File System Object Issue.
Greetings: The code below is used to copy a folder and all its contents. It works great and is quite fast when run across a local drive, and even when run across a shared drive close to me in the network tree, if I'm using the right term. The problem is that when I run it across a shared drive...

subject - line spacing in Word 2010

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 09:32 AM PDT

I am a traditional touch typist.   I am used to using the Enter key to move down to the next line - the original position for the "return key" on the traditional typewriter.   I have tried to use this to move down one line when entering an incomplete line of text but I find the next line of entry is double space between lines.   The single line entry works fine when entering a full line of text as the system automatically finds its way to the next line but how can I move down only one line space to enter text which does not fill the space - margin to margin.   For instance - entering an address which is obviously not going to spread across from margin to margin.

I cannot change the habit of a lifetime as a traditional typist and need to be in control of line spacing of my own choice - not what the computer and Mircrosoft thinks I need.   Please give me the option of using my keyboard as a traditional typist and leave the gismos to those who are not keyboard savvy.   Is this too much to ask.   Please tell me how to turn off the facility which is turned on to accommodate the new generation and let me decide when I want single line spacing and double ( by the time honoured method of pressing the return key twice.

"how can I save an MS word file that is not responding"

How can I insert a comment attached to two or more non adjacent segments of text that have been selected?

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 02:39 PM PDT

In microsoft word in order to insert a comment I must first select some piece of text.
I want to insert a comment that is related to chunks of text that are not adjacent, but if I select texts and use the "new comment" command this comment gets attached to the last selected chunk of text.
E.g: in the following text, bolded words represent selected words.

Dogs are the most friendly animals in the world ...
... (more text, probably not related) ...
Cats are so repulsive that ....

Then, I click on "new comment" and the bubble shows up but gets linked just to the last selected piece of text. However, what I want is the comment be linked to both words, for example to say: they both are mammals.

Formatting a section footer in a Word Macro

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 02:10 PM PDT

I am trying to create a macro that inserts a new section into a word document changes the new section to landscape and format the header and footer of the new section.  The macro records OK but when  it runs it formats the page number (by changing the tab setting) in the previous section.  I cannot find a way to stop this.  The formating is done after unlinking the header and footer from the previous section

 

The logic is:

Insert section at cursor

Change orientation to Landscape

Edit new section Header and unlink it from the previous section

Move to Footer

Edit new section footer and unlink it from the previous sectiion

Change the right align tab from 6" to 9" (basically right aligning the page number in the landscape section) - its this bit that adjust the footer in the previous section when the macro runs.

Close footer and return to the main document in the new section.

 

Can anyone help me with the necessary code to make the macro adjust the correct footer tab settings?

 

Thanks

How do I change the tab options to hide or show as drop downs?

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:36 AM PDT

I want to use screen capture with minimal interference from ME Word. I don't want the File, Hone, Insert ... drop down options to show on the screen as they take up too much space. In View, "Full screen" is too narrow (and obviously not full screen) and I just don;t see any option to achieve what I want.

Data collection feature?

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:06 AM PDT

Something came up before when I was saving a document, asking about sending data to Microsoft? NOT to do with error reports. I don't remember the name of the feature, but I think I hit never ask me again. I want to know how private my documents actually are. Does anyone know the name of the feature and what information it actually takes? Would it make all content in a document available if I had clicked yes? And if so, how I can turn it off for sure?

Formatted Autocorrect entries will not save.

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 08:18 AM PDT

When I put in plain text entries into my auto correct 2010 Word, they always save when I close out of Word.  When I put in formatted  text in my autocorrect and if I close out of Word they are gone.  As long as I have any kind of Word document open, the formatted text will save, just lose them when I log off or close my Word program.  I need both plain text and formatted text to save in my autocorrect Word 2010. Thanks
