Hi Carl,

I am not sure what type of lines you are talking about.

Maybe if you show us the code of your macro we can see what it is doing and
what can be done about it.

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps

Is this your code you tried?

Application.ScreenRefresh
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

If so, then next you can try turning off background
pagnation:

Options.Pagination = False

Make sure you trap what the user was using before you turn
it off and Re-set it back to the user's preference when
you're done.

My Application is to big! and i meen Big
more than 15 themplates using a library of macro!
use by 300 people every day!
Every thing works fine, but it's those lines that i don't
like.
they appear when, for example i am sorting information in
a document, the document is going up and down like crazy
while searching and this is where the line apear, only
while searching through the document. And it's stop after.

so i use Application.ScreenUpdating = False
before my search begin's, and Application.ScreenUpdating =
True after.
this accelerate my application but doesn't help for the
line.

Carl,

Looks like the same probles as when you have a document with several pages
and copying between formfields. If you have formfields on page 1 that needs
to be copied to formfields on several following pages the screen turns havoc
(Screenupdating=False). This is confirmed by Microsoft and no solution
available. The way solved the problem was using WordBasic syntax instead and
the screen was totally stable, plus, it was a tremendous speed improvment.
Perhaps you could try to use the WordBasic syntax instead of VBA syntax and
see what happens. We have a number of Tax and Customs forms (Customs forms
can be up to 17 pages) with a lot of calculations between formfields and
there is no way we can use 'Activedocument.FormField()' syntax. It's just to
slow and the screen is jumping up and down and get scrambled. With WordBasic
syntax it's even faster with VBA than using formulas in the FormFields plus
the screen is totally stable.

Regards,
Lars-Eric
