MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2005Problem with wdDoNotSaveChanges
I keep getting a "do you want to save changes" even though I'm using ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges if ActiveDocument contains an image (such as a logo). I get the same behaviour in different documents with different images. Anybody have any idea why this would happen and how I can avoid it? Thanks in advance... Hi Chuck, I suppose if you open the document in read only mode while you opening it then I suppose you might not get the message. Any way if you can be more clear on the purpose of opening the document it would be more clear. Any way hope this was helpful Anand The document is a template. The user is presented with a user form with a cancel button. If the user clicks cancel the form unloads and the document closes. The code uses a document object, ie "doc.close wdDoNotSaveChanges" but I've tested the method on other documents using ActiveDocument.Close and get the same behaviour. Note that the code is not the issue - the same code works fine with templates that don't have embedded images. The question isn't document specific. I'd like to find out why *any* document with an image (actually a Shape) seems to generate a "do you want to save changes" dialog regardless of being closed with .Close wdDoNotSaveChanges -- and how to avoid that behaviour. > Hi Chuck, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Anand Hi Chuck, I created a document with a user form with a cancle button and inserted a auto shape too in the document and made it a temple, but I am not getting the dialog box.

The problem has to do with the kind of picture it is (Shape, not InlineShape). Does anyone have any idea why trying to use wdDoNotSaveChanges with a document that contains a Shape (*not* an InlineShape) would trigger a message asking whether you want to save changes? To reproduce the problem: 1. insert a picture from a file into a document 2. right click on the picture 3. choose Format Picture from the popup menu 4. click on the layout tab and make sure the Wrapping Style on the Layout tab is *not* "In line with text" 5. click OK on the Format Picture dialog 6. save and close the document 7. open the document and run the following sub Sub CloseNoChangeTest() ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub > Hi Chuck, > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > > > Anand Hi Chuck, I did exactly as you said and called the sub in command button click, and didn't get any message box. I put that code in the cancle button of the user form also but the message box didn't show up. If you can just tell in which event you calling the code, it might be helpful. Thanks for trying and I don't understand why you're not getting the results I'm getting because I tested the steps I outlined repeatedly. The only code necessary to reproduce the behaviour is the single line of code that I provided -- so posting more code won't be helpful. Did you make sure that the image is not in-line? That's the crucial point, not where the code is called from (ie it doesn't matter whether you run the single line Activedocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges from a button on a form or from Tools>Macros or from within the VBE. I'm working in Word 2000 SP3 on Win 2000. > Hi Chuck, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > If you can just tell in which event you calling the code, it might be helpful. Hi Chuck, I made sure that the image is not in-line. Could it be the way word is handling the images?

By the way, I don't need code to reproduce the problem - if I simply close the document with an image (NOT an inline image but with wrapping style set to anything but inline) then I get the "do you want to save changes" message box, even though I've not made any keystrokes; if the image is inline however, I don't get the message box. So it's definitely a code issue but a Word/Shape issue. I'll be switching discussion groups on this issue from now on. > Hi Chuck, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > If you can just tell in which event you calling the code, it might be helpful. Hi Chuck, Hope you can get a solution for you problem. All the best.
