Word macros - advanced

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:59 PM PDT

I have an 85-page word document with hundreds of bookmarks. I need to be able to pull data from Excel fields and tables into these bookmarks. The tables need to come in as pictures, and the fields are named single-cell ranges whichi correspond to the bookmark names. I have a somewhat-working Excel macro to push these bookmarks in, but nothing to get the tables into Word as a picture.

 

Help...?

Having trouble with finding in Header only

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:52 PM PDT

I am writing a macro to have the user select a bunch of documents (code not shown) via the File dialog and then my code is opening up each document and testing if there is a phrase in the header of the document (just the header though to prevent mismatches).  Just cannot get the "Find" to work on a template with the known phrase in it.  What am I doing wrong.

Note: loFileDialog has already been set up and vars initialized.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

' loop through list of documents and for each, open them, checking for letterhead "marker" and update them if they
' are a letterhead

For Each lcFilePath In loFileDialog.SelectedItems

    ' attempt to open the template
    Set loDocument = Application.Documents.Open(lcFilePath)
   
    With loDocument
   
       ' set a range object to the header in the first section; note that there should always be a "primary" header (with
       ' the "first page" header being optional)
      
        Set loHeaderRange = loDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
   
        With loHeaderRange.Find
         
            ' this stuffed in by macro recorder: clear any formatting before starting
            .ClearFormatting
            .Replacement.ClearFormatting
   
            ' set up the Find box; do not match on case (to prevent admin person frustration); note to future users - you
            ' really need to make sure that the phrase chosen is only in "letterhead" type text and it should only be

you have exceeded the maximum number of pages in Word

I've only seen threads at least a year old on this subject, and there were several grumpy posters when they were added to.

 

My computer started doing this within the last 3 months, and on documents that are relatively small (<200 pages, <1 MB)  My IT guys have no clue.  It happens with both .doc and .docx files.  It seems to happen more often in documents with multiple links in them, which is a huge problem as I often have documents with captions, table of contents, list of figures, list of tables.  Does Word not work if one tries to use the full functionality of the program?  How do I fix this?  I have done a riduculous amount of rework the last few months.  Pretty soon my hand will be going through my monitor.

 

I'm running Office 2007 with Windows 7 Enterprise OS, Service Pack 1,  on a  64 bit system.  This machine was designed to run modelling programs and should be more than sufficient to run Word and has run fine for at least a year.  What do I tell my HelpDesk to do to fix this?   

First page footer in new section

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 11:57 AM PDT

I have a 24-page booklet that Word has divided up into sections and whose first page has no page number. Section 1 ends on page 6, and section 4 begins on page 7. (I don't know where sections 2 and 3 are, but that's not affecting the document). Page 7 has no page number. If I click in the footer, I see "First Page Footer -- Section 4." I don't want a first page footer. Other beginning sections have continuing, consecutive numbering with no first page footers. How do I get page 7 to appear?

Form Field Validation Question

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 10:22 AM PDT

 

Hello,

 

In Microsoft Word Form Fields – Legacy Tools, is there a way to add a validation to a Field after the other options are set?  Meaning if I set the Properties to 8 for Max Length, is there also a way like in Excel to alert the user if less than 8 characters are entered (meaning a disply prompt to alert them to complete the full 8 for Max Length if less entered)?

 

Thanks for you review and would like to perform this without using Macros if possible.

Inability to see a private character in Character Map

Word 2010 won't open a blank document

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:08 AM PDT

How do I highlight long pieces of text to discourage lengthy writing

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:07 AM PDT

Hi, 

I get lots of documents in where authors rabbit on over many pages. I'd like a macro or schema that uses Highlight to color in text:

Yellow: When there are more than four lines in a paragraph

Red: When there are more than four paragraphs between headings

And Black (i.e., make it unreadable, as if the reader has passed out through boredom) if there is more than eight unbroken paragraphs 

Ideally, I'd just press a button and it parses the existing document without me having to do manual labor. 

Can't find anything in the archives. 

Cheers.

Macro shortcuts don't work after code module rename

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 07:49 AM PDT

For years, I've had a few macros in a code module named "NewMacros" in the Normal project. I can't recall now how it got that name, but I decided to rename it to "MyMacros", which I did. Now none of my keyboard shortcuts assigned to those macros work.

I tried executing the macros manually from the Developer tab and they work fine that way.

I tried reassigning the shortcuts. All of the macros are listed, but even a reassign, either to the original shortcut or to a new one, doesn't get them to work from the shortcut.

