    Grammar Nazis - Are you one?

    Often, but I do try to have some context. If it is a hopeless situation, I do not go Nazi. However, I do question the use of "Nazi". Oooops. Gerry

    Please help me reconcile these words with the deeds.

    If I may... It does not even seem close to being a lie. Hyperbole, maybe. Being somewhat naïve, maybe. A lie? Hardly. Or if it IS to be considered a lie then every single person who makes effort to run for office is guilty of lying (which may in fact be the case). What I find objectionable is...

    Poor math editing

    I just read a newspaper article (yes I still read newspapers) on red pandas. Then two paragraphs later: Considering it is very likely that all of the "more than 80" zoos have at least one WHOLE panda, I have trouble reconciling the number 45 being in captivity. Gerry

    CajunCenturion

    Wow that is terribly sad news. John was a giant on these forums. We talked on the phone a few times but I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I wanted to very much as he clearly was a dynamic and asutely perceptive mind. He will be deeply missed. Damn. Gerry

    Bold Individual Words in a cell?

    Hard to say with the little information supplied. Can you give an example? It may require VBA, but it may also be possible with some Find and Replace action. It could also be possible using a Character Style for the label. I am not quite sure you mean by "label". Gerry

    VBA IN WORD - ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

    Sorry, but where have you been for the last X number of years? That has NEVER been the case. Sure I agree it would be nice but Word VBA has always been sloppy compared to Excel or Access. Not quite. They have both Title and Tag properties that identify them. Take a look at Greg Maxey's site...

    VBA IN WORD - ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

    Bookmarks or docvariables are not "fields with input" and are not lockable. ContentControls or older formfields may work. They certainly work with VBA. Gerry

    WORD VBA- how to Automaticaly save a duplicate and name a document

    Actually it has been done many times before. And no, it is not all that difficult. You can use the DocumentBeforeSave, or you can rewrite Save and SaveAs to override the original routines to save to whatever location you want, using any name you want. Sub FileSaveAs() Dim path As String Dim...

    When the document is saved the highlighted chunks are saved as well. Gerry

    assemble highlighted word scraps into a separate doc easily

    IF you are talking about actual highlighting, and IF that highlight is yellow Sub FindHighlights() Dim r As Range Dim ExtractedDoc As Document Dim SourceDoc As Document Set SourceDoc = ActiveDocument Set ExtractedDoc = Documents.Add Set r = SourceDoc.Range With r.Find .Text = ""...

    Problem changing Normal template in Word 2007

    bluesman, do not double click it open (that creates a new file), right-click and select open. Gerry

    Macro loading from other than Startup folder?

    Check for another Startup folder. Often there is more than one. Gerry

    Set focus using VBA

    The template is opened as dot file (Read Only) just to run the macro's." If you are not creating a new document from the template - you just want access to procedures (macros) - then you do not need to open the file at all. Load it dynamically as an add-in. Once loaded (but NOT opened), you...

    In Microsoft Word is a shared document affected by the user's local normal.dotm template?

    And thus a very good reason to NOT use local normal templates for documents. If the documents on the networks use a network based template, then it does not matter who the local user is that opens it. Gerry

    Word has built-in keyboard shortcuts. No VBA required. They apply to the current paragraph. Alt-Ctrl-1 = Heading 1 Alt-Ctrl-2 = Heading 2 Alt-Ctrl-3 = Heading 3 Ctrl-Shift-N = Normal Gerry

    Friggatriskaidekaphobia

    I guess I should say that I am not trying to be catty, I just think it is better to be explicit. There may not have been a September 13 1752 in British history, but there WAS a September 13 1752, so stating there was not is incorrect. Gerry

    Friggatriskaidekaphobia

    Except of course for those countries (Russia for example) that did not switch until much later. For them, it was dates as usual and September 13 1752 did happen. Your "cool factoid" is hot and steamingly full of western/Anglo-centricities. As long as "we" (and Cal) ignore other parts of the...

    How to make Excel file expire by certain date?

    What do you mean by "expiry"? Gerry

    Modify Save-As filename selection.

    It defaults to stopping at the first non-alphanumeric. I do not know how to change that, although of course you CAN save the file directly as whatever you want with VBA. But the stopping at the first non-alphanumeric does not appear to be changeable. Gerry
