    - Intercept {Enter} key in VBA I have written a routine "InsertPageBreak" that checks the Selection range to ensure that no bookmarks will be split by insertion of the page break. I would like to do the same for whenever the {Enter} key is pressed to start a new paragraph, but I can't find a Word command that is initiated by the {Enter} keystroke. All help is greatly appreciated. -- Tim Shaffer Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 59030

    - Word in browser, formatting question Hi! I generate a report in a jsp page and change the ContentType on the page to application/msword. The document opens up in a Word in IE. However, when the document is opened, it's loosing some formatting and when the users try to save it, it gives a warning that some formatting is going to be lost. My question is: Can I change formatting and appearance of the document on the client without programming against the Word object model ? What else can I do to satisfy the requirement that the users should be able to save it to a .doc format? Many Thanks in Advance, Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 59027

    - 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.

    - 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: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58993

    - Switching Between Printers in a Single Macro Hello, I am in a fix. I have a macro that basically needs to perform the following tasks: Save a mail merge document to an RTF with a specific name. (So far so good on this one!) Print the RTF to a PDF file. Print the RTF to the printer on LPT1. Delete the RTF. Close any remaining open windows. Most of the macro is working fine. My trouble is switching between the two printers. No matter what I do, the default printer is being changed to Adobe PDF. I either need to know how to prevent this or how to switch it back to the printer on LPT1. The template, which incorporates this macro, is being distributed to several different people each with different printers and printer names. Is there a way to accomplish what I need???? Here is my macro so far ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sub OSDFileSaveAsRTF() ' ' OSDFileSaveAsRTF Macro ' Save merged file as an RTF file ' With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks strFileName = .Item("OSDNumber").Range.Text strFileName = strFileName & .Item("BasicForm").Range.Text End With ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf", _ fileformat:=wdFormatRTF 'Print saved RTF File to PDF File With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup) .Printer = "Adobe PDF" .DoNotSetAsSysDefault = True .Execute End With 'ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF" Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, _ PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 'Set active printer back to printer on LPT1 'ActivePrinter = " on LPT1:" 'Delete RTF File 'ActiveDocument.Close 'Kill "c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf" 'Close remaining active documents 'ActiveDocument.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Switching Printers within the same Macro I have searched and searched for a solution to my problem. I have found bits and pieces but nothing to tie it all together. I have a macro which basically does the following: Saves a merge document to an RTF file. Prints the saved RTF file to a PDF file. Prints the saved RTF file to the printer on LPT1. Closes the active window. Deletes the RTF file. Closes remaining open windows. The problem lies in switching between the Adobe printer and the printer on LPT1. This template, which contains the macro, will be distributed on several different computers. Each computer has its own printer with its own name. I am saving to the RTF file so that the PDF file is forced to have the same name in a specific directory. Below is my macro (such as it is right now)! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sub OSDFileSaveAsRTF() ' ' OSDFileSaveAsRTF Macro ' Save merged file as an RTF file ' With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks strFileName = .Item("OSDNumber").Range.Text strFileName = strFileName & .Item("BasicForm").Range.Text End With ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf", _ fileformat:=wdFormatRTF 'Print saved RTF File to PDF File With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup) .Printer = "Adobe PDF" .DoNotSetAsSysDefault = True .Execute End With 'ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF" Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, _ PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 'Delete RTF File ActiveDocument.Close Kill "c:\osd\" & strFileName & ".rtf" 'Close remaining active documents ActiveDocument.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you can make heads or tails from the above since the line breaks are messed up. I basically want to make sure at the end of the process that the default printer is the printer on LPT1 not Adobe PDF. No matter what I do, the default printer keeps getting switched over. Any help would be appreciated. And thanks in advance. Regards, Gilley aka DilbertIsMyHero Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58976

    - Extending match time for a combo box Hi all, I have an application (a Word 2002 VBA macro) that requires users to make a selection from a combo box. The users typically type text to make the match, but the 2-second default timing for the combo box isn't enough. They're complaining that they'd like more time to type. I can't find any properties on the ComboBox to change this. I did find this text in the Help documenting the time allowed for matching: "The matching feature resets after two seconds (six seconds if you are using Far East settings). For example, if you have a list of the 50 states and you type "CO" quickly, you will find "Colorado." But if you type "CO" slowly, you will find "Ohio" because the auto-complete search resets between letters." Has anyone figured out a way to change this behavior so it takes longer than 2 seconds to reset? Thanks, Doug Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58963