I also tried restarting Word and rebooting the computer.

If I rename the module back to "NewMacros", then everything works fine. Surely the module doesn't have to have that exact name, does it?

Can anyone help me out of this?

Thanks

Word Heading and table Numbering

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 06:22 AM PDT

Having got an understanding of heading numbering I want to see if the following can be done?

My document has numbered headings for each section. Within certain sections I have a series of tables. Each table has a numbered title and numbered sections.

Currently I used word numbering for the section headings (ToC) and table descriptions, that works fine. However I manually enter all the numbered titles and entries that appear in the body of the table.

Can I auto number these lines as well? One concern is that the heading maybe number 5, the first table under this heading is table 1 and line entries in the actual table would be 1.1, 1.2 etc.

Reason is I may need to add another table earlier on in the document which means a lot of manual updating!

Removing highlighting

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 05:02 AM PDT

Hi, 
       There's a problem when I use Word and OneNote. If I highlight text in OneNote and transfer it to Word, the highlighting can't be removed. The same thing happens when I copy highlighted text from somewhere on the internet. How do I remove the unnecessary highlighting in Word? Please help.

Removing highlighting

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 04:57 AM PDT

Hi, 
   I have a problem when I shift text from OneNote to Word. If I've highlighted a paragraph on OneNote and then copy it to Word, the highlighting still remains. This even happens when I copy text from a website that has highlighted words. For this reason, I have to remove the highlighting in the OneNote document itself and then shift content to Word. Is there any feature in Word which can allow me to remove all highlighting which is otherwise not removable?
  Thank you,

Office 2013 custom template as default

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:48 AM PDT

Please can anybody tell me how I can set my custon templates to default in the new page?

Frankly I don't care much about online or any other templates. I use mine for my bussiness and I don't like it that I have to change to personal on the tab everytime I want to open a new document.

I think it is very annoying for the users that Microsoft doesn't set that as the standard option.

My excuses for my poor english...

Legal Pleading Wizard captions

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 10:54 PM PDT

I wondered if it was possible to add custom caption boxes to the Legal Pleading Wizard for Microsoft Word 2003?  As it stands, the wizard offers five choices, including no caption at all, and I want special captions that I make available when I use it.  The four captions it offers have to be stored somewhere!  I know that newer versions of Word have quick parts, templates and other methods for such creation, but I simply want to use this wizard interface to make my legal templates.  Any suggestions?  Thank you! :)

Word 2010 error using macro Selection.Sort: Run-time error '9125': String Passed can't be parsed

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 09:36 PM PDT

Using Selection.Sort within a Word 2010 macro where FieldNumber is "Field 2" or greater, an error is generated.

 

The error generated is:

Run-time error '9125': String Passed can't be parsed

 

This line works fine:

Selection.Sort ExcludeHeader:=False, FieldNumber:="Field 1", SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending, Separator:="=", SortColumn:=False, CaseSensitive:=False, LanguageID:=wdEnglishUS, SubFieldNumber:="Paragraphs"

 

But this line generates an error (only difference is "Field 1" was changed to "Field 2":

Selection.Sort ExcludeHeader:=False, FieldNumber:="Field 2", SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending, Separator:="=", SortColumn:=False, CaseSensitive:=False, LanguageID:=wdEnglishUS, SubFieldNumber:="Paragraphs"

 

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231631) indicates it was a problem in WD2000, but I would expect this was addressed since "Paragraph" and "Field 1" works.

 

Curious if MS ever fixed this in future versions.

Thank you.

Automatic capitalization after opening quotation marks

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:59 PM PDT

I'm trying to write character dialogue in Word 2007 (Office edition).

What I get: (previous sentence)
                 "so," he said, "why are you here?"
                 (next sentence)

What I want: (previous sentence)
                   "So," he said, "why are you here?"
                   (next sentence)

In other words, I'd like Word to automatically capitalize the first word in the sentence after a hard carriage return and after opening double-quote marks.

I've already got Autocorrect capitalizing the first word in sentences, but it seems as if the Autocorrect sees the " as the first word and doesn't see the actual word after them as being the 'first word'.

Is there any way to set this up automatically?

Email association problems.

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:21 PM PDT

Email association problems.

 

When I try and send something to Mail Recipient, the following message comes up, can someone please talk me through the steps to associate my Mail, or yahoo mail (prefer yahoo mail) on windows 8 please?

