    - Word as E-mail editor using Macros I have written macros to send active word documents and active e-mails to a folder for archive purposes. I am having a problem when Word is the e-mail editor. Outlook uses the Word macros (both have different descriptions and coding). I had thought about taking the information off the "Word" e-mail, pening outlook with Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") and transferring the information to the Outlook e-mail, but I cannot figure out how to code pulling the data off of the "Word" e-mail. If anyone has any possible suggestions please let me know...Thank Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42583

    - Lanquaqe Settings I have received a document from a client that has to be processed down to HTML. The problem is with a bug in Microsoft's HTML filter which mistakeningly removes all spaces surrounded by the <span style='mso-fareast-font- family:"Arial Unicode MS"'> </span>. Is there a means to reset this in the document itself through VBA so that this tag is not output in the HTML? Thanks Mark Baird Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42581

    - inserting HTML in word Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to write some string "as HTML" In word using vbscript. For instance, if you copy some formatted html from IE and then do a past in word, it shows up as Formatted HTML with the tags rendered properly. I want to manually build an HTML string and render it to the document so that it displays as rendered HTML and not the "<tag> text <tag>" raw HTML. I am stuck on this for quite some time. I am building the word document programmatically on the client using vbscript and cannot seem to get this last bit working. I've scoured VBA articles(I've mostly ported VBA examples to vbscript for the project so far). Any help GREATLY appreciated!

    - Word 2000: TypeParagraph causes Font to Change Does anyone know how I can issue a .TypeParagraph on my selection object without having the font change to my Default Font? I have a template where I am inserting text into the document. In my Template, the entire document has been formatted to use Arial font. However, my Default Font is "Times New Roman" for my Microsoft Word (Select Format/Font from the main menu). My sample code is below: With Selection ' Enter some dummy text - the font is Arial at this point .TypeText Text:="This font is Arial" ' Now issue a new paragraph - just like pressing the ENTER key .TypeParagraph ' Now my Font is my default font - Times New Roman .TypeText Text:="Now my font is Times New Roman, NOT Arial" End With Why is my font changing? If I go into blank document and start typing my sample text with Arial font, and press the ENTER key, my font does not change, why is it changing here when I issue the .TypeParagraph? According to the following MSDN article on the TypeParagraph, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/office97/html/output/F1/D4/S5ADCE.asp, "This method corresponds to the functionality of the ENTER key". Has something changed from Office97 to Office 2000? Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42578

    - FileSearch macro returning incorrect docs? I have a macro in an Excel workbook that takes the values in certain cells to create a search string. The macro then searches all the Word docs in a single folder for docs containing that string. Normally it works well - normally, though, I use only single words. Today, however, I used phrases, and the search returned two documents that didn't fit what I thought my criteria were! I stepped through this and moused over my variables, and they all looked correct. In cell E9, I had "Blackbox Code: 1.9" - this is the one that caused the false returns. One document had "Blackbox Code: 1.7.9.2", which I guess is close; the other had "Blackbox Code: 1.3.5" - it did not contain "1.9" anywhere! One of the other cell values was "XM/SC Class: ABD", and it gave me no problems. Additional note: the three variables were put in the search string with ANDs. If anyone can make suggestions on improving this code to keep this from happening again, I would be most grateful. Ed Sub z() Dim lngIndex As Long Dim strSearchFor As String Dim strLocation As String Dim rngFiles As Range Dim strName As String Dim ListEnd As String strLocation = ThisWorkbook.Path If Range("B15") <> "" Then ListEnd = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row Range("B15:B" & ListEnd).ClearContents End If strLocation = ThisWorkbook.Path If Range("E5") <> "" Then strSearchFor = Range("E5").Text If Range("E7") <> "" Then If Range("D6") = "And" Then strSearchFor = strSearchFor & " and " & Range("E7").Text Else strSearchFor = strSearchFor & " or " & Range("E7").Text End If If Range("E9") <> "" Then If Range("D8") = "And" Then strSearchFor = strSearchFor & " and " & Range("E9").Text Else strSearchFor = strSearchFor & " or " & Range("E9").Text End If End If End If End If If strSearchFor = "" Then MsgBox "Nothing to search for", vbExclamation Exit Sub End If strName = Range("E3").Text With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = strLocation .SearchSubFolders = False .TextOrProperty = strSearchFor .MatchTextExactly = True .Filename = "L5-" & strName & "*.doc" .Execute Set rngFiles = Range("B15") rngFiles.Offset(0, 0) = "Found " & .FoundFiles.Count & " containing " & .TextOrProperty For lngIndex = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=rngFiles.Offset(lngIndex, 0), Address:=.FoundFiles.Item(lngIndex) Next End With End Sub Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42577

