    - How do I make only periods on my screen appear bigger? For ease of reading on my screen, I want only the periods a lot larger and bolder, i.e., Lucinda Console, etc. We use Times New Roman 12 at work, and the periods colons are so faint I can barely see them. I do not want to enlarge everything. I'm trying to find an autocorrect option to do this. I created a macro to do after the fact, but I'm not thrilled with this option. There has to be an autocorrect option that when a period is typed it is changed to another bolder font. Thank you for your help! Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71855

    - Searching multiple, though similar documents, for specific text. I am attempting to create an Access database that will populate table fields based on the search results of current and potential employee resumes. For example, capturing X # of characters either side of words like "Master's Degree", or "Military." I already have a similar question out to the Access group, but started thinking that this would probably need to be a two step process, starting with seaching a Word or RTF document, somehow saving the results as *.txt and then importing that into Access.

    - HELP - Why is my whole menu disabled???? I am programmatically opening a mailmerge document and bringing it up in PREVIEW mode. When I look at the document, I would like to close the document but leave WORD open. But the entire menu seems to be disabled as well as the box to just close the current document. The only thing that is enabled is the upper right corner box to close WORD altogether. Is there a command that I need in order to have the menu enabled? Thanks. Here is most of my code to preview the document: *************************** oDoc.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = 0 oDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource; (dsname,wformat,wconfirmconv,wreadonly,wlinktosource,; waddtofilelist,wpassworddoc,wpasswordtemp,wrevert,; wprotectdoc,wprotecttemp,wconn,wsqlstatement) oDoc.MailMerge.Destination = 0 oDoc.MailMerge.Execute oWord.Documents(1).Activate oWord.WindowState = 1 oWord.Visible = .T.

    - Range of a field [Word 2000 on Windows XP] This is about creating page number prefixes of the form C.9, where C is the SEQ nubmer of the chapter. I can do it all manually through the UI, but I'm trying to do it programatically. I can iterate through the fields collection in each header and footer and find any PAGE fields, BUT I can't figure out how to establish a range object that lets me insert stuff just before this field. objRange = objField.Result just doesn't work reliably -- things get inserted in the middle of the field code, when they get inserted at all. It works when you use selections in the active document, but not when you use range objects. Any clues? Bear Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71841

    - Range Character Count is off....can't figure this out. Hi All, Below is a macro followed by a document that I am running through looking for instances of a Test. The Tests are marked by [~Test ID=xxxx~], (xxxx is a variable number). I need to select the range from [~Test ID=xxxx~] to the beginning of the next Test tag. When I use the macro below, I do not get the results I'm looking for and I can't figure it out. I think it has something to do with the hyperlinks I have in the document.

    - macros disabled in protected form I have created a word-2002 form that captures student name, operating system, email address, etc. I want to create a macro that saves the completed form as 'form data' only and saves the file as a normal word document. I will then have the student email both files back to me. I have created a macro using 'recorder' to change tools/option/save to save the file as form data only. To create the macro, I had to disable form protection. When I re-enable form protection, I can not run the macro. How do I avoid this conflict? Thanks, Tag: how to select text in active cell?

    - global variables - shared subroutines I have the following problem, I have two modules, that means two macros, in my application and there are some subroutines which are common and I was trying to have them in only one module and to call them by module1.sub_name. These subs change the value of a global variable which has purposely the same name in both modules but I noticed that when I call them by that way the value of the global variables do not change. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong or why is this happening? It should be another way except of copying the subroutines in both modules, right? Tag: how to select text in active cell?

    - reference to the rigth instance of Access I need to get a reference to an already open instance of Access if it is running or open it if not. I'm using GetObject. If no other instances of Access are open I have no problem. But I have no guarantee to point to the rigth one if the user has already opened one. I found an half solution with a strange behavior: Set oAccApp = GetObject(MyFileName, "Access.Application") oAccApp.Visible = True works fine (it open a new instance if it is not open or open and "magically" merge it with the old one if already exists) if I don't have a StartUp Form. if I have a StartUp form, I tried to use: Set oAccApp = GetObject(MyFileName, "Access.Application") oAccApp.Visible = True oAccApp.DoCmd.Close acForm, "Welcome Form" But I get a run time error 2455 . If I delete oAccApp.Visible = True I get multiple instances of my database. Why? Any Suggestions? Thanks Lauro Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71804

    - make form automation recognize the boolean state of a check box When automating a form, it would be helpful if I could make the exit macro of a check box dependent on the boolean state of that check box. It would be even better if I could enter a command such as "if check1=1 then check2=enabled" or something similar.

