Customize document type filter in wdFileOpen Dialog
Hi, is there a way to customize which file types are displayed in the
drop-down list of Word's built-in file open dialog?
I am writing an application in which I need to restrict the selection of a
file to Word templates only (*.dot, *.dotm)
The dialog does not appear to expose a Filter property, like the
CommonFileDialog.
Many thanks...

Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed
Hi everyone,
I have a modal userform that contains a button (among other controls). When
a user clicks this button, another, modeless userform (frmHelp) should be
displayed that contains information about the first form. It would be nice if
users were able to access the first form while this information is still
shown - hence the choice for modeless display.
Clicking the button resul...

odd behavior from .Find in 2003
Hi all,
I'm using the .find method of a range object to locate highlighted text.
I have a document with highlighted text, which does not open showing that
it's damaged in any way, yet the .find acts differently with this document,
and I'd like to know if there's an unusual circumstance here I can program
around, or if this is undetected corruption.
Normally the range object is reset...

Change path to template when upgrading from Word 97 to 2003
I have a few questions regarding a upgrade from Word 97 to 2003.

I'm going to upgrade from Office 97 to Office 2003 and there are some
VBA related errors that occurs when opening the doc files. The VBA

Macro error on first run, works thereafter (mail merge 2003)
This is a really weird one.
In Word 2002 my merge macro worked fine. In 2003 I get a "window currently

Now the really weird thing is, if I ensure NOTHING (including the Document1
window) is open, and run the script it works fine. Every merge thereafter
(whether a document is open or not) also works fine. It is just the FIRST
merge.
Can anyone point me in the right ...

Reading the type of content in the clipboard.
Is their a way to “read†the type of content in the clipboard?
The output of the macros should be one of the following:
The clipboard contains formatted text
The clipboard contains a MS Excel range
The clipboard contains a MS Excel Graph
The clipboard contains a Bitmap picture
And so on….
The idea is to "interpret" the content of the clipboard before it is pasted

Copying document layout settings and stop list numbers propogating
