    - GotoBottom Using Word 2003, I have set up a Protected/Unprotected Form Form(set)...The file contains 5 different forms used by the engineering department. All of the forms, with the exception of the first must be able to replicate themselves. The forms are constructed using tables and section breaks as required. At the bottom of each of the forms in the set is a paragraph mark (set to 1.5 points). I am using the small routine (below) as part of the macro to get to the bottom of each page, add a 'page break', and then insert a specific table stored as an autotext entry to create another page in the series. When I record the macro (gotobottom, insert break-page, autotext-add table) the new page is there (bam!). All of the macros for this document are stored in a toolbar for the engineers to use. When I run the macro from the toolbar - the new page is all messed up. The page break is being added in the table above, pushing the balance of the table to the next page along with the addition of the autotext table and a space is added at the top of the original table which also pushes the table further down..... I tried creating a 'dummy' scenario in a blank document and when I initiate the gotobottom by itself, it jumps to the cell marker (outside the table) at the last cell, last row and not to a paragraph mark placed below the table, as I believe it should. If I place two paragraph marks below the table, then the cursor does jump to the first paragraph mark below the table.... can someone please explain what may be happening and how I can correct to get the desired results??? my thanks and best regards, Lenny Sub GotoPgBottom() Dim rTmp As Range Set rTmp = Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range rTmp.End = rTmp.End - 1 rTmp.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd rTmp.Select End Sub Tag: How to replace OLE in Word?

    - Adding user to word document? Hi, Once I have logged onto my Windows XP machine in work, I was wondering if it was possible to add my user to a word document as soon as it is opened. i.e. I log on as DSmith, could DSmith be inserted into a field in a word document upon open? and if so, how?

    - Referencing Bookmarks and Fields Hello I was wondering if there is a way of representing the same bookmark (or field) in multiple places in a word document. I've designed a userform that requires input from the user and places data in appropriate placeholders in a document. For instance, suppose I want a particular phone number (let's say 180 -555-5000) to automatically be inserted into 7 different locations in a document from data extracted from a userform. Must I create 7 different bookmarks/fields in each place I want to see the number represented? I know Wordperfect 9 is capable of inserting the same bookmark with the same data in multiple places so that you avoid creating a new bookmark for the same data. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    - VBA code to merge 2 tables I have an authoring software that automatically creates a Word document from text stored in a database. The software allows for VBA code to be run while the Word document is being created. Here's my problem: In one instance, a table is being broken up in 2 pieces with 3 paragraph marks separating the 2 tables. I need the macro to remove the paragraph marks, so that the 2 tables get merged. I have tried researching this in here, but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Tag: How to replace OLE in Word?

    - Built-in properties Hi, I've just found out there is a built-in properties thingy, and I found out that there seem to be 30 of them. However, I had to write some code to list them out (below, in case you need it) and I still don't have definitions of what these properties actually are. It's fairly obvious what most of them are, but what is 'format' for example? The inbuilt help never seems to just give a simple listing of these different options. Why would that be? Here's the code to list them, btw: Sub GetBuiltInDocumentProperties() On Error Resume Next mytext = "" For i = 1 To 255 mytext = mytext & i & " " & ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(i).Name & ":- " & ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(i).Value & vbCrLf Next MsgBox mytext End Sub This lists out properties 1 - 30, but how do I know there isn't a property number 699 (or 6,000,699) for example?

    - Get DropDown Lists in 2007 out of AddIns (Is there a new 2007 board that I should be writing to with this question?) I have written a large program for 2003 (and before). I can create dropdown lists for various selections I need to make, and position them in the toolbar without problem. This is the essential code: Set newlist = mybar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlDropdown) For n = 1 To ubound(filenamed) newlist.AddItem filenamed(n) Next newlist.OnAction = "DoStuff" THE PROBLEM: In 2007, the commandbar (list) appears in the AddIns tab. I have created a new tab (called "My Program") that houses other commands regarding the program (so I can at least move those command buttons out of the generic "AddIns" tab). But I cannot figure out how to place the dropdown list into the "My Program" tab. Any ideas? Ed (in VA) Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110574

I've managed to set up a macro that hides the content of all text boxes in my document by searching for each text box and setting the contents' font colour to white.

