    - Creating XLST / Transform File I'm attempting to use MS Word 2007 to open an XML file - generated by InfoPath 2007 - and then apply a transform to get the data in the format I want it, and be able to modify it within MS Word 2007. Can I actually create the "transform" (.xls) file within MS Word 2007? Can someone recommend a guide to create the transform? Thanks!

    - Alot of Content Controls in a VSTO Word solution causes CPU max ou I am trying to develop a Word 2007 VSTO solution which contains about 1000 content controls. This sounds like a lot but it is a fairly simple solution with just a lot of repeating data. After deploying the solution I open the document and click inside one of the content controls which causes Word to max out the CPU while it does "something". I wish I knew what the something was so I could fix it. (My guess is that it is binding all the controls but it should not take that long on a superfast computer.) Note that after first click, the document seems to work fine -- navigating to other controls etc. and no CPU problem. This problem is reproducible by simply creating a new VSTO Word 2007 document solution and adding a Plain Text content control and copy/pasting it down in the document 1000 times. Then deploy it. You don't even need to do anything in the customization (add events etc.), just deploy as-is. Below are the results I have seen which shows that the problem gets exponentially worse: 600 Controls (25 pages) Response: 11 seconds 900 Controls (38 pages) Response: 35 seconds 1200 Controls (50 pages) Response: 1 min 20 seconds I would really like to be able to develop this as a Word solution so if somebody has any info on this at all it would be much appreciated. (Please don't respond and tell me to do an InfoPath solution.) Thanks alot, jbstrive Tag: How to set the sequence of movements of the "tab" key Tag: 115151

    - VBA - Word 2002 form | auto-SUM function for bookmarked table cell I've created a protected Word 2002 form that allows users to enter data into text fields. This form will then be printed out and turned in. I want to SUM 2-3 table cells that are bookmarked income_1, income_2, etc... and display the result in a TOTAL cell below the values. I can use a Word SUM Function to SUM the bookmarked values, but I have to update that manually. This form is for others, so I would like the SUM function to happen automatically. Is there VBA code to automatically SUM the values in the cells bookmarked income_1, income_2, etc...? And display it in another cell? I thought maybe it could be a BookMark-Change event that will fire the Macro. Or maybe I could put a button in the form that says "Calculate" and then that would fire the manual "update" function via VBA code. I hope you understand what I am asking.

    - VBA - totally disable Enter Key in Word Form? Keypreview in Word? FIRST, I've read the MS KB article on how to insert 4 macros into a word form to make the enter key act as a tab, and that is not the answer I need. I want to keep the conditional formatting in my data-entry table cells in my Word form. I see a lot of questions that ask this, but none that seem to ask/answer this specific question. I want to totally disable the use of the Enter key in my Word form, NOT try to use it as TAB. I have created a form in Word 2002, which will be a template that users can use to create a new form they can fill out. I am using EXACT row heights, and the form is ready to go. However, I don't want the user to be able to press the ENTER key in the form because it creates a new line, and I'm working with NOVICE users, so I don't want ANYTHING to be confusing at all (or the work won't get done!). So, I want to totally disable ENTER key use via a Word function or VBA, so that nothing happens when they press it, maybe just a Message-Box telling them that ENTER is disabled (they can navigate by TAB and MOUSE). Surely this is possible, especially in VBA code. Does Word have a Keypreview property that I can change? Set KeyValue=0, or something? When the doc opens, a Macro runs that disables the enter key by setting its value to 0? If you can help me with this, I'd appreciate it. A reading of many discussion threads got me close to the answer, but doesn't have my situational context. Tag: How to set the sequence of movements of the "tab" key Tag: 115136

