    - How to determine if a .doc file is already open? Hello, friends, This may not belong here, but I could not find the proper group. In c#.net 2005, we use office interop to start different .doc files. The source code are as the follows: object fileName = fullPathFileName; object newTemplate = false; object docType = 0; object isVisible = true; if (wordApp != null && wordApp.Documents != null) { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = wordApp.Documents.Add(ref fileName, ref newTemplate, ref docType, ref isVisible); wordApp.Visible = true; } The above worked for the first document opening without problem. What we want to do is: We need to check if the next given fullFileName is already open. If yes, we just bring it to front, rather than to open a duplicate one. Otherwise, open it using above code. The source code for this checking are like the follows: if (wordApp != null) { foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc in wordApp.Documents) { if (String.Compare(doc.FullName, fullPathFileName, true) == 0) { doc.Activate(); return; } } } However, we found the doc.FullName had the value Document1 for the first open .doc file, therefore, failed the checking, and always caused a previously given fullFileName being opened again. Any ideas, reference paper or snippet? Thanks a lot! Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109410

    - UserForm field fill-in issue I have a combobox on a UserForm that I want to use to "push" data to the various fields. The problem I see is that no matter what I use- the AfterUpdate event or the OnChange event, the fields don't get filled until the enduser clicks on the form. How can I get the form to paint itself automatically without this user input? Here's the comboboxx code: Private Sub PTNAME_AfterUpdate() [DOB] = [PTNAME].Column(2) [FNAME] = [PTNAME].Column(1) [ACCT] = [PTNAME].Column(3) [LNAME] = [PTNAME].Column(0) End Sub Any ideas?

    - Inserted picture not showing up in Word My mum wants to put a picture into a word document for her journal. She says that this has never been a problem before, but this time the picture is not showing up. Its just a huge blank box. However it's showing in 'Print Preview'. I tried to insert the same picture on my laptop into word and it worked first time. So I emailed the word document to her, so she could copy if from my word document to hers, but the picture still didn't show up! Does anyone know how to get it show up?

    - Sound Recorder OLE I have two solutions possible for a problem. Left clicking on a Sound Recorder OLE linked to a wav file results in the sound clip playing but no way to stop it. Annoying if the clip is long and just a "peek" is needed. If you right click you can chose Edit Sound Object and the Sound Recorder window opens, but you have to click on play to start it. 1) Can the default OLE verb be changed so "2" so the Recorder is opened rather than the sound just being played? Or is athere a command to stop the Playback available in VBA? or 2) Is there a VBA Method available (after opening the Soud Recorder with a macro) to start/stop the playback, i.e. manipulate the buttons on the Object programmatically?

    - Attached Templates Because I have all our templates on the server, I end up having trouble replacing the templates after editing because of "open files". I'd like to start detaching templates from ordinary documents upon opening. I have a global macro file that gets saved in everyone's startup folder. I'd like to add the following vba to this file: With ActiveDocument .UpdateStylesOnOpen = False .AttachedTemplate = "" End With so that whatever document gets open, if there is an attached template, it would get removed. Eventually (I hope), none of my templates will show up under "open files" on the network. Would this work? What would I call the macro to have it automatically run no matter what document gets open?

    - Menu Bar Option disappears Using Office XP 2003 Created a template for use with our documents containing macros and numbering styles etc which I put on as Menu bar drop down options. Have also just upgraded to Workshare Professional 5.0. from Deltaview 2.9 Now, when you save a document which uses this template, the Menu bar option disappears. The only way to get it back is either close out of the document or go to tools, templates & add ins and either attach the same template again or tick or untick the automatically update styles box.

