    - Make a copy of a Word VBA programme saved in the template directory Hi, I have written a complicated Word VBA programme and saved it as a template. May I ask how I can make a copy of it so that I can move the copy to another computer and use it there? Thanks. Mike Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112285

    - Spellchecking a Protected Document This seems to be a popular topic lately, so I thought I'd chime in as well. While the article at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm is great if you want to check the spelling of the information input into formfields, my problem is a bit different. I have (Word 2003) templates that produce forms-protected documents, but the documents themselves don't contain any formfields. I use forms protection only because it allows me to protect only certain sections of the document, such as the header and footer, while leaving other sections, such as the main body of the document unprotected. The spellchecker checks the spelling in the unprotected sections OK, and I don't really mind if it doesn't check the spelling in the protected sections because 1) I know that I haven't made any spelling errors in the 'boilerplate' in these sections; and 2) if the user has made a spelling error in the 'variable' information, they can just rerun the code in template to correct the errors. However, there is a deficiency in the native spellchecker that I've been asked to develop a workaround for. In an unprotected document, if none of the choices in the 'Suggestions' list are viable, you can just type in the 'Not in Dictionary' box to make the change. However, this doesn't work in a protected document; the text in the 'Not in Dictionary' box is treated like it's in a protected section. I could always write code that unprotects the document before displaying the spellchecker, but there are a couple of drawbacks: First, this will allow the users to spellcheck the protected sections as well, which is not really a major problem except that if the user corrects an error that was introduced through the input of the 'variable' information described above, this correction won't get replicated back into the data from the UserForm. Thus if the user reruns the template, the correction won't be there and the error could be reintroduced without the user realising it. However, I can live with this. The real problem is that the spellchecker dialog isn't modal to Word. Therefore, if I unprotect the document, the user now has full access to the whole document, _including_ the protected sections. And believe me, the users will take advantage of this whenever possible; I learned this when I told the users I was going to fix a bug in my code that left the document unprotected and got a... umm... less than favourable response. ;-D Does anyone know a way to enable the editing capability in the 'Not in Dictionary' box without unprotecting the document? Or will my users just have to live with this limitation? (The second choice is acceptable as I'm quite happy to tell the users 'No' - as long as I can justify the response.) -- Cheers!

    - Sharing Arrays Between Modules In an earlier post, Jean-Guy Marcil provided me with some excellent instruction on structuring projects to separate UserForm-related processes from document-related processes. (Thanks again, Jean-Guy!) I'm now trying to apply this structure to a somewhat more complex project and have run into a problem straight away. In this new project, I use arrays to collect sets of similar information (e.g. the names and addresses of multiple parties to a contract). These arrays all reside in the UserForm class module, since they are obviously integral to the processes related to the UserForm; i.e. UserForm operations are used to create and maintain the arrays, and the arrays are used to display information in the UserForm. However, I cannot find a way to take the information in these arrays and transfer it back into the 'operational' class module that is used to perform the actual document-creation processes. UserForm controls (and the values contained therein) are simple enough to access and variables can be declared as Public and then just become a 'pseudo-attribute' of the UserForm object, but arrays cannot be Public. For obvious reasons, I don't want to dynamically create a heap of Public variables to dump the contents of the arrays into and then rebuild the arrays on the 'operational' side, and doing something like grabbing the contents of the ListBoxes that are used to display and maintain the arrays on the UserForm and then attempting to parse this information scares the daylights out of me. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to share contents of an array between two modules? -- Cheers!

    - Fetching data in Excel from Word Hello, I have a Word document. I have in an Excel file with thousands of IP adresses and other similar type of information. In the word document, I have to create a chapter for each physical servers (a lot). In each chapter, a table display the IP configuration of the sever as well as virtualized servers inside it (a lot more) These information are randomy defined in the Excel file. What is the best way to do that ? I'd like to have a button in the word document which call a macro. This macro would open the Excel document and lookup the IP information based on the server name. Then, it would update tags or fields or variables that I would insert here and there in the word document. The goal here is to avoid regrouping & copying by hand thousands of IP adresses, which is prone to mistakes. Moreover, whenever the IP adresses are updated in the Excel file, I would run the macro to update the word document. Any good idea ? I know how to do a macro in Excel, but never did one in word. My main problem is how to create a "field" or a "variable" in the text (generally in -but not restricted to- a table) that my macro would recognise in the word document and update it ? Thanks in advance. JD Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112266

