    - Compare files Greetings ! I have a copy of LIST.com by Vernon D. Buerg that I use frequently. It enables one to invesigate the contents of any file, very simply. I have a shortcut on my "Desktop", and, using Windows Explorer, I can simply drag a file name over the shortcut icon, and Voila! I can look at the file. In the Folder is a file provided with Windows, called FC. This marvellous program enable one to compare two files, to see how they differ. The current way I use it is to open a DOS window, change the Directory to that in which one file lies, and then type in "FC " followed by the path and the name of the second file. WOT a PalAver ! What I want is a simple desktop icon, onto which I can drop the first file. A "basket" shoud then open with a caption that says, "Drop the second file in here" and then a message window should open, showing the log file in NoteBook Does anyone know of something that does this? Pretty please ? -- Regards Robin Robin_B DOT Clay AT virgin DOT net Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82600

    - Tips for Speeding up Folks; After some help from Jezebel and Peter Jamison I have the code below working. YEAH! BUT (you knew that was coming right!) It is dog slow. It takes several minutes to process a one page document. I'm looking for ANY angles to improve the code! So let 'er rip!!! One thought I have is that Sub ReplaceRoster just blindly keeps hammering away with 'replace' when the tags have been exhausted. So I'd like to tweak it so it stops when there are no more '<' in the text... But I'm a little puzzled how best to structure that change. Thanks Again Jezebel and Peter!!

    - Set Focus on Form & Minimize Word I am fairly new to VBA - I apologize for the naive question. I've created a macro in word that opens a userform and minimizes Word. The problem is that when Word minimizes, the userform is no longer the focus and "falls" behind any other open windows. How do I minimize Word and place the focus on the form I just opened? Below is the code in Word I'm using. Sub Procedure() Load UserForm For Each myTask In Tasks If InStr(myTask.Name, "Microsoft Word") > 0 Then myTask.Activate myTask.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize End If Next myTask UserForm.Show End Sub In the ideal world I would prefer to have a stand alone application and never open Word, or if it opens, minimize/hide it immediately. All the functionality is built into the form. When I have the time to dedicate to it, I will migrate the code to VB. Does anyone have any tips to minimize the visibility of Word in this scenario? (No pun intended). Thanks, John Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82596

    - command bar won't delete in 2003 This appears to be a bug in Word 2003: We run code (by way of AutoExec macro in a global template in the Startup folder) to delete and then rebuild a company toolbar when the user starts Word. The following line deletes the Company toolbar: CommandBars("Company").Delete In Word 2003 when you go to Tools, Customize it will be gone. However it is still there when you look at the Organizer (from Tools, Templates and Add-ins) and, sure enough, when you restart Word 2003 the toolbar is back (in Word 97 it works fine, immediately disappearing from both Customize and Organizer). There's been some talk about CustomizationContext in previous threads but I've stepped through the code and the Context remains "Normal.dot" throughout. I've also checked the path of the Normal template in the Organizer so I know it's not another normal.dot I'm dealing with. Any ideas please? The users are on my back with all the duplicate toolbars that have started appearing in their Word... Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82575

    - Can't exit design mode because Control 'MyTextBox3' can not be created" I am trying to insert my control into Word 2003 and the results depend on Word macro's security setting. Code is following: ... MSWORD::InlineShapesPtr shapes; ... HRESULT hr = shapes->AddOLEControl(&controlType, &vEmpty, &shape); ... 1. Word security (Tools/Macro/Security) is set to 'Very High' - this code inserts the control without problem. 2. 'High' - the same. 3. 'Medium' - not tested because it displays "Enable/Disable Macros" dialog; 2. 'Low' - the code shoes message box - "Microsoft Visual Basic", "Can't exit design mode because Control 'MyTextBox3' can not be created". What is unreasonable here, that higher security level works fine in place where lower security does not work. Why it is implemented in such way and how to workaround it? Nickolai.

