Suddenly some functions of Word 2007 (in Vista 32) hanged the program, such as Help or Search/Replace. When Word is reopen a message appears: microsoft visual basic. File not found. How can I solve this? I have uninstalled/reinstalled Word twice, but nothing happens.

I've been fighting for weeks now to make a simple music playback program. It would function much like Windows Media Player without the visualisations and playlists. I'm writing this on a Win7 box, but it needs to work on XP and newer.
I say fighting because I'm severely annoyed at how MS has worked some items and it's taken many days to go through everything only to find that it doesn't work.
I started by using WMP in VB Express 2010 and having it play my music. Simple, but not portable. I copied my .exe to a WinXP machine and it blew up. I copied it to a different Win7 machine and it doesn't run (I can double-slick all day, nothing happens,
no log entries, nothing....)
Then I find that there is an issue with the GUID of media player on different computers, and it'll most likely fail to run when you try to use it on other machines than the one the program was built on.
So I gave up on that.
I then figured I'd use DirectX. It's on XP and newer already, and is supposed to be backwards compatibile so if I build my app on Win7 it should still run on XP and such. I did that, and it works fine on the machine I built it with (again). My shuffle works,loop/repeat works, got my own version of a playlist and it all works. I copy that to another Win7 box and it doesn't run at all. It's setup as .NET 3 so I can be sure of compatibilty with WinXP.
For grins, I gutted all the code in my VB app involving calls to Directx and built that. It runs fine on other computers, including my XP test box. So I know the problem revolves around DirectX somehow.[code]...
I 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. I want to read content under heading "Introduction" but not any more content (i.e not content under sub headings of Introduction) I have been trying to do this using styles/style, TableofContent, Paragraphs/Paragraph,Range. Still cannot come up with a effective solution. I am working in VB.NET in VS 2010. I am using the word 2007 object model (office 2007 interop) as [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have developed a WinForm Application with VB.Net (VS2010) having Office 2010 Professional Installed, and it is 64-bit Windows 7 Platform. The program opens a .doc and .rtf format document, and attempts to save it in htm format. I am using following commands:
Dim sFilePath as String = "C:ABCfile.doc"
Dim oApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
Dim oDoc As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
[code]....
All goes fine with development and running on development PC, but when I publish it for offline installation, and deploy it on Client PC having Windows XP with Office 2007, it gives error on oDoc.SaveAs2 line, and program crashes.
My system has Office2007. And i use VB.Net to automate word. Everything works fine. But when tried to save in Word2003 format(.doc), it is not working. But the saved document is readable in Word2007.
Dim WordApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application()
Dim MyDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document

Is there a way, in Microsoft Word 2007, to set up a style that will highlight VB.NET keywords, just like the Visual Studio IDE does?
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?
How to open word 2007 in vb dot net windows application and go to the bookmark?
View 1 RepliesI want to open a number of RTF documents in Word 2007, one at a time, in a VB .NET program. Here is a small representative sample of my code:
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Public Shared WordApp As Object = Nothing
Public Shared WordAppInit As Boolean = False
Public Shared Sub ExecWord()
If Not WordAppInit Then
On Error Resume Next
[Code] .....
Sometimes it hangs on one of the WordApp or WordDoc statements in TestSub1; sometimes it gets all the way through TestSub1 without problems but then hangs in TestSub2. Often it leaves an instance of WinWord running so that I have to kill it in Task Manager or reboot the system.
I am creating new documents from templates and then saving them as docx files.My understanding is that when I go to my saveas method I should be able to have the wdFormatXMLDocument as one of my fileformat options.However I don't.I have to use the numerical equivalent of 12.I have imported the Word 2007 interop and have all the methods at my fingertips there, but can't seem to find this particular option.
View 2 RepliesI need to run some Word 2007 mailmerge macros on Windows 2003 terminal services. This is something we've done fine with Word 2000 but the 2007 macros won't work.I understand the issue being the 'pointers' in the macro to h:temp (h being the home drive for each user on the terminal serve). Word 2007 macros only seem to like c:, is that correct or is there a way to get the 2007 macros to use something other than c:.

VS2005 (VB) SQLServer 2005
I want to insert (store) a Word 2007 document into an SQL database field. I've previously done this with PDF files into an 'image' datatype field without problems. I can add the original document and retrieve it for viewing using Filestream as follows:
To add the file (where 'strPdfFile' is the file and 'myImageBuffer' is added to the field)
Dim myStream As FileStream = New FileStream(strPdfFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
[Code].....
This also works with a Word .doc file (substituting the file extension). With a .docx file however, when taking the ByteArray back out of the database and re-creating the document, there is a problem opening it with Word 2007. An error message says the file is corrupt but offers to recover the file, which it does successfully.
I know docx is OpenXML but in this case I'm not interested in the data structure (as such), I just want to store it. I guess I should be using a different method (Serialization?) but not sure which. I would also like to keep the field DataType (image) if I can.