    - Information From Excel97 into Word97 I recieve several Excel spreadsheets on a daily basis containing technical information, this information is then extracted from the spreadsheet and placed into a Word document. A seperate Word document gets created for each spreadsheet which is exactly what I want and the data that gets extracted from Excel always comes from the same cells. I can use copy and paste special etc. in order to insert the information into the Word template however I have to do this each time. 1. As I am using a word template and the data in the spreadsheet will always be in the same cells is it possible to just update all of the 'paste special' links in one go, in order to point it at a different spreadsheet ? 2. When I use the 'paste special' function to paste text into word from merged cells (Formatted Text RTF and paste it as a link this is required), a tab gets inserted after the text for each of the merged cells. Is there any way around this ? Thanks Tappie Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42575

    - Difference between running and stepping makro Hi I have written a macro for Word that fills text from textfiles into specific places in my word-document. My problem is, that if I step through the code in the debugger, then everything works just fine, but if I run the macro then it fails. My document looks like this: 2.1 Headline 2.1.1 Subheadline 2.1.2 Subheadline 2 2.2 Headline 2 2.3 Headline 3 2.4 Headline 4 My problem is that it is only in 2.4 it doesn't work. The output is supposed to be like this: 2.4 Headline 4 text, more text and a lot of more text But the output is actually something like 2.4 2.5 text, more tet and a lot of more text 2.6 Headline 4 But only when running the macro and not when I step through it.

Im trying to automate Word from Access and it works Ok, except for this line: wdApp.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight Apparently Access VBA will not recognize wdAlignParagraphRight as a word constant, and think of it as a Variable.

    - Getting spell check to ignore non-breaking double hyphens Here's an interesting puzzle for experts. In my Word 97 documents that use Courier (the font in which I do most of my drafts), instead of double hyphens I use a non-breaking hyphen followed by a regular hyphen, that is, in VBA language, Chr(30) followed by Chr(45). This keeps the two hyphens together and keeps them both togehter with the word that precedes them, so that they don't divide across the end of a line. I have a macro that inserts this non-breaking double hyphen and use it all the time. Unfortunately, spell check stops at each non-breaking double hyphen. (I get around this with a macro that converts the font to Arial and the double hyphens to M dashes; then another macro that the document to its original format when I'm done.) But I just noticed today that spell check does NOT stop at regular double hyphens. My question is, is there any way that I can get spell check to ignore my special non-breaking double hyphens? I tried selecting a non-breaking double hyphen and applying "no proofing" to it, but that didn't do the trick. Thanks Larry Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42502

If that is too hard I can just add a msgbox with the next file name and have the user save the file manually.

