    - Find text with different font. Hi, I have a word document containg text with diffrent font. I need divide that document into blocks, where each block will have the same font. In other words, when the font is changed then new block should begin. I can do that by getting font of each character, and when font is diffreent, then just make a new block. But this is extremely slow. I takes 30 seconds on document with 2 pages. Do you think there is some faster way of doing this? PS: I'm accessing Word using OLE objects. But this shouldn't be different from VBA. -- Jiri Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 70038

    - How to unlink headers/footers correctly without using ActiveWindow Hey As a start I ran a macro with application visible. From the macro recorder I learned to use the following statement to unlink header/footer: Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage ' Cut link between herder/footer on page x and page x+1 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument BUT it didn't work when I changed to run the application invisible :-( In an earlier Q in this NG I was told that the ActiveWindow object only worked correctly when application was visible. I have tried to rewrite the script to the following: Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage ' Cut link between herder/footer on page x and page x+1 With ActiveDocument.Sections(ActiveDocument.Sections.Count) .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkToPrevious = False .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkToPrevious = False End With As far as I can see it does not work. When I manually enters the header on the new page (doubleclicking on the new header), it is STILL linked to previous page. What am I doing wrong? Ebbe Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 70036

    - Extract data from word to access? Hello, I am going to recieve about 250 word docs for a land survey project that are all the same format. The document will have 4 main sections, and then inside those, there will be details which will need to be captured (or harvested) and then saved as delimited text (or whatever will work best) for insertion into an access database. The problem is that most (80%) of the word doc is not formatted into any kind of tabular structure, at least from what I can tell. (As a side note - is there a way to check using something like reveal codes, as was in WP)? The only thing in common that each doc file has is that each file has the same keywords preceding the desired data value. MY QUESTION: Is there a way to have a VBA routine go through, and identify (which would be embedded in the VBA routine) keywords, and then based on that keyword, trigger a "copy" to action? There is always a consistent keyword preceding the desired data value. For example, here is a typical sentance (with the desired data value in {}, and the keyword in caps: EXAMPLE 1) That certain tract of land CONTAINING {105.899}acres, more or less... EXAMPLE 2) or another example in tabular format, separated by tabs (but shown here with commas and no separation); 1st line: *Surface,Mineral,Net 2nd line: Owner,*Interest,Interest,Mineral Acres 3rd line: John H. Smith,100%,50%,52.9495 * TO CLARIFY: The words Surface and Interest go together (like Surface Interest), just one on top of each other. Same for the words Mineral and Interest, as well as Net and Mineral Acres. In sum, I just want to know what are the ways that you can go into an existing word doc and extract the data that you need, that's all. I really don't know where to begin asking this, but if there is a better NG than this one, I'd apprieciate your direction on where I should post this. TIA. Phil Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 70026

    - Can I make a template like this? We are using a very old DOS-based input program. The narrative portion of the input form is very user-unfriendly, so most operators create their narratives in Word, then paste into the input program. Unfortunately, most Normal templates default to either Arial or Times New Roman, which are proportional-spaced fonts, and the input program uses a mono-spaced font (similar to Courier). It also does not recognize tabs or tables. The operators create these nice-looking charts and tables in Word using spaces and tabs - and they get all screwed up when they're pasted in. The QA operators then have to spend much time reformatting everything. I was thinking of trying to create a Word template for the operators that would reject any font except Courier, and reject all tabs. Is this possible? Ed Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 70006

    - compare and highlight differences Okay, I have two tables of contents in two separate files. A few of the entries in them may be repeats. I need to, from one of the files, run a macro that will look through every entry of that file's TOC, then compare each to the TOC of the other file (preference would be a dialogue way to point to the other file to use, but could also type into a dialogue, and worst case, can go into the macro and type in the path for each use...but would prefer to avoid having to go into macros, as others might be asked to use this who are less proficient), and finally highlight on the original file any that are found in the other file. Matches would be exact matches for the entire string except page numbers on each file would be different. Thx for any code assistance. -- Boris Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 70004

    - Word Input Dialogue boxes I am trying to create a word template where Dialogue boxes appear when a user opens the template that ask questions, e.g. Enter Name, Enter Address and so forth. Once the questions cycle through and the user reaches the end of them, the information is then presented at various points in the document. For example, if I created an application form, the form details would already be contained within the document, but the user would need to ask questions that open up in a dialogue box before the fields were populated. I have seen this before but have no idea how to duplicate it. Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69988

    - automating document management Brief (hopefully) question here. Thanks in advance. My goal is to write a macro that will, after having opened a series of documents within Word, allow me to do certain actions on them (proof-reading, printing, etc. - all to be done manually) and then, upon closing, automatically save them to a different folder (on the network) while deleting them from their original local folder. In effect, therefore, part of the process of closing the document will be to move it to a new location on a network server. I've worked out virtually all of this, but I cannot seem to delete the file from it's original location. I believe that this is because, even after saving it under a new name (actually, same name but different location), there is still a tilde-preceded reference to the file in the original folder, thus seemingly indicating that the original file is open. As such, I cannot delete it until I've closed it (but once it's closed the macro that I wish to delete it will no longer be running and thus the process won't be done seamlessly and automatically. Hopefully, I'm making myself clear. Any ideas? Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69982

When I do so manually using the normal Header and Footer dialog box in Word (2003), it works just fine.

