Find and replace only selection in VBA

Posted: 17 Dec 2012 10:29 AM PST

I have a Word 2010 document in which I want to find and replace paragraph characters with a space. The code works except I want it to only replace in the selected text. When I run it it replaces all the paragraph marks on the page, including text that I have not highlighted. What needs to be changed in my code?  Thank you for your help.

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting

Formatting Text to Not Print

Posted: 16 Dec 2012 04:03 PM PST

I am working on a school project in Word 2010. Is there a way to set text to invisible so that it is still on the document, but it will not print?

I realize that may sound confusing, so I will give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish- I need to print a sample document with notes and comments about margin settings, tab settings, number of hard returns, etc, but I don't want the notes/comments on the actual document. I would like to print them on a transparent sheet (so that when placed over the actual document, you can see the notes/comments). But for this to be effective, I need everything to line up perfectly...and I figure the simplest way to do so would be to just select the document text that I don't want to print and "hide" it somehow. Is there any way to do this?

Shortcut to Recheck Spelling and Grammar in Document

Posted: 16 Dec 2012 12:39 PM PST

I know Recheck Document is buried in File>Options>Proofing and it takes 6 clicks to Recheck a document for spelling and grammar.

 

I know I can go through the Review Ribbon>Spelling and Grammar, but that is 6 clicks as well.

 

I could not find anything under All Commands in either Ribbon or QAT. That doesn't it it isn't there!

 

I did find under Keyboard ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument and I asigned an unasigned key sequence to it, but it rechecked only spelling, not grammar.

 

In editing I use this frequently and would like to find a quicker way than 6 clicks.

 

I successfully recorded a macro assigned to a QAT button, so I have that function now, however, is there a better way?

 

Thanks in advance,

Bob

 

 

Pop up

Posted: 15 Dec 2012 08:22 AM PST

Everytime I open a Word or Excel file to edit, I get a pop up that says:

"Sorry, but to open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Word.

If you have an older version of Office or no Office at all,  you can try Microsoft Office 2013 for free."

 

then below it has two boxes to click on "Try Office 2013" and " I have Office"

Funny thing is though this was popping up even when I was trying Office 2013, which I have since uninstalled.

 

Thanks

VBA Code for Centering a Line

Posted: 14 Dec 2012 02:31 PM PST

I am creating a large variable string representing several paragraphs.  The paragraphs are divided by Chr(13) & Chr(10) and start with a tab character (vbTab).

Is there a similar code or character that I could use to indicate that a paragraph is to be centered or left-justified?

Columns and Lines Between Them in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 04:18 PM PST

I'm trying to create a document with two columns using the Left Column option in Word 2013. 

 

I click Columns on the Page Layout ribbon and then select Left. 

 

The next step is click Columns and then More Columns.  In that window I mark the checkbox for Line Between.

 

The columns are created but I'm not seeing a line. 

 

Why would the line not appear? 

 

Also, I'd like to type primarily in column 2 with column 1 used for graphics and text that refers to information in column 2.  How can I select column 2 for typing rather than being forced to start in 1 and let the text flow into 2?

 

Thank you

However, you can make those commands appear in the toolbar, which will in
turn make it larger. Just click the "More Buttons" arrow, and then
Control-click the command you want to appear in the main part of the
toolbar. In the contextual menu that appears, click "Show Command", and
then it will move to the visible part of the toolbar.

AutoUpdate could not be found

Posted: 22 Feb 2007 02:53 PM PST

Hi John -

As I understand it, Bill summed it up very nicely from the point effect -
although I'm not sure I'm in complete agreement on _cause_. The para below
is quoted from Dr. Smoke in the Apple Discussions Forum:
 

Repairing permissions routinely is not an absolute necessity, but I
typically encourage its use in order to help avoid potential conflicts.

It's well & fine to not understand what it does, well & fine to not believe
in it, but at least you're man enough to say so rather than advocating from
a position of ignorance that *others* disregard its effectiveness :) For
someone to dismiss it a "myth" in the face of a situation where it *did* in
fact help resolve a critical issue is, IMO, irresponsible at the very least.

