Inset MS Project into a Word template
I am trying to create a word template using MS Word 2003. One section of
the template will be formatted as Bullets and subheadings. How can I apply
this formatting to a form field in a template. Obliviously I don't know how
many bullets a person using this form will need, so need to leave room for
it to expand, at the same time keeping the formatting standardized.

How to set up the new German spellchecker?
I downloaded and successfully installed Service Pack 3 for Word 2002, the
only Office XP program I am running. All other Office applications are
version 2000. Trying to install the new spellchecker hotifix
officexp-kb923347deu.exe fails due to a missing .msi image file. When I
extract the exe file all I get are 3 msp files and 3 read-mes.
How can I install this spellchecker hotfix? The "Check for updates" utility
did not even bring this patch up.

Add Bookmark text to a header or footer
Is there a way to add a bookmarked text section from the main document to
header or footers? So that if the Text in the body of the document changes,
this is auto populated into the header or footer?
Would this be better done in VBA or is there a straightforward way of doing
it without adding code to the template?

Making a macro loop
I often need to copy an itemized bill from the Web in order to sort it. I
copy and paste it into Word and it comes in as one huge paragraph. I want to
format it into paragraphs, then convert it to a table using the spaces
between each column to separate into cells. I've written the following macro
to format break each line of data into a separate line (paragraph), but I
need to make it loop. Can anyone tell me where and what code to insert to
make it loop until it reaches the end of my unformatted text (when there is
not another / or : to be found)? Here's what works manually, without a loop:
Sub Phonebill ()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting

.Text = "/"
.Replacement.Text = "^p"
.Forward = True

.Format = True
.MatchCase = False

Dropdown list question
I need help trying to figure out how to do something in Word 2002. I have a
form that I am trying to automate. I have a dropdown list with selections
for all of my local courthouses and one selection is for out-of-county
courthouses.
What I want to happen is if the form user selects one of the local
courthouses, that selection will display but if the form user selects
"out-of-county courthouse" I want the dropdown list to disappear or become
hidden and activate 2 or 3 text fields where the form user would type in the
out-of-county court information.
I also want the results of this to duplicate in one other location on
another page of this document. It is a 3-page form. Tag: unable to save in word perfect(can not oen file).What is wrong? Tag: 90466

How do I add query field values to text in VBA?
Im a novice at this but here is what Im trying to accomplish. My
office has hundreds of memos going out on a regular basis. All of
these memos go to a set group of people from a set group of people.
Those people change based on the sender and recipient. The body of the
memos is based on a set number of subjects. I have most of this
automated now but the problem is that in VBA using the Select Case
Method I have told access what to show for the body based on the
subject but the body contains information that needs to be a field from
a query. How do I reference that field? For example a memo to a car
dealer about new cars would have a set body, part of which is the
contact information from the person sending it. So the body would be
something like this:
Dear Mr. [Owner of Dealer]
My office is interested in purchasing 3 new vehicles from your
dealership. When you have time to discuss specifics please contact
Purchasing Officer [PO] at [Phone Number].
Sincerely,
[PO]
Keep in mind that the body of this memo needs to be calculated as well
based on the subject the user selects. I hope this makes sense. My
job has nothing to do with cars but I cant comment on what I do so the
example probably confuses things. Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide!

Can date format be changed
I have a number of paragraphs which start with the date in the format
05.09.2006