    - Character Limits and Macro Spell Check I have a document with forms in it, and there are a few sections where I have to limit the number of characters. So I inserted a Legacy Form Field text box and then limited the characters through properties. However, when I try to run a spell check macro, it is spell checking all of my other form fields (these are RichText content controls), except for this one. I tried inserting a RichText content control into the Legacy Form Field, but that wouldn't work either. I just need to limit the characters people are typing in this section and then spell check. To be honest, I don't even care if it's protected or not. I've tried this macro: Sub SCForm() ActiveDocument.Unprotect Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub And this one: Sub FormsSpellCheck() ' If document is protected, Unprotect it. If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="not2day" End If ' Set the language for the document. Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS ' Perform Spelling/Grammar check. If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar Else ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling End If ' ReProtect the document. If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End If End Sub The same thing happens. It checks everything but the character limiting one. I also tried the one recommended on the MVP, and I couldn't get that one to work at all. I wasn't quite sure what to copy/paste and what to delete from that huge section. Thanks in advance. Tag: How to set the sequence of movements of the "tab" key Tag: 115133

    - Set Focus and Incorrect Dates I'm having a problem with getting SetFocus to work and with 1/1/2008 being recognized as later then 12/31/2007. I have listed the code below. (Sorry this is so long). It originally had a Cancel = True on the Event but I was asked to remove it. The reason being if the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate is before the txt BenefitPeriodBeginDate but it's the begin date that was entered incorrectly then the user has to enter a date in the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate before it will allow them to get back to the txtBenefitPeriodBeginDate. The two sets of dates I have work together. They are: txtBenefitPeriodStartDate txtBenefitPeriodEndDate (must be later then txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) txtHRAStartDate (must be later or equal to txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) txtHRAEndDate (must be later then txtHRAStartDate and equal to the txtBenefitPeriodEndDate) Since they do work together I just want to remove the text from txtBenefitEndDate and keep the cursor there because if it moves to txtHRAStartDate then I get that message if I click into txtBenefitPeriodStartDate. Here is the code for txtBenefitPeriodEndDate and txtHRAStartDate: Private Sub txtBenefitPeriodEndDate_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ' 5.) Benefit Period End Date must be greater then 4.) 'Benefit Period Start Date. If txtBenefitPeriodEndDate.Value < txtBenefitPeriodStartDate.Value Then MsgBox "The Benefit Period End Date must be" _ & vbCrLf & "after the Benefit Period Start Date." txtBenefitPeriodEndDate = Null txtBenefitPeriodEndDate.SetFocus End If End Sub Private Sub txtHRAStartDate_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ' 6.) HRA Start Date must be later or equal to 4.) Benefit Period Start Date If txtHRAStartDate.Value < txtBenefitPeriodStartDate Then MsgBox "The HRA Start Date must be later or" _ & vbCrLf & "equal to the Benefit Period Start Date" txtHRAStartDate.Value = Null txtHRAStartDate.SetFocus End If End Sub I am just beginning to learn and am very confused why SetFocus doesn't seem to work. It seems to work fine if I want it to go in a forward motion but if I try to get it to stay where it is or go backwards it just doesn't work. Also, the dates. It works if 01/01/2008 (txtBenefitPeriodEndDate) is before 01/02/2008 (txtBenefitPeriodStartDate) but not if 12/31/2007 is prior to 01/01/2008. Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    - Filtering Columns in Word? Hi, Iâ??m trying to implement something similar to AutoFilter in Excel. I have several tables in a document. Two of the columns in each table are called â??Service Descriptionâ?? and â??Type of inspectionâ?? respectively. Since there are only three Types of inspection, a simplified version of those two columns could look as follows: â??Service Descriptionâ?? â??Type of Inspectionâ?? Description1 C1 Description2 C1 Description3 HGP Description4 HGP Description5 MI Description6 MI Let's suppose that every table has something similar to what's shown above. What I would like to accomplish is that through the click of a button or a macrobutton field or whichever you consider is the most appropriate event handler, every table in the document gets filtered based on the Type of Inspection. I was thinking about having three macrobutton fields, called "CI", "HGP" and "MI", so that upon double-clicking "CI" for example, every table in the document hides/unhides the appropriate rows. (i.e it only shows the rows that correspond to a CI Inpection Type). Is there a way to accomplish this? How can I refer to each table in a document? and moreover, How can I select the appropriate range to hide it based on the clicked button?

