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

I have the following code to open a web page:
Dim IE
Set IE = CreateObject("internetexplorer .application")
mySTR = "[link]"
IE.Navigate mySTR
The code works if I run it from vba - it opens the page on top of Word. But
if I assign it to a QAT or Ribbon button, it opens the page but leaves it

Does the following make any difference?

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 All,
I have a macro that seeks out a particular string of text in a document and
then moves down one line and selects the remaining text nin the document and
writes it to a variable and then uses it subsequently in the message section
of an email.
Recently this method has been failing because the text is not being

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?

da...@discussions.microsoft.com (Dave C) — Wed, 25 Nov. 2009 14:11:03 UT

I have a couple of userforms that I want to open by providing a custom
toolbar. I guess I would do this by placing macros on the toolbar but can
someone advise how I would reference the userforms within the macro?
Thanks .. Dave

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
protected form, the macro adds formfields in to the new row, one of which is
a calculation field.
This calcuation field simply multiplies the previous two fields contents

Hi Phil,
Your code selects the text after a line containing "Issued at" until the end
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
