it but this was way to slow when you need to append for example 1000 documents.

 - Find routine in VBA I want to use VBA to find all the bold text in a document. When found and still selected, copy the formatting, apply a character style called WHATEVER, then paste the copy formatting back on top of the same text. Once that is done, Find the next occurance.

When I click the "debug" button, I'm taken to this line within the code: "Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="toc"" This is the rest of the code: ``````````````````` Sub UpdateTOC() Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="toc" With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = False End With ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes With ActiveDocument .TablesOfContents.Add Range:=Selection.Range, RightAlignPageNumbers:= _ True, UseHeadingStyles:=True, UpperHeadingLevel:=1, _ LowerHeadingLevel:=4, IncludePageNumbers:=True, AddedStyles:="" .TablesOfContents(1).TabLeader = wdTabLeaderDots End With Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="tocend" With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = False End With Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.TypeParagraph End Sub ````````````` Can anyone provide any insight in two what is going on or attempting to happen? I have no experience in VB coding, so laymans terms may be necessary to explain it. ;-) Thanks. Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66274

 - I give up... I am either too tired to think straight or I am overlooking something simple here... Here is the background: Word 2003. A document contains some characters that are formatted with the Symbol font and that were inserted with the Insert Symbol dialog. The same document also contains "(" that are meaningful. A macro is looking for those "(" but since AscW(Selection.Text) returns 40 for the "(" and for the Symbol font characters, we need to tell if the character is really a "(" or not. We do not care what symbol it is, as long as we can tell the symbol apart from the "(". So, I came up with this macro using some of the clever code I found from Klaus Linke: '_______________________________________ Sub MainMacro() Dim MyRange As Range Dim CheckCar As Range Set MyRange = Selection.Range For Each CheckCar In MyRange.Characters If AscW(CheckCar) = 40 Then If CheckIfSymbol(CheckCar) Then MsgBox "Ne pas traiter ce caractère." Else MsgBox "Traiter cette parenthèse." End If End If Next End Sub '_______________________________________ '_______________________________________ Function CheckIfSymbol(MyCar As Range) As Boolean CheckIfSymbol = False With Selection.Find .Text = "[" & ChrW(61472) & "-" & ChrW(61695) & "]" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True .Execute If .Found Then MsgBox "Ce n'est pas un parenthèse ouvrante" CheckIfSymbol = True End If End With End Function '_______________________________________ Basically, I check every character that are selected, if I find that one of them is a "(", I double check to make sure that it really is a "(" and not a symbol. Here is the problem: With .Wrap = wdFindStop in the function, the .Found property is always false, even if a symbol is currently selected. If I change .Wrap = wdFindStop to .Wrap = wdFindContinue Then the .Found property is always true because it always finds the symbol character in the document, even if it is not in the original selected range. Why is the Find actually working to tell symbols apart from "(" when doing a document wide search, but not when checking a specific character? I have done this before, but not with symbol characters. I remember doing this to tell if a selected character was a section break or a page break. I used basically the same kind of code and it worked without any problem. This isn't working and I cannot tell why! Something to do with wild cards? Arrrggghhh! I need a coffee! -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal?

 - Word Replace Function Hi I am using Word 2003 and am trying to figure out if there is a way to restrict the Replace functionality to only search/replace in the document header/footer. When the document opens up, the user is presented with a form. One of the fields they enter into the form will be used for the Search/Replace.

 - Find, Cut, then Paste Methodology I have a number of documents that have questions in one part of a document and the corresponding answers in another part of the document. I need to modify the document to have the answer four lines after the associated question. I need to be able to: 1) loop through the document, 2) find "question 1", 3) go down 4 lines and mark that location as the place to paste "answer 1", 4) then find "answer 1", 5) cut "answer 1" and paste in the new location for "answer 1". 6) loop to the next question number. Can anyone help me get started? Thanks in advance, Raul Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66253

 - Styles that inherit Is it possible in Word to define styles that inherit margins from the paragraph that precedes? IOW, I would like to define, say "Bullet" to indent 0.2 in from the left of the margin, with "margin" being defined by the style of the previous paragraph. "Bullet" therefore is always indented 0.2" in from whatever is above it. TIA Tag: How can I reference another project as Normal? Tag: 66252

 - Adding FormFields G'day there One & All, Please accept my apology if I've come to the wrong NG, although the name seems inclusive of pretty much everything related to Word VP Programming =). I'm currently trying to write a bit of a Word application. I'm not a trained, nor even a practised, macro writer but I have had a little success with Excel applications for my employer. I'm still trying to come to grips with Word's way of doing things and I've struck difficulties. I have a document with a table at the top of the page. It has only a single row with 4 cells. The first contains day & date fields which I have working the way I want. The next 3 cells are causing my problems. After the headings I'm trying to get FormFields for data entry as follows: Name: Shift: Number: [ ] [ ]-[ ] [ ] As you can probably guess, the "Shift" fields are for start & finish times. I'll write a macro to add 8 hours to the start time to automatically enter the end time. Name & Number need nothing fancy. I have 2 command buttons included which are labelled "+" & "-". What I'm trying to do is to have the first one add a row of fields under what's already there: Name: Shift: Number: [ ] [ ]-[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]-[ ] [ ] ...and the latter one bring up a form to select a name and remove the fields associated with it. I can make & manipulate the userform without any problem, but I can't figure out how to make the fields appear where I want them (immediately below the others, in the same cells). I could probably get it to work by making a nested table of only one column width for each field - code for which I found on a forum somewhere - but although that was suitable for the forum member's situation, that seems to be just a workaround here. Surely there must be some way to position text entry formfields when you make them. Can anybody please shed some light on this for me?

 - Need some help with VBA as it applies to Word AutoFormat Here is the problem in a nutshell: I launch Word thru automation. I then populate tabular data into a document that I obtain from a database I format the data using the AutoFormat property off the table object I save the document as an HTML file. >From what I can see, the HTML file is saved, but the data looks to be missing. So, instead of saving it to an HTML file, I saved it to a DOC file. Then, I see what the problem is -- the formatting has not been applied (or completed) prior to saving the document. If I format it, or change the formatting, I find that the data is correct. I try this without automation, and what I find is that for a large table, the data is populated first, and the formatting takes place (likely) in the background, and takes some time to finish. What is likely happening is that the save occurs before the formatting has completed. Any way to solve this problem, such that I can wait for some event or some flag to be set before I initiate the save operation? Are there properties in the Word object or its sub-objects that I can set to achieve the desired result? Something along the lines of a non-background formatting? Any pointers would be a big help.

 - How can I load a library in a Macro. I have to make a macro that calls a library to show several forms when the user press the macro-button before the document is saved. I remember I have done so with word 97 using LoadLibrary("file.dll"), but with word 2k it seams it is not possible. Does anybody know if it is possible to use this api in word2000. Regards.
