 - VB Help When I try to run a Word macro named UpdateTOC, I receive a "Run time error '5678': Word cannot find the requested bookmark." message. 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 to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row. 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 to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row.

 - 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 to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row. 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 to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row. 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.

 - AutoText This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01C5393F.83374ED0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have some questions about creating AutoText entries. This is going to = be long-winded so bear with me, because there is a very specific reason = for doing this. =20 I have been using the following code using two input boxes to create = AutoText entries, and either assign that entry to an existing category = (such as Mailing Instructions) or create a new category (such as = Stamps). =20 =20 Public Sub CreateNewAutoText() Dim strATName As String Dim strATCategory As String 'Get the AutoText Name Dim Message, Title Message =3D "Enter the name for the AutoText Entry" ' Set prompt.

Following is = the code for the userform: =20 Public strATCategory As String Public strATName As String Private Sub cmdCancel_Click() Unload Me End Sub =20 Private Sub cmdOK_Click() Selection.CreateAutoTextEntry strATName, strATCategory Unload Me End Sub =20 Private Sub txtATCategory_Change() strATCategory =3D txtATCategory.Text End Sub =20 Private Sub txtATName_Change() strATName =3D txtATName.Text End Sub =20 Using either of the above methods, an AutoText entry is created in = Normal.dot. This is fine for most users on the network, however, I = would like to extend the macro for IT staff so that when they create a = new AutoText entry that should be firmwide, it can be created in their = global template (currently SKGlobal.dot) and distributed to users, = without overwriting the user's Normal.dot. =20 =20 I know that most consultants recommend locking down Normal.dot (making = it read only), but if you do this, you disable any customization on the = user's part. They cannot create new AutoText, formatted AutoCorrect, = Macros, or custom toolbars. This slows productivity on their part. = What I do for my clients is create a new template that all new documents = are based on (i.e., SKBlank.dot). The File, New menu option and the = blank document icon on the standard toolbar (and the Word icons on the = desktop or Programs menu) are remapped so that all new documents not = based on another template (such as letter, memo, fax, etc) are based on = this template rather than on Normal.dot. This way, the users can have = access to store customizations of their own in Normal.dot. =20 I would like to extend the above userform for the IT staff at the = company to create new AutoText entries in their global template (in this = case, SKGlobal.dot) rather than in Normal.dot. =20 =20 I have done some testing with the above procedures. They both work very = well for creating AutoText entries in Normal.dot, with the name you = specify and creating a new category if needed. All new entries created = are stored in Normal.dot. However, if I then try to copy the new = entries to the SKGlobal.dot, they are copied in a different way. Each = entry is copied with the name of the AutoText entry as a category and as = an AutoText entry under that category with the same name. For example, = I previously created AutoText entries named Draft and Draft Autodate = under the category Stamps, which was stored in Normal.dot. If I use the = Organizer to copy those entries into SKGlobal.dot, then choose Insert, = AutoText, I will see a category in the drop down list named Draft, which = has an AutoText entry named Draft and a Category named Draft Autodate, = which has an AutoText entry named Draft Autodate. =20 =20 Is there anyway when using either of the above methods of creating new = AutoText entries that I can specify the template that the AutoText = should be stored in? =20 Sorry for the long-winded message, but I am desparate here.

I can't write any receipe to the rewritable disc becase it appears a message of "read only document " and my students said that also. I copied the template to every rewritable disc that I ask for the proyect and I can't copy any information into the template once it is in the disc. anything can't be saved because of the read only message. How can I avoid this and prepare the document to be use by the students in order to create their own receipe books for the class. Thank You Luisa Montero Hme Economics class teacher Tag: How to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row. Tag: 66207

 - Keeping fonts when saving documents from e-mails I received a document that is "read only" in my e-mail. One of the fonts in the e-mail is "Gregorian". When I use the "Save as" feature, then reopen the document, the font changes from "Gregorian" to what the program believes is "Gregorian". The font is actually Time New Roman. Part of the problem is that I do not have the Gregorian font isntalled on my computer, and I do not know how to get it there. Is there a way to keep the same font????

 - VBA, OCX and system folders If this isn't the right place to ask this, please redirect me to that place. I have written an OCX component that will scan from a scanner. When I try to use it within VBA and Microsoft Word it fails. I have narrowed it down to the fact that it is not being granted access to certain folders. So when it tries to access the ds file in the C:\Windows\TWAIN_32 folder it errors out. Is there a setting that would allow my OCX to be called from VBA, but still get access to system files? Another folder that it cannot get access to is the users temporary folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp This puzzles me because that folder is pretty generic.

