Figured it out! Here’s the resolution:

Start/Settings/Printers/Properties/Printing Preferences/Advanced/ – under “Graphic”

change “True Type Font – Substitute with Device Font”
to
“True Type Font – Download as Softfont”

HP 4100TN with 4000 drivers…I’m told the 4100 drivers cause problems, although I did load them – they didn’t resolve the problem

Wow! That’s awesome… I’ll give it a shot. It certainly seems to make sense to me at first glance. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I’ll let you know how it works out. Much appreciation

I’m not really connecting to Groupwise as a data source in a normal merge so I can’t see any fields. I’m connecting by using the Application.GetAddress command and put all fields into an infoholder then parse it — a portion of the first line of code is below

Sub ParseAuthor
Infoholder = Application.GetAddress (Name:=””, AddressProperties:=”” & vbCr & “” & vbCr & “” & vbCr & “”, UseAutoText:=False)
‘then parse and put into user form text boxes
End Sub

As I said, it works with the default fields, but I can’t get it work with the admin defined fields.

THANK YOU HANS! Your sample document was helpful but something you said in your message about the DocVariable being different from the VB variable gave me the information I needed to correct my code. It’s now a pretty awesome form.. puts in the week ending date, also all the appropriate dates from Monday-Sunday depending on the week ending, etc. I’ve never had any training in VB so I’m kind of stumbling along the best I can and learn as I go. Your input was extremely helpful. Thank you again.

Even when I delete the format reference, and leave it just MStandard + TStandard, etc., it still won’t total. I’m trying to add up the hours an employee worked on specific days to get a total for the week.

Bless you Charlotte! What a simple thing…when I changed Int to Val — it worked perfectly. This novice very much appreciates your assistance!

Thank you! That got me on the right track. I just had to break out the original string a little more…. here’s the code that worked for me:

Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=”Seller2″
Selection.TypeText “, and ”
With Selection.Font
.Name = “Times New Roman Bold”
.Bold = True
.SmallCaps = True
End With
Selection.TypeText frmDeed.TextBox4.Text
With Selection.Font
.Name = “Times New Roman”
.Bold = False
.SmallCaps = False
End With
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AddSellerAddress”, Value:=”, ” & _
“residing at ” & frmDeed.TextBox5.Text & “, ” & frmDeed.TextBox6.Text

I very much appreciate your help. Sometimes I think I make things more difficult than they have to be….

Thank you Hans. I’m just inserting some variable information in the middle of a paragraph, but the Seller’s name should be bold, small caps, and the rest normal text. There may or may not be a second Seller, but if there is, I wanted it to be formatted with those font attributes.

But I don’t know what will be contained in TextBox4…if anything. I’m using autotext throught the process, but how would I use autotext in this instance?

That looks like exactly what I needed. Unfortunately for now, we are wedded to Office 97… Thanks Gary.

how’d you do that?

Maybe I don’t know what I’m doing, but I wanted a VBA control (like a combo box….) that would look like a table on a user form….I’m trying to add a spreadsheet to a user form

Hey Kev… not sure but you should be able to write something with the KeyPress Event…

You’re brilliant! Thanks so much for your assistance. I had searched archives but apparently didn’t use the right search criteria. Thank you all, and especially you Gary! What a wonderful forum!
