    - esoteric Word VBA run order issue - not trying to scare off anyone I created a form and some VBA code behind it in a Word doc file. Under the ThisDocument (Microsoft Word Objects) for Document_Open() I have the following code: Private Sub Document_Open() form1.Show End Sub That kicks off the form but I get a Run-time error '5852': Requested object is not available. I did a line by line execution run and found that the error occurs in this line strPatMasterID = ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("PatentMasterID").Value The problem is order in which the code is executed. The mailmerge (based on msquery) is kicked off after the form opens (or in this case because of the error, when I click "end" to stop the code)... so obiviously it cannot retrieve the mailmerge.datasource.datafields if the mailmerge doesn't run first. So, does anyone how now I can manipulate the run order of the VBA code or explicitly force the msquery to run first before I retrieve the data? Would setting a timer work? thanks in advance for your help Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87594

    - Formatting in endnote to text macro? I've just come across a Word macro Doug Robbins posted on Google Groups some time back to convert endnotes to text (below). I'm grateful for this, which will be useful as I and a co-author have a lot of endnotes to convert before submitting a book. When I run it, however, I lose all the formatting in my endnotes, which is a problem for all the italicized book titles in my notes. Is there any way to retain this formatting? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    - value for record at EOF (Using Word 2003) I have 20 records in a database and the ID of the 20th record is 24. Whenever I attempt to extract the ID# of the last record, it only shows the count (in other words, returns 20 instead of 24), using this code: jbID = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("jbID").Value If someone can show me an example of what should go before this so as to return the value of the last record, I'd appreciate it. I've tried different things with recordsets and EOF but I keep getting errors, even after setting up all the references for ADO and DAO. I'm connecting to the database since it's returning the record count, but I can't seem to pull up the actual value of the ID field in the last record.

    - Search and Replace This is probably a crude, brutish way to attack my problem, but given my limited knowledge, that is all I have. My question is: Is there a way to search for particular text and replace each instance with a blank Text Form Field? Background: I have made a merge document to fill in data from our client(s). There are some areas of the document that are not worth tracking in our database and will need to be filled in manually. I have found that mergefields and form fields do not play well together because of the locking requirement for form fields. Our secretaries are not well-versed in Word, and I am trying to make it as easy and error-free as possible to complete these documents. My idea was to complete the merge and then have them run a macro (from a custom menu) that unlinked the mergefields, replaced "**" throughout the text with a Text Form Field, then locked the document for the remaining data entry so that they could tab from area to area and fill in the required missing information. Like I said probably crude and brutish in an attempt to be efficient and helpful. Thanks for any pointers. Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87557

    - Fonts for Word "Fields" when setting values We have a java application in which we create custom fields in MS Word using JACOB. On user initiation the fields are populated with values. If after creating the fields and change the FONT to a BARCODE font and when the fields are getting replaced with values, the BarCode font is not retained. The values are shown in original font. This happens only in Word 2003. The Bar Code font is retained for field values in Word 2000. Is there any setting or property to be set so that Bar Code fonts are retained for field values. The machine has Bar Code fonts installed. Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87546

    - TOC helper - replace hidden paragraph with style separator I work at a help desk with a large number of Word users and occassionally run into the problem where users either are not familiar with using the style separator (to assist in creating run-in headings so that only the heading, not the body text, shows up in the TOC) or are older documents that used hidden paragraph marks. Since multiple people can work on a document, we sometimes end up with documents that partly use style separators and partly use hidden paragraph marks - VERY confusing. So I created the following script to replace the hidden paragraph mark with the style separator (for Word 2002 & above). Although this code has been working well for the past several days, we are still testing it. If you would like to use it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save the document you are going to try it on first. Although I cannot imagine why it would cause any problems, it is designed to replace items in the document, so there is always the chance I may have overlooked something.

    - Inserting HTML into Word (Word 2003) Hi, I have a situation in which I need to copy the contents of an HTML, complete with its CSS files and images, into a Word document. The simple solution is to use the command Selection.InsertFile which is equivalent to choosing File / Insert from the menu. However no matter what parameters I give to Selection.InsertFile, I keep getting the same message: "Recording Clipboard style sheet will require copying many styles. Do you want to use Normal style instead?" The correct answer to this question is NO because it preserves all the formatting. However I can't find any switch to make this dialog disappear and answer NO. How can I close this dialog while answering NO programmatically?

    - How to find style separator code through VBA? In our company, we have a number of older documents that used hidden paragraph marks instead of style separators. The purpose of both is to separate headings from body text for easier generation of TOC. I am finding a number of documents that have a combination - hidden paragraphs marks & style separators - and it gets confusing to view these documents when hidden paragraph marks turned on (pagination will change). While my routine works, I do not like the fact that hidden paragraph marks & style separators do not appear to be distinguishable programatically; visually you can tell the difference because style separators have a light dotted frame around them. I was wondering if there is a way to distinguish the style separator from other codes.

When a new actor is added, I want to recreate the list and add the new Actor (or add the new Actor to the end of the existing list). I have inserted a bookmark at a section which will have a numbered list, named "ActorNames", and move the cursor there by calling: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("ActorName").Select However, I need to be able to select the entire numbered list (if it exists, if not, create a new one), delete it, and recreate it when a new actor is added to the list. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87431

    - How to get Word Header String from within Excel VBA? I have a macro that pulls information from a word file but can't get to the Header string. In word2003, I can get the following vba command to pull the text from the header. The question is how to run this command from within Excel. Working Word VBA Command test = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text Failed Excel VBA Command test = oWord.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text Excel VBA Error: "Compile Error. Methood or data member not found." For reference, I've used the following other commands to run Word from Excel: Dim oWord As Word.Application Set oWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application") oWord.Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With oWord.Selection.Find .Text = "Product/DRD FAM" .Wrap = wdFindContinue End With oWord.Selection.Find.Execute 'Finds Start of EWO Body oWord.Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Thanks!

    - Change header StyleRef exec timing? You can use StyleRef fields in a header to detect, say, the first and last names on a page of regular text, but if you use the same header on a page containing endnotes, you get only error field results. This is odd because you can, for instance, use Find to search through endnote text. Why is it that StyleRef in a header fails to do essentially the same thing? Is there a way to force the interface to evaluate a StyleRef field in a header on a page containing endnotes? -- J. M.

    - Radio Button ghost when using scroll bar or mouse wheel I've created a MS Word form with approximately 40 radio buttons on it in a table. In testing, I've noticed that when you use the scroll bar or mouse wheel to go to the second page or further, the radio buttons seem to leave a ghost image of themselves on the second page. Does anyone know what causes this and if it can be fixed? Thanks much! Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87417

    - Word stopping printer I am using WORD 97. I have a routine which adds text to a document and then prints out. The code batches the documents into two print runs. After the first batch have been sent to the printer. A message box is then displayed which confirms that the documents have been printed. For some reason the message box stops the print routine until 'okay' ot 'cancel' button pressed. Is there any way programmatically that this can be prevented, and if so would someone please supply me with a solution. Thanks -- Mark Tag: how can I set tab stops for only fill-in areas of the document? Tag: 87416

    - Test whether a table is captioned from VB Am developing a VB script in Word 2003 to perform a few quality checks on documents against a few rules. One of my rules is that "All tables and figures must have a caption". How can I check this? Is there any association between table/figure and caption that I can test?

I want to be able to tab to different areas of my document where a blank
needs to be filled in, and ONLY those areas. I want to start at the top of
the document and have my tabs go to the next blank that needs to be filled
in, and so on.

You want what Word calls a protected form (or sometimes "online
form"). See http://www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms for a
simple tutorial.
