    - OCX Form Field Collection Form fields inserted into a document from the Forms toolbar can be accessed by ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname"). This does not work for fields inserted into the same document from the Control Toolbox. In a Userform, you can use the Controls collection but I can't figure out how to access the fields inserted from the Controls Toolbox. I want to write a construct like: For each ctl in Controls... Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Peter Tag: security - read-only recommended Tag: 89261

    - Problem with FormattedText Doing a mailmerge from Excel with Word automation. I am altering a document and then doing SaveAs. This runs in a loop and after doing SaveAs I need the original document to do the same again. Rather than closing and reopening this document I prefer to keep the text + formatting in a range variable and putting that back. Only reason for this is that is quicker. This is the simplified code I have: Dim wd As Object 'need to add Word here as there also is a DAO Document! Dim Doc As Word.Document Dim rngAllText As Word.Range Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set Doc = wd.Documents.Open(strLetterDoc) Set rngAllText = Doc.Content.FormattedText.Duplicate 'alter the document here 'do SaveAs here Doc.Content.FormattedText = rngAllText At this line line I get error 5937: Cannot copy content between these 2 ranges. Thanks for any advice in this. RBS Tag: security - read-only recommended Tag: 89259

    - *.dot won't run a "Document_Open" Macro when opened from Netwrk Se I have a *.dot file that is setup on our network server for users to access. The document opens fine but I need to force open a User Form (UserForm1) as soon as the template opens. Additionally, if I run the template from my local machine I can get the User Form to open via the below code. Private Sub Document_Open() Application.Run MacroName:="goPCDFiller" End Sub (1) What code to I need to execute to get the template to open the User form when it is deployed on a network server? (2) Also, is there a code available that forces open WORD to view/run the template because many of our users have â??Quick View Plusâ?? installed (which is fine) but it takes over the *.doc and *.dot files when the user tries to open one of them.

    - Interacting with oracle DB from VBA without Oracle Client on PC? Hi all, I noticed that their are some solutions for VB.NET to connect to an Oracle Database without having an Oracle client on your PC (for eample Core Lab's OraDirect .Net Dataprovider). Installing and maintainig Oracle clients is considered to be a pain (various Database versions require different clients) and is avoided by using more and more web based applications from Oracle. Only for Word VBA stuff I need an oracle client to be present on all machines. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this from VBA as I would love to get rid of the Oracle client.

    - Adding watermark to every page Hi all, I have a bit of a panic on the go here and would like to ask for assistance. Can anyone suggest how I could programmatically (using VBA) add a watermark to every page in every section in a 10 to 20 page word doc? I want to add the word "COPY". I thought maybe I could add a specific sized textbox with hidden borders, containing COPY in large pale grey font colour (maybe running vertically in the textbox). Then set the textbox to appear behind the normal text. How on earth I would go about that, I dont have the faintest idea. Anyone prepared to offer help or suggest an alternative method? Unfortunately I dont have enough time to try and fubble around for days on end like I isually do. Any help or suggested code would be greatly appreciated.