I don't know why it's doing it for you. On my system, I can open/edit from

Office 2004 Updates consistently Kernel Panic on OS X Server 10.4.8

Hi, John.

Thanks for the information and for all your help. I will send those
logs along to the address you recommended.

Just so future readers know, I tested the RAM (by removing certain
pairs, then others), but the kernel panic kept occurring at the same
point during the update. Since this user needed the computer up and
running fast, and since there wasn't much data to back up, i just
reinstalled the OS, and it seems to be working now. I was hoping it
didn't come to that, but it worked.

Installation cd wont work

Posted: 20 Feb 2007 12:12 PM PST

Hello Lise -

I'm afraid things are definitely in disarray due to the history you related,
but you should be able to get back on track if you follow the instructions
at the link below. There should be no need to obtain new keys or repurchase
anything. You can't "use them up" unless they're all in use at once - but
that's what the installer thinks is the case.

Make sure that the 2 Macs are *not* connected (networked) in any way before
you start, and that OS X is fully updated. In fact, I'd suggest that you
apply the 10.4.8 Combo Updater (Intel) *after* the removal & *before* the
reinstallation. You'll need to do a proper Removal & reinstallation - and
you may need to run the Remove Office tool more than once. Don't omit the
use of Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions as mentioned there:

http://word.mvps.org/mac/RemoveReinstall.html

Also, if your 2004 package is actually an *upgrade* you'll need to have the
Office:Mac v.X disk handy to install 2004.

If you have any further problems post back as a _new_ post with all
pertinent details. This problem is completely different from the original
that started this thread & you're a totally different user - it's quite
possible that your request could have gotten overlooked altogether. As a
separate thread it will be easier for everyone to follow & more meaningful
as an archive.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt for us to explain how these groups work from our
point of view...

Each of the people offering help here is a volunteer. None of us works for
Microsoft. We're not allowed to: if MS hires one of us, we have to hand in
our badge :-)

Many of us are very highly-specialised in a particular product. Some may
cover more than one, but nobody covers "everything".

Regrettably, if you post in the wrong group, the people who are most likely
to know the answer may not see the question at all. Also, as soon as
someone does answer, others may not read either the question or the reply.
If I see that Daiya's got it: sorry, but I probably won't read it.

In this case, arguably the leading expert on your matter is Diane, although
both Daiya and Allen certainly know more than I do about Entourage Projects
(which is not too difficult...)

Sorry, but some of us have to cover a lot of ground in the couple of hours a
day we can devote to this :-) For example: I'm a Word specialist. That's
it: Just Microsoft Word. To cover that, I am across about 11 different
groups: I need to get through between 200 and 500 posts a day (I have seen
it go up to a thousand when a new version comes out with bugs in it...)

So: Sorry if we missed your query! We do the best we can to serve you, and
the price is right :-)

To answer one of your questions: Yes, this is the only way you get to
converse with a human being for free about using Microsoft products. When
you buy shrink-wrap software, you get a "licence to use" with phone support
only for "installation". That support is limited to getting the product
running.

There is extensive support information on the Microsoft website, which of
course is also free. And there's us. Other kinds of question are
chargeable support.

Your question is about "how to use" or "how to repair". That's always a
chargeable item: you can purchase a support contract, but the cost is
prohibitive unless you're running hundreds of copies. Or you can buy
professional support at $35 per incident.

Hope this helps

What is 2008?

Posted: 16 Feb 2007 08:38 PM PST

At this point in time, Office 2008 is nothing more than a marketing term for
the next release of MS Office for Mac. Anything beyond that is constrained
to development within MS. We did see a "sneak preview" at MacWorld which
suggested that there may be some similarities as well as some difference,
but any number of changes are likely to occur before the current concepts
evolve into a product released to market.

