    - Stepping thru protected table cells I have a table which contains rows with different formats (some with merged cells, some with split cells). It contains cells with form fields and cells with plain text. It is protected. There are some rows which, in cell 3, have a checkbox. If the checkbox value in cell 3 = true, I want to copy cells 2, 4 and 5 of this row to a new table at the end of the document or into a new table in a new separate document. Cells 2 and 4 are plain text in; cell 5 is a form field. I don't know how to do a copy statement for a range with some plain text cells and a form field cell. Also, this is pretty repetitive, so I was looking for something that would just step through the table without having to specifically refer to formfield Bookmark name, e.g. using a counter index to do the following: i = count(rows in table) use i to loop through the rows: row(i) : if cell 3 contains a checkbox with value = Yes, copy contents of cells 2, 4 and 5 to next line in new table* (*create the table when you run into the first instance of cell 3 checkbox=true) Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103363

    - Use Macro on Document Open to Fill In data I am setting up a sheet with client data on it. For reasons I'm not going into now, the prime users of this sheet are not familiar with and will not us the address book. This means that most of the repetitive data has to be typed in, prefferable without forgetting any. I would like to use a macro and fields that querry for each item. I have that part working, but don't know how to make the macro execute when the document opens, without the user have to do anything. I would like for the users to click open and select the template and then be querried for everything. Can this be done? Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103340

    - Word 2007 Macros Disabled I created a number of macros in a word macro enabled template as well as auto footers. Without seemingly doing anything, my macros no longer work even though I went into the Trust Center and anutomatically enabled all macros. The macros, when run, insert the appropriate merge or insert codes, but not the actual footers or bookmarks. There doesn't seem to be anyway around this that I have discovered so far. Before I reload Office Suite 2003, does anyone know of anything else that might work to run the macros? Always appreciate the awesome feedback of these discussion groups.

    - Drop Down getting values from Excel Ok, so I always get these questions from my co-workers on Friday afternoon... We want to establish a spreadsheet (let's call it schools.xls) that has school names (and maybe 3 or 4 other fields). The users would populate the spreadsheet, then go to a Word doc that has a drop down box that feeds off of the values in the spreadsheet. We know that standard drop down boxes only allow 25 entries, so I've made a VB form that has a drop down box. I need to know how I can get code that links to the spreadsheet, grabs the values in column A and enters those as selections for the drop down box. Any ideas?

    - Restarting the numbering with vba Hello! Is there a possibility to restart the numbering with VBA? I need to do that because when I insert as a link (always through vba code) a file that might contain a series of numbering paragraphs, this numbering continues in the next instance of the file. Is there a way to restart it for all the numbering series from 1 for each instance of the file? manually I would right-click on the begining of each series and restart it. if there was a collection for the ListFormat, that would be more helpful...

    - Transition from Word 2000 to 2003 and template/mail merge issues I have several templates that pull merge data from an excel spreadsheet, all of which work just fine in Word 2000. However, when trying to open them in Word 2003 the following happens: 1. If Local Open, the database (.xls sheet) is no longer associated with the template. 2. After that doesn't work, if we try opening the template from Recent Files, the database is associated with the template. 3. The merge works on some but not all records, even though the merge is based on the first column in the database. I'm so confused, and I don't even know the right questions to ask you.

    - Have question Can anyone help me find out what is wrong with my Word 2000? This just started last week. The only thing I can think of that I changed is that my virus protection ran out and I got rid of it since it wouldn't work any more and downloaded a new one. I then began having much trouble with my Office 2000 Professional. I finally got that resolved and now everything is working in Office 2000 Professional except Word. If I try to open any of the old documents that never left off the computer, I get this "c:\Documents and settings\ (my name)\Desktop\w2k5p4_EN.EXE.part" and the program will not open the documents. I thought I would try to open a new one and start from scratch, but I cannot open Word. I have tried everything else in Office 2000 and they everyone seem to work fine, but Word will not even open.

    - Table Question I found out that if you protect a section of a document Shapes and Drawings do not work unless you unprotect the document first. The only reason I was looking at protecting section(s) was to force users to use a form that when saved would populate the tables in the document correctly. Without protecting the section(s), is there a way that if a user clicks in a table to update it will take them to my form instead to be used to edit or update the tables?

