    - Lock Form When Text Field is Clicked I am working in Word 2002. I have created a template, the first section of the form the user types freely (no fields). The next section contains the fields that the user will tab to to complete the form. I would like to have a macro that will lock the template when the user clicks on the first field (Text1) with the mouse. Can this be done? -- Jamie Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help? Tag: 87640

    - Adding autotex to a template I have a letter template macro as a form chooser and I would like to add various autotext in a list so that they can be added to the address bookmark in the template. Is there a way or would I have to add each company name to a module as an additem and then put the addresses in a macro in the form chooser? If there is a better way which will pick up the autotex which are contained in a global template in startup then that would be great as then I wouldn't have to add a new macro every time someone requires a new address adding to the list.

    - Need to extract a Date value (text) from a Word doc Hello, We have about 950 word docs that have a date value in them, to which we need to know so we can bill them for a specific period. Each doc has the specific date contained in this phrase: "REPORT DATE: August 25, 2004". If it's relevant, the actual date (August 25, 2004) begins on line 10, col 15. All of the 950 docs have a file name in this format, eg: 1-1-111-111 and then the DOC extension, eg: 7-5-047-053.doc So, I need a routine that I can run WITHOUT having to open each and every one of the word docs. If the routine needs to run inside an empty (IOW: where no file is actually loaded or created) Word session, that's OK. The routine needs to extract the date (AND the filename) and put them into a text file (which I will import into Excel later) with two columns like below: FILE NAME REPORT DATE 7-5-047-053.doc August 25, 2004* * Note: if it is easier to change the date into another format such as 8/25/04 or whatever, that's OK with me. Looking forward to seeing your responses! Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help? Tag: 87630

    - Custom Macro My Documents defaulting error , We use word 2003 in our company. We have some shared folders that we want our users to have a direct path to from word. We created a macro Sub ISP() ChangeFileOpenDirectory "\\Xpcdc001\Plans\ISP\" SendKeys "^o" ' End Sub This macro browsers to the \\Xpcdc001\Plans\ISP\ share and then does a control O to open the open file box. We added this macro under tools --> macros --> macros then added the macros name and typed the vba code between the sub and end sub into the editor. Next we wanted to create a custom menu item linking to this macro so that our users would be able to run it easy . We went to tools --> custom --> comands added a new menu and added the macro to the menu. We get very odd results. When word is started and you go to the menu and click the macro it opens the open file box and defaults to my documents (which is incorrect because it should default to the share specified) When you close the file open box and reclick it without closing word you get the correct location in the file open box. You get the correct location everytime then when you click the macro till word is closed and reloaded. Always on the first time it defaults to the my documents location. I have downloaded all patches and service pack 2 from office website and still did not resolve the problem. Any input on this problem will help alot.

    - How to show a list of words for me to choose? Hi, I need to type a lot of documents in which some phrases occur very often. Some of the examples are "medical evidence", "medical report", "Statements of Claim", "Statements of Damages". Given that some groups of words appear very frequently, I would like to use VBA to let me choose from a list of phrases after I have typed a few letters of the target phrase. For example, when I type "med", the list of "medical", "medical report" and "medical evidence" will pop up automatically and I can choose a phrase, say "medical report", that I need from this list. Can someone tell me how to do this or tell me the good books about Word VBA teaching me to do this? Thank you. David Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help? Tag: 87623

    - String too long error I am a complete novice at programming in Word so please bear with me. I am a developing a Lotus Notes application that needs to output a document to Word. I have created a tabular Word template and am outputting the individual fields as strings, so for example: worddoc.FormFields(1).result = RaisedBy This is working fine for all of the fields except for the final one which is a text field that can contain a fair amount of data and is generating a Word "Script too long error".. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this? Could it be because the field is contained in a table cell? I've been really struggling with this output and the best way to do it as I have no experience of the features of Word at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Strange Print Error With VBA Created Doc - Solution The solution was in the Word Application itself. Tools->Options->Print->Hidden Text. Selecting this option fixed it. Seems on some machines, Word treats vba created text in text boxes as hidden by default. hals_left Hi This may or not be vba related. Has anyone ever encountered a prioblem like this before, Or know a solution A table cell in a word doc contains multiple address lines, created using the code below in a template. The address loooks just fine in Word and even in print preview, but on the actual paper on the first line appears. Also intermittent , works ok on some printers. Users have found a workaround, cut the address then paste it back before printing. Any thoughts ?

    - Count files Part of my Word macro is using for counting files in a folder. The problem is that result of counting also includes all open files in that folder. So the number of files is correct only if no documents are open in that folder. This worked well in Office 2000 (Word 2000). Result didn't include open files. The macro is the same and it doesn't work correctly in Office 2003 (Word 2003). The code: Dim stevec As Integer With Application.FileSearch .FileName = "pr????.doc" .LookIn = "\\_server_\_folder_\" .SearchSubFolders = False .Execute For stevec = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count Next End With MsgBox Stevec Regards, Iztok Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help?