    - Global Text Replacement Folks; What I want to do is to replace ALL occurrences of 'ABC' with 'XYZ'. When I say ALL I mean ALL. Occurrences in the mainDocument, Headers, Footers, TextBoxes, TextBoxes in Headers, TextBoxes in Footers, Tables, Tables in Headers, and Tables in Footers. This on a Mac using 'do Visual Basic'. I've posted something in the Mac forum and it seems as soon as I mention 'do Visual Basic' I get pointed over here. Anyway a simple Find/Replace doesn't scour the text of Tables nor TextBoxes, though I've been told it should? could? The code below does what I need except for one small thing ... It doesn't work when I change the ActivePane to wdSeekPrimaryHeader or wdSeekPrimaryFooter So I've got it working MainDocument but the code goes brain-dead in Headers and Footers... Can someone point out what I need to do? Also the code below has an odd nested construct. I found similar code in the MSHelp files. Can someone clarify why the For .. While Not .. Wend Next construct is necessary? The code doesn't work in I unwind it to a simple For Next loop. _____________________________ ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges myStoryRange.Find.Execute FindText:="ABC",ReplaceWith:="XYZ",Replace:=wdReplaceAll While Not (myStoryRange.NextStoryRange Is Nothing) Set myStoryRange = myStoryRange.NextStoryRange myStoryRange.Find.Execute FindText:= "ABC",ReplaceWith:="XYZ",Replace:=wdReplaceAll Wend Next myStoryRange Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82560

    - Problem with "Editing and Updating a TOC" After posting a message on how to create a TOC using just the first word of some major paragraphs, I went out and bought the Microsoft book "Word 2003". Page 598 worked me through creating a TOC using the manual "Mark Table of Contents" method. But, after creating it, when I try to update it using the "Editing and Updating a TOC" section of page 599, Word tells me the document does not have a TOC. So, I found that to update a manually created TOC, I need to: Select the TOC, right click it, choose "Update Field" click "Update entire table" and OK that. As I am new at TOCs, there likely is a better way, anyway, both the online course that I took on TOCs and the Microsoft book could be updated to address this issue. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Range Start and End in Word 2003 Tables I am working with Word 2003. I need to select information between two bookmarks. The problem is this: I have a two column table. In Row1, Column1 before any text is a bookmark named CapBegin. The table could only be one row or it could be up to five rows. If it is only one row, after the last text character in Row1, Column1 is a bookmark named CapEnd. If the table is two rows, the CapBegin bookmark is at the beginning of the Row1, Column1 cell and the bookmark CapEnd is after the last text character in Row2, Column1 cell. I need to capture the text in between these two bookmarks (in column 1 only) and enclose it in a new bookmark named CaseInfo without any table cell markers. The reason for this is that I need to later capture the contents of CaseInfo, copy it, create a new document based on an existing document and paste it into an existing Table Cell as text, not as a nested table, but I need to retain the formatting of the text that is being copied. Both documents (source and destination have styles created with the same names, but with slightly different formatting). This is the code that I am currently using. However, using this code, the text is pasted into the new document using the Normal style. I need the text to be pasted using the styles that are applied in the original document.

    - Feasibility Question Dear All, Working in Office, 2003 with XP Pro workstations. We have a primary membership database running on Pervasive contains all our member data. It includes, from a recent upgrade, the ability to open a word template with merged date (using bookmarks) from the primary data file. We have a clipping service that provides images of clips, via a web site, that are stored as .pdf files. We have the ability to save these .pdfs (with odd numeric filenames) or "print" these .pdfs "via" Acrobat Distiller. The goal is to have a staff member who is reviewing clippings, be able to look up a member in our database and open a template that will run VBA on autoopen to automate sending the clip on screen to the members. So I'm speculating that it should be do-able, using VBA, to grab the member data -- name and e-mail address, save or print the "clip" file in the TEMP directory on the local workstation, open an outlook e-mail message, populate the address field, attach the attachment and leave the message open for the user to put in a personal note and click "send." Sound reasonable? Any hidden gotchas to watch out for? Sincerely, Ridge Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82481

    - Determining control type Can I determine what type of control I've landed on from the control itself? e.g. can I have a function like the following? Private Function GetControlType(ctrl as Control) as String if ctrl <is a textbox> Then GetControlType = "TextBox" ElseIf ctrl <is a checkbox> Then GetControlType = "CheckBox" .... End Sub Is there a property that reliably exists in every control that tells me its type? thanks, gary Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82472

    - How do I perform calculations from the result of a drop-down formf Hello - I need to be able to perform a mathematical calculation from the result of a drop-down form field. Example: I have a drop down box (NOT activeX) with 3 values, and I have another form field with a calculation based on the 'bookmark' name of the drop-down. However, Word does not appear to calculate anything whichever option I choose from my drop-down box (they are all numbers). Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