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

 

I have been into the default programs control panel and tried to do it myself but I must be missing a step to allow this to happen. Thanks in advance.

Problem opening a document in desktop Office from Office Web Apps

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 04:10 PM PDT

Hi,

 

Using SharePoint Online I can do the following:

  1. Open a document directly into desktop Office
  2. Open a document directly into Office Web Apps to view and edit

But I cannot click the "Open in Word" option in Office Web Apps and then open the document in desktop Office. Instead we get the message "Sorry but to open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft word and a browser that supports opening files directly from web apps" and then it tries to use Office on Demand.

 

We're running Office 2013 on the desktops, using IE10 (32 bit) and Windows 7 (32 bit) operating systems.

 

For some reason when trying to open from OWA to the desktop version of Office OWA thinks Office is not installed on the computer.

 

Any ideas how we can fix this?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

How can I format a table such that it does not break the formatting of my paragraphs?

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 03:55 PM PDT

Hello,
I am trying to insert a picture and its caption within a table in a document. I can format the table so it wraps the text and stays put at the top of the page. The issue is that it seems to break up the paragraph formatting. If I insert it at the beginning of a line mid-paragraph, it wants to break apart the paragraph at that line. However, if I add on to a paragraph before where the table is positioned, the table stays put but the broken paragraph does not re-form. If I try to delete the space and re-form the paragraph, the table is deleted as well.

Is there any way to insert the table so it doesn't break up the paragraph? If not, is there an alternate way to insert a picture with its caption?

Thanks!

Help Merging Charts and Graphs from Excel into Word

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 10:45 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm a 6th grade teacher in a low-income school district, and in an effort to keep our parents informed of their child's progress in reading, we've decided to send home monthly reading progress trackers that contain all of the most recent data on student reading.  We need this report to be highly visual, since most of our parents do not speak or read English well.  Thus, we created a highly visual template, but because our school teaches over 400 students, we need a way to merge the template with our database of students' reading data (in Excel), so that we won't have to make a new report for each student.

I have recently learned the basics of mail merge, and I've even gotten the table to work as well, but I am still unable to merge charts or bar graphs generated in Excel.  I tried to download Doug Robins's mail merge program, but I couldn't seem to find the proper location in which to save the file (my folder network didn't have a "Startup" folder), so I'm not seeing the additional ribbon to allow me to merge a chart.

If Mr. Robins or anyone else skilled in these sort of merges could take a look at my templates on my dropbox folder (see link below) and offer any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Again, this could really help our students and their families to prioritize literacy, and our first trackers are supposed to be sent home in 6 weeks, so time is of the essence!

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ebnlyn3cq769qm1/4zw5X8YfLZ

In terms of specific questions, here are a few:

1) Is there any way to format the cells of the table created in Microsoft Word, such that I could create conditional formatting to color the cells?

2) How can I have numbers in the table only go to one decimal place? I can't seem to format the cells in the Word table in the same way I could in Excel.

3) Is it possible to add code to place the reading percentile text box in the proper location on the 2nd page?

4) Is there any hope to adding a graph similar to the first line graph in the template generated only from the reading data?

N.B. All of the student data is made up, and I could add, remove, or modify any field in the Excel spreadsheet.  What I currently have is just a template that I created to start messing around with this project.

Thanks,

Bibliography in Word 2007

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 10:09 AM PDT

As a simple test I created two citations and filled in the sources at that time.  I subsequently modified the sources via Source Manager and chose 'Sort by Tag'.  There are two sources in the master list and current list, and these lists are identical.  The two sources are sorted by tag, and the tag appears first, followed by a semicolon.  The first source is
ObitJo; Obituary: John Huley...
and the second one is
ObitMa; Obituary: Marguerite M. Fischer...
When I ask Word to create a bibliography in my document, the two entries are not sorted properly.  The two entries in the bibliography are as follows:
1. Obituary: Marguerite M. Fischer...
2. Obituary: John Huley
So it appears that the sort by tag didn't work.  Any idea how to fix this problem?  I tried destroying the bibliography and creating it again, but I got the same result.

Real-Time Collaboration - Word Web App

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:25 AM PDT

MS announced real-time co-authoring in their Garage Series for Office 365: First look at new real-time co-authoring for Office Web Apps across Windows, iOS and Android episode - http://blogs.office.com/b/office365tech/archive/2013/06/19/the-garage-series-for-office-365-first-look-at-new-real-time-co-authoring-for-office-web-apps-across-windows-ios-and-android.aspx

on June 19.

