now i need to print the Word Document with Printer Default Font(Draft 17.5 CPI) in Dot Matricx Printer
I am trying to create a simple Word doc that when the user presses the button it takes the information in the boxes and tosses it into a template style paragraph. But my issue is that I have two combo list boxes as seen in the picture. I want to have two values in the drop down list as seen in the labels next to them but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in Word 2007. In Visual Studio this is much easier but I am work and need to snap this out for the folks at work. Is there an option that I can choose in the properties where I type in the values for each drop down or do I have to add them in at run time?

View 4 RepliesI have been trying to figure out how to read paragraph content which exists a heading. The heading itself is part of the table of contents. The heading will have a particular style (say Heading 1). For example: "Introduction" is a entry in Table of content with style Heading 1.

Isn't there a way to send an MS Word doc to a printer in VB.net?

i need to print word document with Dot net matrix printer
so the font should be default printer font
how to done this
I have an application written in VB.net for batch print jobs. As part of the application, the user selects two printer trays to use to print the batch to (one plain paper the other coloured for coversheets and batch seperators) I had this working until we upgraded our systems from Windows XP with Office 2000 to Windows 7 and Office 2010. Now the selected trays are not being recognised and an error is thrown.
I've looked at similar posts on here and other forums but they seam to concentrate on using some word default trays (wdPrinterDefaultBin etc) however I need to be able to let the user pick whatever tray they wish to use. I don't want to have to go through every printer in the building and map the trays to the word values either as I don't want to rewrite the app everytime we've a new printer.
Here is the code:
sub PopulatePrinterTray (byref Printer as String)
'gets printer trays for selected printer and then populates some comboboxes
Dim pkSource As Printing.PaperSource
Dim printDoc As New Printing.PrintDocument

View 4 RepliesWhat would be the best approach for creating MS Word 2007 documents with vb.net that contains signature lines? I am currently in the planning phase of a project and I'm trying to gather some info. The idea would be to upgrade this program we have already developed(using vb.net) to generate .docx files that contain signature lines that are created progmatically. The signatures would be added later by the user through a workflow in SharePoint I just need to create the document with the lines. I have seen different tutorials on creating word docs, but not sure which method would be the best for what I'm doing. Where should I start looking?
Also, there doesnt seem to be too many tutorials on adding signatures line through code, more specifically how to automate the signature line setup. e.g. Who should sign, signers name, signers email address. How do I set these paramaters through code?
I am maintaining a program that automatically does a mail merge based on a client list. Using earlier versions of Microsoft Word, such as 2003, I did not have any trouble simply using the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument() function, which takes a MAILING LABEL ID as its first parameter.The particular ID I'm now having trouble with in Word 2007 is "5160" which is an Avery label that should print three labels across the page (and it did in Word 2003). In Word 2007, it now prints 4 labels across.
From the research I've already done, apparently this is because the number of label templates has greatly expanded since the release of Word 2003, and now Word 2007 has a new set of label IDs that can be used with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function. In the case of the Avery 5160 label, its new ID to be used for Word 2007 with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function is "1359804671" and I have NO IDEA how that was calculated or where it was found.
I can't find the list of IDs to be used with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function for Word 2007 anywhere. I read in a Microsoft Developer's blog post that you can calculate the new ID by using the following formula:
Label ID = (vendor id << 24) | product id
Unfortunately, that doesn't make any mathematical sense to me as I don't know what "<<" and "|" are supposed to represent in mathematical terms. Can anyone tell me where to find or how to calculate (based on the vendor id and product id) the mailing label ID I need to use with the MailingLabel.CreateNewDocumentByID() function?

Does anyone know why should I open a document in Word 2007 (either via VB6 or VB.NET) and even be open read-only and the Ribbon disabled?
Do not just be read-only, because the citizen can click the Office button or Save and "Save As".
My objective: Set the printer to use without changing the default in Word under the control of vb.net express 08. Word version is 2000
I have it working, but� Through a lot of trying, I discovered that the WordBasic line would work. Further exploration revealed the �with dialogs(13)� will work. In a Word macro it would be Dialogs(wdFilePrintSetup) or Dialogs(97)
This is where it gets interesting. While Word.WdWordDialog.wdDialogFilePrintSetup equals to 97 it doesn�t activate the correct dialog. After considerable trying, I found that index 13 does yield the correct dialog box.