    - ActiveDocument - AutoOpen Good morning, I am trying to create a macro that will allow me to recall the AutoOpen function of the current document. I have been trying the following with no prevail: From within my Normal.dot file, this one only causes errors. [code] Sub Reset_Document() Application.Run ActiveDocument.ThisModule.ThisProcedure End Sub [/code] and this one does half the job [code] Sub Reset_Document() With ActiveDocument .Reload .ResetFormFields End Sub [/code] and this one only errors [code] Sub Reset_Document() With ActiveDocument .ResetFormFields AutoOpen() End Sub [/code] Now the middle one causes my fields to be cleared, which is nice; but I have some Input boxes that appear when the user opens the document and they do not appear. So my question is: How do I recall the AutoOpen function of my document from a Macro stored in another document? On another note, how do I highlight code? Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110563

    - Other groups... Greetings to all, Now that I have a 9-5 desk job, I cannot access the groups with he tools I would like to use. During the last 5 years I was using Outlook Express at home where I used to work as well. Here at the office I am now stuck with Lotus Notes. I tried accessing Usenet with Lotus Notes (It does offer Newsgroup capabilities) and with OE, but I believe the security set up by the IT people at the company is preventing me from making an NNTP connection. So I am using the Web Interface. I am getting accustomed to it. But I noticed that it is called "Word programming." Where are the 5 basic VBA groups I am used to (microsoft.public.word.vba.addins, microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners, microsoft.public.word.vba.customization, microsoft.public.word.vba.general, microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms)? Also, while I was on Google groups, I noticed that there is a group called "microsoft.public.word.vba". I never saw it with OE.... What is it? Was it always around but I just never noticed it thinking it was just a prefix, not an actual group)? Am I correct in asuming that "Word Programing" is in fact "microsoft.public.word.vba.general"? If there is no connection between the Web interface and those 6 groups, how do people, post to those groups? (Presumebly this means that there is no connection betwen Word itself and those 6 groups.) Will I have to use Google to access those groups? Anybody using Google to manage their posts? How is it? Thanks. Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110555

    - pictures and W2007 treatment After reading Daiya Mitchell's article "Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is," I wonder if the mailbox treatment that she described (text one one, headers/footers another, floating graphics on another) is still applicable in Word 2007? Here's why I ask. To avoid problems with float over graphics wandering into unwanted places when reflowing text, I have instead placed images into multi column borderless tables as in-line. I do this only when I need to simulate wrapped text. Is this cautionary practice necessary anymore with the new structure of W2007? I have just gotten the 2007 Office Suite and am not XML literate enough to know its impact. Any insights would be appreciated. Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110553

    - How to close the template or Document 1 Hi Someone has very kindly helped with some code which I need to ammend in order to be complete but I am not sure how to do it.....I have tried many various possiblities. First thing that happens when a certain document opens is a form appears allowing a user to select a template. This is the code behind one of the buttons on the form. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Word.Documents.Add Template:="G:\Template\ent_test.dot" Me.Hide ThisDocument.Close Document1.Close End Sub This works great and opens a new document based on the template closing the original document. This is the code behind the template which fills certain fields with merged data which works perfectly. Sub AutoNew() With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters .OpenDataSource Name:= _ "C:\ENTMRG.DBF", ConfirmConversions:=False .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .SuppressBlankLines = True With .DataSource .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord End With .Execute End With End Sub My only problem is, once the template opens and the macro is run, although a correct document opens, the template or at least a document called Document1 is also open. Ideally, I would like that document to close without saving changes only leaving the document with the merged data open. The reason why is it is giving the user to many options for confusion when closing multiple documents. I hope you understand what I am asking as it is not easy to explain.