Continue to check the Mactopia site for info. MS is the only reliable source
of information about *their* plans & products, and when there is something
to tell us I doubt they will hide it in any way ;-)

After having downloaded and installed Office 365 Home premium preview, I needed to uninstall my copy of Office 2010 (Office 2010 was giving me a lot of conflicts). The upshot of this action is that Office files (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc) are no longer linked to Office. I can open them and work with them from within Office 365 though, but when I try to access them directly by clicking on them, they are now linked to Office WordPad. Office is no longer listed in my list of programs so I can't link these files to Office 365. How can I do so?

Why my word files go 'Read only' automatically, without a warning, when I edit it?

An other option is to use space-strings with a fix character count
and fill in your numbers from right to left, i.e. rightalign your numbers,
so that they end in the second and then append your modifier.
Your example then look like:

rooms

"19 "
" 2 "
"22 "
"20C"
"15 "
" 2A"
" 2B"

One last thing that has not been mentioned so far (or at least I didn't spot
it when skimming through the thread): I would recommend adding the MUD
folder (that's the Microsoft User Data folder inside a user's Documents
folder), or the Office 2004 Identities folder, to Spotlight's privacy list.
The data which Spotlight requires to index Entourage data is not stored in
that folder anyway, and Spotlight might take up quite a lot of memory trying
to index the database in the MUD folder, which it can't due to the
monolithic nature of the database.

Apart from that, I fully agree with what other users have said here: more
RAM definitely won't hurt.

Microsoft Office 2004 unable to print

Well - it _shareware_, not "commercial" which can make a big difference. It
does _appear_ to have some recognition, but by the same token it hasn't been
updated in almost a year. Much has changed in OS X since 5/06. However, it
does nothing with regard to other permissions settings. 

It isn't an *assumption* at all, it's an absolute fact. As explained on the
page I directed you to, print services are provided by the OS & the printer
software (driver). All the app does is call for it when you issue the Print
command. IOW, there is nothing in Office or any of its apps that control
printing. They merely react to the response they get when sending the job.
 

This was also explained on the same page - there are several levels of print
services in OS X. The apps you mention (TextEdit & Preview) operate at the
lower level. The apps in the Office suite summon the more advanced levels,
so it isn't at all uncommon for more complex apps to have problems printing
while lesser-demanding apps don't. That's why the suggestions to print from
TextEdit are a part of the troubleshooting steps... To help determine at
what level the error lies. 

This last "utility" is quite likely what created the problem - it's hard to
say what a scavenger of this sort may have yanked out by the short hairs. 

It stands to reason that each app responds differently - each is trying to
access different aspects of the OS print services & is running into some
sort of barrier. I'm pretty certain the unknown error is generated by OS X
(numerical codes like this usually are) & is undefined due to damage which
is unforeseeably out of the ordinary. 
IMHO, you need to:

1) Start up from the OS X install disk, go to the Utilities menu & run Disk
Utility - Repair Disk (*not* Repair Disk Permissions). If necessary run it
more than once until no errors are reported. Restart from the HD.

2) Download & install the OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (Intel), then run Repair
Disk Permissions.

3) Reinstall your printer driver & repair permissions again.

4) Reapply the Office 11.3.4 update & repair permissions yet again. (If the
update won't apply use 11.3.3 first, then 11.3.4)

Please post back with your results.

You're most certainly welcome - just remember to run Repair Disk Permissions

Which antivirus are you running? Are you running Spotlight?

Have you yet worked through the trouble-shooting tips?

We need to know your update versions and levels before we can go much
further.

Automatically open template when Excel 2003 starts

And it continues to be confusing, since this is the Mac Office

microsoft.public.excel.newusers
microsoft.public.excel
microsoft.public.excel.misc
microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions
microsoft.public.excel.programming
microsoft.public.excel.templates


For WinXL, the template in your startup folder should be named
"Book.xlt" (no quotes), for the default template, otherwise, it won't be
opened on startup.

You can also have a single-worksheet workbook named "Sheet.xlt" (again,
no quotes) in your startup folder that will be used as the default
whenever you insert a worksheet.

Hi Thor:

Many thanks for getting back to us with all that detail!

Yours is the very FIRST confirmed case of a bad product key that I have seen
:-) There have been hundreds of complaints of this over the years; which
all turned out to be poor typing, the wrong key, or a stolen (disabled) key.

