Set The Default Print Page Size For Microsoft Word
May 5, 2012
Im working with vb.net and microsoft word using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and everything is fine. My only problem is I cant find a way to change the default page size printing setting from "letter" to "A4".
This code was doing the job for Crystal reports but isnt doing it for Word
I am able to insert a textbox into a Word document using the below code:
Dim opProcedures As Word.Shape opProcedures = oDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 456.75, 24.75) opProcedures.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Operational Procedures"
This adds a textbox to the first page of the document however even when I change the first (top) parameter I am unable to move the textbox onto the second page (only lower down onto the 1st page, any greater values than the height of the first page an it disappears).
How can I get the textbox to appear on the 2nd page of the document?
I'm very very very new to VB.Net and am doing a class project. I want the user to simply clicka print button and get a printout of an existing Word document. Is this possible and if so, can someone suggest the code?
I have an asp image within my "default.aspx" page.I set cookies on my masterpage vb file and depending on the cookie set, I want to show or hide this image.
I am currently using the following code to print a word document[code]...
However I have found it to be buggy with our shared printers, this bug only happens when printing using word. It works fine when doing print automation with PDFs(Adobe Reader) etc.
What I am looking for is some code in vb.net which will allow me print this documents and I have to be about to specify the printer it uses.
How do I continue to print a list onto another page once the bottom of the page is reached?
Dim PrintFont As New Font("Arial", 14) Dim HeadingFont As New Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Bold) Dim LineHeightSingle As Single = PrintFont.GetHeight + 2
I have document, with numerous pages, that will populate at key locations using a UserForm and bookmarks. One of the pages in the document may need to be repeated. In other words, one of the pages may need to be populated more than once (and inserted successively in the document).
The troublesome page has bookmarks that will need to be repopulated with different information for every new instance within that same document.
I am considering making a table with the verbage in the "Troublesome Document" located in a Table. When I need to repopulate a new instance of that page, I think I should:
1. populate the document 2. copy and paste the wording in a new page 3. insert the new page (without bookmarks yet maintaining formatting) before the "Trouble Document" 4. repeat steps 1-3 for every necessary instance 5. delete the "Trouble Document" with the Table
I know how to print a document from a file and a picture(Graphic) from a file but how do I print a current page of a Windows form I have developed. I.E. from my bank I get my statment by printing the page from a Print Page button. I tried codes I know but in my program it prints a blank Page.
I have an RTB. Actually it is a RichTextBoxPrintCtrl as per KB 146022 but I don't think that matters.
I am printing the contents of the RTB on a label. I have determined the appropriate margin settings to cause the contents of the RTB to print on the appropriate label (there are 4 per sheet). That all works.
But I want what the user sees on the screen as he types to match what prints. So if he types three lines of data he gets three lines on the label. Also, if scroll bars appear, that is a clue that he have filled up one label. By trial and error I got the size of the RTB just right using the default font (MS Sans Seriff 8.25).
But when I or the user changes font size, the on screen display no longer matches the printed label. The label prints properly but it is not an exact representation of what is on the screen.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the screen representation of the label is always correct even when the font changes.
I have a PrintForm component on my form and I am trying to send the currently active tab page to the print form and then send it to the appropriate dialog. However, I keep getting the document contains no images. Any ideas how I pass the tab page to the print form component?
I am developing a Door Access Control System which talks the hardware's firmware via TCP/IP. The first version was a success and done using VB6 Winsock Control 6.0. Currently, I am doing the second version in VB.NET and the pain is with the socket. Winsock Control 6.0 is such a blessing (finally admitted) Does anyone know the default encoding of Winsock Control 6.0 in VB6 so that I can set it exactly to the encoding for socket in VB.NET. ANSI (VB.NET) seems to work (but not fully tested with the hardware), but is there something more specific?
I am an old Quick Badic Programmer - I was pretty good. VB 2010, and the .NET framework, are NOT improvements! Moving on, all articles I read about printing are focused on VB 6, and little or nothing about VB 2010 or .NET I don't care about the power pack, since it isn't any better than .NET - so how about a ground-up tutorial on how to print to the printer for someone who is being driven crazy by Microsoft's total F-UP of BASIC.
I am totally new to Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 and the programming language itself. how to make a browser. The browser works in debug mode, and I clicked build under build at the top. At the bottom it says build succeeded, but I have no idea where the program was actually saved to. I have Windows XP SP3.
I have developed a VB.Net application to automate Word and I am noticing some issues when I attempt to close a document and subsequently Word. So I have decided to do the following - - ->
I check to see if Word is running on the local PC. If it is not, then I instaniate Word, execute code, close the document and quit Word. If Word is already running I want to be able to use that instance of Word, execute code, close out the active document and NOT close Word. I have retrieved the Process ID for Word running on the local PC but am not sure how I can use Word's properties and methods on an existing instance.
I'm developing a small application which should eventually display a report in Microsoft Word. The only problem is, I can't get the GridView to export to MWord.
Here's the scenario: A customers items are entered into the table (Items), the customer almost always has more than one item. The report needs to be displayed to the specific customers data, so if I chose John Doe as my customer, the report would contain a table with his items and all other data specific to John.
What would be an efficient way of exporting this gridview, and how would the sql query tie in with that? (I'm still quite new to Visual Basic) and a side question: I need to total the cost of all the items concerning the one customer, and have that value passed to a textbox. How would I go about doing this?
How can I automatically open a Microsoft Word Document (or powerpoint/onenote) and paste the contents of the clipboard? Perhaps openoffice or something too.
Basically so I just press a button on the form, and word opens and pastes the clipboard content.
I have written a program in VB that sends faxes to my customers. When I test it, the fax machine prints the output on legal paper and I have no idea why. I have checked everything that I can find and I don't see anything in the API to set the paper size. I am setting the body to a PDF file. When I print the PDF file locally, it prints just fine. I have tried other files, output from other programs (i.e. word) and the end result is always the same.
I'm a new user of Visual Studio 2008. While I am a fan of Tabbed Browsing, I am in no way a fan of Tabbed Programming, so I have my "Window Layout" set to "Multiple Documents".However, I have been horrified to find that the default window size for any form or module opened is about 9/10ths of the work space. When I resize the window and close it, it opens back up again to 9/10ths of the work space. This is going to very seriously impact my work flow.There has to be some kind of mistake. I've looked for a way to set the default window size, but to no avail. I've searched the web for 3rd party plugins that would let me have more control over the IDE, but also to no avail.Is there some way to set the default window size in Visual Studio 2008? It would seem remarkably amateurish to not provide this extremely basic functionality.
I want to add Microsoft Word Object Library to my toolbox from the COM component list. However although I have MS word 2007 installed in my computer this component is not available or not visible.
