    - Word deleted CTRL-Shift-P shortcut - how can I restore? I meant to press CTRL-Shift-P to open the Format - Font dialog box, but I must have accidentally pressed CTRL-Shift-Hyphen and then pressed a menu item. My understanding now is that by so doing, what I did was accidentally delete that menu item? At any rate, the CTRL-Shift-P shortcut no longer works. Is there anyway to restore it?

    - Windows application list Hi Everyone: I am not even sure if this is the correct place to post my question. If not , sorry about this. I am running a windows 2000 machine, and the last time I was updating it, somehow, I ended up with some sort of harmless (but annoying) virus from the MS web site. Basically, every time I run MS Word and I am on the web, my computer runs a program that shifts my Word window around, and clicks on some of the menus, and even clicks on the start button, and opens explorer and a bunc of other software. However, if I never start word, I do not think this program runs. Now I was wondering if in windows 2000, there is a way of knowing what allpication has been run since you turned on the computer. I have looked at event logs, but it does not show the list of run applications. When the virus program runs, I can see the time on my computer, and if I can see a list of the run applications along with the time, then I can delete the virus. I appreciate your help, and if you can give me where is the best place to post this. Thanks; Bob Tag: variable for a web address in a Shell statement Tag: 64963

    - Finding text raised by some decimal value I am trying to write a macro to find raised text, specifically, I would like to be able to find and replace the text raised by 3.5 points. I wrote a simple macro to simply find the raised text: ' Macro to find text raised by 3 points and it works great With ActiveDocument.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Position = 3 ' Finds text raised by 3 points .Execute End With However, when I try to find raised text, raised by some decimal value (say) 3.5, the macro simply fails! ' Macro to find text raised by 3.5 points and it fails With ActiveDocument.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Font.Position = 3.5 ' Finds text raised by 3.5 points ' msgbox(font.position) ' This returns 4!!!! Apparently, I think that the Font.position parameter is defined as an integer .Execute End With How do I go about this? Is there someway to get it to accept and decimal values as well? I also tried recording a macro after typing "3.5" in word's Find and Replace box. The macro recorded doesn't work either and returns 4 as well. Is this some bug? Thanks for any response.

    - Does a paragraph know it is in a table? I have some code that iterates through the paragraphs in the paragraph collection of the ActiveDocument and sets the LeftIndent for the paragraph based on the paragraph above it (actually the TextPosition property of a List item above it). Everything is fine until I hit a paragraph that is actually embedded in a table cell instead of being free standing. The result is that the LeftIndent for the text does get placed where I want it (inside the cell), but the table that it lives inside is still flush left and I'd like to move it over too. This is complicated when there are two columns in this table... my code finds the paragraph in the second column as well and sets its indent relative to the left edge of the 2nd column, which I don't want to do at all. So tables and paragraphs intermingle, but the paragraph collection doesn't seem to know about the tables and the table collection doesn't know about paragraphs. Here's a snip of code (see embedded comments): intOutlineLevel = 0 intTextPositionAbove = 0 For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs If Mid(para.Style, 1, 9) = "MM Topic " Then intOutlineLevel = para.OutlineLevel intTextPositionAbove = para.LeftIndent para.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate _ ListTemplate:=ltTemp, ContinuePreviousList:=True Else If (para.Style = "Normal" Or Mid(para.Style, 1, 3) = "MM ") Then ' If this para is in a table, I'd like to indent the table instead of the paragraph ' If this para is in the second column of a table I don't want to indent at all! If (para.LeftIndent - intTextPositionAbove) <= 0 Then para.LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.25 * intOutlineLevel) Else para.LeftIndent = InchesToPoints(0.25 * intOutlineLevel) + _ (para.LeftIndent - intTextPositionAbove) End If End If End If Next para Thanks in advance for your ideas...

    - Docking custom toolbars with BuiltIns I have created an addin that creates on CommandBar with one button control to run it. In a code module I have written the creation and settins methods which are call by code inside: ThisWorkbook Sub Workbook_Open() When I wrote the setting for the toolbar, I included position setting With TBar .Name = CBarName .Top = 0 .Left = 0 .Visible = True End With which creates a floating toolbar in the top left. So I tried NOT using the . top and .left and instead using .position = msoBarTop But that just centers the toolbar on screen. How can I dock a custom toolbar into Excel's already present area up top. What is that area called? and How do I access it? Tag: variable for a web address in a Shell statement Tag: 64951

    - Can anyone fix one line of VBA code for Word to text conversion? The following VBA script opens Word documents in the directory C:\src, and saves their contents as text files in the directory C:\dest.

    - Update only certain fields in template I have a template that has several document variables and text fields in it. There are 2 userforms that allow a user to update the document by dropping the text into the fields and updating them. One of the userforms works great, it updates and all is fine. The other one however clears all text in text fields when it updates. The code is the same for both userforms with the exception of the variable names, so I don't understand why they act differently. Perhaps it would be better if I could be more specific in telling Word what I want to update. Question: is there a way to specify only certain fields be updated?

