How to add text & page number to footer via macro

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 06:06 AM PST

Hi.
I need to remove existing footers from a batch of documents in a folder structure and add a new identifier (text) and page numbering. 

I have a macro in Excel to run through all files and folders at a given level and return all file names to a spreadsheet.  The macro then runs through each file, opens the Word document, writes a footer, saves and closes the file before repeating the process for the next one.

My problem lies in that if I try to add text, eg "My Footer" and page numbering, the page number overwrites the footer text.  I assume this is possible and it is my VBA naivety that is the issue.  I have added my code below so someone can point out where I've made a mistake.

Hoping someone can help...

CC

Code:
Sub Open_Word_Document(footerText As String)

Dim ObjWord As Word.Application
Dim myDoc As Word.Document
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim testFileName As Variant
Dim testFileNameExt As String
Dim n As Variant
Dim oSec As Word.Section
Dim oFoot As Word.HeaderFooter

Set ObjWord = New Word.Application
     ObjWord.Application.Visible = True

With ActiveSheet
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
   
For n = 1 To LastRow
    'if name doesn't end doc then skip
    testFileNameExt = Right$(Cells(n, 1), 3)
    Cells(n, 2).Value = testFileNameExt

    If testFileNameExt = "doc" Then
     testFileName = Cells(n, 1).Value
     Set myDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Open(testFileName)
           With myDoc        
        For Each oSec In ObjWord.ActiveDocument.Sections
            For Each oFoot In oSec.Footers
                If oFoot.Exists Then
                    oFoot.Range.Delete
                    oFoot.Range.Text = footerText & vbTab
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
                    oFoot.Range.Fields.Add Range:=oFoot.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 
                End If
            Next oFoot
        Next oSec
        myDoc.Save
        myDoc.Close
        Set myDoc = Nothing
      End With
    End If
Next
         ObjWord.Quit
         Set ObjWord = Nothing
End Sub

VBA: How to make Customize Keyboard dialog 'land' at the New Shortcut Key box

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 01:29 AM PST

I'd like to have a QAT button (macro) that opens the Cutomize Keyboard dialog with the cursor already in the Press New Shortcut Key box. In prior versions this sort of thing used to work:

 

   SendKeys "%n"

   Dialogs(wdDialogToolsCustomizeKeyboard).Show

 

But it doesn't now. I've also tried sending {tab 3} but no joy. I'm not that well-versed in manipulating dialogs programmatically and can't seem to find much documentation on it either. Any clues?

 

Strangely, it works just fine if I run it from the VBE, and in my universe that's normally that's where SendKeys fails most spectacularly.

word 2010 not displaying properly when opening how do I set it back to original settings

Macro for formatting heading styles

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 06:10 PM PST

I'm working with a template that uses character styles for bold and italics. I need a macro that finds all instances of bold or italics that were applied as direct formatting (ie Ctrl+I, Ctrl+B) and replaces them with the correct character style. However, simply searching for bold or italic font and replacing it with the style also changes the formatting in all the headings that are bold or italic (although they retain their paragraph styles). So after I've changed the bold and italics to character styles, I need a way to find all instances of Heading 1, Heading 2 etc, clear the character style formatting and reapply the correct heading paragraph style. Or, a way of applying the character styles for bold and italics everywhere EXCEPT headings. I need to do this across the entire document.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Whole document changes color

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 01:41 PM PST

This can apply to other formatting as well. When I highlight, say, a word or sentence and click on a new color, the whole document changes color as well but reverts back to coloring the selection I made after pressing Ctrl-Z (Undo).

 

How do I stop this behaviour?

 

I am using Word 2003.

Recovering an Automatically Deleted File that Word Put in a Temp Directory

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 11:15 AM PST

I simply can not believe MS Word did this to me. Please help.

A client sent me a zip file. I put it in the proper directory. I opened it and modified it (extensively) and saved it as a new file. I did not notice that Word had decided to PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT -- and TEMPORARY -- DIRECTORY. Ugh!! It was C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp, I think. Then I guess it decided that a couple of days had passed and deleted it. It was less than a week ago that I last worked on it.