    - VBA Macro Issues after 2000 to 2003 upgrade A few years ago I wrote templates for Microsoft Word and Excel containing vba code. The macros are used to search through designated word files, suck out particular bits of information, export that info to excel, and create cross-reference tables in Excel with that info. We use these templates a lot in my group. A few weeks ago I got a new laptop with Windows XP (instead of 2000) and Office 2003 (instead of 2000). I just tried using these macros for the first time since the upgrade, and I'm running into a lot of problems: 1) The Word macro that exports data to Excel runs EXTREMELY slowly -- it takes 5 minutes where it used to take 30 seconds. And that's if I save the file locally; over the network, I give up before I see anything happening. 2) Some of the indentation formatting is not correct after the Word macro is run. 3) Workbooks made from the Excel template have code to create a menu with buttons to run the macros. These menus never appear. 4) If I run the macros in Excel, I get an error at the following line, probably because the menu isn't there: If CommandBars(sortReqToolBarName).Visible = True Then Any advice is appreciated. I'm not even sure if this is the correct forum, so advice on where to go for help is also appreciated. I also posted in the Excel programming forum.

    - Document containing many ActiveX controls prints out blank Hi all, I have a 9 page Word document that contains a large number of ActiveX controls from the form toolbar, i.e. textboxes, radio buttons and a couple of command buttons. I've used this because my customer's clients need to be guided through filling in a whole pile of data and I have used VBA to hide and unhide the controls depending on how the client starts filling in the document. It all works nicely in versions 97 through to 2007 so I was quite chuffed. However, when they (using Word 2003) or I (using Word 2002 or 2007) try to print it out, we get 9 nearly blank pages. The only things that get printed out are the lines around a table. The document is normally protected to allow data input only via the form, but even when I unprotect it the printing still doesn't work. I've Googled every combination of words that I can think of that might be relevant, but can't find anything that explains what the reason for the problem is let alone a solution. Can anyone help, please? Many thanks, Alan Cossey PS Getting the clients to use Infopath for data input is a non-starter. Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103187

    - Word/normal.dot/Toolbars problem?? I have created a toolbar called CustomMacros and have placed a drop-down menu in it with various macros. A few macros that I don't use any more I have deleted out of the normal.dot and have dragged their labels off the menu bar, however, once I close out of Word the label still appears in the menu. I've also added another menu to the toolbar and split up the list of macros categorically since the list in the one menu was getting too large, yet when I close out of Word the changes I've made have been ignored and my original long-listed menu remains intact. So, the problem is any changes I make to the toolbar will not stick. Anyone know what's up with this? Thanks for your help. jerem Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103169

    - Custom Macros, Toolbars and Buttons I have inherited a set of custom macros for creating and inserting images into a document. A custom toolbar and set of buttons are associated with this macro set. I am revising and enhancing the macro set, which includes adding new buttons to the toolbar and modifying existing buttons. I've tried everything I can think of and I can't do the following: a. change an existing toolbar button's macro asignment from an obsolete, deleted macro to its new and improved replacement (the new macro has a different name) b. add a new button to the toolbar and assign it to one of the new macros.

    - PageSetup + Section Breaks = Value out of range Run-time Error 4608 Hi All, I have seen this problem on a few forums and have found a solution that has so far worked 100%. If you don't want all the details skip to the second to last line. The problem occurs when using a VBA macro to set certain Page Setup Properties such as ActiveDocument.PageSetup.FirstPageTray=1 ActiveDocument.PageSetup.RightMargin=10 On trying this on some documents that contain section breaks an error is received Run-time error '4608': Value Out Of Range The only solutions I could find were to replace all section breaks with page breaks which in a lot of circumsatnces works fine. But if the section breaks are necessary then there are ways to correct the document. After hours of frustration I decided I needed to compare a working document with a broken document and the only way I could think to do this was to save it as XML and view it in a text editor. What I found was that there is an attribute in each section which has the XML of <w:docGrid w:line-pitch="360"/> or similar this XML can usually be found just before </w:sectPr>. Now in a healthy document this setting is the same in each section throughout the document. And in a document that causes the error the line-pitch is different in one or more of the sections. --Note if the setting is present in any one section then it must be the same value and included in all sections. There is also a simpler way I have found to correct the documents but I don't know if the method will have any side effects. You would think that if the 'line-pitch' was visible in the XML then there would be some where in Word that you could set this value. However in a normal English word setup it is impossible to find. Usually in Word on the Page Setup dialog there are 3 tabs Margins, Paper, Layout. But if you go into Start->Programs->Microsoft Office->Microsoft Office Tools->Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings and add Korean, Chinese, or Japanese to the enabled languages you will get an extra tab called Document Grid and in here you can specify Grid setting. The normal value for line-pitch seems to be 360 in the XML for (A4 Paper). To achieve this through the word interface I have been selecting the radio button 'Specify Line Grid Only' and then setting the Pitch in the lines setting to 18 (set it to 17 then click the up arrow) make sure to apply to the whole document and run the VB code again this time no error. I was just about to ask for some help to achieve this in a macro when it struck me I can record a macro. ActiveDocument.PageSetup.LinesPage = 38 'achieves the same as all the above but is a little bit easier. Just thought I should share that knowledged with you. Rich.

