I 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:.
how should I proceed -- with a VB UserForm (eg upon clicking successively a Form Button) -- in order to have a [TextBox.Text] contain (in other words: to have a TextBox show), say, one sentence at a time, text obtained from a MS Word document.Then, also, since it is also essential to my ambitions: can I have all the functionalities of my twenty or so existing word macros (triggered each in Word itself by its corresponding shortcut) available for use in said Form's TextBox? Just as an example, I have macros to simply toggle words between singular and plural or that invert the relative positions of two words, while others are 100 lines long and do searches in another Word document containing glossary entries using bookmarks.I searched the Web for hours on end to get a foothold on this issue to no avail until someone finally hinted at "automation". Then a wealth of info surfaced, but so far I only managed to get as far as this:
Dim msword As Object msword = CreateObject("Word.Application") msword.Visible = True Dim wordDoc As Object wordDoc = msword.Documents.Open("C:\tests\mydoc.doc")
and, yes, I added references to Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library and to Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library to my project. I am using Microsoft VB 2010 Express.
What happens is this: When this code runs, first I get a message saying the file is "locked for edition" (or something similar, for mine is a Portuguese version of Word) because it is being use by another user (myself). How should I overcome this hurdle. Then, never minding this initial problem, the dialog box message error offers my the chance of opening a copy as read only. I accept this option and the Word document opens beautifully.But after many trials and only errors, I still don't know how to code so as to get, for example, the first sentence of the document in my TextBox. And, again, will I be able to run my Word macros in the TextBox?
I tried for example:
Selection.MoveRight(Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend) and wordDoc.Selection.MoveRight(Unit:=wdSentence, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend)
but they get blue/and/red underlined (illegal)Are Word VBA declarations per se not valid in VB? I have many more hurdles on the way I wish to such as (1) what tricks could I use so as no to loose original formatting when I finally learn how to get the sentences shown in the TextBox and subsequently paste them back into the Word document and (2) populating a ListBox with the content of a database record.
Please someone help me to find sources to learn writing macros for MS Office Word. I am ended up with getting web pages for only "Recording macro" explained in different ways. While seeing those web pages i got to remember the sentence.
"Sometimes people come up with awful analogies in an effort to describe a concept which is too difficult for a regular person to understand.An infinite number of monkeys hitting at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce all works of Shakespeare.". from infinite monkey theorem. Recording macro is very easy one. Most of the writers ended up with writing this article. Please someone suggest me to learn writing Macros for MS Office Word. I am using Word 2007.
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]
I am trying to use a spreadsheet with VBA macros that I wrote in Excel 2007 in Excel 2010.When the macros run in 2010, I get the error message "Can't find project or library" on functions like UCase and Date.I've set the macro settings to "Enable all macros" and selected "Trust access to the VBA project object model."What do I need to do to get these macros to run in 2010?
I 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
What 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?
I 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.
I'm developing an Outlook 2007 Add In with Visual Studio 2010 (VB).In the project I have a routine that opens, saves and closes Word 2007 documents.While the routine is executing, if I open Word 2007 application I see all the documents opening and closing, making it impossible for me to work in Word 2007.How can I launch the routine using a unique Word 2007 process?
I'm developing a program that handles money, and there is a pre-made excel spreadsheet that I am to be transfering data into specific cells. How can I go about telling my program to write specifc data into specific cell numer in excel? Also, how can I get my program to write into specific areas of a MS Word Template (my program will generate letter with the same template just different names/addresses/valus)?
I try to make a find/replace in a existing word document using vb.net. Here's my code:
[Code]...
When running the code I get a AccessViolationException on the codeline where the Range.Find is called... I use VSTD2008 and Office 2007 on Windows 7. I have also tried running the code on a machine with Office 2003 which was successful. So if anybody could tell me what I have to do differently that I get this working with office 2007 I'd be very glad!
Is possible to create a Printer drop down box like ms word, actually i need the icon of the installed printers on that system, because i have already got the printer collection from "System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters"
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.
I'm using the Word 2007 spellchecker via Interop in a VB.net desktop app. When using the default language (English), it works fine. If I set the language to French via LanguageId, it also works. But if I set it to French (Canadian) (Word.WdLanguageID.wdFrenchCanadian), it doesn't work. There's no error message, it simply runs and says the document contains no errors.
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 have Crystal Reports 2008 installed on my win7 laptop but when i go to insert references from my application settings the CrystalDecisions references are missing and im not able to find them. Note: they do exist in my "c:windowsassembly" folder.