So, I...
- Searched my entire hard drive for one of the words in the file name...nothing (or at least nothing useful)
- Checked the recycle bin...nothing
- Checked "recent files" in Word...nothing
- Went to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp and looked. There were 1,000+ garbagey-named files (CVR474C.tmp.cvr and whatnot)...and nothing useful

Help!! :(

Worksuite 2000 vs WinXP

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 06:32 PM PDT

Thanks, Kevin for the input. I must explain further. I am not looking for
one of my files. I am looking for items that used to be listed under the
Microsoft Task Launcher (under either "tasks" or "programs") I am looking
for the boilerplates that used to appear for many styles of letterhead or
the grocery lists boilerplate, for instance. These items used to appear on
the Works program when I pulled it up. Now there are several different
items listed but not some of the original ones I want to use again. When I
rec'd my new computer in April, it was already loaded with Windows XP. I
had the Worksuite 2000 disk from my old computer which was loaded with Win98
so I put the disk in and loaded it. I am the only user so the rights
shouldn't be a problem. I just don't understand why when the Works Task
Launcher listed the items when I had it on my old computer using Win98, but
now when loading it on to this computer with XP, some of the old items are
gone. Maybe I should ask if there is someplace else I should look for the
letterhead boilerplates? Is it just the fact that Works 2000 is now
interfacing with XP? It seems like it must be. This is a small issue and I
could re-create the items myself on Word but the mystery is bugging me.
Thanks for any further comments.

Upgrading Debian Woody distribution

Posted: 11 Apr 2004 03:09 PM PDT

Icebiker wrote: 
Be careful. Do you want to upgrade the distribution or just some packages?

The key to everything is the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I keep versions
for stable, testing, and unstable, then "apt-get update" using the one
I'm interested in at the moment.

What I'd do is point your sources to either testing or unstable,
depending on how close to the edge you want to get, then do "apt-get
update". After that, do "apt-get install <package(s) you want updated>"

For example, you can get KDE 3.1.4 from testing, or 3.2.1 from unstable.
Either is a major improvement over the 2.2 in stable.

"apt-get upgrade" will upgrade all of your packages. I do not recommend
doing this. Even in testing, some may not work properly with other
packages. At least when you're doing it a package at a time, you have
some control and lots of feedback as to exactly what's going to happen.
Keep an eye on the packages that are to be removed!

When the next stable release comes out, you can do an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" to get it. You can also do it to get the current testing
or unstable release, but as per "apt-get upgrade", I wouldn't do it.

Methinks that comment from the Vector webpage is merely marketing.
It makes no sense otherwise. If they can whittle down Slackware
to Vector Linux then the only difference is someone else is making
decisions. And considering some posts I've seen, Vector leaves out a lot
of things that is included with Slackware, out of some philosophy that
it all should be on a single CDROM. So, I gather, they leave out
plenty of console applications, but make sure the X based stuff
is in place. Ironic, since it's X and the desktops that make
an "old computer" suffer. And if you leave off one X based application,
all the left out console stuff could be included.

Name:  <<Name>>

Address:  <<Address>>

Comments: <<Comments >>

<horizontal Line>

<<Next Record>>

 

But I can't seem to get the "Next Record" part to work.  What do I need to do to get it to print one record after the next to the end of my recordset? 

 

Thank you!

How do I get macros to be included in the templates I create?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 04:13 AM PST

I create company wide templates and am having problems with macros that are not included/do not work in files created from these templates. When a user creates a document based on a template, the macros either do not work (the button in the access bar is there but I get an error message when I click it. I put this down to macro security settings), or the macros are not included at all, not even the button in the access bar. It does not go systematically wrong, because for some users, everything works great.

There are many posts that deal with macros on Answers, and they all explain the importance if normal.dotm and that that file is supposed to include all macros. My normal.dotm file do not contain any macros, even though I have created numerous ones. The templates I create are distributed to a number of different physical locations by means of a common folder. There is a *.bat file that installs the templates in this location: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\.

It seems as if I do something basically wrong when creating the templates with the included macros. What I want is: a user starts a new document from a template, and all styles and macros should be available in that document, no matter where is is subsequently saved. How do I make this possible?

Can macros be included in a template so that subsequent instances of the templates contain full macro functionality, regardless of the location of the originating template or normal.dotm?

Or must:
  • normal.dotm contain all macros, which would entail that we distribute normal.dotm to all users?
  • the originating template, including the macros, be distributed and placed in a defined location on all user computers?

And one final question: must an instance of a *.dotm always be saved as *.docm for macros to work? Can it under any circumstances be a *.docx file? If there is an absolute demand for this, one would think Word would give that as a suggestion when saving a file based on a *.dotm template.


Sorry for the lengthy post, but this is driving me, and many of my fellow users, crazy.


Thanks,

Lars

I have a single document with each page split into 2 columns; the page is orientated landscape, so when I print it out, I can fold it into a C5 size (i.e. half A4).
I want to add page numbers which will be different at the bottom of each COLUMN, [not each (Word) page], so that the finsihed folded document will show different page numbers on the bottom of each 'page' (= a column), and thus have two page numbers on each sheet of A4 paper.
How can I sue Word to do this automatically please?  Or do I just have to do manul inserts in the page footers, guessing the location of the middle of each column?

Format changes to mailing and retrn address are not being saved.