Yours is the first report I have seen where Microsoft actually confirmed
that your key was bad :-)

Many thanks

Office Crashing on MacBook

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 07:49 AM PST

We have ONE other problem similar that we are working on (Word closes
suddenly with no warning or indication of why while pasting).

We have no answer for that one either.

Usually "sudden quitting" is as a result of a wrong keystroke. If the
application crashes, it normally pops up a dialog saying the application had
to close and offering to tell Microsoft or Apple about the problem.

If you do not get those error dialogs, then it didn't "crash" and we can't
say why it closed.

The next time you DO get one of those error dialogs, copy the text it is
about to send and post it in here: that may give us a clue what happened.

Cheers

Advice for a University Student

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 04:54 AM PST

Thanks for the links.

Yeah, I did have a grant on my previous course (for a windows 3D
graphics rig) but these are one-off per student, nationally. I could
probably get one to cover software expenses though.

So far, Entourage looks like it can handle all my email/calender/task
needs, and the project centre is a real bonus (I used to use the Works
version a lot, basic though it is). I doubt it would synch with my
smartphone, but the missing sync can if it's really important,
otherwise I can just use the MacBook to keep tabs on things (only
reason I used the phone was it was the only portable I had).

For notetaking, the only reason I considered OneNote is that I could
add diagrams to typed text quickly with a graphics tablet, and
organise them later. Looking at it, Word Notebook with the scribble
tool (or importing via Inkwell) should suit my needs.

There's an Apple reseller near here (the longest running in the UK, in
fact), I'll call them and see if they have Office installed on any of
their display models (or a staff one) so I can try it before buying a
notebook.

Given I start my course in October, it may be worth holding off
purchasing until I hear more on 2008, unless any good offers crop up
at the local store. Might be worth running the numbers against a 2007
equipped Vista Laptop too, though unless I *need* the department's
chem software on windows (and so parallels and XP) I could just use
the labs. Besides, I'm pretty much sold on the Mac's other features.

how to enter registration key for mac microsoft office 2004

Posted: 10 Feb 2007 12:49 PM PST

It sounds like you hope the Mac Office Test Drive could be converted
into a real version by entering a registration key. It can't. The test
drive is a different program. In fact, it is ESSENTIAL that you remove
it before installing a real version, if you choose to buy. Use the
Remove Office tool in the Test Drive folder in Applications.

the word "null" and the punctuation mark "/" show up in every Word email attachment I send

Posted: 09 Feb 2007 12:32 PM PST

Based on the question "what email service are you using," I logged on
to the one I'm having the problem with - Earthlink - and found that
it is an Earthlink issue. It has nothing to do with MS Office for Mac
2004 as several of you noted. Thank you for your suggestions not to re-
install Office for Mac. Importantly, the error word "null" does not
affect the integrity of the attachment.

Earthlink has it on their list to fix and say they will do so with the
next update.

Add space before first word in a sentence

Greetings!

I am using MS WORD 2010 (in a Korean language version)

Whenever I try to add a space bar before the first word in already typed sentences, WORD automatically indents. How can this be turned off or prevented?

For example,

Four score and seven years ago.

 Four score and seven years ago.

When I insert a space bar before "Four" the sentence is indented.

How do I change saved OpenOffice files back to Word?

Changes to colours in text and pictures when printing in MS Word 2010

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:56 AM PST

When printing word documents coloured text and photograph colours are being changed. Pictures print correctly from My Pictures or when in Paint. Print Preview shows correct colours. Green becomes brown/orange in both text and pictures.Appears to be an issue with Word rather than the printer.

Any ideas please

I use Word 2007. I am unable to get it to set a Default font, font size, or font color. Sometimes these things will, after setting, change in the middle of the text I'm typing. I'm desperate!

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 08:41 AM PST


I like to use Ariel font, size 12 pt., and Black  for most everything I do, including Word documents, email, etc.  I am unable to
set these as  defaults.  On occasion, one or all will change right as I'm typing.  I may have to find a tall bridge, if I don't have
an answer soon.  /C