    - custom menu items linked to 'remote' macro I'd like to add a custom menu item (easy enough), but want the macro to point to macro located in a file on the network. The reason for this is so that many users will use this macro and I dont want to have to maintain each user's normal.dot file. I want a single source for the macro, so that users can benefit from updates/bug fixes/revs etc without having to copy the code each time there's a revision. It seems the problem is that the only macros that show up as available for menu items are located in the normal.dot file (stored locally).

    - Can I associate a smart tag with an custom object? Hi I want to associate a smart tag with a custom object within Word, Excel, Powerpoint. The objects can be a table, chart or text that have special properties which enable its contents to be remotely updated from a web server (via SOAP/XML interface). I want to associate a smart tag with these object types to enable users to perform certain actions on the object, such as "refreshing" the table, chart, text from the remote web server. After reading all about Smart Tags, I am sure this is possible, though possibly Smart tags are not the best solution. If I use Smart tags, I would not need to code a recogniser, as the object would only need to be associated with a smart tag and its actions upon creation. I was thinking that perhaps a better way to do this would be to provide a context-sensitive pop-up menu for each object and enable the user actions through this menu.

    - Working with a created instance of xl wd2k/off2kPro What I want to do is (from a Word Macro) create an instance or use an existing instance, of Excel and copy a range of cells. I figured I'd want this in case the user already had Excel running (I didn't want to shut them down). This was made necessary because I can't use the InsertFile function in Off 2003 so I thought I'd use the "PasteFromExcel" function. Sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't so I decided to do some learning at home (hence my testing is in Off 2k). This is the 1st time I've delved into this so I'm way over my head here (a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!). Here is my test macro (I've added comments with *'s); Note that it locates/opens the Wb and sheet ok (so I've deleted some logic for "readability"). Sub GetThePSTable() Dim XLap As Excel.Application Dim XLwb As Excel.Workbook Dim XLSht As Excel.Worksheet Dim XLPSnm As String xx = "" On Error Resume Next Set XLap = GetObject(, "Excel.Application") If XLap Is Nothing Then Set XLap = New Excel.Application xx = "Using New Object" Else xx = "Using Existing Object" End If XLap.Visible = True Set XLwb = XLap.Workbooks.Open(PSDir & PSName) Set XLSht = XLwb.Worksheets(XLPSnm) XLSht.Activate lro = 0 XLSht.Range("a65536").Select XLap.ActiveCell.End(xlUp).Select lro = XLap.ActiveCell.Row *******Works OK to here******** *** The following three statements are what I've been testing (by uncommenting one at a time) 'XLSht.Cells(3, 1) = "This is inserted" ** This works 'XLSht.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lro, 4)).Select ** This will work "once in a while" 'XLSht.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lro, 4)).Copy ** This doesn't work (doesn't copy to the clipboard) Set rngSect = Ad.Sections(1).Range.Paragraphs(3).Range **N/A to problem - I set breakpoint here rngSect.Select 'Selection.PasteExcelTable False, False, True '** Not applicable to 2k** XLap.DisplayAlerts = True XLwb.Close If xx = "Using New Object" Then XLap.Quit Set XLap = Nothing End If Set XLwb = Nothing Set XLSht = Nothing End Sub In addition - At the breakpoint I'll get "<Remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable>" as a hover message on the "XLSht.range.......Select" It's right, "the remote server does not exist" - this machines sitting all alone.

