The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access VBA to search word file text and extract

Asked by traciwho in Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Word, Access Reports

Tags: Access, Word, VBA

I'm not very knowledgeable of VB, but I've learned a lot from searching these forums. However, I can't find a solution for this one, so here goes:

We are reformatting a huge number of Word documents. Some of the text in the old documents will be the same in the new, and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for SOMEONE ELSE to reformat these. I've created a database with certain information that will be inserted via bookmarks, but I'd like to programatically open the old doc, find the text (there are no bookmarks, but naming convention pretty good), copy it and insert either into an unbound access field to insert into new document via bookmark OR straight into new document from old via bookmark.

So, for example: in my old doc, OPSPRO111.doc, I'd like to find the text after "SCOPE" (but before "SAFETY AND HEALTH") and copy it into either an Access Field or Word file. Please see attached file, and the code I have thus far, which works for inserting the bookmarks. As of yet the code doesn't have anything to do with saving the file either (so that would be a big help too!) I'm going on vacation next week and really need to have this done prior to that so I would really appreciate your help!!!