    - Deleting table based on contents of a bookmark I appreciate the help received from Doug and Jean-Guy in response to my November 11 post concerning deleting tables based on the contents of a particular bookmark in a forty- page Word 2000 form used to collect information from faculty about their activities. The code works perfectly, and is included at the end of this post for reference. Four questions about our project have come up that I am unable to answer, no doubt because this is my first vba project. I have looked through the MVPS Word FAQs, and the subject lines in the vba.beginners and vba.general lists, but haven't found solutions yet, though I may have overlooked a posting that would be helpful. 1. How do I include my vba code as part of a Word 2000 form emailed as an attachment? I tried to email a test version of the form to a colleague and myself so we could test it, but found that no vba code was included along with the attachment when I opened the form and then the VB Editor (from Tools->Macro->VB Editor). I believe I correctly saved the code along with the document (not in Normal) before sending the email with attachment, but there was no sign of any vba code. I emailed myself the code separately, and pasted it into the code window of the VB Editor, and then it works fine. But this is too complicated for the faculty to do. I've read 'Distributing macros to other users' and 'What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out?' but neither really addresses how one sends a Word form as an attachment when the form includes vba. The fact that I haven't found any FAQ references to what must be a common activity, leads me to conclude that I'm missing something really obvious! 2. How do I make a macro button run the vba code associated with my form? The code works fine when I run it from within the VB Editor using the 'Step Into' button where I can observe its operation, and also runs fine from the 'Run' button, but only when the cursor is at the first line of the Sub() in the code window. I'm not clear about how to attach my macro button to the code it is supposed to activate: when I click on the macro button, the cursor simply moves into the first field in my form, if I double click, the cursor moves into the second field in the form, but in either case does not run the Sub code as I would have expected. I do of course have the name of the vba routine in the macrobutton. The macro button is located at the end of section 3 (please see following question). 3. How do I run the 'delete empty tables' code on only sections 2 and 3 of the three-part form? The form is in three sections, with a section break following each of the first two sections with each new section starting on the next page (Insert->Break- >PageBreak->Next Page). We want to run the 'delete empty table' code only on sections two and three, and include the related numeric total (from Cell 1,1 of any remaining tables) at the end of section two or three, rather than the one GrandTotal that is generated now. 4. In the tables that remain after running the 'delete empty tables' code, how do I delete rows that haven't been used and therefore have no text in their text bookmarks, along with completely empty 'spacer rows' (for readability) located between rows containing text? After looking at the results from running the code as it is now, it occurred to us that a cleaner document would result, if within a table that _contains_ text in its first text bookmark (which is always row 3, column 2), it would be possible to delete any rows that follow but that may not contain any text. These rows may be completely empty 'spacer rows' inserted for readability between rows with text bookmarks, or simply another row like row 3 that contains a text bookmark but no text in the bookmark. Tables may contain between 2 and 16 rows having text bookmarks. I think the code to do this would need to: a. Look for the last row in a table that has text in column 2 (not just the existence of a text field, but a text field with a Len of > 5 which seems to be the default length of my text bookmarks for reasons I don't understand at this point) b. Delete rows (if any) in the table that follow this last row. Thank you very much for any assistance you are able to provide with these four questions. Peter The current version of the code provided by Doug with additions by Jean-Guy follows: Sub FSR() Dim myrange As Range, i As Integer, GTotal As Long ActiveDocument.Fields.Update ActiveDocument.Unprotect For i = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count To 1 Step -1 Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Cell(3, 2).Range myrange.End = myrange.End - 1 ' Check row 3 column 2 to see if empty-default empty length is 5 If Len(myrange) = 5 Then Set myrange = myrange.Tables(1).Range myrange.SetRange Start:=myrange.Start, _ End:=myrange.End + 1 myrange.Delete End If Next i ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset ScholTotal = 0 For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables.Count ScholTotal = ScholTotal + ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Cell (1, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Result Next i ActiveDocument.FormFields("ScholTotal").Result = ScholTotal End Sub Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42456

    - Writing HTML in word VBA Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to write some string "as HTML" In word using vbscript. For instance, if you copy some formatted html from IE and then do a past in word, it shows up as Formatted HTML with the tags rendered properly. I want to manually build an HTML string and render it to the document so that it displays as rendered HTML and not the "<tag> text <tag>" raw HTML. I am stuck on this for quite some time. I am building the word document programmatically on the client using vbscript and cannot seem to get this last bit working. I've scoured VBA articles(I've mostly ported VBA examples to vbscript for the project so far). Any help GREATLY appreciated!

    - How can I return user's options to their original values? Is there anyway I can save the user's AutoCorrect and Options settings so that they can be reinstated when the user leaves the template? I have a template in which I need to disable all of the "Apply as you type" settings on the "Autoformat As You Type" tab. I want to do a similar thing with certain settings on the Options tabs. I am changing the settings in the AutoNew macro associated with the template. However, I want to return the user's original settings when the user closes the document associated with my template.

