Hi,
I am having issue with style and formatting in word 2002. What i was trying
to do is to create a template that would generate a standardized report. By
standardized i mean it includes the standard style, font size and other
settings.
Anyway, i call that template a report template. In this report, i have a
several macros button appear on the top menu bar.
We have three kind of reports we would like to generate from this "report
template". None of them have the header/footer. The only difference between
them is the style
With first report
- Let us say the title of the heading is Introduction. Hence, when macro1 is
run, it shows as below in the report
Introduction
With second report, macro2
When macro2 is hit, it generates as below
1. Introduction
With third report, macro3
macro3 will show as below
Chapter 1 Introduction
So these are the differences among the three reports. Now, what i have done
is i have created three templates with three different styles respetively.
For the first template, it has the first report with the properties as follows
Name: MyHeading1
Style based on: (no style)
Style for following paragraph: Normal
Garamond, 16 size of font, Bold, black color
The second has the second report with the following style properties
Name: My1Heading1 ( I call it 1Heading1 simply because it starts with number
1 at the front)
Style based on: (no style)
Style for following paragraph: Normal
Garamond, 16 size of font, Bold, black color
The third has the third report with the following style properties
Name: MyC1Heading1 ( I call it C1Heading1 simply because it starts with
Chapter 1 at the front)
Style based on: (no style)
Style for following paragraph: Normal
Garamond, 16 size of font, Bold, black color
Then, I inserted them to autotexts with Look in "Normal.dot"
The problem i have is that when i run macro1. It is supposed to produce a
report with just the Heading1 (e.g. Introduction) but instead, it shows the
My1Heading1 (e.g. 1. Introduction). And when i noticed in the Style and
Formatting, it added 1 in the front of My1Heading1 such as "1 My1Heading1".
I think word detects the similarity between them and assume they are the
same and adds 1 as another copy of the same style. What i do not understand
is that why it is doing that when i call them each with different name.
The following codes i use to insert autotext via VBA
'Call autotext My1Heading1
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("My1Heading1").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True
With ActiveDocument
..Fields.Update
..PrintPreview
..ClosePrintPreview
End With
I wonder if anyone would like to share with me way of working around this
issue.
Thank you in advance
