I am new to VBA. I need help. How to cut and paste (or move) the each footnote content next to the respective footnote indicator in Body Text. While placing the text, i need to place in between XML Tag <Footnote>..</Footnote>. For example Footnote indicator 1 was replaced with <Footnote>Respective footnote content</Footnote>
My Input DOC file
My needed Output file
When i was refer at online there was a macro which was selecting each footnote indicator manually for placing in the body text. My Document have more footnote text, it was difficult to use this macro each time for all footnotes.
Please help me in this regarding for creating the VBA Scripts.
For example:
Sub MoveFootNotes()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim RngSrc As Range, RngTgt As Range, f As Long
With ActiveDocument
For f = .Footnotes.Count To 1 Step -1
With .Footnotes(f)
Set RngSrc = .Range
Set RngTgt = .Reference
With RngTgt
.Collapse wdCollapseStart
.FormattedText = RngSrc.FormattedText
.InsertBefore "<Footnote>"
.Characters.Last.Next.InsertBefore "</Footnote>"
End With
.Delete
End With
Next
End With
Set RngSrc = Nothing: Set RngTgt = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

How to caculate number of words in a page of word document
I need the VB code for this action that will allow me to automate calculation of word count that will be place at the footer of each page
I tries searching for solution but no luck
Unless you're prepared to insert 'Next Page' Section breaks between your pages, you cannot have the individual page counts in the page headers or footers. The following code does the required calculations and inserts the page counts as hidden text at the top of each page's body text. Content in page headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes & textboxes is ignored.
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim p As Long, w As Long, Rng As Range
With ActiveDocument
For p = .ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages) To 1 Step -1
Set Rng = .GoTo(What:=wdGoToPage, Count:=p).GoTo(What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="\Page")
With Rng
w = .ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords)
.Collapse wdCollapseStart
.Text = "[" & w & "]"
.Font.Hidden = True
End With
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Do note that I have not used the .Words.Count property as that is unreliable.
I currently employ a VBA script to copy all the hyperlinks in an MS Word document and list them in a new document. However, I wonder if there is any way to update this VBA script such that it would translate those hyperlinks into footnotes without affecting the original display words --or live hyperlinks, for that matter. This would be really helpful as copying and pasting those hyperlinks back into the original document is very, very time-consuming. The VBA script I currently have:
Sub PullHyperlinks()
Dim Src As Document
Dim Link As Hyperlink
Dim iDoDisplay As Integer
Set Src = ActiveDocument
If Src.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
iDoDisplay = MsgBox("Include display text for links?", vbYesNo)
Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument
For Each Link In Src.Hyperlinks
If iDoDisplay = vbYes Then
Selection.TypeText Link.TextToDisplay
Selection.TypeText vbTab
End If
Selection.TypeText Link.Address
Selection.TypeParagraph
Next Link
Else
MsgBox "There are no hyperlinks in this document."
End If
End Sub
For example:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, Rng As Range, FtNt As Footnote
With ActiveDocument
For i = .Hyperlinks.Count To 1 Step -1
Set Rng = .Hyperlinks(i).Range
Rng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
Set FtNt = .Footnotes.Add(Rng)
FtNt.Range.FormattedText = .Hyperlinks(i).Range.FormattedText
.Hyperlinks(i).Range.Delete
With FtNt.Range.Hyperlinks(1)
.TextToDisplay = .Address
End With
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Within a Word docx: I'm trying to add a bookmark to each sentence. For example, at first sentence would be bookmark "bmarkpg01" and second sentence would be bookmark ""bmarkpg01ln01col01"". My code adds only one bookmark to first sentence and doesn't loop through to end of document.
I've tried a for each loop to attempt each sent in sentences and each bmark in bookmark.
Sub tryAddBmarkatSentence()
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content
Dim bmark As Bookmark
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each MySent In ActiveDocument.Sentences
For Each bmark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="pmark" & bmark.Range.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber), Range:=myRange 'bmark name would have added info of page, line, and col number. here as example is pagenumber.
Next
Next
End Sub
EXPECTED RESULT: Within entire document, each sentence has a corresponding bookmark and bookmark name ("bmarkpg01ln01col01", "bmarkpg01ln02col10", etc.)
ACTUAL RESULTS: only one bookmark is added to the first sentence of the document.
