    - Disappearing text when doing a paste Hello all, Having a problem coping data from one document to another. I need to automate the following task. I have a document that my customer opens and clicks a button that does a copy. When the button is clicked, I need the following to happen. The file open dialog box displays so they can pick the file that has data to be copied from The selected file is opened Data from an enclosed bookmark in the newly opened file is copied The data is then pasted to a bookmark location in the intial document I have this working, the problem is when I do the past into the initial document, it deletes all the text in the document and then paste the new text. What am I doing wrong?? I needed to be sure the copied data retains all formatting, like bullet list, etc. My code is listed below. thanks Sub Copy_Description() Dim DescriptionDoc As Document Dim pTarget As Range Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show Set DescriptionDoc = ActiveDocument Set pTarget = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM_TheDescription").Range.FormattedText pTarget.Copy If ThisDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("BM_Description") Then ThisDocument.Bookmarks("BM_Description").Select ThisDocument.Range.Paste End If ActiveDocument.Close End Sub Tag: underline in red Tag: 63627

    - Adding TextBox Shapes becomes slow I need to add about 200 TextBox Shapes to a document through Visual Basic using Word 9.0 Library The Code i use is: Set textBox22 = wordDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) Then i add formatting: With textBox22 .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "sdfgsf" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With This all works like a charm... except it works SLOOOOOOOW The first 30 or so controls are added at a reasonable speed (i have a counter and a progressbar to monitor the process) After that it starts to slow down more and more.... On textbox 150 it adds about one textbox per second... Very Slow!!!!! I tried following: Turned off spelling and grammar checking, Word app is not visible while textboxes are added, I even used LockWindowUpdate TOGETHER with ScreenUpdating = False. Didn't help. Still slow.... Here's the code for you to try. Visual Basic 6.0. Add a reference to the Word library before running the code. Add a progressbar to Form1 and name it PB1. The code adds 300 textboxes to a word document and sets margins and font format options. if you comment the formatting (all With..End With) the code runs faster. P.S. I HAVE tried it on different computers, and no they were not 486, but decent p4 machines. And it must be done from outside, thus i can't use the code from within a word macro. [CODE] Dim wA As Word.Application Dim wD As Word.Document Private Sub Command1_Click() PB1.Min = 1 'PROGRESSBAR PB1.Max = 300 Dim ttt As Word.Shape, y As Long y = 10 wA.ScreenUpdating = False For i = 1 To 300 PB1.Value = i y = y + 18 Set tB = wD.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, y, 100, 15) With tB .Name = "TextBox" & i With .TextFrame .MarginTop = 0 .MarginLeft = 0 .TextRange = "Sample Text" With .TextRange .Bold = True .Font.Name = "Verdana" .Font.Size = 12 End With End With End With Next wA.ScreenUpdating = True wA.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Set wA = New Word.Application wA.Options.CheckGrammarAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = False wA.Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False wA.Options.CheckHangulEndings = False 'wA.Options.Pagination = False Set wD = wA.Documents.Add wD.Activate wD.ShowSpellingErrors = False wD.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False End Sub Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer) On Error Resume Next wA.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub Tag: underline in red Tag: 63623

    - How do I take data from excel spreadsheet and move into word docum I am taking a clients listing and moving it into a word document that is already set up. Depending on certain values in certain columns it populates certain areas of the word document. Also if the client listing has the same person with 2 different values I am supposed to just list the 2 different values and not create 2 different word documents.

I have a "timer" macro that executes a DoEvents in a loop and I do not have an Application.ScreenUpdate statement in the code. I need the time to update and display form data and document progress.

I've called Microsoft Support with no help as to when Word will incorporate this back into Word (it works in Word 2000 & Word 2002). They told me to use Cross References which will not allow you to change the tile of the hyperlink or style of the hyperlink (go figure?). I guess I could go through all 1500 Headings and Bookmark them all so I can hyperlink to them (ya right!) I can't understand how something so crucial was overlooked in Word 2003?

    - Saving Word doc as XML from VBScript I am new to VBScript, and automating Word, so I'm probably doing something dumb. I have a series of Word documents that I need to save in XML format. There are hundreds, so I need to do it automatically. I have the following VBScript (clearly doesn't handle the hundreds issue, but it won't work on one file yet): '========================== ' Script starts dim inFile dim outfile ' Define intput and output file paths inFile = "D:\My Documents\TestData\Test.doc" outfile = "D:\My Documents\TestData\Test.xml" ' Start Microsoft Word... dim w set w = createobject("word.application") ' Visibility will ultimately be false w.visible = true ' Open a document as read only dim d set d = w.documents.open (inFile, False, True) ' Save it as XML d.SaveAs outfile, wdFormatXML w.Quit ' Script ends '=================== The output file gets saved to the correct name, but not in XML format. What I end up with is a Word document with an .xml extension. If I rename the file to have a .doc extension it opens in word. When I do the same thing manually by opening the file then selecting File | SaveAs and selecting the XML Document type option, it works as expected and I get an actual XML output file. What am I doing wrong, here? Many thanks in advance. Tag: underline in red Tag: 63541

If I delete the lines and redo the sort it is fine. If I then Undo the changes and redo the sort, it works fine. If I then close the file without saving changes, and then reopen it, the sort continues to work fine. The only way to get the problem back is to close Word entirely and start again.