    - Word 2003 custom Menus change and disappear Does anyone have a fool proof method for stabilizing custom menus (on the menu bar) in Word? I have a menu in a global template that should always show, as well as document templates that each contain a menu I want to appear only when someone is in a document created from that template. The problem SEEMS to stem from OTHER people's software -- the menus will be there but then they disappear, or multiple copies appear or the menu is suddenly empty or has the name for one menu with choices for another menu on it. Note: Custom TOOLBARS seem stable, it is just the MENU that is problematic. I have been fighting this for years and have done a lot of research but so far everything I try has a hiccup at some point. The programming is all VBA in Word .dot templates. So far I have tried: - Using tools, customize to create the menus w/in the appropriate templates -- works great on my computer, but menus disappear/duplicate constantly on about 80% of my clients. - Programmatically creating the menus -- this is good for the global template menu -- at first -- but somewhere through the day it gets trashed. I can't get the template specific menus to behave. They constantly disappear. - Write an event handler to delete and then recreate all menus and display as (Tried with the "Document change" or "WIndow Activate" event for the Word application) -- this seemed to work at first but suddenly the problems returned. I did not want to just "show" the menus per the event handler because they would suddenly have the wrong buttons or be empty part way through the day. (Maybe I am not writing it right.) Has anyone else had this struggle? It happens to me so much I am surprised I can't find more postings about it. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Thanks so much. Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112256

    - Comparing Word documents I inherited some Word VBA code to format a report based on rtf output from DOORS. I made some changes to the VBA to improve performance (it used to run for more than hour) and now I would like to compare the Word document produced from the latest version with a Word document produced from the previous version of the Word VBA macros. I am running Microsoft Office Word 2003. I opened the more recent copy, and then: 1. pulled down Tools-->Compare and Merge documents... 2. checked the "Legal Blackline" checkbox 3. selected the baseline word document produced under the old macro set 4. clicked on "Compare" The only differences that showed up was that every row of the main table is black-barred with (on each page) a change box pointing at the header saying "Formatted Table". When I move my mouse over the "Formatted Table" change box it says "Author formatted Table:" Any clue what this is trying to tell me? The contents look fine otherwise. --Thank you, --Mike Jr. Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112251

    - PLEASE respond ASAP Hi there, It's a crazy problem i'm facing. I have to work on many documents and there will be a footer kind of note, same note I have to keep in each document but the page is not the same. For example, there is a word "xyz" and we dont know in the document where it comes, when it appears there should be a footnote in the first instance of the document. If it comes in the second page of one document, it comes on someother page in other document. SO I thought of recording a macro as the text is same for all. Now it is working, when I say run it appears BUT IN ALL PAGES OF THE DOCUMENT whereas I require only in the active page, that is the page where I am working and is needed. I mean, when I go to a particular page and run the macro, it should come only on that particular page and not the entire document. How can I edit the code to do that? Where and what should add inside the coding to write the text in particular page. Otherwise, everytime I have to either open or keep open the other document, copy and paste. I thought of a simple macro but it is becoming complicated. Sorry for a big explanation, I just want to make clear. Thanks in advance for your valuable time and solutions. But please respond asap.

    - background process to monitor cursor location This is a followup question from a previously answered thread: "clicking in protected forms: MS knowledge base article ID: 839950" from March 26, 2008 The problem is: In summary, the user must click or tab from one form field into another form field on a protected document or Word does not run the form field's 'on entry' and 'on exit' macros. My solution: Inside the Document_Open() subroutine, I am using the Timer and DoEvents functions in a While Loop to 'wait and watch' what the user is doing. When the cursor is 'properly' placed or 'improperly' found on one of the text form fields used for data entry, then a pointer to that field is stored. If the focus is moved 'properly' to another form field, the pointer is set to the new field. However, if/when the cursor is 'improperly' found in some other location, the validation routine is run and the pointer is reset (or set to the new data entry field). Finally, I am using the Document_Close() subroutine to set a flag that allows Word to kick out of the While Loop and exit the Document_Open() subroutine. My concern/question: Practically this appears to be working, although it makes the response sluggish (especially if focus is moved to a different Word Document). However, there is so much in this Windows world that I don't know and I am concerned that I have opened a 'pandora's box'. Does anyone see any danger in using this methodology or have any other advice? Thank you! -- James III, Sincere VBA Newbie! Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112183