    - Select from insertion point to text string, and then do it all over again I am creating 850 static HTML Web pages by using Mail Merge in Microsoft Word. (The static Web pages are then compiled into one metafile.) After I merge the Web page data into Word, I have one, long document that is separated by 850 section marks. I have VBA code that allows me to cut a selection from the one, long document and to paste the selection into individual .htm files. I have not figured out, however, how to define the 850 separate selections in the one, long document. I also need help returning to the one, long document and moving the the next section in it. Specifically, I need VBA code to do the following things: 1. To use the current insertion point as the beginning of the selection or range. 2. To extend the selection or range so that it includes everything up to the next occurrence of the text string "</html>". 3. To call the cut-and-paste VBA sub that I already have. (This VBA sub creates, saves, and closes the individual file.) 4. To return to the one, long document as the ActiveDocument. 5. To move the insertion point to the beginning of the next section. 6. To repeat this action as long as another "</html>" text string exists in the one, long document. Thank you, --K Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71768

MS Office FirstRun entry in registry = true) We've noticed that the problem occurs once: during first MS Word session. Once the normal.dot's owner file (~$) has been properly deleted (by MS Word after this first session) the problem seems to disappear.

    - Programmatically Adding References Is there a way to programmatically add references to a project? I have this control (Microsoft Calendar Control) added on my machine but when I transfer my template to another user, I get an error. I tried this code to add a reference but I get the following error: Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.AddFromFile ("C:\windows\system32\mscal.ocx") 'Programmatic access to VB Project is not trusted.' Is there a way to do this outside of adding the reference manually for each user? Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71700

    - A Find loop inside a Find--possible? Here's the pattern I use for macros in which some action is performed after each item is found. But the steps done inside the loop don't work if they involve Selection.Find. In other words, it doesn't seem possible to do a Find inside a Find. Is there any way around this? Thanks, Larry Application.ScreenUpdating = False With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "text" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue Do While .Execute ' do steps Loop End With Tag: how to select text in active cell?

    - Prevent Tables.Add Jumping To Selection? Adding Tables or rows to tables always jumps to the insert point. Although most of the time this is not a problem, there are instances that I use range rather than Selection to insert material into a file. In those cases, Add always jumps to one location and ScrollIntoView jumps to another and it looks awful. Is there a way to prevent jumping to the insert point? As a sample: 'table already defined For Each myRevision In theSource.Revisions theCount = theCount + 1 targetDoc.Tables(1).Rows.Add With targetDoc.Tables(1) .Cell(Row:=theCount + 1, Column:=1).Range.InsertAfter Text:=theCount 'and other stuff End With targetDoc.Windows(1).ScrollIntoView targetDoc.Tables(1).Cell _ (Row:=theCount + 1, Column:=1).Range, False Next Tag: how to select text in active cell?

    - Word Template Hello, I create a new Word empty template file. When I open it, and immediately close it (whithout modification), word ask whether modfications have to be saved. When I create a new document based on this model, I save the new document, and Word still ask whether modfications of the template have to be saved. I can save the word template as many times as I want, it always do the same thing. Thanks for answers Regards Maurice Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71630

    - Listing Word macros Hi, I am working on a project for designers to create automated templates for authors to work into. I am creating a set of standard macros that our designers can amend and take into the code window of a template document, and I would then like to be able to access the macro names to automate the creation of a custom toolbar containing the macros used in the document. Is there a way to access macros as a collection (as you do documents, tables, etc.)? If not, is there any way of getting this information from the active document easily? I have currently written a routine to access the code window, strip out the text to a new document, delete all lines that are not macro declarations and copy them back into the main document to iterate through with a second macro that populates a new custom toolbar. While this works, it is not easily extensible and is pretty inflexible, so I am keen to find a more elegant solution if one exists! I am thinking something along the lines of ActiveDocument.macros(1).name kind of simplicity... Many thanks, Nigel Tag: how to select text in active cell? Tag: 71622

Dim myrange as Range
Set myrange = Selection.Cells(1).Range
myrange.End = myrange.End - 1

myrange.Text will then contain just the text from the cell, the final line
of code having stripped off the end of cell marker which you probably do not
want.
