    - Newbie macor vba script Hi, I'm new at this. I would like to pause my Word97 macro and input the content for Name:="" as in Name:="Albion2" How can I re-write this please? Someone suggested: rng = InputBox "Please enter a range name" .Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:=rng But that invokes the File/Save-as window? What I really need to to be able to pause and input the data in the bookmark window. I know Word97 is oldish, but still very useful for what I do. I bought and have the 2000 CD, but never got around to installing it, would you believe.

    - Wildcard search for dashes Hi, I am trying to program a wildcard search for paragraphs that begin with a dash. Here is an example of what it looks like: - text text. - text text. - text text.

    - Att: Helmet. Search changes font size. Hi I asked a question last week and I have since managed to tidy up my macros as I was no longer sure whether the macros assigned to 'new macros' or 'this document' or referenced to the .dot was the macro which was running when I clicked on my tool bar. So I can now say with certainty that the macro below is the 'guilty' macro. When searching for words, it changes the font size which might be 16, 14, 12, 10 , for a four lettered word (falling tone) to 12,12,12,12, (normal font size which I happen use for flat tones). This possibly didn't show up in my question if you don't allow .html. Any ideas which line could be doing this? Thanks Sub Highlight() Dim sSrc As String Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow sSrc = Selection.Text Resetsearch Selection.SelectColumn With Selection.Find .Text = sSrc .Replacement.Text = sSrc .Replacement.Highlight = True .MatchWholeWord = True ' or true if you like .Wrap = wdFindStop ' !!! .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With Resetsearch End Sub Sub Resetsearch() With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .Execute End With End Sub Tag: what program allows for phrases to be selected and placed into wo.

    - Sections: Index and Count Can anyone help with the following, please? I have a document with a large number of sections. My cursor will be in the footer of a randomly selected section from which I need to step forward through each one checking a sequence until the last section is reached. In the normal course of events I might use an "On error..." statement which would occur when arriving at the last section and my code asks for another one. I would exit from the routine at this point as the error would be trapped. However, in this instance, when I arrive at the last section whilst still in the footers and update my sequence the cursor flips back to the previous section. The code continues to ask for the next section and therefore a loop is generated. I know how to determine the number of sections in a document and also know how to go to the last one as well as stepping through each section. But how can I find out when I've arrived at the last section after each step through? Is there a way of comparing the index of the section the cursor is located against the total number of sections?

    - Using Hyperlinks in Protected Forms I have followed the FAQ (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/HLinksInFormsContent.htm) to the letter, and I can't get hyperlinks in protected forms to work properly. I have several hyperlinks pointing to bookmarks within the same Word XP document. This is a form that the user fills out; the hyperlinks take them to a spot in the document which explains the section of the form they're in. But after I've created the macro, added the macrobutton to the hyperlink field, and protected the form, when I double-click on the hyperlink/button, the location jumps to the very next text field in the document, nowhere near the intended bookmark. All of my descriptions have been bookmarked, and the hyperlinks are pointing to the bookmarks as necessary. Will this trick work with internal hyperlinks? Or is it really only intended for external weblinks? I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks, Beck Tag: what program allows for phrases to be selected and placed into wo. Tag: 59065

    - FileSearch Object not working I have a macro which uses a Shell FTP to retrieve a file from UNIX to Windows to be used as a data source for a mail merge (just acomma deleimited test file). At one site which is running Windows XP and Word 2002 I'm having problems with the FileSearch object not finding the file after the successful Transfer of the file. First the user was getting a runtime error #70 Permission Denied and after checking with the site's IT dept. and being assured that the user has Full rights to the network directories where the action is taking place, the error continued. I then commented out a KILL command which got rid of the premissions error (it deletes the script I created to be used in the FTP), but after that the macro does a file search to be sure that the file is really there and it always fails, even though I can see the file in the directory. The code is: '***** Delete file with userinformation Kill (DownloadPath & "Ftpget.txt") '***** Check if file is present after download Set objFSO = Application.FileSearch With objFSO .LookIn = DownloadPath '***Path to where file is .FileName = FileToGet '**Name of file .MatchTextExactly = True If Not .Execute > 0 Then '***** File doesn't exists, display error message! ElseIf FileLen(DownloadPath & FileToGet) < 10 Then '***** File does infact exists, now check if it is more then 0 bytes =) error message2 Else '***** File download succesfull End If End With Set objFSO = Nothing The user always recieves the first error message. I've check the references and they are all the same. This code works at other sites. Is there something that was not installed on this user's machine? Can anybody help? I'm out of ideas.

I have seen information on how to do it from Excel, but not for Word. Can you point me in the right direction? Tag: what program allows for phrases to be selected and placed into wo. Tag: 58996

    - Changing numbers ** This is a re-posting of the question asked on word.vba.beginners on 9 November. I'm reposting it here due to a paucity of responses to my first post! ** We sometimes get documents where paragraph numbering needs changing and for one reason or another we cannot use automatic paragraph numbering in the document, just manual numbering. I am trying to write a macro that will enable you to renumber basic paragraphs in a document (nothing fancy, just ones numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 etc). I am using the Selection.Find method to search for the first number, then I want to replace it with another (incremented) number, search for the next number, replace that, and so on till the end of the document. I cannot get this to work. If finds the first number and replaces it but then stops. Here's the code I've got so far, and I daresay I'm going about it the wrong way. Sub ReplaceNos() Dim a As Integer Number = 1 Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = Number .Forward = True .Wrap = wdStop .Format = False Do While .Execute if Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToTextBoundary)/72<2 then Number = Number + 1 a = Selection.Text a = a + 5 Selection.Text = a Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd End if Loop End With End Sub This *should* search for the digit 1 and, if it is within the first 2 inches of the left margin, replace it with 6. Then search for "2", replace it with 7, etc etc. Silly question... why does it not work? I really need a lot more knowledge of how the selection.find method works, I think!

    - Word templates over a WAN I have a client that has an interesting problem. The IT department wants control over templates that are installed on their corporate intranet. The network is broken up into several LANs operating at 100Mbs that are interconnected using a WAN at 7Mbs. They also have users that connect to the intranet using either dialup/broadband using a VPN. All templates are stored on their central server and they have the path to the templates set for each individual user using the Workgroup templates. A user that creates/uses a document that uses the template from the LAN experiences a 2 to 3 second delay. This user A saves the document and sends to user B that is on a different segment of the WAN. When user B opens the document then the open will take 20 to 30 seconds to complete. Each of the templates is running some VBA. Some users experience wait times of upto 20 minutes when opening a document. My guess is that when the document is opened by user B it is trying to reference the template that is on user A's segment of the WAN. I have the following recommendations for the client: 1) Replicate the servers for each of the segments such that the template is resolved to the local LAN. 2) Deploy the templates to each and every client machine on their network. Provide an installer that each user will use to install on each individual system. Any thoughts or comments? Tag: what program allows for phrases to be selected and placed into wo. Tag: 58993

I am trying to find a program (database?) to generate letters using short
phrases by drag-drop to word.The phrases would be listed by files and
subfiles. I would create the phrases but I do not know how to interface with
word. I am using Word 2002.

Thank You.
