Executing a macro (for WORD)

Hi everyone,
I created a macro in Word.
Now I am calling it successfuly from ABAP using i_oi_document_proxy->execute_macro.
Is there a way to pass a parameter from ABAP to the macro ?
Thanks in advance.

  • WRITE MACRO FOR WORD IN ORACLE FORMS 6I

    Dear All
    I want to know the coding to write a macro for word document to print , when i open the word document using ole2. I am able to open word, insert the header and footer but i want to print the document also. Since I dont want to write the macro in word file because i have lot of files , so whenever the user run the form i just want to take print . Is there any way.
    V.S

    V.S.,
    I suggest you open a Word document and record a macro that prints a document. Then edit the macro and you will see all of the commands that were issued to print the document. Then try to emulate these commands in your OLE calls from Forms.
    I tried searching the internet for a comprehensive list of OLE commands, but never found anything. Through trial and error, I discovered if I open the application and recorded a macro to perform that action I want (in this case - printing a Word document) - I could edit the macro and see the commands used by the application to perform the action. Then base your Form OLE code on the macro. ;-)
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • List Randomizer Macro for Word 2010

    Way back with Word '97 one of my students wrote a convenient macro for randomizing lists of words.
    Briefly, the list was highlighted and the Macro button (or keystrokes) pushed - and the list was nicely randomized.
    I do not have this Macro anymore and need a similar one for Office 2010 32 bit (MS Word only).
    Note: I am well aware of online randomizers as well as using Excel to randomize a list. However, I wish to eliminate time/energy wasted steps and randomize word lists within Word 2010 itself.
    Any suggestions?

    One approach is:
    Sub Demo()
    Dim Rng As Range, i As Long
    Dim StrIn As String, StrOut As String, StrTmp As String
    Randomize Timer
    Set Rng = Selection.Range
    StrIn = Rng.Text
    StrIn = Trim(StrIn) & " "
    While UBound(Split(StrIn, " ")) > 0
      i = UBound(Split(StrIn, " "))
      StrTmp = Split(StrIn, " ")(Rnd(i)) & " "
      StrOut = StrOut & StrTmp
      StrIn = Replace(StrIn, StrTmp, "")
    Wend
    StrOut = Trim(Trim(StrOut) & " " & StrIn)
    Rng.Text = StrOut
    Rng.Select
    End Sub
    The above assumes a list separated by spaces. For lists separated by paragraph breaks or tabs, insert:
    StrIn = Replace(StrIn, vbCr, " ")
    or:
    StrIn = Replace(StrIn, vbTab, " ")
    before:
    StrIn = Trim(StrIn) & " "
    and insert a corresponding:
    StrOut = Replace(StrOut, " ", vbCr)
    or:
    StrIn = Replace(StrOut, " ", vbTab)
    before:
    Rng.Text = StrOut

  • Macros for Word

    Hi,
    I need to split the number of bits in Word. For example, 1000000 => 1 000 000, 00. I don't found standart feature. But i found this code:     
     Dim SelectionStart As Long
      Dim SelectionEnd As Long
      SelectionStart = Selection.Start
      SelectionEnd = Selection.End
      Selection.EndKey wdStory, wdMove

        .MatchWildcards = True
        .Forward = False
        While .Execute
          If Not .Parent.Previous Is Nothing Then
            If .Parent.Previous.Text <> "," Then
              .Parent.Text = FormatNumber(CDbl(.Parent.Text), 2, GroupDigits:=vbTrue)
              Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart

          Selection.SetRange SelectionStart, SelectionEnd
    It's not bad. And I also want to add to this code at the bottom: "ActiveDocument.SaveAs" - no problem.
    Then, i enter my number, click on the button, which contain this code, number has transformed. SaveDialog has also opend, then click "save" and have  "Run-time error: 4198. Command error".Then click "Debug", file closed
    and appear on my Desktop. 
    Can you tell me,  what is cuase of this problem, how to hide this Error???
    Thank you for reply :)

    The following works fine for me:
    Sub Demo()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim StrPath As String
    StrPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & "\Documents\"
    With ActiveDocument
      With .Range

  • How can I edit an Automator action for Word?