    - Displaying Conditional Content in Word 2007 I'm looking for recommendations on creating and managing conditional content in Word. Examples may be: 1. I have a resume that has slightly different content for different industries' jobs I'm applying for. For example, in my last job in the "Experience" section, I may want to put three bullet points with text for my "manufacturing industry" resume and two of the same bullets of from the first list and another new bullet point (also hiding one of the bullet points from the first resume) for my "financial industry" resume. If I want to add a 3rd industry to apply for, such as the medical industry, maybe I just want to replace certain words in an existing financial industry bullet, for example, replacing the word "Sarbanes-Oxley" with "HIPAA". 2. I am creating a course on a subject. The end result will be 3 seperate documents - Instructor Guide, Participant Guide and Classroom Logistics Guide. The Instructor Guide will include the Participant Guide and Classroom Logistics Guide, as well as instructor delivery notes (in seperate blocks of content, like "Say This", "Common Questions from Participants", "How to Run this Activity"). The Classroom Logistics Guide will just be one or two sheets that may need to be saved seperately so it can be sent to another person if they are arranging part of the classroom logistics. Rather than perform a huge amount of copy/paste/delete and try to keep all the data current, I'm looking to just keep all this information in a single document - any outputted documents will be the result of editing the single document template. I've read some about XML and XSLT, but I don't know if they are what I'm looking for, because it appears that XSLT will reformat the document, when all I want is content switched out or removed/added based on content type - all formatting should stay as is. Is this something I can just tag certain content with an XML tag and then run a VBA routine against to remove that tag from the view of the rest of the document? The "Memo" and "Resume" XML samples for Word on MSDN weren't helpful. Bill Coan has a good example I looked at on wordsite.com, but his is all about formating for HTML (but the key idea is there as to what I'm looking for). I've also considered using "hidden text" inside of a Content Control and then just using VBA to hide all parts I don't need via the Control's tag, but that's just a binary choice of include/don't include and I need conditional logic. Any help in this regard is deeply appreciated - pointers, samples, real world examples, a smack in the face... :) DD Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110514

    - How to get a user commandbar to always appear I've found some posts from people who can't get rid of their command bars but my problem is the opposite. In Excel to get a custom commandbar to run at startup I just use: Private Sub Workbook_Open() CreateTheComandBar End Sub It can be in any template and if it's in Personal.xls then it'll appear in all my workbooks. How do I do the same in Word ? Private Sub Document_Open() CreateTheComandBar End Sub ...in Normal.dot doesn't work. The same thing in Document_New works for subsequent new documents but the bar ain't there when I start word.

    - Avoiding the Find/Replace dialog in Word 2003 This is a question related to Word 2003 and VBA I posed this question in an earlier thread, but it was needlessly complicated and wordy. Here's a clearer way of formulating my question, perhaps. I hope I'm not breaking any good netizen conventions here. This is the previous thread: If you use a newsreader: news://msnews.microsoft.com:119/eonojSFcIHA.1960@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl If you use a browser: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general&tid=f3baadfe-daeb-4809-9368-f0d5981d8cac&cat=en_US_eb67b351-9403-4888-a42c-b2b58efec0aa&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 Right now, I have a routine that, in part, finds a medical record number at the top of a document and creates an autocorrect entry for it. I put it together with macro record and some hints from this forum. The way it works is that the cursor jumps to the top of the document, finds the words "Medical Record Number", selects the medical record number, which is located just to the right, and assigns it to an autocorrect entry MRN. I'd like to do that without relying on the dialog box, which causes things to jump around. Assume my cursor is in section 2 and I want it to stay that way at the end of the macro's run. How would I do that? Here is the sample code: Sub MyDemo() ' ' go to top of section ' Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=1, Name:="" ' ' find medical record number ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "Medical Record Number: " .Forward = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1 Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend ' 'Assign to Autocorrect entry mrn ' AutoCorrect.Entries.Add Name:="mrn", Value:=Selection.Text Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine End Sub Regards, Alan Tag: How to replace OLE in Word?

    - I need a super duper mail merge macro created. Please help Is there a way to create a template for a word document to have certain fields pre-populated with form fields and then create a macro to take the necessity for a user to have to open Mail Merge wizzard and start locating the data source etc? Deeper..... We run our in house software and we can press a 'Letter' button which creates a .dbf file which is automatically saved in the root of the users C drive. If they have created this .dbf file, it means they are going to send a letter to the person who was on the form they were looking at before clicking the 'Letter' button. Now, just assuming that the only fields in the dbf file were first name last name address I would want the user to open there template document (not saved in the C drive) which would already have the first name, last name and address form fields in the correct place of the template. This is when I would like the user to be able to press a form button or whatever that will then automatically point the fileds to the corresponding fields in the .dbf field so that our users do not have to try and use the Mail Merge wizard. They WILL NOT use the Mail Merge wizard as they are scared of computers. I know this may be complex or even impossible, but if it can be done, you will forever be deemed a hero. If it can't be done, other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance Malcolm Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110473

    - Automatically Lock Document Hi, Is it possible to automatically lock a document when opening. I have a document with form fields. When certain users open the document I want the form fields to be locked so they will only be able to enter text in the form field. I can't rely on the user to lock the document. I can't save the document with it locked because other users may need to check the document out and edit it. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Mickey Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110438