The following works for me, as far as the requirements in the question go.
Please remember to put Option Explicit at the top of a code page. This will force you to declare ("Dim") variables, but will also save time and trouble as it will prevent typos and warn you of other problems.
A Sentence in Word returns a Range object, so the code below delares MySent As Range. This provides the target Range for the Bookmarks.Add method.
If you won't be doing anything else with the bookmark, it's not strictly necessary to Set bkm = when adding the bookmark. I left it in since it is declared in the code in the question.
It's not necessary to loop the collection of bookmarks - espeicially since there aren't any - they're being added.
I've added some code for naming the bookmarks, as well.
Sub tryAddBmarkatSentence()
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim MySent As Word.Range
Dim bmark As Bookmark
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set doc = ActiveDocument
For Each MySent In doc.Sentences
Set bmark = doc.Bookmarks.Add(Name:="bmark" & _
MySent.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) & "_" &_
MySent.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) & "_" & _
MySent.Information(wdFirstCharacterColumnNumber), Range:=MySent)
'bmark name would have added info of page, line, and col number. here as example is pagenumber.
Next
End Sub
u can try like this
Sub tryAddBmarkatSentence()
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content
Dim bmark As Bookmark
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each MySent In ActiveDocument.Sentences
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add ... and the rest of the code.
//i dont know how you define witch bookmark is to asign to that sentence
Next
End Sub
I have a Word macro that allows to put his/her cursor anywhere in a Word document and it finds and saves the Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 text that is above the text selected by the user in order capture the chapter, section and sub-section that is associated with any sentence in the document.
I am currently using the code below which moves up the document line-by-line until it finds a style that contains "Heading x". When I have completed this task I move down the number of lines that I moved up to get to Heading 1, which may be many pages.
As you can imagine this is awkward, takes a long time (sometimes 60+ seconds) and is visually disturbing.
The code below is that subroutine that identifies the heading.
Dim str_heading_txt, hdgn_STYLE As String
Dim SELECTION_PG_NO as Integer
hdng_STYLE = Selection.Style
Do Until Left(hdng_STYLE, 7) = "Heading"
LINESUP = LINESUP + 1
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, COUNT:=1
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
hdng_STYLE = Selection.Style
'reached first page without finding heading
SELECTION_PG_NO = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
If SELECTION_PG_NO = 1 Then 'exit if on first page
a_stop = True
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
str_heading_txt = Selection.Sentences(1)
I tried another approach below in order to eliminate the scrolling and performance issues using the Range.Find command below.
I am having trouble getting the selection range to move to the text with the "Heading 1" style. The code selects the sentence at the initial selection, not the text with the "Heading 1" style.
Ideally the Find command would take me to any style that contained "Heading" but, if required, I can code separately for "Heading 1", "Heading 2" and "Heading 3".
What changes to the code are required so that "Heading 1" is selected or, alternatively, that "Heading" is selected?
Dim str_heading_txt, hdgn_STYLE As String
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Fnd As Boolean
Set Rng = Selection.Range
With Rng.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Style = "Heading 1"
.Forward = False
.Execute
Fnd = .Found
End With
If Fnd = True Then
With Rng
hdng_STYLE = Selection.Style
str_heading_txt = Selection.Sentences(1)
End With
End If
Any assistance is sincerely appreciated.
You can use the range.GoTo() method.
Dim rngHead As Range, str_heading_txt As String, hdgn_STYLE As String
Set rngHead = Selection.GoTo(wdGoToHeading, wdGoToPrevious)
'Grab the entire text - headers are considered a paragraph
rngHead.Expand wdParagraph
' Read the text of your heading
str_heading_txt = rngHead.Text
' Read the style (name) of your heading
hdgn_STYLE = rngHead.Style
I noticed that you used Selection.Sentences(1) to grab the text, but headings are already essentially a paragraph by itself - so you can just use the range.Expand() method and expand using wdParagraph
Also, a bit of advice:
When declaring variables such as:
Dim str_heading_txt, hdgn_STYLE As String
Your intent was good, but str_heading_txt was actually declared as type Variant. Unfortunately with VBA, if you want your variables to have a specific data type, you much declare so individually:
Dim str_heading_txt As String, hdgn_STYLE As String
Or some data types even have "Shorthand" methods known as Type Characters:
Dim str_heading_txt$, hdgn_STYLE$
Notice how the $ was appended to the end of your variable? This just declared it as a String without requiring the As String.
