MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2005Scroll a Word doc programmatically
I'd like to have a Word doc scrolled to a desired location when user opens it. How can this be done programmatically? Thanks very much for your help.

I even downloaded the Word doc, but it doesn't work. I have Windows XP Professional and Word 2003. The article says "Place selection point at whatever location you want to mark." to test the code. I assume this means moving the mouse to the desired location? Anyway, I tried using the mouse, with and without scrolling, or mving down using the arrow key, and saved the document afterwards, but it didn't go to the last location when I re-opened it. I'd appreciate it if you could help me further. Thanks. Joan Are you allowing macros to run, Joan? Tools-->Macro-->Security, must be medium (preferred) or low. If you aren't allowing the macro to run, nothing will happen. :) ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com > Thanks Anne for the reply.

After I change it to medium, it works! As you can tell, I'm a dummy in VB -- I'm a Java developer and don't know anything about VB programming in Word, but I need to explore and see whether VB can achieve what I need do. I have a web application which launches a Word doc. Depending on user input, I'd like to have the Word doc opened at a desired location automatically. So I guess I need create bookmarks for all key words and when a user opens the doc, one of the bookmarks needs to be selected depending on the value of the input. How can I pass the parameter to Word? Do you think this can be done? If not, let's forget about the web application, how can this be done in Word itself? I greately appreciate your help. Joan Joan, I'm not Anne and I don't know how to do it with a web application, but from within Word you could do it something like this: Sub Document_Open() Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Test" End Sub Where "Test" is one of the named bookmarks.

Public Sub autoopen() Application.OnTime When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"), _ Name:="PlaceMe" End Sub Sub PlaceMe() ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Mark1").Range End Sub Some refinements or error handling possible. Helmut Weber Thanks everyone for your post. The information you provided has been definitely very helpful. So is it possible to pass a parameter to Word somehow? My feeling is that it isn't possible, espeically because in a web application, Word is launched by a browser and I just don't see how any parameter can be set. An alternative for me is to dynamically create the macros. For example, read a plain Word doc (with no macros), create a macro on the fly and then insert it into the original doc. But then I need know how macros are stored in a Word doc. Has anyone done something like this? Where can I find any information related to this? Thanks a lot.

You can have a VB Script on a Web page that will create a Word document. Also, I believe that VB Scripting can read info from the Web page. So, it seems that you could read a field content, store it in a variable, create/open the Word document, and, from within the VB Script run some code passing it the variable you got prior to creating the Word object. In pseudocode: myVar = WebPageControlContent WordDoc = Open Word Document WordDoc.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=myVar SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thanks Jean for the reply. The problem is that my web application is Java (J2EE) based, so I don't think it can execute any code in VBA. Does anyone know how Word stores a macro in a doc? I'm really thinking af programmatically creating the macros and insert them into Word docs. Thanks. Joan |