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:15 AM PST

I am running Windows 8 and using Word 10.  When I make changes to the format and size of mailing and return addresses on the envelope page and check ok, they are not being saved but revert to the default.  How can I save the changes?

[discuss] Install of 1.1.5

The disk I installed some time ago has the notation on its face that it is open linux 2.2

The computer was a windows machine on my peer to peer lan, and since reformatting my c drive with linux 2.2 accesses the internet through the lan's dsl modem, using an obsolete version of netscape (4.1).

Is there a way for me to look at glibc to see what version is there? Or is the only practical solution to download another version of Linux and reinstall it?

Pretty well followed the instructions on the OpenOffice web page for downloading, except rather than /tmp it downloaded to /root/carl

Really appreciate your help,

Carl

Hi Carl,
A bit more information would be useful.
What Linux distribution are you using?
Most modern distros have 3.X of glibc installed

[discuss] installing 1.1.5 on linux

Posted: 26 May 2006 03:28 PM PDT

The -3 at the end seems to indicate the third build of this version as far as
I know.

If you are running that version of glibc, the distribution is probably quite
old so installing a newer distribution would definitely be a wise option
especially if the hardware is up to it. Most of the distributions are
available free if you choose so the cost is usually not an issue. I think
that would be the best option.

Please get filemon from sysinternals.com and try to log who still might

A known error is that sometimes OOo does not terminate if you have used
it through the netscape plugin or the ActiveX control. Did you check the
task manager?

Extra spacing in multi-level list

I'd like to create a multi-level list which has extra space-before at the top level. Something like the example below. Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but I can't see any way to do this.

Thanks.

How do I carry on section page numbering and have a landscape page in the middle

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 01:08 AM PST

I started the page numbering after the title and contents page by creating a section break and starting the numbering at this new section.

 

I also added the field "sectionpages" to make it read "page 1 of 5" for example (which will not count the title and contents pages)

I now want to add a landscape page in between several portrait ones.

 

The only way I can see to do this is to have another section break either side of the landscape page.

This resets the "sectionpages" field to start counting from 1 again. I can see how to carry on the page number counting by linking to previous section but I see no way to make the total number of pages carry on.

 

Is there a way to type a formula such that it would create the field 'total number of pages minus 2' i.e. just don't count the title page and contents page?

Or add a landscape page without causing a section break.

 

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Microsoft Word 10 Starter

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 04:07 PM PST

Recently purchased new latop and it came with Word Starter 10. When I am creating new documents trhe spacing is too large. I set it to minimum but still seems to be too much space. When I open my old documents created with Word 2007, everything seems fine. How do I get the minimum spacing in Word 10 Starter to match Word 2007 ?

Email attachment problem

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:26 AM PST

I have Windows 7 installed on a new computer which had Windows 8 on it but I did not want it. I think I have deleted 8 (which was never bought or activated) but now it fails to attach correctly documents to emails. It does send the attachment but when opened it does not have the document contents only the blank word document. It also says there is a fault but does not say what fault. (Hope that makes sense) Suggestions gratefully received. RS

Microsoft Word - need more paper size choices

Microsoft Word - need more paper size choices


need more paper size choices

Posted: 12 Jan 2013 08:07 PM PST

New laptop to create church bulletin.  Installed same Office Home and Student 2007 on the new computer as I had on the old computer.  Emailed a sample of the bulletin to myself to open on the new computer.  First, the fonts are not the same, so adjustments needed to be made - that is only a small problem.  More importantly, I could see the completed page on the screen, then pressed print preview to see the overall look.  The print preview showed 8 1/2 x 14 white area, but a portion of the page did not display (as if the page was only supposed to be 8 1/2 x 12? instead)   I have uninstalled, reinstalled, manually changed the paper size, tried every product update I could find - nothing affected it. Then I thought that maybe the print preview was inaccurate, and if I printed it, it would come out with everything showing just the way I saw it prior to hitting print preview.  It cut the printed page view to the smaller size just the same as the print preview had shown. 

When I check the paper size, there is not a legal size option, as on my other computers.  Is it as simple as needing to find a way to add that to this new computer?  I just don't get why I cannot print it exactly the way that I have prepared it & the way that it looks on my screen.

Trouble Getting Find/Replace to Work Until Changing Forward = True to False

Posted: 12 Jan 2013 03:03 PM PST

I am selecting cells in a table and performing a simple find/replace but it does not work on many of the items unless I keep reselecting the cells and running the procedure several times (runs 6 others). I finally corrected the problem by changing "Forward = True" to False. Why did that fix it? What does that mean?

 

Please review my code below (the first one runs 6 others, plus one of the 6) and let me know if you see any problems. It is very straight-forward. The only difference between the 6 is the target text and the replacement text. Thanks in advance!
