Gerry, I figured it out. I had the "automatically save versions on close" option (File...Versions) checked to "yes." Some time ago, I had done that. Not a good idea. I had some 20+ versions saved. The document had reached the size of 529 MG! Once I unchecked that option and deleted all the...

Gerry, No I don't. I also have UNchecked all of the following on the Options...Save tab: Embed TrueType fonts Embed linguistis data Embed smart tags Always create a backup

I'm having a problem with a Word 2003 document. Whenever I save changes, it takes forever to complete the save. This is a document that has undergone many many edits. It currently has 61 pages, which is not enormous for a Word document. Does anyone know why it's taking so long to save? If it has...

Thanks Blue, It happened to be the "Update Links" option in the Print page of the options dialog. I appreciate your input.

Hello all, I have a little quirk that I can't figure out. Every time I try to print pages from a long word document (Word 2003), a small dialog pops up with the title "Update Table of Contents" and it gives me two choices: Update page numbers only and Update entire table. If I select one or the...

I do have a Section Break (Next Page) between the two Sections but to no avail. This allows me to use Roman Numbers for one section and Arabic for the other, but it does not allow me to make the change in where the footer should be placed. When I change that in the second section, the first...

Hello everyone, I just can't seem to solve this problem on my own. I am writing a term paper example for my students. I want the paper to display all the characteristics of the Turabian Style for writing Term Papers. According to this style, page numbering for the body is different from page...

Thanks everyone for you help. I guess I never realized that the tag property can only be permanently changed in design view. Your solutions are very helpful. I am quite interested in exploring the topic of Custom DB Properties mentioned by TheACEMan.

What kind of control is it? If it's a TextBox, then you might try reading its text property rather than its value. If Len(Nz(Me!txtTextBox.Text, vbNullString)) > 0 Then 'Do something End If

I want to programmatically assign a value to the tag property of an open form and then save that change when I close the form so that I have access to it when I open it the next time. Sounds pretty straight forward, but I'm finding that the changes made to the tag are not being saved. Is this...

Tony, Your question makes me wonder if my effort to change the active custom dictionary is necessary. In my macro called SetLanguage I change the LanguageID value for every style in the document to the one corresponding to the user's choice that was made in a pop-up form. After that, I change...

Hello everyone, A lot of my work involves switching back and forth between English and Spanish while working in Microsoft Word. I wrote a macro that changes all the styles in the document to the Language of my choice and also changes the Active Custom Dictionary accordingly. This saves me a lot...

No. I have been working on my laptop. However, I do use my laptop both at home and at the office. While at the office, I connect up to the Network, but I don't think that should affect my Normal.dot template because that is on my laptop. I do seem, however, to have resolved the problem (knock...

Hello everyone, I am using MS Word 2003. If I have made any changes to the VBA code in either the Normal.dot or my other Global template (MyGlobal.dot), then when Word tries to save the changes to either of those templates, a message about the disk being full pops up and the changes are not...

mintjulep, That sounds like the way it should work. Otherwise, why have a state property in the first place? Yet, mine always renders as 0. Maybe it has to do with the version. I'm running Office 2003. gsw

mintjulep, Your solution gives the same results as what I had done (without the Item key word). It always outputs to zero. SkipVought, Your solution works! So, somehow that button automatically reflects the Italic property of the current selection. Here is my solution: Public Sub Italic With...

I apologize beforehand if there is an obvious answer to this question. I have searched and not found that answer, but that doesn't mean it's not right there staring me in the face. Does anyone know how to use VBA to read the state of the Italic built-in toggle button, i.e., whether it is...

tf1, That appears to have resolved the problem. I had a global template located in the StartUp folder in which I had evidently saveed the toolbar at some time--though I don't remember doing that. I opened it up and deleted the extra toolbars from there and viola, now Word opens without the...

Hi everyone, I created a custom toolbar called Spanish Accents (the name of which is probably enough to explain the purpose of the toolbar). In the process of creating the toolbar, I went through various versions until I got it the way I wanted. Now, when I Open Word, three such toolbars with...

Hey, this is a follow-up on this question that was never answered. The problem is what seems to me to be a bug in Microsoft Access 2003. If you give your textbox margins, using the Left, Right, Top, or Bottom margins properties, then the Scrollbars will not work. The only workaround that I have...