    - Automatically display UserForm when Word Document Opens I have a UserForm which has pulls information from a Word document that contains nothing but two tables of information. The UserForm works great, and exits gracefully, but will not automatically display when the end user opens the word document it is built upon. I don't want the tables to be visible to the user, just the form. Code follows: Private Sub ThisDocument_Document_Open() Load UserForm1 UserForm1.Show vbModeless End Sub Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Dim Msg, Style 'set dim for message box when Exit is pressed Msg = "Please wait while program shuts down" ' define message Style = vbYesOk + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2 ' define message response buttons Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style) ' Display message If True Then Unload UserForm1 Application.DisplayAlerts = False Word.Application.Quit End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim MyArray() As String RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count ColCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count ReDim MyArray(RowCount - 1, ColCount - 1) For i = 1 To RowCount For j = 1 To ColCount 'Select each cell in the table Celldata = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(i, j) 'Remove the paragraph and end-of-cell markers 'as we lod the array MyArray(i - 1, j - 1) = Left(Celldata, Len (Celldata) - 2) Next Next ListBox1.ColumnCount = ColCount ListBox1.List() = MyArray Dim MyArrayExternal() As String RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Rows.Count RowCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Rows.Count ColCount = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Columns.Count ReDim MyArrayExternal(RowCount - 1, ColCount - 1) For m = 1 To RowCount For n = 1 To ColCount 'Select each cell in the table Celldata = ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Cell(m, n) 'Remove the paragraph and end-of-cell markers 'as we load the array MyArrayExternal(m - 1, n - 1) = Left(Celldata, Len(Celldata) - 2) Next Next ListBox2.ColumnCount = ColCount ListBox2.List() = MyArrayExternal End Sub Private Sub ListBox1_Click() For x = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount If ListBox1.Selected(x) = True Then MsgBox ListBox1.List(x) & ListSeparator & " " & " Office Symbol: " & ListSeparator & " " & ListBox1.List(x, 1) & " Project: " & ListBox1.List(x, 2) End If Next x End Sub Private Sub ListBox2_Click() For x = 0 To ListBox2.ListCount If ListBox2.Selected(x) = True Then MsgBox ListBox2.List(x) & ListSeparator & " " & " Office Symbol: " & ListSeparator & " " & ListBox2.List(x, 1) & " Project: " & ListBox2.List(x, 2) End If Next x End Sub Obviously code is rough and not fully documented yet, but will be at end product.

    - Problems with this VBA code - please help The code below opens a new Word doc based on a template. It generally works fine but for some PC's delivered by Dell where they pre-installed Office XP Professional (Word 2002) the Find code doesn't work. Anyone any ideas why the Find would not work - the Find works on my test PCs - including a test PC running Windows XP and Office XP Professional. But not on these Dell delivered PC's.

    - Macro for Paragraph Hi All! Is there a way that I can have a macro look for a certain word in a report, but only when it is at the start of a line and not in the middle of a name. For example: I need to delete the word "MED" out of a report. It is on multiple lines, and the number of lines varies per report. The word "MED" can also be found in certain words like MEDical, interMEDiate, or arMED. How do I get the macro to only go to the start of the line (paragraph), grab the information I need to delete, and then move to the start of the next line (not grabing other words)? I have posted what I have below. Thanks in advance and have a great weekend. Julie Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "MED" .Replacement.Text = _ " " .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Do Selection.Find.Execute If Selection.Find.Found = True Then Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=18, Extend:=wdExtend Selection.TypeBackspace Else Exit Do End If Loop Tag: NOT updating date fields automatically at open Tag: 42429

I've got an app that opens and prints to image large
numbers of Word docs. Does anyone know of a way to keep
the date fields from updating when I open/print the
document? I want to preserve the original date in the
document.

Thanks much-

Change the fields to "CreateDate" which will be the date on which they were
created (not necessarily the date sent). This will give you the original
date for most of them. Look in the MVP FAQ site for an article on batch
processing to see how to apply a macro to all files in a directory.
