Yes, it is. But I need a workaround – they want every entry marked…

Thank you all for your assistance. I FINALLY got it…who knew that only a few lines of code could be such an obstacle to me… oh well. At least I keep trying….

Thank you Ms. Witch. I shall try that in my next project

Thank you Andrew… I wasn’t even aware of a RichText feature…so I was searching under AutoText. This does seem to have worked for me. Thanks for your assistance.

You are WONDERFUL Kevin! Thank you! That works. I looked under Help but richtext is not listed… I’m only using VBA — why wouldn’t it be listed in help though? Thanks again – you’re a lifesaver!

Hi Kev!

Here’s a bit of it:

‘Yes Director – Yes Plan
If frmAuditLtrStandard.CheckBox8 = True Then
If frmAuditLtrStandard.CheckBox1 = True Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyName”, Value:=frmAuditLtrStandard.TextBox31.Text
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”FiscalYear”, Value:=frmAuditLtrStandard.TextBox30.Text
If frmAuditLtrStandard.OptionButton1 = True Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyCapacity”, Value:=”Trustee”
ElseIf frmAuditLtrStandard.OptionButton2 = True Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyCapacity”, Value:=”Director”
End If
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(“Option11″).Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range
‘Yes Director – No Plan
ElseIf frmAuditLtrStandard.CheckBox8 = True Then
If frmAuditLtrStandard.CheckBox1 = False Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyName”, Value:=frmAuditLtrStandard.TextBox31.Text
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”FiscalYear”, Value:=frmAuditLtrStandard.TextBox30.Text
If frmAuditLtrStandard.OptionButton1 = True Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyCapacity”, Value:=”Trustee”
ElseIf frmAuditLtrStandard.OptionButton2 = True Then
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:=”AttorneyCapacity”, Value:=”Director”
End If
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(“Option11A”).Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range
End If
End If
End If

This is SO VEXING!!!! Thanks for any insight you can give me.

In searching for a resolution to this same problem, I ran across this thread. I am inserting autotext entries via a VBA routine in Word. The paragraphs contain the appropriate styles and numbering (Heading 1, Heading 2), and when I defined the autotext entries, I was sure to include the paragraph marker. However, when the document assembles at the end of the routine, the entire document is body text style. Any suggestions from the experts?

Thank you Legare. I shall use that statement unfailingly in the future

Thanks to all who have made suggestions. I figured out the error of my ways…. and am absolutely mortified to admit that I had neglected to include the form name prior to the control…

Hence:

frmCalendar.CalendarControl = Date

Must have been a rougher weekend than I thought.

No luck… but thank you.

Thanks Charlotte — but that doesn’t work for me either…

Hi Kevin…

I found this thread and it has been helpful to me since I’ve never used the calendar control before this. Now, you know I’m a novice and this may be a really dumb question but I have to ask it. When I created the user form with the calendar control, the control properties for the date are set to 8/17/2001. Will this change to reflect the current date when used by the end users? If not, how do I have it increment day by day?

Thanks Kev.

Hi Gary,

This is a document which results from a HotDocs merge. The users are used to having a Print letter, print envelope, print label, edit cc information, etc. toolbar which they invoke for certain functions. However, if I attach our FirmLtr.dot template to the merged HotDocs document, the HotDocs document is missing some variables that the FirmLtr.dot populates.

What I’ve ended up doing is copying the FirmLtr.dot, remming out the statements I don’t want, and gathering the sender information via an input box. This will suffice I believe — the users have all the functionality they’re used to but without the variable error messages. They simply will have to type in the sender because I can’t capture that information from HotDocs (or at least I don’t know how to capture it….).

This is probably very convoluted… my apologies.

Hey Kevin!

Thanks for your reply. I guess the problem I have found is with the all the forms (frmLP, frmEnvelope, etc.) as well as the macros that run the forms (PrintLetter, PrintEnvelope), etc. The commandbar doesn’t seem to be the problem. Unfortunately, the macro project items are the offending entities

I will try to clean up the code a little — I also attempted to delete the items first, but if they don’t exist, obviously, I get another error message. So I was looking for an If statement that would check to see if they exist and if not, copy it to the new document.

I’ll keep plugging away as this will make work at my firm much easier if I can accomplish it. Take care! Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for your response Mark. That’s exactly what I’ve ended up doing. I’m loading the image into OmniPage Pro and then running it through the OCR process. I’ve run into some trouble with low system resources but am having the hardware guys work on that. Thanks again.
