Hi
along these same lines - do you know if it is possible to use VBA to add to an exisiting header? I do have a template with the header defined but each time the template is used I want it to automatically addd the project name to the existing header.
I was just going to use a message box on open "what is the name of your project". Then I want the response to be added to the header of the document.

Open web page from Word 2007

Dim IE
Set IE = CreateObject("internetexplorer .application")

If the Issued at is in a separate paragraph, then you could use
Dim selrange As Range
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
If Selection.Find.Execute(FindTex t:="Issued at") Then
Set selrange = Selection.Range
selrange.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End
selrange.Start = selrange.Paragraphs(2).Range.S tart

Doug
Thanks for the response. I am somewhat a novice in efficient coding.
How can I get around the limit. Basically I am looking at a limit of 75 pages.
Macro 1 = view page 2, macro 2 = view page 2 and so forth until I reach page
75.
If you can assist, would appreciate any help.
Again thanks for the help.

Hi Dave,
One way would be to created a sub within the document or a new module that
simply loads the userform, e.g.:
Public Sub ShowUserForm1
Userform1.Show
End Sub
and then link the button to this sub, capice?

I have a couple of userforms that I want to open by providing a custom

someone advise how I would reference the userforms within the macro?

Hi everyone.
I have hit a problem with a protected form I'm working with.
I have a macro that allows users to add a new row to a table within the

of a document and copies it to the clipboard. It might be that you have
selected formatted text in Word and didn't clear the formatting. Your code
won't find the search string on such a computer. For this reason, calls to
