Hi Can anyone tell me how to display a message box for the duration of a macro running to display that it's working. I have a routine which is run over an incredibly large file and sometimes it appears to the user that the macro has crashed - I'd like to include some code to display "Macro in...

OK, so you're saying that in a paragraph styled n-Para such as : sfsdf skhkshdf shfksjhf s shfsdhf s kshfd skhf because I've styled shfksjhf bold that the para name should change to 'n-Para CHAR' - so no manual formatting is recommended? doesn't make sense I'm afraid

Perhaps you should stick to painting! and even then, don't give up your day job. Anyone have anything more constructive?

HI I have a problem where styles when manually formatted, have their names changed to include 'CHAR' or 'CHAR CHAR'. eg, a style 'n-Para' when maually formatted becomes 'n-Para CHAR' which is causing us a number of problems. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? Thanks in advance Harky

I've tried removing borders, it's almost as if the text has a hidden paragraph or something in the background. It's a bit odd and I'm guessing the file is corrupt in some way

Hi mate, Nope, that didn't work. I've PDFed it and can remove the lines with PitStop, but they are uneditable in the Word document

Hi I have a document that looks fine in editing mode, but as soon as I print it, or even look at it in Print Preview, strange unwanted horizontal lines appear in certain paragraphs. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these? Thanks Harky

Hi I have a spreadsheet where I want user values to be multiplied by 9 automatically when they are typed in. Eg, when a user types 5 into cel E6 i want it to automatically change to 45. How can you have a formula run in the background for a cell and still be able to type in values without...

Hi Gerry I want character styled text which has had its attributes manually changed to be highlighted and then find the next instances of manually changed characters style stc throughout the entire document. Then the macro should say to the user "manually formatted character styles have been...

Hi Gerry Basically, I need the code to run through all character styles in the file and establish if they have been manually changed. So for xref for example, I would like to know if characters styled xref have been changed to red, or black or 18pt by the editor. So i need to compare the...

Hi Does any one know how I grab the charater style attributes from the template attached to the open Word document and compare them to the character styles withing the document to determine whether or not they have been manually formatted? eg, I have a character style *xref which is 10pt blue...

Hi I need to run a macro on protected documents which firstly unprotects them (they are not password protected) then runs a number of search and replaces, then protects the forms again, saves , then exits. The problem is the forms are filled in and when I choose to protect again all the form...

Hi I need to run a macro across a batch of files to determine if there are illegal characters in there - at the moment it works fine, except for picking up spaces in filenames. The code so far is: Dim NameCheck As New RegExp Dim i As Integer Dim ch As String Dim illegalCharacters As New...

Sorry, it's a Word document. Sarcasm much appreciated. Cheers

Hi I have a file which, when opened, the text 'Label 1' appears for a brief second at the beginning. Does anyone know why this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks Harky

Hi, I just need to know the exact location of the first instance of any style used in a document, and list it in another document: eg. Styles file Heading1 - file23, page 6, line2 Heading2 - file23, page 12, line 8 etc etc I can get the filename easily enough, but the code I use doesn't...
