Thank you both very much for your kind replies! I started with switching the printer from CutePDF to "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" and the code ran quickly. Going back to CutePDF did not bring back the long waiting time though. I will explore more and will note here if I solve this. Best...

Hi, I am trying to change watermark (for all pages), but the change takes several minutes. During this time Word XP (Windows 10) is non-responsive. I first tried the code that macro recorder records and then a code from another forum. The result is the same. Both codes work (in the end) but they...

@strongm (MIS) That was very pretty :-) Thank you! It took me a while to figure out what you are doing there. If anybody needs it, here is a very nice document about using wildcards in search: https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm Best regards :) P

@Andrzejek /By this line of code: /If Mid(xString, (Len(xString)) - 1, 1) = ")" Then /did you mean this: /If Right(xString, 1) = ")" Then ponder :-D and you haven't seen the rest of the code :-D seriously, actually not. the rightmost character was the paragraph mark. also i was moving from the...

Just in case it is interesting to anyone, this is the solution I went with. The code is a mess :-D but it works and that's all I need right now. I needed to turn a txt into a tab separated text that can be imported into excel to create a spreadsheet. A lot of weird text manipulation was needed...

@SkipVought @macropod Thank you very much for your kind replies! They got me started and now I am sucessfully progressing in solving this. I will post my working solution once it's done. @Andrzejek Thank you for your kind reply! re: I read the OP a little different. Just because this post is...

Hi and thanks for reading my post! I have a plain text file. I need to go thru each paragraph and check it for specific character or several characters and then manipulate them or text near them. I just can't figure out the methodology to do that :( Everything I try fails me at some point. My...

and a little tip: you can use button names instead of their numbers e.g. CommandBars("toolbarname").Controls("thebigbutton").Picture = CommandBars("toolbarname").Controls("thebiggerbutton").Picture

i take it back, just solved it for those who need it: CommandBars("toolbarname").Controls(1).Picture = CommandBars("toolbarname").Controls(2).Picture :) Pavel

@combo: could you be so kind and give me more details, please?

@SkipVought Thank you very much again!! @combo Very good idea! Thank you! Best regards! :) Pavel

Thank you very much for your kind answer, SkipVought! It seems to be working. If you or anybody else could kindly guide me a bit further, it would be very nice too. Right now I am trying to get the text from the clipboard into a variable (xText), but Word does not like what i do to it (see...

Hi and thanks for reading my question! I use .CopyFace/.PasteFace in one of my codes and they take advantage of Clipboard, which is a problem for me, because the clipboard may contain data (usualy text). I think I can either choose another method to replace Copy/PasteFace or store the clipboard...

@combo Thank you very much for your time, effort and good will. TonyJollans has just solved it. @TonyJollans A bow. A long bow. Your solution is just beautiful and it works! I toyed around with .Parameter before but not in this way. The usage, the whole idea is just so nice!!! That's why YOU...

Thank you for replying, but I dont understand: "You can pick values from innside the sub in the same way you planned get parameters." my plan is to: "...add a button that calls either a sub or a function with a parameter. That way I want to have a toolbar with several buttons that all call the...
