Need instructions for coping existing macro vba and creating a new macro on a different machine

I have a macro that I want to e-mail someone. I copied it and pasted it into a .txt file. I also want to send instructions for inserting the macro to be used with all documents. Not sure if they have 2003 or 2007! I've been looking on the Internet for some simple instructions for adding a macro when you already have the vba but can't find anything that really fits. Can you help me get such instructions? Thanks

Selection/Range different in Word 2010 ???

I'm testing my code on Office 2010 (latest Beta). Most everything works, except i'm hitting a strange problem in one of my functions that inserts text (piece by piece) into a doc. I'm calling this function from another function that takes a string with markup in it, e.g. "Name, G. (2002). <i>Title of paper</i>. Santa Cruz, CA." and turning it into a paragraph. I "walk" through the string, breaking it into pieces that have or don't have markup. And then I insert each piece at the end of a paragraph; if the piece has markup, then the function tells Word to apply its font formatt

Ribbon - Togglebutton for custom style

Hi, I have developed a Word PhD template for our faculty which adds a new tab in the Ribbon. That tab has, among others, a set of buttons that apply custom styles to the active selection. Until now I have used simple buttons that fire a macro which in its turn applies the style. Now, however, I am tweaking the details and would rather replace these buttons by togglebuttons -problem is: I cannot get it to work and find myself struggling with the callbacks. In my ribbon xml I have for instance the following togglebutton: <togglebutton id="tbExample" image="Example" onAction="Example_C

Word 2007 Macros not working

Under Macro Settings, I clicked Enable all macros. I also checked "Trusted access to the VBA project object model." At this time, I cannot run the macros. Please advise.

CROSS REFERENCE

Forgive me for posting this again but I still haven't found a satisfactory solution. Please see if anyone can assist me. I know that you can use word to insert reference, cross reference but that is not exactly what I want. What I need is something that will refer to the sub clause number where the reference is but include the main clause text e.g. Word 2003. I have a document which points to various paragraphs and I would like to usecrossreferencing as well as the name of the main paragraph when I refer to it e.g. SALE OF SHARES AGREEMENT 1 INTERPRETATION 1.1 xxxxxxx 1.2 xxxx

Macro for inserting a files selected from a directory (on a networ

I'm looking for a macro that I could add to .dotm so that I can insert selected files into my main document: From the document > click on a toolbar icon > open the correct specific folder to display the list of files in that folder > Select a file to insert it into my main document. The reason for going this way is to let people change the word files but keep them out of playing with Quick Parts/Autoext in the template itself as files might change and the list of files int eh folder might be added to. I had one I found on this community which worked on my home PC but I seem

converting tabular structures in a Word document into an actual table or reading data from the tabular structures using VBA code

I have a macro which can read the last cell/column of all tables in a Word 2003/2007 document and store the data in an MS-Access table. But, some Word documents have the data in structures like a table format but are not actually tables. The structure looks like a table, but the table borders are actually line connectors. These documents were created by a software(VeryPDF PDF to Word converter) which converted the PDF documents(the original format these documents were) into Word documents. 1. Is there a way I can convert/replace the tabular structures with actual tables in Word so t

Keeping a table in a form editable and checking that fields are filled in before allowing a save

TextBox control not enabled with protection on

This has weird behavior, so I am sure it is a bug. I am trying to auto-total table columns in a document template (not a VBA form). The fields are ActiveX textboxes and in VBA I simply assign them to integers and total; ie effectively adding the values in TextBox1, Textbox2 etc to total in TextBox9. Then I assign the "Filling in forms" protection to the document. It works fine and dandy in the template (dotm) that I am creating, but it all goes wrong when I create a docm from it (which is of course what I want the users to do). When you open up a document from the temp

Splitting a file

I have a large file I need to split into multiple documents. After searching online I found some code which will split a document into single pages. However I need to ONLY split where there is a manual page break (creating variable length documents), not at every page. If anyone can help this absolute beginner by pointing me to directions for splitting at page breaks I would greatly appreciate it.

Toggle button code to insert user response into template

Hello, I've created a User Form to create content for a letter. This is the first time I've ever used VB - I'm a complete Newbie - and I've had a lot of help using an article I found online.

VBA changes the protection while the document is opened but once the document is closed the changes are not written to the OOXML on disk. Steps to reproduce: Step 1 Create a new document in Word 2007. Step 2 From the VBA Immediate Window, execute the following statement. ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="MyPassword", NoReset:=True, Type:=wdAllowOnlyComments, UseIRM:=False, EnforceStyleLock:=False Step 3 Verify that the specified protection has been added to the new docum
