Learning Writing Macros For Microsoft Office Word
Aug 24, 2011
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 referenced the Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library and am using it to "run" my custom spell check dialog, meaning I am populating and looping through the spelling errors, instead of showing the standard Word dialog. I am trying to figure out how to "ignore" a word or "ignore all" words from appearing as a misspelled word again. Shouldn't there be a ignoredwordlist or something?

I am working on a legacy VB.NET application that uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, with Office 2003 installed on the server. When I publish my site, even though my config file clearly shows v11: The site will crash saying v12 couldn't be found: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Note: I currently have Office 2003 & 2007 installed on my dev machine, also, when looking @ references I am given the option of selecting v11 or v12 (so v11 is def. there). Within a page on the site the page does an import statement for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Is it possible to specify the version at this point, or any way to force it to use v11 without me uninstalling my v12?

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?

So I have this error.
[Code]...
So I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I don't have office loaded on my computer. Now I have another laptop, with office that I loaded this project on, and it works fine. So do I have to load office on this computer, or can I just reference something?

I'm trying to call this code in VB.NET with "option strict on":
Dim application As word.Application = New word.Application
application.WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros(1)
The WordBasic object is dynamic, there is no type library available.Now the compiler will complain, because late binding is not allowed.

It says .Application ambiguous Error6'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word'.
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
oWord = CType(CreateObject("Word.Application"), Word.Application)
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add()

I am currently using the code below within a VB.Net application to find specific text in a Word document. The text is surrounded by symbols represented by the character codes in the .Text statement. The code below is working fine. The issue now is that sometimes the desired text within a document has been marked for deletion and appears as tracked change within the document. I would like to find only the desired text that has NOT been marked for deletion. Does anyone know of a way to determine if the found text is a deletion?

I have been trying to use vb2008 to automatically update CustomDocumentProperties fields that I have set up within a pro-forma document. I can load the Word application and word document without problems.I want to update the CustomDocumentProperties fields with data read from a dB. To do this I am assuming that I need to iterate through the CustomDocumentProperties fields within the word document and when one is "found" that matches the data I wish to merge then assign the dB value to the field.The problem is that I am getting an exception error when I try to reference the document customdocumentproperties
"Error : Unable to cast the COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.CustomProperties'. ...... "
my code looks like;
Dim WordApp As Word._Application
Dim odoc As Word._Document
Dim BContinue As Boolean = True

Will the Microsoft Visual Basic Deluxe Learning Edition Version 5.0 run on Windows XP? This (ancient) product description does not list anything newer than Win 98.I am hoping to relearn BASIC programming and do not wish to spend a lot on current VB versions. I have an opportunity to purchase a used set of discs for a reasonable sum.I'm using a 32 bit version of Win XP Home with sufficient CPU speed, RAM, and HD room.

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.

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:.

Basically I've coded an Excel 2007 project in VB.NET 2010 that allows you to create charts with a fair amount of interactivity. I want the user to be able to save and reopen this workbook and still have that interactivity in any already-created charts, so they don't have to re-create them.
When I create the charts, I use Sheet1.Controls.AddChart(...), which returns a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart with which I can handle events and such. However, when I reopen the file and look through the Sheet1.Controls collection, there are no Chart objects. Accessing the charts through Sheet1.ChartObjects.Chart gives me Interop Charts, when I need the Tools Charts.

I've made Add-in for Word 2007 in VS2005.It worked well with Word 2007 and now it works well with Word 2010 32 bit.However it doesn't work with Word 2010 64 bit. The installation is successful, but the ribbon button doesn't show up.
Do you have any experience with add-ins for Office 64 bit?

I've had a program using Office Web Components operational for about 5 years. I just installed Windows updates to the Vista 64 operating system, and now under Visual Studio express edition with Visual Basic, I am getting over a hundred error messages related to the following:
'Office' is not a member of 'Microsoft'
So, for example, the program has references like
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Owc11.ChCharts
and I now get an error message
[Code]....
how to fix it so these error messages disappear? (Where did Office go, and does it still contain Interop.Owc11, wherever it is?)

I have been using Excel in vb.net for years and no problem but I have a new app and nothing is working. First I can't get Microsoft.office.interop referenced anywhere, which was weird. Then I can't instantiate Excel App.. Dim pExcel_App as New Excel.Application -- this gives me error "New cannot be used on an interface??But I can do this..Dim pExcel_App As New Excel._ExcelApplication -- where did this come from?Then I can't put anything into cells Dim wkbSheet As Excel.Worksheet wkbSheet.Cells(1,1) = "Title" --- this give me an error "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment"
THe really weird thing is that I have an old app open at the same time that is just fine with all this code. AND the intellisense is different for each cell.The good one sets is as a range, the bad one says it is an object???I re-installed the MS PIA's but this didn't help.

Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'serverInput.xls'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.The file is being used by another program.The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

I was bored and started to build a launcher for MS office. It has 5 buttons and each button launches a program, then my launcher closes.Each button has this
Me.Close()
Shell("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12WINWORD.exe")
This works fine, but Word loads so fast that by the time the program has closed, word is in the background and i have to click on the taskbar to get it up. This kind of defeats the object of it. I'm trying to be lazy here!!Also, each button has an image on, but i want you to be able to press a key for each button. Is that possible? Ultimately Laziness?

I have a very simple program that can run and work perfectly.The only trouble I have is when I install it.I double click the setup file that it created and a window is displayed with 2 buttons 'install' and don't 'install'.What I want it to do is run an installation wizard like when you install an offical program like 'Microsoft Office'.Is there any way to do this in 'Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition' if any other 'free' program is required then I would also be happy to use one.Here is a list of a few extra things I would like to do but I'm mainly posting to find out how to make the installation:
> A Desktop Icon is created
> When it is displayed in the all programs it is called 'Email Validator' not 'xxxx' as it is at the moment
> There will be an uninstall button (So the user doesn't have to go into Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
