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...

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...

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...

Hi and thanks for reading my post, I've just spent half an afternoon looking thru advices on this and nothing works. I have Word XP, I create a commandbar via VBA and then want 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...

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to create a kind of MsgBox with checkboxes and an OK-Cancel buttons in Word (XP, 2002). I don't want to have the checkboxes stored anywhere because they will need to be created based on current circumstances (if that's possible). Say, I have variables x, y, z and...

Hi and thanks for reading my post! I use selection.words.count to find out how many words are in a selection. Then I would like to select them (in case only part of some word is selected initially), but the only way I can figure out is by selecting the first word and then extending the...

Hi and thanks for reading my post! When you display a message in the status bar in Word (StatusBar = "Your message."), the message is shown and as soon as you do something, Word takes control of the status bar and displays whatever information it has to display. I like this approach and I would...

Hi and thanks for reading my post! My situation is during editing/writing text in word. No forms or objects. Just text. I have a series of macros I need to assign to several (alt+key)s. But since the macros are very similar I would like to do something nicer. I would like to have one macro...

Hi and thank you for reading my post, my situation is this: my code can be started at any time during writing/editing of a text document. The code then selects the whole paragraph and applies, say Italic (it is more complicated, but Italic will do for the case of this example). Then it...

Hi and thank you for reading my post, I would like my code to move selected word (e.g. 10 characters to the left, 3 words to the right, etc) but I have no idea how to go about it in some nice way. I will eventually also need to check what is to the left or to the right of such word, so I am...

Hi and thanks for reading my post. This is something I have been working around for years and it's been always very difficult and cumbersome. I just cannot figure out (in vb 6.3) how to find out whether the current (where the insertion point is) paragraph or line is the last in the document. I...

Hi and thanks for reading my post! I have several shapes in one sheet and they have names such as "BigShape 10", "BigShape 11", "MedShape 7", etc. When the shape is selected I use this name to tell what the shape type is and what to do with it. But I have a big problem. I cannot figure out how...
