Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Hi Experts

Windows 10 & Word 365 64-bit - I am trying to use the attached code to list available printers. It works successfully on 32-bit but does not on 64-bit. It appears to correctly identify that there are 5 printers but does not return the names - just the string of spaces.

I've worn Google out, and I've tried every combination I can think of regarding variable types, but I'm just not getting anywhere. Ideally, I need this to work on 32-bit and 64-bit and so have avoided the LongLong variable type.

Hoping someone knows the answer. Many thanks in advance.

I have a MS Access form using VBA for a field after the update. The code is checking for a character in another field to determine what code is executed:

If InStr(Nz(Me.LNotes, 0), "ß") = 0 Then
Me.LastStatus = Now()
Else........

All is working fine however I just noted that if the field (LNotes - memo field) has the word "Processing" the initial code in the IF statement is NOT executed even if the character ß is not present.

Any idea why this might be? I have been using this code for years.

I have attached a booklet sample I created so I could find help to make it print like a booklet.

I use Word 16.27 (2019) ON A MAC

I do not see that option aywhere.

Can you make this print like a booklet?

If you make a small change to do this, please send me back the working version and tell me what you changed.

Also, how do I make Word print the one side and request my confirmation that I flipped the pages over?

Thanks!

Need to easily make a composite matrix of images

I have roughly 20 images of faces I need to make into a composite. Think Brady Bunch...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Brady_Bunch_characters

4 rows, 5 columns...

But I do not want to need to reduce the size of any image. I want it to auto adjust to fit.

Suggestions for a tool?

Word has a table layout where I could drop each photo. But there will be white space. I instead want this to look like one image with 20 faces.

Suggestions?

It need to be easy...

Thanks

Need a Word Template for a small booklet

I would like a template that will print a 5.5" X 8.5" booklet on roughly 4 or 5 full sized pages.

I can certainly format Word to print in the configuration I would like, but I need something bigger from a template.

I need customizable regions throughout the document which will contain 1 or more images and text.

The must be resizable since I have no idea how the content will flow, at this point. So, I need total flexibility, on the fly, to grow the section based on:

1) the amount of text
2) the minimum size an image can be printed.

So, I suppose, the big value add for this template is the resizability of a nice looking framed section. If, I needed to explicitly format it to print in booklet form, I can do that myself.

Suggestion on how to find that template?

Thanks

MS Word or other program for landscape text vs. portrait view

MS Word gives us a portrait view. Any way to get a landscape view? We have lyrics to a song and we want them at the bottom of a video. We type the first two lines and get them on one page at a nice size font of 100. But when used as an overlay on the video it covers too much of the video. If we could landscape them along the bottom then the 11 words would be on two lines horizontal instead of five lines vertical. We're using Word and Paint because those are the programs that can get us the two lines of text on a document, copy pasted to paint and saved as a jpg image and opened as an image to the video creator program. And basically the only programs that we have used for such things. Thanks.

I received the following error on a word document: Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt. Try one of the following:
Open and Repair the file
Open the file with the Text Recovery converter

I'm not exactly sure where these items are located in the Office 365 apps or if it will even work but any advice would be helpful.

Programming in Word VBA. I've built a routine to synchronize two folder structures. The user can choose to first perform a test sync. If so, my code creates a new document and writes the results to it, so they can review the printed list. When they close the preview doc it re-displays the dialog so they can perform the real sync or cancel. A Do While loop watches for the test document to be closed, then re-displays the original dialog (which has been hidden).

That's where I'm running into trouble. I can see the new document get created, but the text in the document is not visible. If I save that document and re-open it, the text is now readable. Whether I save or not, when I close the document, the original dialog re-appears as desired.

I tried several methods to display the text before I go into the watch loop: Application.Screenrefresh, reselecting the new document, inserting a MsgBox, inserting a pause of a few seconds. Nothing displays that document. Any suggestions?

redisplay:
myresult = ""
cancld = False
SyncLibrary2019.Show
If cancld = True Then Exit Sub

'----------------------------------------

If myresult = "test" Then

    Set newdoc = Application.documents.Add
    docname = newdoc.Name
    newdoc.Select
        
    Synchronizing.Show (False)  'small dialog that says "synchronizing...please wait"
    Synchronizing.Repaint
        
    somethingchanged = False
    Call SyncFoldersAddNewTest(serverlibrary, contentlibraryfolder,

I have an invoice generator built in Word 2016 which uses VBA and form fields to create an invoice.
What I would like to be able to do is to save the completed document as a standard Word document, without the fields etc

There are some times when the standard invoice template does not suit, so I would like to be able to edit the resulting document after it has been completed.

Build a website from the ground up by first learning the fundamentals of HTML5 and CSS3, the two popular programming languages used to present content online. HTML deals with fonts, colors, graphics, and hyperlinks, while CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed.

I'm having an issue opening a Word 2016 document in Protected View I was hoping for some expertise with.

When I try to open on local drive, I"m getting this error:

I then look at the properties and have the option to "Unblock" in the security settings as shown here:

Issue:

This does open in "Protected View" on another workstation I have but NOT in my VDI environment.

All policies are the same, and "Protected View is Enabled in both environments - therefore the issue is I cannot open in Protected view in my VDI environment - on LOCAL storage.

Note 1: If I copy the file to One Drive, or Sharepoint online and open with either Word or Word online - I do not get the error and it opens without being in protected view.

The only real difference I have noticed is with "Trusted Publishers".

On a workstation where it opens without issue in Protected view, here is what the Trusted Publishers looks like:

On my VDI, where this does NOT open in protected mode and errors out, this is what my Trusted Publishers looks like:

Other than turning off protected mode in each app for 2016, is there a reason for this or other work-around or explanation?

Thanks in advance experts!

In VBA, I'm having trouble with a very simple piece of code. I've been staring at it for an hour but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm working in Word (365 perpetual) on Windows 10. At one point I want to write the value of a series of userform checkboxes out to an Excel file. I need to write them as numeric values instead of "True" and "False." So I added a function that's supposed to turn a True into -1 and False into 0. It has worked fine before, but tonight for some reason it always returns 0.

xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 34) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox1.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 35) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox2.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 36) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox3.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 37) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox4.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 38) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox5.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 39) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox6.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 40) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox7.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 41) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox8.Value)
xlsheet.Cells(nextrow, 47) = booltodigit(Me.CheckBox9.Value)
'etc.



Private Function booltodigit (ByRef bool As Boolean) As Integer
MsgBox bool
If bool = True Then
    booltodigit = -1
Else
    booltodigit = 0
End If
MsgBox booltodigit
End Function

Open in new window

As you can see I've put a few MsgBox commands in my function to verify what's going on, and no message pops up, so it appears it's not even calling the function.

Can you spot what I'm doing wrong? It must be so simple but I just can't see it. Most frustrating is that this worked in the past but not now. Thanks!