    I'm running Word 2008 on a Macbook Pro, Mac OS 10.5.
    Word comes with a selection of Automator actions, including one to find and replace text in Word. I often want to convert standard numerals to old-style numerals, which are part of the extended glyphs set in fonts I use. Automator will allow me to set up ten find/replace actions (for the numbers 0-9) that successfully replace all the numerals with old-style numerals. But it only does it for the main body of the document, not for the footnotes. I need to be able to do it for all the footnotes.
    I thought I might find a workaround by adding an AppleScript to my workflow, which would shift the focus in Word to the footnotes and rerun the find/replace actions. I mapped the menu item View/Footnotes to the keystroke command-) and inserted this AppleScript into the Automator workflow:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Microsoft Word"
    keystroke ")" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    But the find/replace actions simply repeat what they'd done before, converting the numerals in the main body but not in the footnotes. I then thought that perhaps I should have an AppleScript to do the find/replace itself, once the footnotes have been selected, so I created the following (command-H accesses the find/replace dialog box in Word 2008):
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Microsoft Word"
    keystroke "H" using command down
    keystroke "1"
    keystroke tab
    keystroke ""
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    The character after the fourth keystroke command is the glyph for old-style numeral 1. For some reason Word reinterprets this as the letter a. So using AppleScript I can only replace the numerals 1-9 with the letters a-i.
    I'm pretty hopeless at even this very basic level of programming, but I presume that there's something in the Automator action 'Find and replace in Word' that specifically tells it not to look anywhere but the footnotes. I also presume it's possible to insert a command to tell it to operate on the footnotes (and headers and footers: everywhere!) too.
    Does anyone know a way to edit an Automator action? I'm willing to experiment and fiddle with one until I find a way that works, if nobody knows the exact changes that I'd need to make, but I just don't know how to edit an Automator action in the first place. A bit of googling suggests that I could do it in XCode, and that that is bundled with my Mac, but I don't have it.
    This all used to work when Office used to allow VBA (and I was using a horrible Windoze machine). Maybe someone would prefer just to find a way of creating a solution our of the old code, so here's one part of what I used (to change the number 1):
    For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
    With aStory.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    With .Replacement
    .ClearFormatting
    End With
    .Execute FindText:="1", ReplaceWith:=ChrW(63281), _
    Format:=True, MatchCase:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
    Next aStory
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks to all three contributors for their generous help so far. Mac people are lovely.
    BDAqua's suggestion wouldn't work, I think, because copying footnote text into another application and then back into Word would lose all the associations between footnote references in the body and the footnotes themselves. I wish I could do what Klaus1 says, but Word 2008 won't allow the creation of Macros any more. They've shut off support for their creation. Nice MS. red_menace's suggestion seems very plausible and I'll look into a way of mapping the old style numerals to specific keystrokes. That might do it.
    Reflecting on what you all said, I looked again through Word's help menus and eventually got pointed towards this page of 'help': <http://tinyurl.com/6398l6>. This is completely impenetrable for me, though it does compare a VBA script for Word 2004 to an AppleScript. This encourages me to hope that it should be possible to translate my original VBA script (part of which I included in my first message) into AppleScript, though I don't know how to do it because I don't really understand the language in the first place (the VBA script was put together by someone else).

  • Detecting file type in vba for word

    I have directories full of files on a Mac.  Most of these files are Doc files, some Txt files and some other types. Unfortunately the files don't have file extensions (not hidden but actually no file extensions).  On a PC in a macro I need to open
    these  doc files (from the Mac) and do some manipulations on the files and then save them.  I have a macro which works as long as all the files are Doc files so if I can detect the file type in my macro I can skip the non-Doc files and process only
    the Doc files.
    Is there a way in a vba for word macro to detect a file type other than by the file extension?  Or if that can't be done can I put error trapping on my Open statement that will catch an attempt to Open a non-Doc type file?
    Thanks
    Harry Spier

    If your code is running on Windows and you are in a position to install software on it, you
    may be able to get reasonably reliable detection using dsofile.dll, which you can get here:
    I really do not know whether it will work with files stored or create on Mac (and in any case, if these are old Mac .doc files, you may find that Windows Word cannot open them anyway.
    You need to
     - register the dll via regsvr32
     - in VBE, use Tools->References... to make a reference to"DSO OLE Document Properties Reader 2.1"
     - use code such as the sample below. 
    Option Explicit
    Function IsWordDoc(FullName As String) As Boolean
    ' FullName is the full path name of the file you want to check
    Dim objDocumentProperties As DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties
    IsWordDoc = False
    Set objDocumentProperties = New DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties
    ' or you can add dsoOptionOnlyOpenOLEFiles to the options and
    ' use error trapping to detect -2147217148
    objDocumentProperties.Open sFileName:=FullName, ReadOnly:=True, Options:=dsoOptionDontAutoCreate
    If objDocumentProperties.IsOleFile Then
    If objDocumentProperties.OleDocumentFormat = "MSWordDoc" Then
    IsWordDoc = True
    End If
    End If
    objDocumentProperties.Close savebeforeclose:=False
    Set objDocumentProperties = Nothing
    End Function
    Sub testIsWordDoc()
    Debug.Print IsWordDoc("c:\a\test.doc")
    Debug.Print IsWordDoc("c:\a\test.xls")
    End Sub
    You may also find that the value of the property I am checking varies and that you need to look at other things, such as 
    objDocumentProperties.SummaryProperties.ApplicationName
    but that value definitely varies according to the version of Word used to create the .doc, so you would need to discover what values it can have in a valid .doc.

