MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2007Business Card Templates
I downloaded some Avery business card templates. The single file downloads as a ".doc" file. It adds a new ribbon item called "Avery Template". The page contains what I think are fields but I can't seem to display them or modify them. There does not appear to be any macros inside the file although I know there are since the new buttons on the ribbon don't work unless you enable macros. I want to change the template and modify the buttons but I can't figure out how this document is working. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank You With the Avery doc open, did you try to look at the field code by pressing the keys ALT/F9 (function key)? And if they loaded any macros, you can run them by the menu Tools/Macro/Macros... Or maybe they added a new menu or toolbar button. Did you read the instructions at the download site? > I downloaded some Avery business card templates. The single file downloads as > a ".doc" file.

However, the Avery buggers password protected the code so I cannot see what they did and cannot modify it. So, I think I'm screwed if I want to use the Avery template as something to use as a base for my own modifications. I still don't know how they change the fields given that Alt-F9 doesn't show any fields...

But if I click on the Developer Tab and then click on "Visual Basic", I get to the VBA editor. In there, there is a "AveryWord2007Template" project which is password protected. I'm sure if I could see that, I could figure out exactly what they are doing but it seems they want to protect a few lines of basic... > If they sent you a .dot template file, then you may have to File/'Open' the > ..dot file itself in word, to see the macro code.

It didn't have any macros. I was able to manipulate the autoshapes within each card. http://www.avery.com/us/downloads/templates/predesigned/c_2208_us0_biz_cards _10psht.doc What link did you use? > It is a ".doc" file.

I downloaded the following templates for Office 2007: http://www.avery.com/us/software/download_template_predesigned.jsp?catalogcode=W EB01&downloadfile=/us/software/download_template_predesigned.jsp&softwarecode=13 610&campaignid=21130&software=Pre-Designed%2520Templates&file=/us/downloads/temp lates/predesigned/c_2563_us0_bizcard_10psht_frt.docm I enable macros when I open this file. All ok. It adds a new ribbon tab called "Avery Template". I use the "All Cards the Same" button. All is fine. Their template works fine. But what I wanted was to change the "All Cards the Same" dialog to rename fields and move things around on the page. Can't seem to do this since they apparantly locked the VBA code for this file. Also, when I view the file, I can't figure out what they are using as placeholders for each field. If I had an idea, I could simply rewrite some of the code from scratch. While I'm on the subject, is there some sample code out there which shows how Avery achieved this nice extension to Office 2007 ? I mean how they automatically attach themselves to the Ribbon when the document is opened? Thanks, Pierre > Pierre, > I downloaded this file by itself. It opened with no macro warning.

If all you want to do is edit the content of the cards whilst maintaining the same general format, edit the first cell then use the macro at http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm to transfer the changes to all the other cells. The macros are superfluous.
