Hi jsher2000

I have search for some solution to be able to unprotect a form and found the answer you posted:

1. Save As RTF

2. Close the DOC file

3. Open the RTF file (still protected, but the password is now blank)

I tried to do this for my document, but it did not work. I used the space button, but may be another character or button should be used?

I also tried to set up a macro to unprotect but it did not work either:

Sub UnProtectDoc2()
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = wdAllowOnlyFormFields Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=” ” ‘ a space was inserted between the brackets
End If
End Sub

Any chance to get the document unprotected?

Thanks
Bjorn

Thanks a lot.

I may not be good in searching.

I’ll go htrough the threads and see what it can do to me now.

Thanks and regards
Bjorn

Diana,

I have enclosed a document containing a macro for your purpose.

Bjorn

Hope it will be usefull for you.

I wander whether it is possible to display the tool tip on two lines; does anyone know?

I have seen earlier that this was not possible, but there excists a dll which can be used to do so?

Good night and regards

Bjorn

Thanks to everyone!

It looks to me that it will be a “large” job in the destination document to bring the formatting to what I want it to be.

The result is presumably that I should copy e. g. tables, which I want to keep the formatting for, as they are and the text containing the unwanted format as unformatted.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I have a similar challenge:
The problem is always the same: Copying text from other documents results in bringing a lot of other formatting, which I do not want.
There is a function to paste without formatting, but if I have some text, e.g. a table, for which I would like to keep the formatting, how to do that?? I only want to get rid of Headings and other text formatting which is not in my normal.dot or in my document.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Hans,

Was afraid there was some “bug” since Microsoft haven’t used this in SharePoint Portal Server and they also have trouble with versioning in SPPS.

Can’t understand why it should be dangerous to use Word’s versioning as David Rado says in his article. But I have no doubt he is right.

I had hoped that I should be able to control documents be version-numbering thus without using code.

Anyway:

Thanks a lot.

I have left my templates now and gone into other tools. So it will be more seldome I will be using thsi excelent WOODY’S LOUNGE!

Any special reason for that I should not have general code (Public Sub procedure()) in ThisDocument?

I have several other there and haven’t noticed any special negative things.

Yes it does.

It means I have done something wrong, and I (You) suddenly have solved the problem!

As I now remember from som VBA help, only one AutoExec procedure will be executed when opening/starting a template.

I tried it and it now works correct.

Thanks a lot Hans, sorry to use so mutch time just because I forgot that I had an AutoExec allready.

Best regards
and have a nice evening (time is 15:15 and I have to change to summertiers on my electric vehicle, a TH!NK. A previous norwegian battery driven car developed in Norway, bought by Ford. Very good and inexpencive, no toll road charge. Though this has nothing to do with VBA coding.)
