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!

Replace header in a the current section of a Word document using VB

Asked by sbarefoot in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Word, VB Script

Tags: , , , ,

I seem to be chasing my tail on this and hope there is a simple solution by someone that knows what they're doing (I sure don't!)

I have a Word 2003 document with multiple sections.  I'd like to be able to run code from the current page of the document that would unlink the header from the previous header, delete the existing header information, reset tabs and then insert a file from a network location.

I have attached code that may be getting close but misses the mark.  The code will perform the unlink and insert the file but it ends up in the first section of the document instead of the current section.

Thanks for your insight...Start Free Trial

Sub Section2Header()
 
    'Go to the header of the current section
    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
    
    'Unlink header from previous
    Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = Not Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious
    
    'Delete any existing header content and set tabs
    Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
    Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll
    ActiveDocument.DefaultTabStop = InchesToPoints(0.5)
    Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:=InchesToPoints(6), _
    Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces
    
    'Insert file
    Selection.InsertFile FileName:="I:\Automation\Header2.doc", Range:="", _

    'Go back to main document
