Auxiliary window to replace text
When I have a text highlighted (selected) and begin to write the whole original text dissapeared.
I would like to write in an auxiliary window and when I finish send to the origina position text.

Hi,

Please state the context of your question.

Application, version, control type for starters.

Word xp 2002. I discovered the change control option and is perfect for this. I see the deleted text and the original text while I am writing.
That's all I need.
Thank for your help.
Best Regards.

You have to be clearer than that. Please expand on what you are trying to do. Be clear. Be precise. Be exact.

Let me try and see if this is what you are asking...but NOT saying.

I want to be able to select some text, have that text go into a window where I can change it, and when I am done have that new text replace the original selected text.

Yes?

No?

I am a Word expert and I have NO idea what you mean by change control option.

Sorry Fumei. I am literally translating from the spanish version. But at the present moment the problem is resolved.
Next time I will be most precise.

Please explain HOW you resolved this issue, for the benefit of all other Tek-Tip members who may be browsing this thread. This is how we all learn.

Yes, considering what I thought you wanted to do, I am very curious as to how you resolved this.

After all it could be as simle as a basic userform (a textbox and a commandbutton) doing:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
Selection.Text = TextBox1.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBox1.Text = Selection.Text
End Sub

I looked at every single one of those, and it was a total waste of time. They showed nothing relevant. They show nothing on how you resolved this.

fumei.

I try locating an english version of word to see how this function is called : I suppose is revision center o revision function that enables a historic revision of the changes made in the word document.
When you eliminate something while this service is active a commentary window is automatically open to show the text replaced :

For example if I highlight a text and begin to write the old text is gone, but appear in the right in the new commentary window.

Tell me please what you don't understand.

I don't understand what ANY of those links show - they show nothing, some are so small I can not see anything.

"I try locating an english version of word to see how this function is called "

I do not understand WHAT function you are refer to. I see no function, you write no function, you show no code for a function.

"For example if I highlight a text and begin to write the old text is gone, but appear in the right in the new commentary window. "

This I do understand. This is Track Changes.

I will repeat...what did you do to "resolve" this? I see nothing resolved.

Hi all,

I have just looked cursorily over this post. My opinion:

- Unfortunately I'm not familiar with TrackChanges in higher versions than 2003. There must be something that in German is called "Sprechblasen" (which translates to balloon, but I'm not sure if and how to distinguish this from Assistant.Balloons).

- Looking at the screenshots the OP posted it seems to me:
1 The OP is using a Word version with balloons in TrackChanges. When he edits a document, the text he types seems to "disappear" into the TrackChanges balloon.
He seems to click into it and continue editing there (hence the "separate window").
2 The TrackChanges balloon feature seems to have been suddenly disabled. As he did not know why, he started this post. Then the feature semms to have returned, so he wrote that the problem was solved.

Thank you, that was most helpful. I understood there was a language issue. I could not get anything from the link images that helped me understand what the problem was, but as it fixed itself (but not "resolved") we can drop this.

I suspect they toggled Track Changes.

Thank you for jumping in, as I am sure it was frustrating for the OP.

Appreciated.

Gerry
