When I open the xlam file, nothing appears (and nothing appears in the "Switch windows" list)???

I have previously created an "xlam" file containing some user defined functions. I can't work out how to edit the file (so I can changed one of the functions). Any ideas? Thanks.

GOOD NEWS: I've worked out where My Documents went to! When logged in as Dale, I had "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" on, but when I created Dale2, Mr Gates switched the setting back to off....

Having reviewed the situation, I realise that my problem has now changed. The question now is, how do I restore my backed up files? That good old phrase mission-critical comes to mind!

This...

Okay, this is getting messy:

Backed up Dale's files (fortunately!).
Created and logged in under a new administrator user account (Dale2).
Deleted the old user (Dale), using the Keep Files...

Right, I'll have a go at it. I'll do a backup first, in case something goes wrong. But, before I start, is there some way of exporting all my Windows customisations from Dale to Dale2? I thought...

Which raises the question, I guess, is there in fact a "problem". Maybe leaving as-is is an option.


There are no references to Dale, except that Dale is listed as an option to share with, and...

More information follows.

Logged on as Dale, I create a new user called Dale2 (with administrator rights). This picture shows what Dale2 sees:

I then logged...

Thanks, Gerald. But this is hurting my head quite a bit. If I understand you correctly, Dale should appear in two places: directly under Desktop and also repeated under Desktop\Computer\C\Users. ...

I can't see the exact links you specify. But if I go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Manage Accounts", two accounts are listed, being "Dale" (an administrator) and "Guest"...

STEVE: "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" was off. If I turn if on, I can now see an additional folder under "Users" called "Default", and a shortcut to "Dale". "Default" has a number of...

I have a new version of Windows 7 (on a new laptop), and the folder structure may be screwed up. My login name is "Dale", but as you can see from the attached screenshot, Dale's folder structure...

Hi Don

Here's the snippet:<pre>For Each MyParagraph In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
If MyParagraph.Range.Font.Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex <> wdAuto Then
MyMessage$ = "The...

Ah. That explains my variable results.

Thanks, Klaus

Hi

As promised, attached is an attempt at checking for failed hyperlinks (and INCLUDEPICTURE targets) in Word documents.

For the record.

I wanted my macro to test whether a document contains any text with a coloured background. I tried "ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex", but it...

1. Ah, another subtlety. "MyField.Code.Style" returns the paragraph style, whereas my two lines of codes (set and modify MyRange) define a range that returns the character style (which, in the...

Hi

[Oops. I seem to be getting variable results. I've now had the insert the blue line to make it work.]

I'm sure the following technique is in WOPR somewhere, but I couldn't find it. So,...

Hi

I have a timesheet macro that stores two sets of arrival and departure times for each day of the week then adds the lot up. The code is very repetitive. For example:<pre> Sat1 =...

Hi Chris

That's really kind and will get me off to a flying start. I'll post something back here when I (eventually) get somewhere with it.

Thanks
Dale

Hi Hans

I was thinking of using it for Word documents that are going to be subjected to a process that creates an HTML version. I guess all the targets will be in one of the the following...

Hi

I want a macro that checks that all hyperlinks in a Word document will work? I envisage it would work like this:<LI>Troll through all the fields
<LI>Identify those that are hyperlinks...

Hi Ian

I just got stung again. I initiated <post#=554,249>post 554,249</post#>, but missed <post#=554,931>post 554,931</post#> and the one following, because they weren't direct replies to me.

False alarm, Hans. I wanted to force the user to save the document, so I tested the Path then issued an ActiveDocument.FileAs. (Wrong, Dale, should have been a "Dialogs (wdDialogFileSaveAs)".) ...