  • Error launching Word with Robohelp for Word

    I have a test rack at work with a machine dedicated to Robohelp, which we just purchased and set up to replace our very old and outdated solution. It has Robohelp 8 on Windows 7, with Office 2007. Since the Robohelp installation, Word has consistent and constant crashes, giving an error claiming that Macros are required but unable to start. I entered the Trust Center in Word as instructed, and reset macros, but to no avail. Attempting to launch Word in Robohelp for Word causes an exception and error. Launching Word on its own also causes the same error. I've tried a Office repair, to no avail. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

    I've know RoboHelp have issues finding Word or working with the wrong security settings. What I have not known it do is affect the running of Word when Word is run alone. For that reason, I think your problem is with Word.

  • RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - can't open a pdf file from help topic

    running RoboHelp for Word 8.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I produce WinHelp for one of our clients.
    I just converted an old online help system from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8.
    one of my topics has a button to launch a pdf file
    {button Transport Feature Chart, EF(`GFC.pdf', `', 1, `')}
    I can generate the hlp file, launch the help and open the topic but cannot open the pdf file when I click on the button.
    any ideas?

    I've just tried this in RH8 and have discovered that the EF macro only seems to work with certain file types. For example, .TXT and .LOG files do work whilst .PDF and .DOC don't. I'm beginning to wonder if there has been something that has changed between RH7 and RH8 along security lines? Just added my 2p as I haven't used WinHelp for over 10 years!

  • RoboHelp for Word cannot open Word with Word 2007

    Thanks for your leignancy, I'm having trouble even starting
    to work with RoboHelp. I think I need detailed explanations. I did
    spend hours sifting through Robohelp's Help and this Forum, I'm
    stuck.
    I am trying to use
    RoboHelp for Word 7.0 , build 001, with Word 2007 on Vista.
    I need to work on help projects created with a previous
    version of RoboHelp.
    For some reason, when I open RoboHelp, the .doc file opens in
    Word next to it, but then RoboHelp freezes for several minutes,
    then I get a dialog box that says
    "RoboHelp" could not open Word .
    Then anytime I try to modify a topic in my help file, I get
    the same stall and error message, and my Word document stays stuck
    at the beginning on my first topic.
    Also, in Word,
    all Robohelp options don't work. I can't search for a topic
    for instance to locate it and modify it. When I click on search for
    a topic from the menu on top, nothing happens at all. If I click on
    search a topic from the right-click menu, then I get a message that
    because of security or confidentiality settings, the
    Macros don't work.
    I tried re-activating all Macros in Word 2007 Options, I
    closed everything, even re-booted the computer, but to no avail.
    Also, I tried saving my .doc into a .docx (Word 2007 format)
    to see if the Macros would be compatible then, but I got the exact
    same results.
    Right now, RoboHelp and Word don't seem to be "talking" to
    each other right, and the Macros don't work.
    Plus: I tried to test a modification I made in the .doc file
    by generating the WebHelp, but that didn't work either, I got an
    error message saying that the file couldn't be opened, but the path
    to the file was all wrong, with folder names I don't even have on
    my computer.
    If someone could figure this one out for me, I'd be very
    thankful, I'm the kind of person who likes something to work in a
    simple, linear way, 1-2-3... This is totally confusing for me right
    now.