    - View Markup in Template Offspring - How to turn it off? I have searched hi and low and read several threads and articles about Word's newest "feature" (the one that will finally cause me to say FrameMaker is better, BTW). I understand how to turn off markup in my document but I cannot seem to turn it off when someone creates a document based on a template I've created. Here's what I do to the template to make sure it's "clean": -View Markup. -Accept all changes. -Change view from Final showing markup to Final. -Turn off Reviewing toolbar. -Save template. I also have the following option cleared in Tools>Option, Security tab: Make hidden markup visible... I did this to over 30 templates yesterday. Today I created a new document based on one of those templates, and that d#$& markup appeared. I don't want View Markup to automatically come on every time someone creates a new document based on one of my templates. What do I need to do in the template to ensure that this doesn't happen?

Trouble is, in the following code the .chkAndByPost.Value won't change to false even though the conditions are met for it to do so and the following line of code (.chkAndByPost.Enabled = False) runs correctly. Can anyone tell my why my code won't change .chkAndByPost.Value to False in the following code? Many many thanks for any feedback... Sub tickIsToFax() With objForm .txtToFaxNumber.Enabled = .chkIsToFax.Value If .chkIsToFax.Value = True Then .chkAndByPost.Enabled = True .txtToFaxNumber.BackColor = RGB(256, 256, 256) 'white .txtToFaxNumber.SetFocus Else Select Case .chkIsToEmail.Value Case True .chkAndByPost.Enabled = True Case False ' Even though this code runs, ' the value won't change to False .chkAndByPost.Value = False .chkAndByPost.Enabled = False End Select .txtToFaxNumber.BackColor = RGB(192, 192, 192) 'grey End If End With End Sub Tag: variable for a web address in a Shell statement Tag: 64795

    - multi access form I have been asked to create a form that asks the users to fill out the details and thats that....ONLY ITS NOT....they want it so the next time they open the completed form they are able to add another answer to the same question under the previous answer.. How is this done..so it knows there is already an answer there but it needs to place another reply underneath....bearing in mind there is several questions in a kind of table format.

    - Stripey Tables Good morning, all! Following on from the success of my checkerboard table yesterday (thanks to all who helped!), I now want to do something that I thought would be simpler, but in fact has turned out to be more problematical. I now want to colour alternate columns in the table in one of two different colours, to produce a striped effect. However, when I get to the indicated line in the code below, I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" I'm sure this should be quite easy to get around - I would have thought that each member of a column would be a cell, but I'm obviously wrong - can anybody help me out with the correct syntax, please? Thanks in advance Pete Sub VStripeGrid() SetRGBColours ' Subroutine to set RGB sequences to colour variable names GridReset ' Subroutine to sets all cells back to white FirstForegroundColour = Black FirstBackgroundColour = Custom1 FirstTexture = wdTextureNone SecondForegroundColour = Black SecondBackgroundColour = Custom2 SecondTexture = wdTextureNone 'Set ThisTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) If Not Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then MsgBox ("Select a table before running this macro") Exit Sub End If Set ThisTable = Selection.Tables(1) ColumnCount = ThisTable.Columns.Count RowCount = ThisTable.Rows.Count 'MsgBox (RowCount & " rows by " & ColumnCount & " columns") SetRGBColours For ColumnCounter = 1 To ColumnCount If ColumnCounter Mod 2 = 1 Then 'odd numbered column MsgBox ("Column " & ColumnCounter & " of " & ColumnCount) ----> For Each CellToColour In ThisTable.Columns(ColumnCounter) With CellToColour.Shading .ForegroundPatternColor = FirstForegroundColour .BackgroundPatternColor = FirstBackgroundColour .Texture = FirstTexture End With Next CellToColour End If If ColumnCounter Mod 2 = 0 Then 'even numbered column For Each CellToColour In ThisTable.Columns(ColumnCounter) With CellToColour.Shading .ForegroundPatternColor = SecondForegroundColour .BackgroundPatternColor = SecondBackgroundColour .Texture = SecondTexture End With Next CellToColour End If Next ColumnCounter End Sub Sub SetRGBColours() Black = RGB(0, 0, 0) Blue = RGB(0, 0, 255) Green = RGB(0, 255, 0) Cyan = RGB(0, 255, 255) Red = RGB(255, 0, 0) Magenta = RGB(255, 0, 255) Yellow = RGB(255, 255, 0) White = RGB(255, 255, 255) Custom1 = RGB(200, 150, 150) Custom2 = RGB(100, 100, 100) End Sub Sub GridReset() Set ThisTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) ColumnCount = ThisTable.Columns.Count RowCount = ThisTable.Rows.Count MsgBox (RowCount & " rows by " & ColumnCount & " columns") SetRGBColours For RowCounter = 1 To RowCount For ColumnCounter = 1 To ColumnCount Application.StatusBar = "Processing Row: " & RowCounter & ", Column " & ColumnCounter 'MsgBox ("Row " & RowCounter & ", Column " & ColumnCounter) CellToColour = ThisTable.Cell(Row:=RowCounter, Column:=ColumnCounter) With CellToColour.Shading .ForegroundPatternColor = Blue .BackgroundPatternColor = White .Texture = wdTextureNone End With Next ColumnCounter Next RowCounter End Sub Tag: variable for a web address in a Shell statement Tag: 64771

Basic problem, but I can't get the hang of it.

In the code below, I want to replace the web address with a variable
called sAddress to open a web page.

Shell ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
www.washingtonpost.com"), _
vbNormalFocus

I've tried all kinds of variations similar to the below code using &,
but I can't find the way that works.

Shell ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE sAddress"), _
vbNormalFocus