    - Header/Footer not protected in form Hello, I have a document template protected for forms. When the user creates a new document based on the template, they can click on the header. This switches them from page layout view to normal view and creates a header pane at the bottom of the document to allow the user to edit the header. This is not what I want. I don't want the users to be able to touch the header in any way. The reason I need a header is that the form fields are in table rows and can expand, causing the document to end up with more pages than the template it was based on. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Hiding text based on custom document property Good afternoon, all, I am trying to show/hide text based on a custom document property, Audience. When my document opens, a form appears with three options, All, Agency, and Program Office. Here is the code behind the form button's onClick event: Private Sub cmdOpen_Click() Dim st As style If Me.Controls("optAll").Value Then ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "All" ElseIf Me.Controls("optAgency").Value Then ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "Agency" Else ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Audience").Value = "ProgramOffice" End If If Me.Controls("optAll").Value Then For Each st In ActiveDocument.Styles If InStr(st.NameLocal, "Agency") > 0 Then st.Font.Color = wdColorBrightGreen st.Font.Hidden = False ElseIf InStr(st.NameLocal, "ProgramOffice") > 0 Then st.Font.Color = wdColorRed st.Font.Hidden = False End If Next Else For Each st In ActiveDocument.Styles st.Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic If InStr(st.NameLocal, "Agency") > 0 Then st.Font.Hidden = Not Me.Controls("optAgency").Value ElseIf InStr(st.NameLocal, "ProgramOffice") > 0 Then st.Font.Hidden = Not Me.Controls("optProgramOffice").Value End If Next st End If ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False frmAudience.hide End Sub So...first I set the custom document property. If the user chooses the option labelled All (which I would do when I am creating this manual) I want to show all styles, with any style containing the word 'Agency' in its name showing as bright green text and any style with ProgramOffice showing as red. If the user choosed the option labelled "Agency" I want only the styles containing 'Agency' to show, and have all styles containing 'ProgramOffice' to be hidden. So, I set the Hidden property of all the styles containing Agency to the opposite of the option control. In other words, if Agency was selected, then Me.Controls("optAgency").Value will be true, and I want the font for the styles containing 'Agency' to have a hidden property of false. The problem is that after running the lines that assign the value to st.Font.hidden, st.Font.hidden equals -1. I found one posting that I didn't really understand, but it seemed to say that this was because the style was a paragraph style. So, can I do what I want? If so, what am I missing? Any ideas, resources, references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kathryn Tag: security - read-only recommended Tag: 89212

    - VBA into already created table(s) in a Header or Footer MS Word - VBA into Header or Footer (and into a table in the same) Is there a way to allow gain access to a header or footer in Word via VBA? I have a one page form full of tables (Page 1) and the narrative begins on Page 2. There is a header and footer on page 2 and subsequent pages (but not on page 1). The header and footer have tables and I need to be able to bookmark the tables somehow and copy certain data from page 1 to this header and footer. As I see it, there are two ways to do it: #1 Use a VBA â??prompt boxâ?? (UserForm) for the data to be captured and force the data into the header for footer as well as certain fields on Page 1. OR #2 Have a macro run on a Text Form Field "EXIT" which automatically COPIES and PASTES data from Page 1 to the header & footer on Page 2 I have tried where â??tblLastFirstMiddleâ?? is the Form Text Field / Bookmark and vLastFirstMiddle is the text box control on VBA UserForm. ActiveDocument.FormFields("tblLastFirstMiddle").Result = vLastFirstMiddle.Value This works fine for Page 1 but I have yet to be able to (1) manually place a bookmark / text form field in an already created header or footer and (2) call that bookmark in the header or footer and (3) Copy and Paste the data into it.

    - HOWTO Keep original document name after a forced SaveAs. HOWTO Keep original document name after a forced SaveAs. Please help, I have script to force the current document to be saved using the ThisDocument.SaveAs method. After I invoke the SaveAs, the "Name" of the document changes from whatever it was to the path name I give in the "SaveAs" call. I want the name to go back to the original name, but the ThisDocument.Name property is read only, and won't let me change it back. How can one do this? Is there a way to change the name back?

