MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004Using insertfile for documents with customized outline numbering
Hi. Need help. I have a template with macro VBA code in it that does the following -- Selection.InsertFile FileName:="\\server\share\folder\EXAMPLE.DOC", _ Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak For a list of documents in an array. Problem: I am having problems with certain documents showing their custom "Outline Numbering" after the insertfile is finished. Hanashi_Aru was telling us: Hanashi_Aru nous racontait que : > Hi.

And I have a problem understanding your problem! Can you be a bit more explicit and describe the result and the expected behaviour?  SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thank you for your reply Jean-Guy. What I want to have happen is something like this: If the document has the following outline numbering used, I want it to appear in the file where insertfile was used (There should be an indentation at level 2.) 1. This is level 1. a. This is level 2, first line. b. This is level 2, second line. The result of the problem is something like: This is level 1. This is level 2, first line. This is level 2, second line. > Hanashi_Aru was telling us: > Hanashi_Aru nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Can you be a bit more explicit and describe the result and the expected > behaviour?

Numbered lists are a real can of worms, especially when moving them between documents. Using just the code you provided I could not reproduce your problem on Word 2003. What is your Word version? Sometimes this can be fixed by doing a paragraph reset on the inserted text (CTRL-Q after having selected the problem text, or, in VBA: Selection.Paragraphs.Reset). But mostly, it really depends on how the outline list was created and if styles are involved or not. SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thanks. Ctrl-Q works a little, but I still have to go in and adjust the levels.= by indenting. I am using Word 2002. But the problem was discovered with Word 2000. The custom outline numbering was based on one of the standard ones from the outline numbering template list. I called this custom outline numbering BSList. > Hanashi_Aru was telling us: > Hanashi_Aru nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Selection.Paragraphs.Reset).

That you lose the numbers is "normal"(I mean it has been seen and is expected behaviour) with Word when paragraphs are moved from one document to another. Make sure you set up your styles as outlined in this article. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thanks so much for replies. We'll leave it at that for this subject. From my personal experience, there seems to be a few too many things that have to be considered when using insertfile. With that, I changed the code to use documents.open, as a starting point. Have more documents opening, but at least the outline numbering and everthing else is preserved. > Hanashi_Aru was telling us: > Hanashi_Aru nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Make sure you set up your styles as outlined in this article. > http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html
