I have tried it, but did not work

thanks

I am working in an installation to install the templage to different machines. For each machine, some of them 98/2000/NT, I will not know where normal.dot is. For that reason, it is better to install the template to a default directory.

Another thing I can do, I think it is possible to determine in word where normal.dot is installed. If I know that, I can copy the tempate to that directory. The problem is to figure that directory before installation.

I also want to know if I can go to options>file locations and tell Word, I have my template in 2 different directory. For example, where “normal.dot” is and another one names “test”

I have found another way to make it work. I don’t know if it is normal to do that. What I did, I went to tools>file locations, then change the user tempates to the directory where my template is. Without doing any extra thing, my macros inside that templage run without problem. Will that cause any problem in for other user’s templage? Is that the proper way to do it? I can also change the workgroup template directory to refer to the directory where my template is. Doing so also works fine.

Do I have to do all that if I install the templage from one machine to another? Is it possible to do programatically?

I may try it. I will let you know if I do.

thanks

I worked with 2 languages. Some of he words look like English and sound alike. It is not supported by Word. I added some words in the AutoCorrect entry for automatic entry. Howerver sometime there is comfusion. I do use 2 different template. One to create English Document and one for the other language. It would have been nice if I can make these entries available only for the other template.

Currently the code does the opposite. I have been trying to rework the if statemetn without success. All that I need for example, when I first open the templage or if the themplate is in use. The file should not be copy to that directory. However if the templage is not in use, the file should be copied. With the code below, it does the Opposite. ‘When I open a templage create a document, not file is copied. If I open a second one, a file is copied. I don’t want that. I want the file to copy, only if I open a first one. For the second one, no copy.

Dim Doc As Document

For Each Doc In Application.Documents
If Doc.Name ActiveDocument.Name Then
If Doc.AttachedTemplate.Name = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.Name Then
‘ MsgBox (Doc.Name)
End If
FileCopy “c:datatest.txt”, “c:data2test.txt”
End If

Next Doc

This works, I will work on it to make it the way I want

thanks

It seems like before Word exits a template, it closes it first. It did not do any effect until I added it to the autoclose. So, currently is working fine.

thanks

Thank you, I will try it out

That works, about if I want to navigate to specific tab in the options dialog box. For example, the spelling tab. Then I may want to check spell as you type false. So can I also do that. After that I can either close the dialog automatically or ask the user to close it.

Thank you

I have tried it the way you suggested, it does not work. They must be something in the registry that is updated when doing it manually. I don’t know much about VBA an registry. Does VBA gives access to registry as does VB?

Thank you, I will try that later this evening and let you know.

This is the way it works in Word. Every time you add an exclude dictionary you have to exit Word and open it back. After I added an exclude dictionary by using autonew macro from another template, I should have exited Word and got back to it. Since there is no way I can write a macro to exit Word and open it back over, the only way it works is to reset the spell check option. I did it manually and it works fine. All what I did, go to spell options uncheck spell as you type->ok then go back to it, check spell as you type and click ok. Now, all my english words that I type are misspelled. All that I did, I autoplayed a macro to do the manual process, but unfortunately it did not work.

I hope by now you understand me. All that I want to know why the manuall process works and the auto process does not and how can I make it work? I know there is now way I can reset word automatically. I mean exit Word and open it back. Whenever you add an exclude dicitonary in Word, you have to reset it by exiting Word and open it back. This also gives the same result when you go to spell options, uncheck spell as you type click ok and go back to spell options and check back spell as you type and click ok.

I hope you get the idea by now.

I like your idea, I will try to test it and let you know. Basically, I am working in an installation to add some autocorrect entry to another language. What I want to doulble check if these entries have not been entered in the autocorrect entry. Do do that, I will try to check 6 instances. If they don’t exist, I will add them. I will add this macro in the autonew and autoopen so it can only be executed at once.

Thank you