 

Since then, I have noticed web app versions of Excel and PowerPoint have synchronous, real-time collaboration, whereas Word still does not.

 

I am training several hundred teachers in our school district and must decide between Google Docs or MS Web Apps.  I would rather go with MS, but not giving us (customers) firm dates as to when software will be updated or released is not very helpful.  You would think with Google already years ahead with online office collaboration and scooping up MS Office business left and right that this would be a priority.

CTRL+F11

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 04:29 AM PDT

I use Office 2003 Professional Edition (version USA) with Vista  integral edition. I created a shortcut in Word CTRL+Shift+F11 for the symbol Double Closing Quote. It worked without problem for the past ten years


Since three days using F11 with or without  Shift gives an extremely disturbing result : the graphic card is suppressed, it is nearly impossible to use the keyboard. 

In order to get the graphic card work again I must use the restore command. But even this is difficult to get at, since F8 when the computer is re-started works only once out of three tries. Does anyone has the answer ?

[discuss] bug found in OpenOffice Calc

Hello Leo,

Yes, unfortunately, if your document is in od*-format, it will not be
removed. (.doc documents made with OOo will be removed as well.) This
does not mean, that in this case, the attachment ist allowed. There are
still so many places, where there is no broadband internet (even I have
broadband internet just for one year now, and I'm in Germany!). Or
people have to pay per volume, not time, and in such a case, sending
(huge) attachments can cost quite a bit of money.

So, in my opinion, it is better to just send plain text messages and
describe there, what problem you have.

Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacOffice group (not your fault, one of the
web interfaces is *very* badly designed). You might get an answer from
the people here who use both Windows and Mac, but you should try asking
your question on the general newsgroups. Start here:

Sometimes procrastinating helps. Microsoft released a new installer today.

MacBu released a new installer for the Office 2008 Update 12.0.1 today. This
is not new Office bits to be installed, but the installer itself that was
changed. This change was a result of problems experienced by some Office
2008 users having a failed update to 12.0.1. If you are one of the
unfortunate few that had problems, this patch is for you. If you were able
to successfully update to 12.0.1 then you do not need this patch.

Continue reading for steps to properly update Office 2008 to version 12.0.1.

What kind of disks? Disks with Office data on them? Office install disks?
Since you posted in a newsgroup for Mac Office, that's why I'm asking. If
your iMac won't read any disks - a variety of CD/DVDs - this has nothing to
do with Mac Office and everything to do with a broken optical drive.
Contact Apple support for help with that.

Have you tried repairing disk permissions?
Have you udated to Office 12.0.1?
Are you running OS X 10.5 or 10.5.2?

It would help to know specifically *what* reasons are given in the error
messages - "various" tells us absolutely nothing. In fact, the content
you're omitting is the most important part.

Office 2004 - More Fill Color (Custom Colors) option does not work

Posted: 19 Mar 2008 10:25 PM PDT

Hi CyberTaz,

Well, I was thinking along that lines to use Pacifist and extract
CommonCocoalPanels.bundle from the OS X install. It turns out neither the
combo update 10.5.2 not update 10.5.1 had the relevant bundle present in
CoreServices of /System/Library. So I thought that must not have been
updated, went back to my original Leopard disc, extracted the relevant bundle
with pacifist, installed and solved the problem.
For anyone who had encountered this problem (for eg, this guy here

Here are the steps,
1)Extract, CommonCocoaPanels.bundle from /System/Library/CoreServices of
your leopard install disc using Pacifist to your desktop
2)Go to /System/Library/CoreServices and make a copy of
CommonCocoalPanels.bundle somewhere and then delete it (you will be asked for
administrative privileges)
3) Drag the new one from desktop to the CoreServices directory
4) Fire up Terminal and repair permissions as :
sudo -s
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Coreservices/CommonCocoaPanels.bundle
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Coreservices/CommonCocoaPanels.bundle
5) and finally repair full permission either in the terminal itself or from
disk utility
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

Enjoy the color palette with all its colorful glory!

CyberTaz, thanks for your advice. your response prodded me more towards what
I was planning and it helped solved a month long problem in finding a
solution.

Hey Fred--

Did you manually copy and paste the replies from CyberTaz and June Low,
and repost them in this thread? Or did the forum go crazy and do that?

This is your original question:

I'm trying to figure out whether you created the replies in this thread,
as I see a message from Bob Jones (CyberTaz) that was posted by Fred.