    Ok, isn't that what I did when I re-activated the Macros in
    Word 2007?
    Word Options / security - confidentiality center / Parameters
    Activate all Macros (the lowest one on the list)
    Did that already. Also, I made backups of my projects, and
    tried with a new "brew" just in case I had messed it up along the
    way somewhere.
    First thing I did when I opened it again was change the
    output to WebHelp instead of WinHelp 4, since I can't open that in
    Vista anymore.
    I can generate the help in that format, but either way I try
    to make any modification it's not taken into account when I
    generate it.
    Example:
    In the french help project which I'm working on, I had a
    tittle that was miss-spelled.
    I tried modifying in in the Word .doc document, then generate
    the help, but the title was still wrong.
    So I tried changing in directly in Robohelp with the topic's
    properties.
    When I clicked OK, it stalled forever again, and then it said
    it couldn't take the modifications into account.
    And any text I cut and paste or changed in the .doc on Word
    remains unchanged in the WebHelp....
    Right now, the more I try, the more I'm stuck and the more
    questions I get. I'm seriously thinking I'd need some live
    coaching, on a chat or something, to get me started on the right
    track. Is there anyone who can do that? I'm so awfully stuck right
    now. And I feel like I'd unfurl a tsunami of ridiculous questions
    if I posted them all on the Forum now...
    *EXTRA*
    I did all the updates (7.0.3) and right now I'm re-installing
    everything.
    Arghhh.
    I missed one of the last days of ski this season, spent my
    whole week-end with this.
    I'm trying to sound rational and calm, but I'm actually so
    tired and exasperated, I'd have jumped through the window already
    if we weren't on the first floor... Still stuck at Step 1...
    What am I missing??

  • Taskbar Jumplist anomalies for Word 2010 and Excel 2010

    I am having problems with missing jumplists for Office 2010 products (Word and Excel) pinned on the Windows 7 taskbar, **BUT** have no problems with jumplists for Notepad and IE pinned on the taskbar.
    Observation 1: I just upgraded from Office 2010 Starter to full Office 2010 by getting a product key. Full Office 2010 was installed on my laptop when I purchased it but only Starter was licensed. Full Office 2010 was unusable until the upgrade. I suspect
    the leapfrog from Starter to full Office 2010 might have a part in this jumplist issue.
    Observation 2: I can see from a DOS prompt that the AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestinations folders exist under Recent. However, from Windows Explorer I cannot see the 2 folders under Recent. (That may be a clue…if other people CAN see the 2 folders
    from Windows Explorer.)
    Observation 3: In DOS, I can see that both directories have files ending in -ms. I can also see updates (new files with fresh timestamps) from opening Word and Excel files in those 2 directories. It’s almost like Word and Excel don’t understand to go look
    in those 2 directories after the Office upgrade, even though Windows 7 (?) generates the -ms files for the jumplist function.
    Observation 4: Again, no problems with Notepad and IE jumplists. I can remove the files from the AutomaticDestinations folder and cause Notepad to have no jumplist items, and then restore them and Notepad has jumplist contents again.
    Observation 5:  I had no problem using jumplists with Word Starter and Excel Starter.  All references to Office/Word/Excel Starter are now gone from the Starter button and All Programs - sent to Recycle bin.  I deleted the Word Starter
    and Excel Starter entries when I upgraded, but I just deleted the Microsoft Office Starter (Englisgh) entry under All Programs today...I thought it was a benign entry and wouldn't hurt since I wasn't using it.  Maybe there's some corruption in registry
    as a result of the mixture.  Interestingly, I can drag a file created in Word Starter to the taskbar and it will try to pin it to the Word Starter taskbar "ghost" that's in the Recycle bin.
    Any clues anyone?  I have no large files in the two destination folders, and have only about 20 files total in each folder...far fewer than the 999 threshhold mentioned in one of the updates for Office 2010.
    Thank you!