    - REPOST: XP, 2000 versions on same machine? I posted earlier about having both the XP and 2000 versions of Word and Excel on my machine. Jim Cone gave me a huge amount of very useful info. The very first item, though, was "install the earliest version first". That's not going to happen - IT updates our computers by simply applying an image. This image includes the XP version of Office. With that in mind, is there any extra precautions about installing the 2000 versions of Word and Excel on a machine with the XP versions already there? Ed Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82464

    - Auto Increment number on Document I need to make a macro for all new/template documents, so that at what ever line/place I am in the document it should bring me a number. And when ever in same document or any other document If I call the macro it should obtain me a preivious number+1. I mean just when ever I call this macro it should give me an increment number. I saw some codes on net for document /Form Type , with the help of bookmark it can be obtained. But in my case I cannot make any bookmark. As I will be using it as a reference number at any place in the letters. Sometime it is in the first line , some time it is at last line , its not fixed. Please advise me in details, as I am not good in VB. Note : I have Windows XP operating system and MS Office 2000 installed. And this autoincrement number should be obtained by all users of my PC (as 3 users are there of same PC) Regards. Irshad Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82463

    - Getting information from Access into Word Hi all, I'm very new to VBA, so my question here may look stupid or has been answered here a dozen times. Anyway I was not able to find the answers to my question. I have made a small Access database in which I have 4 tables. Table one contains (in every table there is of course a ID field) the names of products that we do analyses on, like wheat, flour, soyabeanmeal Table two contains the sort of analyses that we do on these products, like humidity, protein, etc Table three contains different methods that can be used to do these analyses, like ISO 712, EC, etc Table four contains the fields from the previous three tables, where we make all the possible combinations: for example: wheat can be analysed on humidity by method ISO something, but also by method ICC something. Now I want to make a letter in a Word template that shows on startup a user form with a number of comboboxes. In the first combobox the user can choose a product let's say wheat. When the user then clicks on the following combobox he will only see the different analyses possible for wheat, let's say humidity. When he then clicks on the third combobox he will only see the different methods that can be used to analyse the humidity of wheat. All this information should then go to the appropriate bookmarks in the Word document. I managed to connect to the database, because I can load a list of laboratories in a combobox that we can have these analyses assigned to (in case we are too busy) and then put name, address, postcode, town, etc on the appropriate bookmarks of the Word document. Any help is greatly appreciated. Luc Tag: sportsmanship Tag: 82461

    - setFocus on textbox in userform Hi I have a wordtemplate with a userform. The textboxes in the userform shows a default text from the beginning for ex the title textbox shows TITLE. My problem is that when the userform is shown I want the text in the textbox to be marked, like when you tab between textboxes with text the text is marked and when you write something you replace the text. I want this behavior also for the textbox that is first selected. I have tried to do this with setFocus but it only places the cursor after the text in the textbox. Thankful for help.

    - TextBox and Tables - a couple of questions Folks; What I want to do is essentially 'mail-merge' but the user is not going to be placing merge tags. They will simply put placeholders that I will substitute with data in my script. They will be placing the text in normal layout, inside of textboxes, and inside of tables. Could be some or all of the above. How do I determine if there are any TEXT BOXES and then iterate over them changing .Text any 'abc' to 'xyz'? (TextBoxes just puzzle me...) For Tables I've figured out that I can do: With ActiveDocument.Tables(1) For i = 2 To .Rows.Count For j = 1 To .Columns.Count [do something with .Cell(i,j).Range.Text] Next j Next i End With But: 1) How do I determine how many tables there are and then iterate over them successively? 2) Is there a smarter way than walking every thru cell and checking for .Range.Text? In the general layout (not in a TextBox or a Table) is this the preferred solution: With Selection.Find.Text ="abc" .Replacement.Text = "xyz"" .Forward = True .Wrap = 1 .Format = False End With ReplaceAll() Thanks for any insight!!

It's a euphemism for doing something which is against the rules but which
some people (those who use the term) like to claim is common practice in
order to justify doing it (and getting away with it) themselves - a bit like
posting an off-topic question in a newsgroup.

Why not try a dictionary?

Oh my! I had no idea!

I thought it referred to a sea-going vessel for human males who enjoy
practicing the occasional athletic activity!
