I have been perusing the internet in search of the best way to accomplish this, but have had no luck. If someone here has experience with Office add-ins, I'm not asking for a solution by any means, just assistance with which direction to take. The software I'm working on is primarily in VB.Net and C#; IDE is VS2008 Here's my scenario:
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
I'm writing an application that I want to keep status text always on the taskbar. Some programs like Windows Media player create a toolbar that can be added to the taskbar. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET, and if so how ... ?
I can create a notifyicon, and although it can be used to display notifications I need the text information to always be displayed... I could have used different icons to show a change in status in the notifytray but I really need text to display the status.
I'm wondering how I would go about creating a program that once installed was a windows toolbar. What I'm trying to do is similar to the clipboard, but I want to customize it to my own style. I work in a data entry job and many of the bills we enter have similar information that I'd like to be able to enter without repeated typing. I'd like the toolbar to be docked to the top of the screen, and have several buttons on it. Clicking a button, while having a focus in my data entry program, would paste the button's text (or the full text of what the button caption represented) into the selected field. Alternately, if focus between multiple applications is too difficult to try, then clicking the button would highlight the text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so I could then click back into my data entry program and hit ctrl-v. I dont need help on the program itself...just on how to make it as a windows toolbar, if possible.
I have been learning VB2008 and have been working a little with the toolstrip. While this question isn't really urgent, I've been thinking down the road about images and image libraries that I would like to build and use in my programs. I am thinking I should set up my own library so that all programs I write will have the same look (at least as often as I want them to).
1) What does everyone use to create images? What programs, features, etc. are important? Eg. I have MSPaint and and old version of CorelDraw but have never really used them to high quality stuff.
2) Are people just using the images provided in VB2008 Pro?
3) What should I consider when working with images for use in Windows Forms programming? Currently I am not doing any web work.
I am using VBNET3.5 and Microsoft WORD 2003 to display .bmp file on Word Document and it's working When click on his btnCloseWordtry button to close the WORD Doc it is not working
I'm trying to open a word 2003 document, but I get an error that says 'Application' is not a member of 'WindowsApplicaion1.Form1'. Below is the code that I'm trying to use.
It's not a coding problem. I can't seem to copy my coding in to word without it losing all of the colour. Is there any easy way that I can copy and paste this code in to word without it losing all of the formatting?
How can I save or convert a word 2003 file to PDF format?Is there a way that i can save a doc file to PDF format through vb.net?I try to use : "office.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF" but didn't work.
I'm converting a VB6 app (that works fine) to VB.Net app for work using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I have Word 2003 SP3 on my laptop. I need to open an existing Word document; edit it; and save the changes. Now in VB.Net, when I try to do 'Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word', only Microsoft.Office.Core shows up as a choice. I have Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Libary referenced. I've been searching the internet for hours but can't find any thing that helps. Can anyone here point out what I'm doing wrong? How do I get ...Interop.Word to show up as a choice?
I have created a custom formatting toolbar in Word 2003 (styles for headings, bullets etc) and would like to add the built-in commands for font and font size. I am having difficulty with the VBA code.
I would like to know if it is possible to have dynamic data in word (2003) documents. Let me explain, I will start with what we do now and how I would like to fix or change it.We have approx 35 , we will call them divisions for the time being, and each division has a folder on the shared drive. We have approx 700 ,lets call them customers for the time, and each customer has a folder located in the associated division folder on the shared Drive. (\DriveDivision#1Customer#1...\DriveDivision#32Customer#348 etc etc etc .)There is a MSword2003 document that exists in every Customer Folder that contains data about that customer (including but not limited too.Contacts, Notes, Customer #s etc) We will call this the DeCust.doc file for the time. A lot of the information in these DeCust.doc files can exist in another customers DeCust.doc files such as a contact name and address. One of the problems we run into is that a contact (lets say Smiths Plumbing Service) may send an email to notify of an address change and the person receiving the email will change the contacts address in the DeCust.doc files of the customers that that employee (employee #1) works with but, there are other DeCust.doc files in other customer folders that the address never gets changed in. When a different employee (employee #2) opens a deCust.doc file of a different customer that he/she works with the contact (Smiths Plumbing Service) the address of this deCust.doc: file is wrong (not updated).
I would like to solve this problem. I have already developed a Demo VB/Database application to be used in lieu of the DeCust.doc files but, I have met Way too much resistance in getting people to switch from using individual docs in each customer folder to using a database program. With that being said, I started wondering if there was a way to Link/populate/fill the contact information in these DeCust.Doc files to a central Database or such that when someone changes an address for a contact it is simultaneously changed in all the other DeCust.doc files.
Im having a problem with my program which was coded in VB.net 2005. My pc is windows XP with MS Office 2003. My program works fine for users with 2003 Office but has errors on users with 2000 Office. I was able to downgrade my pc to Office 2000 so my program would reference to MS office 9.0 (2000). This proved to be successful since both 2000 and 2003 users can now print properly. The problem now is my development pc cant create any word.application ...
on this part... Friend mWordObject As Word.Application Dim oWord As New Word.Document mWordObject = CreateObject("Word.Application") '- where error
I have a form to email every day that compiles from a VB script I wrote in MS Word 2003. Each day I have text that I need to place in the Introduction area in the email. I usually do this manually by copying the text then pasting it into the Introduction box since the text is usually just snippets of emails and have no common pattern. I would like to have a way to be able to select my text and copy to the clipboard, then run my script and have the contents of the clipboard pasted into the Introduction by the script so the email can then be sent.
Everything works perfectly if I place static text for the Introduction. I just need a way to be able to place the contents of the clipboard into the Introduction.
I want to drag-and-drop a Word Document 2003/2007 control in my form by .NET Framework. Like we do for PDF in the following screenshot. If you see the highlighted text, it is Adobe PDF Reader. I can show the PDF documents in this control in my form.
The application I support is creating an amalgamted Word document by copying couple of Word documents in one document right after each other. The problem is the format of the some of the fields of the document that gets appended is changed in amalgamated document while the amalgamated document is the copy of AppendDocument (imagine if we have one document to copy in the amalgamated document)