    - Word Macro for Printing Sections Hello, We have a form letter which is 2 pages. We do a mail merge from an Excel sheet. The mail merge creates a new word document with all of the form letters addressed to the different addressees. It appears that Word turns each set of pages into a section. This is fine. We then fax these to the addressees using our fax printer. I have created a macro that prints each section as an individual document which then gets faxed to the customer. The problem is the number of sections is a variable. One week it may be 90 the next it may be 100. The macro I created has 140 print sections in it. This works fine until the last section. Because the macro has 140 sections the last fax has not only the 2 pages it should have but then it back tracks and adds an additional 2 pages until it gets to 140. So the last fax may have 80 pages in it. I need the macro to understand how many sections there is and stop when it gets to the end. Any advise would be great! Thank you.

    - Preventing macro from copying over from template to document I have made a template which just puts in a date range then autosaves the file to a particular name when you close it. This create a new document, but all the macro coding from the template file is copied into the document. How can you set it so that the coding from the template isn't copied into the document? I would also prefer if the file isn't saved on close, but if the name and location of the document is just set by the macro (so when you go file>save it still lets you change the name and location if you want). But i coulnd't get it to go to the right directory. This is the code i have: Private Function WeekStart() As Date Dim wday As Byte wday = Weekday(Date) Select Case wday Case 1 WeekStart = Date Case 2 WeekStart = Date - 1 Case 3 WeekStart = Date - 2 Case 4 WeekStart = Date - 3 Case 5 WeekStart = Date - 4 Case 6 WeekStart = Date - 5 Case 7 WeekStart = Date - 6 End Select End Function Private Sub Document_Close() Sunday = Format(WeekStart() + 7, "d") Saturday = Format(WeekStart() + 13, "d MMM yy") FileTitle = Sunday & " - " & Saturday & ".doc" ActiveDocument.SaveAs "J:\Editorial\Magellan\Sickness Absence\Afghan\" & FileTitle End Sub Private Sub Document_New() Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="DateRange" Selection.InsertBefore Format(WeekStart() + 7, "dddd, d MMMM") Selection.InsertAfter " to " Selection.InsertAfter Format(WeekStart() + 13, "dddd, d MMMM yyyy") End Sub Thats all in the ThisDocument module.

    - Word 2007 Global Building Blocks Hi, I have put my Word 2007 autotext entries into one file as a BB.dotx and saved it in the default startup directory as noted in file Locations. I also create a .dotm macros file that access any custom autotext from that BB.dotx file. There is another program that has a template in the same folder. For some reason when this other programs template is running I get an error that says my BB.dotx or Macros.dotm file says it is read-only. The .dotx and .dotm files get pushed out to the users C:/ drive and is not on a network. If I change my Macros.dotm file to be 2003 compatible then only the bb.dotx file gives an read-only warning. Now I noticed if I saved my BB.dotx file to the ...\Application Data \Microsoft\Building Blocks folder, then I don't get the error anymore. However the problem is I don't want the Building Blocks to be in the users directory. Is there a way to change the global location for Building Blocks or a better way of doing this?

    - Macro to access Outlook 2007 Hello, Ok, so here's my issue. Do to the security settings in my office, Outlook 2007 is set up so you can not write any VBA code or create any macros. But I have this report that is made up every morning and I have began the processes of trying to automate this report in Word 2003, and in this doc I have calculated fields, linked excel charts/graphs, etc... . But a couple tables that are in this report are emailed to me every morning. The emails come as an attachment which opens up IE and displays a table.

    - change font color macro In Word 2003, I've written a macro to change specific parts of the text in a document to Dark Red (RGB 128,0,0) with a Find/Replace.

Here's what I have so far: With ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range 'Wipe out header .Select Selection.Delete 'Add table .Tables.Add Range:=ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=2 .Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Select Selection.TypeText Text:="Text goes here" .Tables(1).Cell(1, 2).Select 'Selection.TypeText Text:= Dim rng As Range Set rng = .Tables(1).Cell(1, 2).Range rng.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight rng.Text = "Page " rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd rng.Fields.Add rng, wdFieldPage Unfortunately, at that last line, I get Run-Time Error 4605: "This command is not available." I've narrowed it down to the fact that it's in a table. How can I fix this? I'm working on Word 2007 12.0.6311.5000. Thanks! Tag: How to set the sequence of movements of the "tab" key Tag: 114992

    - Input on how to generate charts in word from Access data I need to automatically generate a word document that has a number charts (approx 17). If needed I can predefine the properties of each chart (type, axis, title etc). The data is in a Access database. Pulling data into a template would be fine if possible, or anything else that works. Could you give me some pointers as how to go about this? Should I export data to an Excel file with predefined charts and then automatically link these into the word document? Or should I export values directly into word and use the Graph-object to display the charts? I'm very good at Access VBA, moderately good at word-vba. Thanks for any input.

