There aren't any character styles applied to the text I'm dealing with but there DOES appear to be some sort of underlying/invisible character style thing going on. I found no answers as to why any of this is occurring but I DID find that clearing the formatting with...

Greetings, I posted this to Microsoft's forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/fc92045c-c866-4b2f-a8d3-b327d71d8077/searching-fonts-in-vba-in-word) and they're going to "try to internally report this issue." I'm hoping someone here as seen this and/or found a work-around...

Safe to assume you're using Visual Studio? Thanks a bunch, Ken

Happy New Year All, Brand new to Office 2010 and I've found references all over the place for the "ActivateTab" command which acts on an iRibbonUI object, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to assign my iRibbonUI to the ribbon in MS Word. Here Microsoft shows just this: Public...

I'm wondering if anyone can offer some suggestions regarding the best .NET development evironment. We also need to start moving our VB 6 stuff (yeah, I know, its about time!) to .net in a hurry and I'm hoping some you experienced with this can suggest the best product. One thing I REALLY love...

I'm wondering if anyone can offer some suggestions regarding the best ASP.NET development evironments. In addition to the ASP stuff we'll need we also need to start moving our VB 6 stuff (yeah, I know, its about time!) to .net in a hurry and I'm hoping some you experienced with these things can...

We create and maintain the fonts used for some of the series we do, these fonts include obscure or dead languages like Runic. Therefore, from time to time the client will find symbols on papyri that need to be added to the fonts. Having them installed as shortcuts ensures that when our operators...

Hello! I have some VB and VBA experiance but am brand new to VB Script and Windows 7 (OY!). I need to install fonts progmatically and found this simple code on another site: Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Mobilstuff\G_Drive\ttf") Set...

Yeah, a black, hairy box it wold seem. I've added a "Match Whole Cell Only" check box to my dialog but when the macro finishes that option is turned on in Excel's built-in find dialog. So if the user then uses the regular find that option is on. I guess this is kind of along the same lnies as...

Yeah, its actually CorelDRAW X3. I didn't hold much hope of getting an clear answers, was hoping someone had already come across something similar. The media player stand-alone program plays them OK, though I'm not sure what that means. Thanks for the suggestions dilettante.

Hey guys, I initially posted this on the VBA forum but someone suggested I try this one. I have a VBA form that I've been using to help organize my pictures and videos. The form contains the media player control and everything worked well in Vista. When I upgraded the machine from Vista to...

Yeah, I'm assuming it has something to do with the OS but thought the VBA context was what I wanted. Thanks for the link! Ken

I have a VBA form that I've been using to help organize my pictures and videos. The form contains the media player control and everything worked well in Vista. When I upgraded the machine from Vista to Windows 7 the audio playback on videos played through the media player via VBA stopped...

Thanks Skip but that isn't exactally what I was looking for. I basically want to read what's in the "Find what:" field of Excel's find dialog. So, if the user does a regular find in Excel then runs the macro, the macro's dialog will have the same thing they just searched in Excel. Make sense...

I have a macro that searches all the sheets in a workbook for the text entered into a dialog. What I'd like to do is read the text from Excel's find field and put it in my dialog when its first displayed. In Word, for instance, Selection.Find.Text will give me what was last typed into the find...