    - RegEx Range.Text object corrupting embedded footnotes I have a macro which processes text using Regular Expressions (to find run-in heads in paragraphs). It seems that regular expressions will only work on the Range.Text object and not Range.FormattedText. I thought I had most of the kinks worked out of this but found a new wrinkle yesterday. It seems that, if the text of a paragraph is altered by a RegEx, then the embedded footnotes in that paragraph are broken. I have a sense that this is because the proper information isn't be passed back to the document by the Range.Text object when a replacement is made (duh). Before I sit down and write a macro that cuts out the embedded footnotes and replaces them with a marker before the RegEx is run and then reverses the replacement after the RegEx is run, I thought I would check with the experts and see if there are any better (and easier) approaches out there. I have tried replacing the RegEx searches with S/R using Word's wildcard search options but can't achieve the desired search complexity with them. I always run into the "expression is to complex" error. As a side question, are the limitations of Word's Wildcard Search listed anywhere. The one major one I've encountered is the limitation to 7 groups instead of the regular 9. There seem to be others but I can't recall them right now. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    - Saving documents from templates with form field information I have a template with multiple text and number form fields, including 'project number', 'project manager', and 'site name'. I want to set up a standard naming convention for the documents from this template with a combination of the form fields. I then want to set up a macro to save the document with that name. For example: I want to save and name the document "project number-project manager-site name.doc", where each of those variables are the actual data that the user has filled in the form. I have bookmark-named all of the fields on the template. I have also selected the "calculate on exit" checkbox on all of the fields. I see how to set up a calculated field on the form, but it won't work with text fields. I also see how to set up a cross-reference, but that's only to one bookmark at a time. Any ideas?

Now - if I'm using this type of caption (ExcludeLabel:=1) and insert a cross reference manually, everything is still fine, but if I'm executing the same command as a macro Word 2003 is inserting nothing (don't know about other Word versions) ! I even recorded the successful manual insertion with the recorder (which is creating the same code lines as above). When I'm executing the macro nothing is inserted.

GoTo Folder End If For i = 1 To TotalFiles MN1(i) = .FoundFiles(i) Next i End With I did it with "brute force", creating the arrays of filenames with different keywords (like MN1 in the code) and then taking only members of arrays which present in every array, modelling in this way logical "AND". But I suspect that more elegant solution may be found. That is your opnion? Tag: security - read-only recommended Tag: 89129

    - How to format whole paragraph if it contains a keyword? Hi All, I've been trying to figure out there is a way to select an entire paragraphs based on a keyword within the paragraphs (e.g., I'd like to change the entire paragraphs containing the keyword "^pCHAPTER" [paragraph mark + uppercase-word chapter].

    - Setting Page Width, Height, and Orientation I created an Access report and saved it as a word document. I then set the Page Width, Page Height and Orientation. When I checked the document under page set up all of the set parameters were there but they don't seem to take effect until I click OK. Is there some command that can simulate OK in the commands listed below ? Set docSource = wdApp.Documents.Open(strReportRtf) With wdApp.ActiveDocument.PageSetup .PageWidth = InchesToPoints(dRptWidth) .PageHeight = InchesToPoints(dRptHeight) If strRptOrient = "P" Then .Orientation = wdOrientPortrait Else .Orientation = wdOrientLandscape End If End With docSource.SaveAs FileName:=strReportDoc, FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument docSource.Close Tag: security - read-only recommended Tag: 89110

    - Error: AppName: winword.exe AppVer: 11.0.8026.0 Can anyone help with Error message? Is it Access Tools Reference related to those few users? Details: Using Word and Access 2003; the template is housed on a network but is not directly accessed by users. They run a macro I created that opens a document based on it. The template has been revised a few times, and the code in the template has been tweaked. Would that have anything to do with it? What other details should I give? I've got a problem with a few users (out of 55) whose Word sessions crash *every* time they open a document based on a certain automated template I created. I've Googled the following error report generated by Word when it crashes, but am not finding any solutions specific to this problem, enough to safely correct it: Error signature AppName: winword.exe AppVer: 11.0.8026.0 AppStamp: 4468c5b1 ModName: vbe6.dll ModVer: 6.4.99.72 ModStamp: 40b29ba6 fDebug: 0 Offset: 001c3fac The template has two sections that are protected. The protected sections have text fields that are bookmarked, and one macrobutton that allows the user to add extra lines. There are a few macros built into the template that run when the user enters and exits certain fields. There is also code built into the template that allows the user to click a button and send the information to a database into Access. For 90% of the users, there are no problems working with the documents based on this template. However, I've got a few users whose Word sessions crash every time they open a document based on this template. I have tried renaming their Normal templates and updating Office 2003 with the latest patches. The problem is I don't know where to begin to diagnose the problem. Why can most users open the documents based on the template but those few can't? Can someone please tell me where I should begin looking? I've tried recreating the problem on my computer, but I can open the documents just fine - no crashing. I don't know if I should be looking at a setting, if I should attempt to recreate the template, remove the code from it, check out libraries, or what. Maybe if I understood a little better what happens when you open a document that is based on a template that has fields and macros, I'd understand where to begin diagnosing the problem.

