Hans, where in the top part would I say to resize the large text box to 7″ high rather than 8.04?

Heres the file. The first page was one doc and the second page was another doc but I combined for the post. The second one as a standalone document works with my original macro but the first one does not. There will never be 2 files together to have to search for the second text box.

Thanks much!

Hans,

I put code for that particular text box in where it should have gone but when running it – it didn’t do anything with that text box then errored on my next piece of code. It’s entirely possible I missed something or put something in the wrong place. If I post the document could you take a look at my original code?

Hans,

Are the 3 dots where the rest of my macro would go?

The “Location” box under Tools>Options>File Locations>AutoRecover Files is set to the startup folder – if the location is changed will that eliminate the problem?

Phil,

Was this issue resolved? I’ve had 2 questions in last 2 days with the same problem. I don’t know for sure which SP they have; although I could check.

The following macros can be added to your normal template to stop the cursor from stopping at the beginning of the number or bullet.

Sub DownPara()
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
End Sub

Sub UpPara()
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
End Sub

Once the macros are in the template, you can assign a keyboard shortcut (Control+Down and Control+Up arrows) for each.

Thanks Hans, works like a charm! I should have posted a couple of hours earlier.

Thanks for the reply. I’m assuming the TOC is selected because I can briefly see that it is selected then it jumps back to the print dialog screen. I’m guessing that because of the 2 different options for updating a TOC that it isn’t working correctly. As far as updating entire document, there will be a letter with form fields in it that aren’t to be updated.

Also, thanks for removing unneeded lines – I had been doing that but have recorded and re-recorded so many times that I didn’t clean it before posting.

This was a problem I had with 2000 so it’s worth a try. If you do Alt + F9 to reveal the field code, add w after TOC then refresh, does this line the page numbers up on the right?