    - Mail Merge not running properly from Access Function but runs properly when opened manually Here's the deal: All of this is using the Office 2000 Suite. We've got an Access db in which we've got a button setup to open a particular document in Word and populate the Word document with information from a query contained in the db. Once the document opens, the access query runs and populates the document via Mail Merge. The problem lies in that when you use the button to open the document, the results of the query aren't "refreshed" into the document. (It pulls old data - one record set in particular over and over and over again). If you go and look at where it's pulling the information from in Access, the record set that the document is referring to isn't listed. We have a query setup to pull the desired information and the Word document just looks at the qry when it opens. If you look at the qry results before opening the document via the button, it contains the current information. If, however, you go and manually open the document, you get an alert that the query needs to run for proper use of the document. After allowing the document to run the query, the document is then properly populated with the correct information. I've gone around and around. From what I can tell, the problem lies in the word document as we're simply calling a function to open the document with the desired filename. The qry is pulling the correct info before and after opening the document - its just that the document isn't populating itself w/ the query results when its opened via the code in access.

    - Creating a "Table of Footnotes" Hi I have a large document with a hundred or so footnotes in, set to appear at the bottom of each page. I also want these footnotes to appear in a chapter near the end of the document. So, I did Insert > Reference > Index & Tables, Table of Figures Tab, Options, select Style "Footnote Text", but get the error "Error! No table of figures entries found". A post to microsoft.public.word.tables (news:c97617a9.0502170341.29d8f215@posting.google.com) reveals that this is not possible as "Word cannot "see" text in footnotes for the purpose of TOC/TOF creation", and suggests I ask here for some help with a Macro solution. So, is there an easy way on a one-off basis (I don't need it to automatically update or anything) to grab all footnote text and paste it at a specific (ie current cursor) location? Thanks in advance.

    - Reverse macro below I have this macro that displays the style name for all paragraphs in a document. I use this to easily check to make sure certain styles are used. Is there a way to reverse this and have the style name removed? Thanks Sub TagParas() Dim p As Paragraph Dim sText As String Dim sStyle As String For Each p In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs sStyle = p.Style p.Range.InsertBefore "@" + sStyle + " = " Next p End Sub Tag: underline in red Tag: 63498

    - file Save and Save As question I have a macro set to auto fill in the file name when a user clicks save or save/as. Right now multiple open and save/saveas of the documents will always use my prefilled info I have defined in the macro. If a user overrides my default and saves the document. The next time they open the doucment and click on save or save-as, how do I code to use what they named it rather than my default. Im probably not making myself clear, so here is an example; My code for save is Sub FileSave() With Dialogs(wddialogfilesaveas) .Name = "TP" & ActiveDocument.FormFields("rfacurrent").Result .Show End With End Sub User sees the auto fill in of TP123456.doc as the file name. They change it to be saved as TP123456automaticcomm.doc. It saves the document as TP123456automaticcomm.doc. BUT the next time they open the document to make changes, and save it, it changes back to TP23456.doc, and they ahve to retype the tp123456automaticcomm.docr . How can I tell it to save as TP123456automaticcommdoc the second + times they save the document? Thanks, Linda Tag: underline in red Tag: 63494

    - User's path to word templates Hi, a user has changed the path to the MS Word templates. I can see this in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/9.0/Common/General. But on my PC I have the Office package; others may have a stand-alone version of Word. Concerning the path to the user's templates folder: are there any differences between the stand-alone version of Word and the Office package? Are there any differences among Word 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0? TIA Peter Tag: underline in red Tag: 63493

    - Which version is installed? Hi, how do I find out which version of word is installed? In the registry on my PC I see at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office thre versions: 10.0, 9.0, 8.0. They have different subfolders, and the version with the highest number of subfolders is the installed one. But I'm in doubt if this is a secureway of determining the installed version.

Selection.Font.UnderlineColor = wdColorRed
Selection.Font.UnderLine = wdUnderlineWavy

Just select something and run the above. Change the color to green to
simulate a grammar error.