    - Parsing lines of text I have a Word document that contains hundreds of similarly-formatted reports (about 30-40 lines of text with carriage returns), with lines that flag the start of each report and lines that are specifically flagged that I need to copy and paste at the bottom of the document. What I need to do is activate a macro that looks for the first start flag ("START REPORT"), copies the line of text underneath it, then looks for rows flagged as "LAUNCH DATE" and "DETAILS", copies those, and then dumps all four rows of text at the bottom of the document. Then, finds the next report (within the document) and repeats the process until it hits the end of the document. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    - How to set up macro that copies text to another place in same docu I'm trying to set up a form in Word 2002. I want to set up the form such that when a user enters a number in one place in the document, the same number is automatically entered in a second location. I've tried running a macro on exit from the first text form field that copies then pastes the number to the other form field below, but I get an error message (Microsoft Visual Basic. Run-time error 4605: This method or property is not available because the obfect refers to a protected area of the document). I tried it again, by taking out the second form field, and just trying to paste the number to a specific spot, but I get the same error message. What am I doing wrong??

    - Requesting VBA Code to Copy from Word as Bmp Hi. I have a Word doc which consists of of some paragraphs of text, tables, and a few inserted pictures. The contents of this Word doc are constantly changing. My aim is to copy all of its contents as a single bmp file, and then paste this bmp file into an Excel xls file. The steps I've used to try to do this manually are: (1) Ctrl & A (select all) (2) Ctrl & C (copy) (3) place my cursor at the desired location on the Excel file and use Edit > Paste Special - Picture (Enhanced Metafile). The resulting paste into Excel does include all the text and table info but not any of the pictures. I am hoping for the means to get a "complete" copy and paste (that includes any inserted pictures from the Word doc), and the proper Word VBA code to do this. I know the Word VBA for steps 1 and 2 are: Selection.WholeStory Selection.Copy Since the second line of code above does not perform a "complete" copy, I'm sure that line will have to be changed. Could you please tell me what the proper code would be to achieve this? I would be most appreciative for your help. (By the way. To me it is "odd" that this can be easily done from Excel into Word. In Excel, if you paint in an area while holding down the Shift key, you will be able to copy any of its contents (including bitmaps) and then paste this as a single bitmap into Word. I say "odd", because I would have thought this to be a simple matter going from Word into Excel.) I look forward to your answers and you have my sincere thanks. God bless you.

    - Autonew macro doesn't fire on new document I have a quite annoying problem with the autonew macro. I am using Word 2003. In a template, i made the autonew macro, i tested it, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do, as long as i am working directly in the .dot file. When i doubleclick the .dot file Word opens with a new document filled with everything from the template, even the macro, but it's not firing up, and when i go to Extra --> Macro --> Macro's... it is not showing the macro anymore. If i then open Visual basic, all the code is there. Then if i add a bit of extra code (another sub that just puts up a MsgBox with some crap) suddenly all the macro's are usable again. This kinda nullifies the use of the autonew macro as i still have to manually add code and start it up. Does anyone have any clue why my macro code is copied to the new document, but is not available for use until i edit the code? Regards, M.

None of these macros will run unless I place them in the normal.dot. I can't have them in the normal.dot as I cannot replace the clients normal.dot. I created a different add in called adn.dot and place them in there as a module but it won't run unless I move them back to normal.dot. Any suggestions?