Some Common Type-Characters:
$ String
& Long
% Integer
! Single
# Double
You can even append these to the actual value:
Dim a
a = 5
Debug.Print TypeName(a) 'Prints Integer (default)
a = 5!
Debug.Print TypeName(a) 'Prints Single
Try something based on:
Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As Range, StrHd As String, s As Long
s = 10
With Selection
Set Rng = .Range
Set Rng = Rng.GoTo(What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="\HeadingLevel")
StrHd = Rng.Paragraphs.First.Range.Text
Do While Right(Rng.Paragraphs.First.Style, 1) > 1
Rng.End = Rng.Start - 1
Set Rng = Rng.GoTo(What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="\HeadingLevel")
With Rng.Paragraphs.First
If Right(.Style, 1) < s Then
s = Right(.Style, 1)
StrHd = .Range.Text & StrHd
End If
End With
Loop
MsgBox StrHd
End With
End Sub
I'm new to VBA and would greatly appreciate some help on a problem.
I have long Word documents where I need to apply standard comments to the same set of keywords, but only in selected sections of the document. The following macro worked to find a keyword and apply a comment (from question here https://superuser.com/questions/547710/macro-to-insert-comment-bubbles-in-microsoft-word):
Sub label_items()
'
' label_items Macro
'
'
Do While Selection.Find.Execute("keyword1") = True
ActiveDocument.Comments.Add range:=Selection.range, Text:="comment for keyword 1"
Loop
End Sub
The two modifications are:
1) only apply the comments to user selected text, not the whole document. I tried a "With Selection.Range.Find" approach but I don't think comments can be added this way (??)
2) repeat this for 20+ keywords in the selected text. The keywords aren't totally standard and have names like P_1HAI10, P_1HAI20, P_2HAI60, P_HFS10, etc.
EDIT: I have tried to combine code from similar questions ( Word VBA: finding a set of words and inserting predefined comments and Word macro, storing the current selection (VBA)) but my current attempt (below) only runs for the first keyword and comment and runs over the entire document, not just the text I have highlighted/selected.
Sub label_items()
'
' label_items Macro
'
Dim selbkup As range
Set selbkup = ActiveDocument.range(Selection.range.Start, Selection.range.End)
Set range = selbkup
Do While range.Find.Execute("keyword 1") = True
ActiveDocument.Comments.Add range, "comment for keyword 1"
Loop
Set range = selbkup
Do While range.Find.Execute("keyword 2") = True
ActiveDocument.Comments.Add range, "comment for keyword 2"
Loop
'I would repeat this process for all of my keywords
End Sub
I've combed through previous questions and the Office Dev Center and am stuck. Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated!
It's a matter of adding a loop and a means of Finding the next keyword you're looking for. There are a few suggestions in the code example below, so please adjust it as necessary to fit your requirements.
Option Explicit
Sub label_items()
Dim myDoc As Document
Dim targetRange As Range
Set myDoc = ActiveDocument
Set targetRange = Selection.Range
'--- drop a bookmark to return the cursor to it's original location
Const RETURN_BM = "OrigCursorLoc"
myDoc.Bookmarks.Add Name:=RETURN_BM, Range:=Selection.Range
'--- if nothing is selected, then search the whole document
If Selection.Start = Selection.End Then
Selection.Start = 0
targetRange.Start = 0
targetRange.End = myDoc.Range.End
End If
'--- build list of keywords to search
Dim keywords() As String
keywords = Split("SMS,HTTP,SMTP", ",", , vbTextCompare)
'--- search for all keywords within the user selected range
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To UBound(keywords)
'--- set the cursor back to the beginning of the
' originally selected range
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=RETURN_BM
Do
With Selection.Find
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Text = keywords(i)
.Execute
If .Found Then
If (Selection.Start < targetRange.End) Then
Selection.Comments.Add Selection.Range, _
Text:="Found the " & keywords(i) & " keyword"
Else
Exit Do
End If
Else
Exit Do
End If
End With
Loop
Next i
'--- set the cursor back to the beginning of the
' originally selected range
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=RETURN_BM
End Sub