    - macro to remove password doesn't work Hi All, I recorded a macro in Word to remove a password in a word file but it doesn't work. The document has a password for editing, however when I open the doc it asks me to type the password. In the macro I open the Options Tab and remove the password then I close the options window and save the file. The password is then empty. However when I close the file and open it again I still have to type the password and when I look at the Option window again the password is back. Is this magic or what? When I don't use a macro but do everything by hand the password is gone and it is saved correctly. Marco Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109374

    - Drop downs won't retain entry macros: Drop downs won't retain entry macros: I created a rather large template for our staff to use when filling in information about "xyz"... When they click the first parent drop down the corresponding information populates in the child drop down. Some what like a cascading drop down. My problem is the staff filled out all of the information for the first section of the year on "xyz". It is now the second section and time to reopen the "xyz" file and update the information. When they click the parent drop down that contains the populate vb macro to populate the child drop down the "run macro on entry" is empty. I can go in and choose what macro i want but i would have to do this with over 100 questions. Shouldn't word have retained the macros in the drop downs? every one of them are empty. Therefore when I click the first Parent drop down, the second one is blank unless i go in and select the macro that was originally in that field. I'd be happy to send a copy of the document to anyone that would be interested in giving me a hand... ANY help would be greatly appreciated Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109349

    - Limitation of a form field of 255 Characters Hi!! I am trying to use a macro to fill in a field in a form with a paragraph I copy from an EXCEL cell. The problem is that this paragrph has more than 255 characters so it doesn't seem to work directly. I have seen some article that sugest to use the clipboard as a way to overcome this problem. Then, the code I have programmed is as follows: Range("T"&fila) returns the paragraph from the EXCEL cell. wdFF is defined as Object in wordFile.Formfields. rngx is defined as Range If Len(Range("T" & fila)) > 255 Then wdFF.Result = Left$(Range("T" & fila), 250) MyDataObj.SetText "" MyDataObj.PutInClipboard MyDataObj.SetText Mid$(Range("T" & fila), 256) MyDataObj.PutInClipboard Set rngx = wdFF.Range rngx.GoTo rngx.Select With wordFile.Selection .Collapse wdCollapseEnd .Paste End With Else wdFF.Result = Range("T" & fila) End If The macro works fine until it arrives to the sentence "Set rngx = wdFF.Range" where it stops and says that formats are not compatible (rngx is defined as a range). Any idea of how to solve the problems with the code? Does the rest of the code for the macro look fine? Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109296

    - Dropdown Button Values Hi, I have done a form and I have included a dropdown button that allows to select among 6 different values that are predetermined.

Should I use a macro that fills in the values for the second dropdown button once the value for the first one is selected? Any suggestion on how this code should look like?

    - Another dreaded "loop through the document" question Using Word 2007. I promise that I have looked through the code here but my programming skills are rusty and VBA is NOT my "thing". I have a long (200+ page) document that begins life as an HTML file generated by a test bank program. I've written a long macro that does a lot of cleanup work using find/replace and it works great. However, I'm not quite satisfied with my results. This test bank doesn't get monkeyed with often so I don't care how slow or clunky the macro is and I don't care to spend hours and hours getting it perfect. The edited document contains between 450 and 500 questions, each in the format shown below. All paragraphs are in the Normal style (with no space above or below) except the question number (e.g, 13 of 465), which is in Normal (Web) (which has space before and after). I'll show returns as <r>. = indicates a horizontal rule that is the full width of the page, - indicates a horizontal rule that is half the width of the page. =========================================== 13 of 465<r> This is the question. It may be one or more paragraphs. Each paragraph ends with two returns.<r> <r> (some questions have a graphic)<r> <r> a. This is the first answer.<r> b. This is the second answer.<r> c. This is the third answer.<r> d. This is the fourth answer.<r> -------------------------------------------<r> This is the feedback shown if the student gives the wrong answer. It may be more than one paragraph.<r> <r> a.<r> ================================================== 14 of 465<r> etc. I want the information below the possible answers to show the correct answer before the feedback, like this: -------------------------------------------<r> a.<r> This is the feedback shown if the student gives the wrong answer. It may be more than one paragraph.<r> ================================================== I have recorded a macro which finds the correct answer, cuts it, then searches for the graphic immediately above it (which is always the short horizontal rule) and pastes it after that graphic, then formats with a style that has space below. I'm not worried about two hard returns in a row right now because I can search and replace those later. I just want to get the answer and the feedback swapped for now. Here's the code that I recorded. I just need to know what to put around it to make it run repeatedly until it gets to the end of the document. I'm sure this is a stupidly simple thing, but I'm having no luck. I understand the concept of loops, I just don't know what variable to check for to do this until the end of the document is reached. If there's a way to search for a horizontal rule (and differentiate between full-width and 50% width), I'm all eyes because I may need to differentiate between graphics that are pictures and those that are lines.