    - Error when creating a masterdocument with VBA I have read that master documents are not good. But for now I want to give it try but still be on the safe side. By writing some VBA code to take a number of files make a subfolder, copy all relevant files there and then create a master document there. So it does not matter if the master document corrupts some files since they are just copies of the original anyway. Plus I can make different editions of the book I am working on putting together. The editions must have some different formating and so on. Anyway I have gotten folder and file handling to work fine for me. Although when I try to run the following code. Sub makeEdition(currPath As String, dirName As String, ByRef filesToCopy As Collection) makeDirAndFillIn currPath:=currPath, dirName:=dirName, filesToCopy:=filesToCopy ChDir path:=currPath Documents.Add Template:=currPath & "\Chapter-template.dot" Dim masterName As String masterName = currPath & "\" & dirName & "\master.doc" ActiveDocument.SaveAs fileName:=masterName, FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument, _ EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False Dim masterDoc As Document Dim masterDocRange As Range Set masterDoc = Documents("master.doc") Set masterDocRange = masterDoc.Range masterDocRange.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseStart ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdMasterView Dim subDocName As String Dim subDocPath As String subDocPath = currPath & "\" & dirName & "\" ChangeFileOpenDirectory path:=subDocPath For i = 1 To filesToCopy.count subDocName = filesToCopy(i) masterDocRange.Subdocuments.AddFromFile name:=subDocName, ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, Revert:=True Next i masterDoc.Close End Sub It it the last for loop that is the problem. As soon as I try to add a sub document. Word hangs and stops responding and I have to kill it from the task manager. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work or this a bug in word? I think I am going to use the INCLUDETEXT field instead. But I can't help wondering what is wrong with my code. Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103148

    - Using Word can you use track changes in fillable fields? We are using Word XP Professional and we have a fillable Word document. Currently, the form is protected with the Tracked changes option selected. We only want tracked changes to apply to certian fillable fields and not the entire document. Is this something that can be done? If so, how? Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103147

    - Menu Macro doesn't work when .Doc saved as .Dot Hello, I've written VBA code for a macro that executes when the document is opened. The Macro sets up a custom menu on the menu bar. The macro depends on a text file stored in another directory. If the text file exists, one ste of menus is created. If the text file doesn't exist, a different menu is created. The macro executes flawlessly when I save it as a normal .doc document. However, when I save it as a .dot the macro doesn't work when I close Word and then reopen. If I remove the provision in the macro that checks the existence of the text file, the menu macros execute fine wether its saved as a .doc or .dot. Any suggestions why the macro would work in a .doc but not a .dot document? Thanks Microsmith Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103146

    - ReplaceBookmark I think this error has to do with AutoFormat. If I have a bookmark at the beginning of a line--then a space--then the next word as: MyBookMark cannot figure this out. ReplaceBookMark MyBookMark, "Joe" I get this: Joecannot figure this out. If I put two spaces...I get two spaces. Joe cannot figure this out. How do I get this to work? Do I turn of some AutoFormatting. It has to be in code because this doc will live on other machines (not just mine) Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103133

    - Macro wont work in protected form can someone please help me on this: I have created a form, that needs to be protected to enable to form field settings to work and so that none of the other text can be deleted. In this form I have created a click button macro so that when it is pressed it automatically creates a "Order Number" and saves this document as that order number. The problem I am having is that when the document is protected to enable the form field settings that macro won't work, is there something that I am missing? A fast response on this will be greatly appreciate :-) Many thanks Arran Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103127

    - Macro to open document Hi, I've searched the entire Word discussion group to see if I can get something similar to my situation but did not get it. I've created a mailmerge file with bookmarks. I am still in the testing/updating phase, but later on want to save it as a template. The source for the merge fields is Excel. I want to create a macro button in Excel that will open the Word file (template) and run the merging immediately to a new document. The only thing the users need to do is save/print the new document. I am using Word 2000. Hope I was clear enough. By the way, are there VBA lessons online (trusted websites)? Thanks & Regards, Lupe Tag: Get a value from a Table Tag: 103124

    - Find/Replace: Find numbers and replace with n-1 Hi, this is not strictly a VBA question (rather about the advanced find/ replace feature), but close: I'm trying to find out how to find certain numbers inside specific text strings, modify the text string and replace each number with n-1 (i.e. make >abc=1< to #xyz=0#, >abc=2< to #xyz=1# etc.). I know how to modify the text string while *preserving* the numbers, but have no idea how to calculate the n-1 number in the replacement string. So I would search for something like \>abc\=([0-9]{1,})\< and replace it with .... what? Is there a way to do this w/ find/replace or do I need a full VBA macro? Any ideas?

Dim myrange as Range
Dim i as Long
Set myrange ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range
myrange.End = myrange.End - 1
MsgBox myrange.Text

myrange.Text will contain a string that is the contents of the first cell in
row i in the table.