    - How to get progress percentage in quicksort? I would like to indicate the progress of my quicksort. I understand that, per iteration, progress can be calculated by using something like this: myRange = iUpper - iLower + 1 Progress = Round((myRange * Log(myRange))/3) + (myRange/3) ...but I can't get any sensible values from it, I am sure I am missing something major, and I confess my mathematical abilities are not up to the task. Can anyone help me to understand what I should be doing? My quicksort takes a public 2 dimensional (x,y) array and sorts just on the y part. The array is called FA, and varies in size, but here is how to call my code assuming FA has 1000 records (0-999): Call QuickSortFA(0, 999) Here is my quicksort code: Public Sub QuickSortFA(Optional iLower As Integer, Optional iUpper As Integer) Dim iLowerValue As Integer Dim iUpperValue As Integer Dim vTest As String Dim iMidValue As Integer Dim vTemp As Variant If iLower < iUpper Then iMidValue = Int((iLower + iUpper) / 2) vTest = LCase(FA(1, iMidValue)) iLowerValue = iLower iUpperValue = iUpper Do Do While LCase(FA(1, iLowerValue)) < vTest iLowerValue = iLowerValue + 1 Loop Do While LCase(FA(1, iUpperValue)) > vTest iUpperValue = iUpperValue - 1 Loop If iLowerValue <= iUpperValue Then vTemp = FA(0, iUpperValue) FA(0, iUpperValue) = FA(0, iLowerValue) FA(0, iLowerValue) = vTemp vTemp = FA(1, iUpperValue) FA(1, iUpperValue) = FA(1, iLowerValue) FA(1, iLowerValue) = vTemp iLowerValue = iLowerValue + 1 iUpperValue = iUpperValue - 1 End If Loop Until iLowerValue > iUpperValue If iUpperValue <= iMidValue Then Call QuickSortFA(iLower, iUpperValue) Call QuickSortFA(iLowerValue, iUpper) Else Call QuickSortFA(iLowerValue, iUpper) Call QuickSortFA(iLower, iUpperValue) End If End If End Sub -- Stephenc Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69955

    - Macro behaves different when application is visible and when it isn't Hi I have discovered that the behavior of macros is different when Application.Visible = True and it is False. I observed some problems when running the macro. I turned the Application.Visible = True, debugged the code, corrected the errors, ran some tests without debug, but still with Application.Visible = True. As soon I changed Application.Visible = False, the resulting document, the macro generated looked different. How can I see follow thr progress in the document, as I step through statements without having Application.Visible = True? Are there some spicific behavior, that is different when Application.Visible = True and Application.Visible = False (exept that the document is/is not visible)? In my examble I want the next page to have a new set of headers. Standing at end of the document (end of page x) I use the following code: Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage ' Cut link between herder/footer on page x and page x+1 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ' Delete all contense in herder of page x+1 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader Selection.WholeStory Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument When Application.Visible = True, I have headers on page x and no headers on page x+1. When Application.Visible = False, I have No headers on page x and no headers on page x+1. It looks like there is a difference in what header/footer I am standing in after inserting a SectionBreakNextPage and then doing a ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader.

What I would like to do is make the reference to the linked Excel dynamic...a function of the .doc's name. So, when the Word file is opened it will replace all linked references to <MyFileName> & ".xls" and open and update the linked fields accordingly. Is this possible? If yes, could you give some general direction? Thanks Garth Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69894

    - document library I need to organize thousands of word documents in a online library I call document Bank. I plan to use the Word file properties to code keywords and other searcing criteria. Now, how can I retieve programmatically this data so I can prepare a simple interface for user to search the documents in this library? I am new to windows programming. chilosi-paolo@iol.it -- Paolo Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69885

    - Random selection in table Hi I've never managed to master VBA so I was wondering if sm could give me a few lines of code. I have a table with four columns. Each cell has a word/phrase in various languages. I'd like to be able to 'test' myself with a macro that selects a word/phrase in the first column (English) at random. Would anyone be kind enough to do this for me? Thanks in advance Dave Neve Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69883

    - Resizing Inline Shapes I've searched for help on this, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm pasting images as inline shapes in a Table. I want to resize all of them to the same width, say 1 inch (or the equivalent in pixels). I've tried recording a macro that does this, but am having trouble. The pasted images may vary a little in proportions, so I want to lock proportions when I do the resize. This is very easy within Word, but I'm having trouble doing it in VBA. What I'd really like is to take action on the select shape, so as soon as I paste it, I can resize it. I had a hard time getting a "selection" option to work, so I shifted to using the Inlineshapes collection. Below is the code I was trying to use. For Each ishape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes ishape.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue ishape.Width = 86.4 'Number is what was recorded Next ishape Problem is that the aspect ratio line isn't working, and my shapes are being distorted. Any suggestions? Todd Tag: PDF tool needed Tag: 69882

I know there are many tools that let you "print" a Word document to a PDF
file (for example, CutePDF). The problem is that all these tools that I have
seen require user input to specify the output file name and possibly output
options as well. THis makes it impossible to completely automate the process
from VBA code. Does anyone know of a PDF "printer" that can operate with no
user input, completely under VBA control? The only one I have found is PDF
Creator but it is $500.

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but you might want to check out PDFCreator from
http://sourceforge.net/index.php as it is open source and you can make any
changes as required to meet your specific needs. Just an idea.

Hope this helps!