For some reason, whenever anyone has a document based on the template open on their desktops, if anyone else tries to base a document on the template, they get a "Field Review.dotm is locked for use by (Name of person using it)", then gives the option to open "Read Only". My understanding is that multiple users should be able to have documents that are based on the same template open without locking the template. Am I missing something or is this a Word 2007 bug?

    - Help cleaning up bad paragraph breaks Windows XP Pro SP2 MS Word 2003 SP3 I have inherited a document that was originally created in Notepad and has paragraphs that look like the psuedo-paragraphs below: xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxx x xxx^p I'm looking for a fast way to remove the unnecessary paragraph breaks while preserving a blank line between the actual intended paragraphs. I've written a macro that will do this on a selection, but I can only do it one small selection at a time as the macro will also delete the blank line between the intended paragraphs. Any ideas? Thanks! -gk- Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109244

    - Added Text and Tables to a template, updating TOC Hi all I have this major problem. I have loaded the document template with consists of a TOC and two headings link this TOC (Page 1) Heading 1 (Page 2) Boomark Heading 3 (Page 2) What I want is to replace the bookmark between the two heading with alot of data, which mean that Heading 3 will be on page seven. Basically I have two problems 1. When I use object oBookMark = "bookmark"; Bookmark metaBookmark = this.oDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookMark); Word.Paragraph oPara; oPara = this.oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add(ref metaBookmark.Range); oPara.Range.Text = "Text1"; oPara.Format.SpaceAfter = 6; oPara.Range.InsertParagraphBefore(); Word.Paragraph oPara; oPara = this.oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add(ref metaBookmark.Range); oPara.Range.Text = "Text2"; oPara.Format.SpaceAfter = 6; oPara.Range.InsertParagraphBefore(); The Output in the document is Text2 Text1 Where I was expecting Text1 and then Text2. It seems that it is inserting it in reverse. I have tried using InsertParagraphAfter(), but with a even worse result. What am I doing wrong ? Hope for any of you gurus to help. If you can answer how to update the TOC when done that would be great. Cheers Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109234

    - Delete a paragraph up to a specific character hi, i am trying to find a way to delete all text/characters in a paragraph up to (and including) the last occurence of a backslash within that paragraph, throughout the document. using the GNU regexp i would select something like "^.*\\" and delete it. so from a paragraph like Subject\heading\section1\part2\topic3 only the following should remain topic3 i tried to get this using search/replace but i failed with the unknown number of characters which are to be replaced and the beginning of the paragraph. please also note that some paragraphs have automatic numbering but i assume that this should not make any difference as the numbers should stay as they are. any help on this is appreciated. cheers, thomas Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109233

    - Need to have form field end up with data generated by macro that is I just had a Word form task dumped on me, which would not be a problem if I had spent a lot of time working with forms in the past. But I haven't. I need to create a form field, run a macro on entry (or exit, if more appropriate), and have the macro results end up in the form field when I'm done. For example, a one line macro that places the result of application.username into the field. Its probably very obvious to most everyone, but right now I'm missing it. thanks in advance david Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109222

    - Searching for exact number of spaces Hello, Is there a way to search for an exact number of "regular" spaces. I want Word to search for 6 spaces. These spaces were caused by blank form fields that were unlinked. The problem that I'm having is that my document also contains 15 and 30 hard spaces that are used to create a spot for handwriting. The find and replace is removing the hard spaces that I want to keep. Thanks. j Tag: can I put in a timezone toggle button Tag: 109218

See the article "How to assign a Word command or macro to a hot-key" at:

See the article "How to assign a Word command or macro to a toolbar or menu"
at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm

Just what code you will need to have in the macro will be determined by how
the times are inserted into the document. Are they in formfields as used in
a protected document? or are they just regular text? In what format are the
times displayed?