    - Problem Inserting graph Hi, I use the code below which I got from here to insert a line graph, which works. But shows a bar chart before changing to a line graph which can take some time to change and seems to be messing things up. So I have place the following code after it to to pause things to see if it helps. Dim StartTime StartTime = Timer Do While Timer < StartTime + 60 DoEvents ' Yield to other processes. Loop While this does seem to help, sometimes, itâ??s a bit slow and takes a bit to long. Is there a way of refreshing things so that the change is immediate? Also do I have â??diag.ChartType = xlLineâ?? in the right place? I would like to point out I have changed it so it now takes the data from a file and not a table. Why does this change the num lock?

    - Word 2007 DocVariable losing vbCr on File Close/Open Hello all I am storing data from a UserForm in a Word 2007 document in DocVariable fields. Some docvariables are being loaded from multiline textboxes via code like: ActiveDocument.Variables.Add "v1", TextBox1.Text For test data, assume I type in "a" plus ENTER plus "b" into the text box (without the double quotes) - so my textbox contains an "a" plus a vbCrLf plus a "b". After running the above Variables.Add line in my OK_click routine and closing down the userform, I then run this macro to display the contents of the docvariable (all Dim statements etc removed to keep it short): Sub aaa() v = ActiveDocument.Variables("v1") For i = 1 To Len(v) s = s & Asc(Mid(v, i, 1)) & " " Next MsgBox s End Sub As expected, this displays "97 13 10 98". If I now save the document in native DOCX or DOCM format, close it, reopen it, and then rerun the same macro, it will now display "97 10 98". The action of closing and re-opening the document loses the vbCr (i.e. the ascii 13). This is NOT what happens in earlier versions of Word. Any ideas on how to stop this? All of the {docvariable v1} field codes in the document display correctly (i.e. show the paragraph mark) until you close and reopen the document. After reopening the document the "a" and the "b" will be on the same line - i.e the paragraph mark is now missing in the document.

    - Editing template with Image to be changed. I have over 100 documents and I have to change a small image that needs to be changed. Is there a way to search a document for the first graphic Object it finds and replace them with another one?

    - Way to print out more then first page I have a word document that has a Table of Contents that uses hyperlinks. The user selects the article they would like to view via the TOC and is taken to the document. from there they click on a button on the page that is to print out the document currently in view. However some of the documents have overflown into two or more pages. Is there a way to build a function that the document runs prior to the user clicking on the TOC so that the function knows the number of pages assigned to each link in the TOC. That function then passes the number of pages to the Application.PrintOut method to assure that all the pages are printed? The function would have to be smart enough to figure out the pages as this function would be embedded in a template file for further use by the users.

    - Macro - Subtract one day from current date Hello, I have been reading past posts from people who want to auto put a date in their document that is not currentdate. I have read "WORD Date & Time Manipulation: Tips & Techniques" document and I tried doing exactly what it has and I am not getting any closer to my goal. So I think a macro could be the best bet. So what I want to do (and I am open to suggestions about how it should be done), I want to insert a date in a field, text box or whatever works best, and have the macro subtract one day from the current day(TODAY) so it will show yesterday's date, in this format "d-MMMM".

Hi,

I have put a number of textboxes on an userform. When I move around
the textboxes by pressing the "tab" key, the sequence of moving from
one textbox to another is not what I want. Can I change the sequence
of movements of the "tab" key?

Mike

In object view in VBA, right-click anywhere on the â??backgroundâ?? of the
userform and select Tab Order. In the dialog box that opens, you can move all
items up or down as desired.

If you have used frames in the userform, you can set the tab order within
each frame. If you right-click the frame and select Tab Order, the dialog box
will list only the objects in the frame.
