Office Word Programming >> Automating a Repetative Document

by Kaye » Tue, 27 Feb 2007 12:57:34 GMT

Hi,

I'm after some direction. My small tourist business creates a 1 page
document for display every day. We use Word 2002.

We cut and paste ....
- A weather chart (.gif image) from the web, and
- A text weather forecast from the web
.. and place it on a document with our letterhead.

Can this daily task be automated in some way? Ideally we would love
to have this document "dynamically" linked somehow to display the
.gif and text file.

Any advise/direction would be greatfull.

Regards
Kaye

1. Repetative Installer Launch 

I have several Dell OptiPlex 200 PCs, running Windows 
2000 Professional, that have a problem launching HELP 
from MS Office applications.  Each time a 'user' tries to 
open HELP, the installer starts to run and will loop 
continuously.

We have tried reinstalling Office XP Professional, 
reimaging the PCs using Symantec Ghost, reimaging from 
CD, updating BIOS settings without success.  The GHOST 
image will run successfully on other systems (Dell 
Dimension 4100, 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600), but not the 
OPTIPLEX 200.

Any ideas?

7. Creating automated word documents from info on Excel. 

Hi All,

Please help me to achieve the folllowing:

I would like to set up a working arrangment between excel and word where I 
can get information that has been entered onto a row in a sheet to be 
replicated onto specific zones on the word document.

My situation is like this. I have a spreadsheet that is a log of jobs. Each 
row represents one job.  The columns have headings like Job nr,  Account 
number, account name etc. 

In my documents I have a folder for each individual job. i.e Row 1 = Job 1 = 
folder named job 1 on my computer.   

When I begin a new job, I would like excel to automatically open the 
required word document, at the start the word document will be generic for 
each job. As I enter the job nr, account nr and other information in 
respective cells excel should replicate this into the job nr spaceon the word 
doc and so on. The word doc will then be saves as doc 1 into a new folder 
named after the job nr to be sent to a client at a later stage. 

Is this possible and how do I go about it? 

Many thanks for your time and best wishes