    - Creating a Find and Replace Macro in Powerpoint I'd like to create a Find and Replace Macro in Powerpoint that I can use each day on a different Powerpoint file. I'm very inexperienced at VBA. However, I was able to use the macro recorder in MS Word to record a find and replace macro, which I placed into its own template document, which covers over a hundred items. Talk about the timesaver of the century. I also have to edit Powerpoint documents. My edits include text in textboxes in the slide as well as note pages. 1. Since Powerpoint doesn't have a macro recorder, could I copy the text below that is used in MS Word into Powerpoint? 2. How would I save it to be available over time (since I edit documents everyday)? I recognize that this question is probably very basic for the talent I see here, but it saves me considerable time doing edits that a computer can handle in seconds. Thanks.

    - Replace Title Case Function with Macro? I use Format > Change Case > Title Case quite frequently. However, it is a pain to have to change all the short words (e.g., the, a, of) back to lower case. There is a macro that takes care of that (shown below). I was wondering if I should replace Word's Change Case function with this macro. Any downsides to doing that? I've never written my own macro before and all previous macro work was "step by step" instructions I followed. If I replace Word's Change Case function with this macro, can someone pls let me know how I would go about doing it? If I didn't replace the Word function, how would I set up using this macro? Using Word 2003 on standalone PC (XP). Any insights much appreciated. Here's the macro: Intelligent Title Case, taken from Allen Wyatt's Word Tips (on-line): Sub TitleCase() Dim lclist As String Dim wrd As Integer Dim sTest As String ' list of lowercase words, surrounded by spaces lclist = " of the by to this is from a " Selection.Range.Case = wdTitleWord For wrd = 2 To Selection.Range.Words.Count sTest = Trim(Selection.Range.Words(wrd)) sTest = " " & LCase(sTest) & " " If InStr(lclist, sTest) Then Selection.Range.Words(wrd).Case = wdLowerCase End If Next wrd End Sub Tag: How to replace OLE in Word?

    - Opening a web page using VB I have written a script to check if people are opening word documents from email. All it really does is check the path, if it is in the temp directory it ask them if they want to save the document to the document managment system. We recently changed our DM to a web based system. With this I was trying to modify my script to save to the new dm. All I really need to do is have the script open a .asp web page that has the document path in the url. I can format the url I just can't get VBA to open a web page. Not even google.com. I looked all over the web ie.. googled it, microsoft.com, and the ms vip pages without any luck. I was wondering if anybody knew how to do this. Just so you know we use word 2003. Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110384

    - Copying Rows with Form Fields Iâ??m working in Word 2003. Iâ??m creating a template with a table and form fields. The table make up is this: 1st row has 4 columns Date: (text in column 1) â?? form field (column 2) â?? Client Name: (text in column 3) â?? form field (column 4) 2nd row has 4 columns: Referred To: (text in column 1) â?? form field (column 2) â?? Follow-Up Date: (text in column 3) â?? form field (column 4) 3rd row as 1 column: Comments: form field I would like to attach an on exit macro to the Comments form field that asks the user if they would like to add another client. If they click on Yes, the document would unlock and all three rows are copied with the form fields â?? however, the form fields need to be blank. Once copied the template would lock again. The user may need to do this many times; add clients. Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thanks -- Jamie Tag: How to replace OLE in Word? Tag: 110381

    - Help on small macro that won't run Hi, everyone! Iâ??m not a developer or professional programmer, just a budding amateur one at best, wanting to learn more. (I am familiar with basic programming concepts.) In trying to improve our lives here in Word, I searched for and found the following code in a post in this discussion group and thought I'd try it out. It would do exactly what we need, but the procedure doesnâ??t run after being copied into a NewMacros module. Can anyone please help me, or set me in the right direction to figure out why it wonâ??t run? I get no error messages. We are using Word 2003 (11.8202.8132) SP2. Any help or any feedback at all on this would be very very very appreciated. Thank you! -Lynne Hereâ??s the code: Sub FindAndUnderlineTextInQuotes() 'Underlines text exclusive of the quotes marks Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Content With oRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = """<*>""" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWildcards = True Do While .Execute If oRng.Find.Found = True Then With oRng .MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1 .MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .Font.Underline = True .Collapse wdCollapseEnd End With End If Loop End With End Sub Tag: How to replace OLE in Word?