 - Tool(s) for additional table options Has anyone seen any existing tools for providing additional options for tables? For example, there are a number of tools to create what are known as Bates labels (basically just numbered labels), but they all create a *new* page each time rather than allowing you to start in the middle. Along a similar line (or would tha be row?), there is no simple way to print a sheet of labels starting on a specific row and I am looking for a tool that would add that functionality.

 - Global Templates I use Office 2003 and am new at MS Word macros. As I was starting to create a few macros that I would want to use for some time, I was advised to put them into a special global template for safe keeping in case I had to start over with a clean normal.dot. Although this still sounds like good advice, it along with a few other things have me a little confused. If someone can answer the following few questions, I think it will clear up my confusion. When I click Alt F8 (Macros) and click the dropdown arrow for "Macros in", I see 3 options, namely Normal.dot, Bob1-Global.dot (Global template), and Bob1-Global.dot (Template). The first one (Normal.dot) has 3 macros in it. The other 2 templates have not only almost the same name, but also the same 3 macros in them. The difference is that if I am viewing them in the Global Template, they are NOT editable. Here are the questions. 1. Why do there appear to be 2 templates called Bob1-Global.dot (one referred to as a global template and the other simply as a template)? 2. Is the advice I received earlier (to put my macros into a specialized global template (rather than the normal.dot (for safe keeping) good advice? 3. How can I move macros from one template to another? Thank you for your help. Bob Tag: How to shift up lines in a Word template (.dot) when previous row. Tag: 66140

 - Spelling Error Fequency For those who frequent these NGs regularly you know that I can't spell. Actually I can spell, but I am careless. I have been monkeying around with some code that will search a document then list alphabetically all misspelled words. I am using my budding but limited knowledge of arrays to sort the list and purge out duplicates so words that are misspelled more than once are only listed once. It works. I was thinking it would be helpful to determine and list how many times each word was misspelled. I think it would be possible, but I am not sure how I would proceed. Currently I am comparing each error to the contents of the existing array and if a match occurs I am skipping that error. This way identical misspellings the array only contains one instance of the misspelling. I don't see how I could work a counter into this process. Maybe if all words where put into the array initially, sorted in then compare the first to the second and if a match occurs delete the first and compare the second to the third until a match doesn't occur then jump up one error and proceed on. This sounds achievable, but I don't know how to do it. Any thoughts? Here is the current code: Sub printSpellingErrors() Dim arrSpArray() As String Dim oSpErrors As ProofreadingErrors Dim oSpError As Object Dim i As Integer Dim oRng As Range Set oSpErrors = ActiveDocument.Range.SpellingErrors If oSpErrors.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "The document contains no spelling errors." End End If ReDim arrSpArray(0) 'Add each error to the array if not a duplicate For Each oSpError In oSpErrors 'Compare to each exist element in the array For i = LBound(arrSpArray) To UBound(arrSpArray) If oSpError = arrSpArray(i) Then 'Skip if already in array GoTo SkipToNext End If Next i 'Otherwise add to array arrSpArray(UBound(arrSpArray)) = oSpError 'Preserve and resize array for next element ReDim Preserve arrSpArray(UBound(arrSpArray) + 1) SkipToNext: Next oSpError 'Remove last empty element If UBound(arrSpArray) > 0 Then ReDim Preserve arrSpArray(UBound(arrSpArray) - 1) 'Pass array to sort BubbleSort arrSpArray 'Prepare for display Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range oRng.Move 'oRng.Text = vbCr oRng.InsertBreak wdSectionBreakNextPage oRng.Move oRng.Text = "List of Misspelled Words" & vbCr oRng.Move i = 0 For i = LBound(arrSpArray) To UBound(arrSpArray) oRng.Text = arrSpArray(i) & vbCr oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Next i 'Clip empty paragraph oRng.Characters.First.Previous.Delete End Sub Sub BubbleSort(TempArray As Variant) Dim Temp As Variant Dim i As Integer Dim bolExchange As Integer Do bolExchange = False 'Loop through each element in the array.

G'day "lynn" <lynn@discussions.microsoft.com>,

You would need to test the row's length in characters to determine
whether it is empty or not. You can teach yourself some VBA at
word.mvps.org/FAQs/index.htm, then experiment with your
Selection.Tables(1) object.