    - Saving Word documents in temp files I am working on an MS Word add-in written in C# using IDTExtensibility2. I would like to save a copy of the ActiveDocument at certain times. I would like for this saving to be similar to Word's auto-recover saving where it is completely transparent to the user. This means that when a new document is saved by my code the filename does not appear in the title bar and the user is prompted to save changes to a new file (not the one I saved to). Also, when my code saves from an existing document, the user is still prompted to save their changes. I tried to save using Document.SaveAs(), but it is just as if the user saves the document. Is there another function that can do this save for me? One other idea I've had is to make a copy of the Document object, and then save that Document to a file. I've not found any way to copy the Document, other than the shallow object.MemberwiseClone. Thanks for the help. David Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58902

    - InUse Property of Styles: What exactly does it mean We have been working with a vendor on an issue where a numbering tool utility of theirs essentially takes a document and analyzes all of the styles to determine if they are part of an outline numbering scheme. The problem is that whatever they are using to determine if the style is part of a scheme iis changing the InUse property of each style in the document to TRUE. This means that when users work in the document, all styles in the document become "available styles" or InUse. So I have a couple of questions. I've tried writing code that will capture which styles were InUse before their utility is run. This routine stores each style whose InUse status is set to True into an array. <<<< Public Sub InUseStyles() Dim n As Integer, x As Integer, y As Integer Dim TemplateName As String Dim StylesInUse() As Variant Dim StyleName As Variant Dim Styles As Styles Set Styles = ActiveDocument.Styles ReDim StylesInUse(0) For n = 1 To Styles.Count If Styles(n).InUse = True Then ReDim Preserve StylesInUse(UBound(StylesInUse) + 1) StylesInUse(UBound(StylesInUse)) = Styles(n).NameLocal End If Next n End Sub >>>>> This procedure works very well in collecting those styles InUse. But then I want to call their utility (which works fine) and then reset only those styles that were InUse before I ran their utility. Here is what I'm doing, <<<<< 'Now we reset the InUse property back to it's original state 'This first part sets the InUse property of all styles back to false. Perhaps extraneous... For x = 1 To ActiveDocument.Styles.Count ActiveDocument.Styles(x).InUse = False Next 'This section restores the original InUse styles to True For y = 1 To UBound(StylesInUse) Styles(StylesInUse(y)).InUse = True Next >>>>>> But I keep getting a "Can't assign to read-only property" of the section where I set each style to False. I assume it has to do with not being able to delete Normal or Heading 1, etc... but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me if what I am trying to do can be done? I would prefer if they would just tell us what they are doing to set each style to InUse but they won't! I just don't think I understand the InUse property as well as I could. But the vendor doesn't either! Thanks, Bill Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58900

    - Word and HTML I am working with a developer on a program that creates quotations in Word. The many pieces of text have to be entered into the program in HTML. The books we have on HTML all talk about displaying the results on Web pages. Does anyone know of a source that has specific information on how the HTML code will work going into Word? We are not sure when the HTML will control the style and when Word will control it. Thanks! Mary Lee Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58886

    - Lock Header Problem Earlier in the summer someone very kindly provided me with this link http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/ProtectWord2000PlusHeader.htm to keep my users out of the headers. Well ... one of my users found a way in. He searched for the text in the header and bypassed the "security" code. HELP!! How can I prevent this unauthorized access?

    - Assessment Hi, The other day a person asked how to find and underline text that was quoted in a document without also underlining the quotation marks. I offered a double pass find and replace solution which works, but I became curious as how to do it with a macro. I am a VBA novice and rusty now from lack of us. I put together the following code which seems to work, but I had difficulties resolving how to find each occurence of text without creating a circular loop. If I used .Wrap wdFindContinous, it would get in a never ending loop. If I used .Wrap FindStop, then I only found the first occurrence. I recalled from earlier experience that I could use a .Collaspe wdCollaspeEnd to force the search to continue until reaching the end of the document. I think that there should be a better way, but stuck with what I have. Any insight appreciated. Sub FindAndUnderlineTextInQuotes() 'Underlines text exclusive of the quotes marks Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Content With oRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = """<*>""" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWildcards = True Do While .Execute If oRng.Find.Found = True Then With oRng .MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1 .MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .Font.Underline = True .Collapse wdCollapseEnd End With End If Loop End With End Sub Tag: Run word docs on their own window Tag: 58884

What version of Word are you using? It makes a difference.

In Word 2002 or 2003, go to Tools > Options > View and check "Windows in
Taskbar".

For Word 2000, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/SDIMDI.htm.