    I encountered exactly the same problem, and under exactly the same circumstances as the original poster (upgraded from Office Starter to Home and Business; jump lists worked fine in Starter, then stopped working for Excel and Word after upgrading). 
    Like the original poster, none of the various fixes found online corrected the problem, nor did re-installing Office.
    I also tried what was suggested by Max Meng and created a new User Account. The problem occurred for the new account, just as it did with the old one.
    After about 6 hours of fighting, I have finally solved the problem.  The solution is not easy, fast or pretty.
    What I did was uninstall Office (again) using the Control Panel. Then I ran a FixIt utility found here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 (method 2)
    My hope was that this would do additional registry clean-up.  I knew from earlier attempts that this alone would not fix the problem, though.
    Despite uninstalling twice, there were still a lot of references left in the registry to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter".  Likewise, there were still references to "WINWORDC.EXE" and "EXCELC.EXE", which are the starter versions of the executables.
    So I went through the registry using RegEdit, and manually deleted every key which included those strings.  The largest number of cases were file type definitions for various Word and Excel file extensions.  When in doubt, I deleted entire tag
    hierarchies for Word and Office file types, figuring that they would be restored when I reinstalled Office.  In the process, I removed pretty much every reference to Word or Excel that I could find in the registry.
    I also deleted any directory on my hard drive (in c:\Program Files(x86), c:\Program Data, and c:\Users\<name>\AppData which appeared to be related to Office.
    Having done this, I reinstalled again, and the jump lists for Word and Excel now work.
    In debugging the problem, I found that .automaticDestination-ms files (which contain the data behind the jump lists) were not being created when I opened Word or Excel documents; they *were* being created when I manually pinned individual files to the
    taskbar, however. 
    I suspect that this might be due to the long hexadecimal filename being based on a hash of the application name, or what the system thinks is the application name based on the file type.  Removing the references to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter",
    and the corresponding WINWORDC.EXE and EXCELC.EXE in the registry might have cleared up this problem.
    Obviously this fix is potentially risky, and should only be attempted if you are comfortable editing the registry. Making a full system backup beforehand would be a wise precaution.  For this specific case, however (broken jump lists after
    upgrading from Starter to full Office) it would appear the only alternative is a clean install of Windows (to wipe the registry completely).

  • How to co-athoring with macro enable Word documents (.docm)

    I´m working with a prototype-installation of SharePoint 2010 where co-authoring is an important function.
    But I have found one problem however.
    According to the following article co-authoring is not supported for macro enabled word-files (.docm ):
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-HA101812148.aspx
    1. Does anyone know what the plans are regarding this issue, will docm and co-athoring be supported in the near future?
    2. Are there any workarounds available to handle macro and co-authoring at the same time?
    Björn
    Found the solution!
    Store a macro enable Word-template (.dotm) in the Sharepoint library and save the created Word document in non macro enable format (.docx).
    The document vill keep the connection to the template and all the macros will work together with co-athoring!
    Björn

    Here's a followup to Bjorn's original post:
    Save a copy of the .dotm as a .docx, in the SharePoint team  lib where your users will be working.
    Next, create a a new doc lib with a nice short name such as "a" (to keep path short) on the site that holds your team's doc lib, and move the .dotm file there.  Then, right click on the .dotm's name to Get File Properties and copy
    the path to  the .dotm file. The path might look something like this: 
    https://win.MyCompany.com/TeamSite/a/myfile.docm.
    Now that you have the path to the .dotm, go back and edit its .doc version, that you created in the Team Lib. In the Developer tab in the ribbon, click on DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. The Templates and Add-ins dialog will appear. PASTE the path,
    above, into the Document Template field.
    Now your .docx knows the path to the .dotm, and since your users can access both locations, the macro in the .docx will still work OK...and your working doc lib won't be junked up with the .dotm version.

  • RH8 for Word gives "not responding" message when I try to add a hotspot

    Good afternoon.  I have been trying to add a hotspot or jump to
    RoboHelp 8 Word with no luck.  My computer keeps freezing and in a few minutes I will see that Word is "Not Reponding" on the blue bar at the top of the screen.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi there
    Wow... it's been last century since I touched RoboHelp for Word, but I do recall that it involves using Word macros to work the RoboHelp Magick. Have you ensured the Macro Security has been relaxed for this? Is this the first time you have tried using RoboHelp for Word? Or was it working fine and suddenly stopped?
    One other thing. What is your operating system?
    Cheers... Rick

    I've just tried this in RH8 and have discovered that the EF macro only seems to work with certain file types. For example, .TXT and .LOG files do work whilst .PDF and .DOC don't. I'm beginning to wonder if there has been something that has changed between RH7 and RH8 along security lines? Just added my 2p as I haven't used WinHelp for over 10 years!

  • Robohelp 9 for Word - Bughunter not functional

    I have RH9, Windows 7, Word 2010 and I'm working on an existing winhelp project.
    In previous versions of winhelp, I was able to use a tool called Bughunter to see what Map ID's were being called by the application associated with the help. Robohelp 9 for Word includes this tool, but the tool doesn't run, period. When you open the tool you receive 6 or 7 popup message boxes about various things not working and the application never starts.
    Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Failing that, is there any other way to see what help map ID's are being called from a given application?

    Here are the messages I get:
    This is the series of messages you see in order when you attempt to execute the Bughunter program.