Below is the Macro I have so far but it runs through all the form fields including the check boxes and I have a 40 page doc which takes almost 5 mins for the spellchecker to run. I have tried to use the macro in the 'on exit' properties but that still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ~Thanks, Roxy Sub SpellCheckForm() Dim i As Integer Dim bProtected As Boolean 'Unprotect the file If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then bProtected = True ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="colleen" End If 'check formfield for spelling For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.FormFields.Count ActiveDocument.FormFields(i).Select #If VBA6 Then Selection.NoProofing = False #End If Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS Selection.Range.CheckSpelling Next 'Reprotect the document. If bProtected = True Then ActiveDocument.Protect _ Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="colleen" End If End Sub Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112143

    - Selecting a Field I am creating a macro which inserts a Filename field into a document. I want to then resize the font of ONLY the inserted field to 7pt. Presently my macro reads as follows: Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _ "FILENAME ", PreserveFormatting:=True Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend With Selection.Font .Name = "Times New Roman" .Size = 7 .Bold = False .Italic = False .Underline = wdUnderlineNone .UnderlineColor = wdColorAutomatic .StrikeThrough = False .DoubleStrikeThrough = False .Outline = False .Emboss = False .Shadow = False .Hidden = False .SmallCaps = False .AllCaps = False .Color = wdColorAutomatic .Engrave = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .Spacing = 0 .Scaling = 100 .Position = 0 .Kerning = 0 .Animation = wdAnimationNone End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 This result was fine, as long as there was nothing else on the line ahead of the Filename field insertion, which tends to USUALLY be the case. But, because the macro indicates to return to the beginning of the line to apply the font size, it also modifies any other text on the same line ahead of the inserted field. I have tried various combinations of Shift, Ctrl and Alt along with arrow keys for selecting the field with my keyboard while recording the macro, but no luck. So I need to modify the macro somehow so that it only selects the inserted field instead of returning to the beginning of the line before it sizes the font of the inserted field.

    - Unlinking footnotes/endnotes from text Can this be done with a macro? Can this be done at all without third-party software? Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112135

    - Spellchecking template - receiving error message We are using a Word template to prepare formatted memos that are then emailed to our users. I found an article at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm, which contained the code to unlock, spellcheck, and relock the template. It works very well but only on workstations that are set up to allow the user Admin access. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the workstations in our company are set up to only grant User level access and the spellcheck function doesn't work on those, even when we lowered the macro security level to Low. The security policy cannot be changed to allow everyone Admin access. Any suggestions to work around this problem and allow the spellcheck to run? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, John Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112130

    - Doing translation with VBA Hi, My work needs me to translate some objects into Chinese at times. I come across, for example, a card, a screwdriver and a saw and their quantity may vary. Since they appear frequently and the translation is repetitive, I would like to use a VBA programme to do the simple translation. They appear as lists such as "a card, a screwdriver, a saw and a stool". Does anyone have idea of how to do it or could anyone point me to the right direction? Thank you.

    - FirstLineIndent read only in table cell I am using Microsoft Word 2003 and trying to write a macro which corrects some indenting problems in the cells of a document. I have a problem in that I do not seem to be able to set the value of FirstLineIndent, the indentation. Here is a macro I've written to try to demonstrate the problem I'm encountering: Sub DoAllIndents() Dim NowIndent As Long For Each Tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables For Each Row In Tbl.Rows For Each cellLoop In Row.Cells With cellLoop.Range MsgBox (.Text) NowIndent = .Paragraphs(1).FirstLineIndent MsgBox (NowIndent) .Paragraphs(1).FirstLineIndent = 0 MsgBox (.Paragraphs(1).FirstLineIndent) End With Next cellLoop Next Row Next Tbl End Sub The problem is that setting "FirstLineIndent" does nothing: the second MsgBox gives the same value as the first one. Apart from using Range.Paragraphs(1), I've also used .ParagraphFormat.FirstLineIndent with exactly the same results. The document itself is not read-only, but "FirstLineIndent" seems to be. I've googled for some hints but have not been able to make the above work properly. Thank you very much indeed for any help with this problem. Tag: turn off automatic date completion Tag: 112121

When I write a word in my Microsoft words 2007 editor that indicates the
beginning of date some automatic completion mechanism is triggered displaying
the full date.

Unfortunately in my native language (Swedish) there are some words that are
very common but that also could be the beginning of a date so this flashing
occurs very often.

I do not like this so I wonder how a script could look to disable this
mechanism?

I agree: the autocomplete function is infuriating when you are writing in
Swedish.

The bad news is that Microsoft doesn't agree; they apparently think the
function is so wonderful that they didn't bother to include an option to turn
it off. See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100997751033.aspx

The good news is, if you're a little computer savvy, you can turn it off
anyway. See the instructions on this web page. I just tried it, even though
I had never operated with macros before, and it worked. What a relief!