Please can you write a macro to find dates in dd.mm.yyyy format

Having seen how to do that, I take it that it would be straight forward to

Using Bookmarks to store User Form data, how to hide?
Hi there,
I'm automating our company's standard documents. The idea is to
collect info about the document and author, and automatically fill this
in at spots in the header and footer. This is to standardize how it's
input so users don't have to worry about getting the right format.
Previously, I used a stack of ASK fields to collect the info into
Bookmarks, then put cross references in the header and footer. I put
the ASK fields on the front title page, which doesn't get used much and
so were out of the way of stray keystrokes. This worked well since the
ASK fields were "invisible" unless you toggled field codes. But all
those dialog boxes in a row were a bit tedious.
So now I've created a User Form that collects all the info in one spot
and inserts the data into Bookmarks.
I inserted the Bookmarks on the title page like I had the ASK fields,
but now I realize that the full text of the Bookmarks is showing up on
my page!
My question is: How can I make these Bookmarks invisible like the ASK
fields?
I have already moved the obvious Bookmarks off the title page and into
the header and footer (Doc No., Doc Title, etc), but some of the
Bookmarks I will only use as cross references later in the body of the
document (which doesn't exist yet) such as Customer Name.
I've tried highlighting the Bookmarks on the title page and selecting
Font > Hidden, but when I insert a cross reference, the formatting
comes along and the reference is also hidden!
Is there any kind of switch or place I can stash Bookmarks that will
make them invisible to the user, yet be easy to cross reference to?

Paste text to currently open document
Hi all,
I have such a problem: I wrote sub to copy text form one doc to
currently open document. I attached this sub to button I would like it
to insert text form another doc in the selection in document which I
edit. But instead of inserting text to currently open doc it copies
text to the file from which this sub takes text:
Dim OpisKryterium As New Document
Set OpisKryterium =
Application.Documents.Open(SciezkaKryterium(NrKryt))
Dim TekstOpisu As Range
Dim DlugoscTekstu As Long
DlugoscTekstu = OpisKryterium.Characters.Count
Set TekstOpisu = OpisKryterium.Range(0, DlugoscTekstu - 1)
Selection.FormattedText = TekstOpisu.FormattedText
OpisKryterium.Close
Set OpisKryterium = Nothing
Set TekstOpisu = Nothing
I think that it is because of this line:
Selection.FormattedText = TekstOpisu.FormattedText
but I tried to do it with ActiveDocument but result is the same. So how
can I reference to currently open doc.
Please help.

Calcuate on Exit Bug?
Maybe I don't really understand what checking calculate on exit does for a
form field but I've never seen this before. I've got a form with about a
dozen fields, some of them are calculations but...
well what they are doing is MULTIPLE calcuations as you tab through the
fields. They don't calculate just once...they REPEATEDLY calculate the
formulas everytime you tab out of a field in the document. so 200 becomes 400
becomes 800 becomes 1600, etc.

so If I have one field in a document that is supposed to display how much
the average person makes in a year based on an hourly rate. The field would
need to accept the user's input (the hourly rate) and automatically multiply
that number by 2080 and the change what they inputted to show the result.

binding???

Creating a second word instance to run my project (Word 2000)
Hello
I have one last obstacle to overcome with my project. At this stage it is
working more or less as i want it, application is hidden with only a userform
in view, and my labels are printing out fine, time after time of button
clicking, documents are opening and closing correctly etc etc.
My (final???) problem now is that when I close the applicatiion the way I
need to, ie Application.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges - so that its ready to be
used again another time, it also closes with it any documents that are laying
open at the bottom of the screen - this could well cause much anguish amongst
the users who (hopefully) will be using it in our office, and I'm sure to
become little miss unpopular!!
I think one option, if it can be done, would be to fire up the document in a
new instance of word, separate from the one that is already open with
documents at the bottom of the screen. Is this possible, and if so can
someone point me in the right direction of where to place the required code.
I have seen some code in a book that will open an instance of word from
another program - do I do this in the same way? And where should the start
up code be placed?

Macros to delete track changes and comments
Is there a macro code that I could use to remove all track changes and
comments (not just hide them) before saving and sending a document? I've
tried the Reject and Accept Changes, but sometimes if I click Reject all
changes, it takes away changes that weren't tracked to begin with. And I
always have to go to View > Markup, making sure that markup is checked, in
order to reject and accept. Sometimes I'll have to delete comments
separately, sometimes I just click Accept all changes and it gets rid of
them. Is there one process that will work the same for everyone? (everyone
here is upgrading to 2003 and we have to republish some old docs)
This is confusing to instruct others about, since docs were saved in
different ways with different kinds of markups. I don't want to use the
Remove Hidden Data tool because it messes up templates and other settings.
