Goal:
Make the country's name to have underline or bold in the textbox. Please rememeber that there are lots of country's name in the list.
Problem:
How should I enable to make the country's name to have underline or bold only?
Information:
The data source is SSAS.
You can do this using Placeholders. To use placeholders in your cell, click on where it shows <<Expr>> so it is highlighted then right-click it and choose Placeholder Properties.... On the General tab select the radio button to activate HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles.
So now we can use HTML tags to highlight sections of the text in the cell. Next we need a function to convert country names so they appear bold.
Create a custom code function to bold the text: from the Report menu, choose Report Properties... and click the Code tab. Enter the following code:
Function BoldCountries(Text As String) As String
return Text.Replace("Australia", "<b>Australia</b>")
End Function
Okay, so that only bolds Australia. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to load a list of country names and iterate through them putting HTML bold tags around the country names.
Finally, go to your field cell and change the expression for the `Value from just the field value to calling this function with the field value:
=Code.BoldCountries(Fields!FieldWithCountryNames.Value)

I have a Word 2010 form template with various text boxes, combo lists and radio buttons. I wish to take the value from one text box and insert it as the value of another text box when a Save button is invoked. I have extracted the value from the source text box with the code below but how do I then insert it as the value of the target text box? I have tried a few things including the reverse of the code below but so far without success.
srp = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("RPI").Item(1).Range.Text
The Range.Text property is read/write. So you use the exact reversal of the code you have.
srp = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("RPI").Item(1).Range.Text ' Read
ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("SRP").Item(1).Range.Text = srp ' Write
So I'm trying to create a conditional dropdown in Word. I've used a Legacy Drop-Down Form Field with multiple options.
What I want to happen is when one of the options is selected from the dropdown (and then I guess you have to Tab to enter it...), the Legacy Text Form Field below, that has a simple default text, should populate with a new string from the case statement.
Things that I've already done/got working:
the drop down is working, and on exit it runs a macro
case statement is written out
the result of the case statement is in a variable (string type), let's call it StringVar
can pull the text form field's text (default text) with ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextBox").Result
What I figure out, however, is how to replace the default text in the already existing Text Form Field with the case statement's string variable text.
I've tried
ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextBox").Result = StringVar
but it doesn't change anything inside the text form field. The default text is still there.
So I can answer my own question after pondering and being hit with an "oh, duh" moment.
I had unprotected the document (ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="") in order to do this:
ActiveDocument.Content.InsertAfter Text:=("This is my text")
because I was wondering if I was grabbing the right string.
Turns out,
ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextBox").Result = StringVar
DOES work. BUT the file has to be protected (filling in forms) for it to replace the string in the text form field. Otherwise, nothing shows up even though the result had indeed been updated. Fancy that.
I don't quite understand the differences between the combobox properties SelText and Text.
If I want to send the content of a combobox as a parameter to another procedure, should I send .text or .selText?
If I want to make enter text into a combobox using a macro, should I write the text in .selText or .Text?
The difference is really given in the name (SelText vs. Text) where Sel stands for Selected. One is used to return or modify the selected text (i.e. SelText) and the other is used to return or modify the entire text (i.e. Text).
If no text is selected in the ComboBox then they return and modify the same value.
I suspect you want to use Text unless you are specifically interested in the selected text.
This appears to be consistent for an ActiveX control on a Worksheet or for a control on a User Form.
I am trying to use a text field in my word template document but I confused which one should I use?!!
which one you recommend?
Rick text
Text
Text Form Field
My second question is how to address these component in Macro? I use below code:
ActiveDocument.FormFields("TextboxName")
Third question is how to set a value to this component in Macro? so many website use .Value but I don't know why I cannot find this field in above component.
Last question is: if I use any form field, a gray shadow exist below my component, how I can remove it? it is even coming in check print.:(
I am using word 2007.
You would add : textFormField.
you would pass value by Me.FormFields("Text1").Result = "abc"
in your controls tab,
somewhere next to the formField control find the "formFieldShadding"
control. when you select that control your gray shadding will
disappear.
I want, depending of the previous choice from the user just let some tab's being seen.
Once i am new in VBA, i start showing all the tab's and after the choice from the user, i remove the tab's that i don't want. For that i am using this line of code
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove "name of the tab"
The problem is, if i don't have the same CAPTION and the NAME field of the tab the tab is not remove.
If anyone have a diferent solution for this or another away to remove without have to change the caption for the same name of NAME field i would be thankful.
Thanks
You can give a page of a multi-page control a different name from the caption in the Properties Window. You can access it from the View menu.
I've highlighed the name of the control in yellow and the caption in aqua.
If the captions are unique, you could use a Select Case statement to get the name, based on the caption. Are users actually typing in the caption of the tabs they want, or selecting from check boxes? In either case, the captions would have to be unique, so you could do something like:
Select Case True
Case Check1.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("kp").Index
Case Check2.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("jp").Index
End Select
That's a bit rough, but is that the general idea?