    - esoteric Word VBA run order issue - not trying to scare off anyone I created a form and some VBA code behind it in a Word doc file. Under the ThisDocument (Microsoft Word Objects) for Document_Open() I have the following code: Private Sub Document_Open() form1.Show End Sub That kicks off the form but I get a Run-time error '5852': Requested object is not available. I did a line by line execution run and found that the error occurs in this line strPatMasterID = ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("PatentMasterID").Value The problem is order in which the code is executed. The mailmerge (based on msquery) is kicked off after the form opens (or in this case because of the error, when I click "end" to stop the code)... so obiviously it cannot retrieve the mailmerge.datasource.datafields if the mailmerge doesn't run first. So, does anyone how now I can manipulate the run order of the VBA code or explicitly force the msquery to run first before I retrieve the data? Would setting a timer work? thanks in advance for your help Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help? Tag: 87594

    - value for record at EOF (Using Word 2003) I have 20 records in a database and the ID of the 20th record is 24. Whenever I attempt to extract the ID# of the last record, it only shows the count (in other words, returns 20 instead of 24), using this code: jbID = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("jbID").Value If someone can show me an example of what should go before this so as to return the value of the last record, I'd appreciate it. I've tried different things with recordsets and EOF but I keep getting errors, even after setting up all the references for ADO and DAO. I'm connecting to the database since it's returning the record count, but I can't seem to pull up the actual value of the ID field in the last record.

    - Search and Replace This is probably a crude, brutish way to attack my problem, but given my limited knowledge, that is all I have. My question is: Is there a way to search for particular text and replace each instance with a blank Text Form Field? Background: I have made a merge document to fill in data from our client(s). There are some areas of the document that are not worth tracking in our database and will need to be filled in manually. I have found that mergefields and form fields do not play well together because of the locking requirement for form fields. Our secretaries are not well-versed in Word, and I am trying to make it as easy and error-free as possible to complete these documents. My idea was to complete the merge and then have them run a macro (from a custom menu) that unlinked the mergefields, replaced "**" throughout the text with a Text Form Field, then locked the document for the remaining data entry so that they could tab from area to area and fill in the required missing information. Like I said probably crude and brutish in an attempt to be efficient and helpful. Thanks for any pointers. Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help? Tag: 87557

    - Fonts for Word "Fields" when setting values We have a java application in which we create custom fields in MS Word using JACOB. On user initiation the fields are populated with values. If after creating the fields and change the FONT to a BARCODE font and when the fields are getting replaced with values, the BarCode font is not retained. The values are shown in original font. This happens only in Word 2003. The Bar Code font is retained for field values in Word 2000. Is there any setting or property to be set so that Bar Code fonts are retained for field values.

    - TOC helper - replace hidden paragraph with style separator I work at a help desk with a large number of Word users and occassionally run into the problem where users either are not familiar with using the style separator (to assist in creating run-in headings so that only the heading, not the body text, shows up in the TOC) or are older documents that used hidden paragraph marks. Since multiple people can work on a document, we sometimes end up with documents that partly use style separators and partly use hidden paragraph marks - VERY confusing. So I created the following script to replace the hidden paragraph mark with the style separator (for Word 2002 & above). Although this code has been working well for the past several days, we are still testing it. If you would like to use it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save the document you are going to try it on first. Although I cannot imagine why it would cause any problems, it is designed to replace items in the document, so there is always the chance I may have overlooked something.

However no matter what parameters I give to Selection.InsertFile, I keep getting the same message: "Recording Clipboard style sheet will require copying many styles.

    - How to find style separator code through VBA? In our company, we have a number of older documents that used hidden paragraph marks instead of style separators. The purpose of both is to separate headings from body text for easier generation of TOC. I am finding a number of documents that have a combination - hidden paragraphs marks & style separators - and it gets confusing to view these documents when hidden paragraph marks turned on (pagination will change). While my routine works, I do not like the fact that hidden paragraph marks & style separators do not appear to be distinguishable programatically; visually you can tell the difference because style separators have a light dotted frame around them. I was wondering if there is a way to distinguish the style separator from other codes. TIA, Mike Sub HiddenParaToStyleSep() Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory ' Find hidden paragraph With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "^p" .Font.Hidden = True .Forward = True While .Execute ' Replace hidden paragraph with auto color, unhide With Selection.Font .Hidden = False .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With ' Insert style separator Selection.InsertStyleSeparator Wend End With End Sub Tag: I want a united kingdom dictionary in word, help?

    - Microsoft word window Tabs I would just like to suggest that you have each new word document open in a tab format like you have on the new IE7. The tabs should preferrably open at the bottom of the word interface and be approximately where the properties bar is (the bar that tell you the size and all the other info about something wehn you run the mouse over it). This would definately give you guys a edge over anything google is planning.

    - global variables for whole project not just when user form is runn Can anyone help me. I've got a template project with 2 user forms. Code has to stop running between using the two user forms to enable the user to add unique information and check statements created to that point, before calculating of each statement occurs. Then the user re-starts the programme, so I'm trying to find a way to retain the variable information contained in the first user form, to be utilised in code for the 2nd user form. I already know about declaring global variables within modules, but I'm talking about retaining variable input for the whole project, over all modules.

I am trying to find a way to import a more "Oxford" English dictionary into
my MS Word 2003 program.

I am a US and Canadian citizen. It is just that "Oxford" is a far better
version of our language.

Have you tried setting the proofing language to English (U.K.)?
Set the language to U.S., then type "colour" and watch the error being
signalled. Then switch to U.K., and type "color" and see the error again.

By the way, as far as Word is concerned, English (Canada) is very close to
English (U.K.).

Salut!
