Word 2003 docs - 'wings' - getting rid of permanently

[Graham Mayor]

The article I referred to is one I wrote myself. Approximately 1300 people a
month view that page - and only rarely has anyone provided any feedback to
the effect that it is difficult to understand. Where the criticism has been
valid, I have made changes to cover those criticisms. I have also recently
added alternative illustration to show where Word 2007 differs from the
earlier versions.

I said in my original reply

"add the line
Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False
to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in the normal template."

I then pointed you to my web page where autonew and autoopen macros are
explained as well as how to implement the use of vba code posted in
newsgroup forums.

I also have a page on my web site explaining how to use Norton Ghost in
pictures that a child should be able to understand. Hopefully mine was not
the page you were referring to

Graham,

See my effort below, which constitutes a description of the process I have
gone through on my PC, which I would find pretty fail-safe. Images of the
program I find double-edged: they can be helpful, but if they don't match
exactly what I see on the screen as I go through, I get anxious that maybe
you are talking about a different version of the program or I am not using
mine correctly. So I tend to mistrust images. A talk-through I find
better. A talk-through and images might be better. Your call

Open Word

Click on Tools/Macro - then on Macros

This brings up a box headed 'Macros''

In that box, at the top, where it says 'Macro' name, a name will already be
there. You have to delete that in readiness to put in the new name, (as to
which, see below). To do this, select the name and click the 'delete'
button on your keyboard.

In the name space that is now empty type the word 'autoopen' (no hyphen)
(nothing you are asked in this guide to type in is typed in including the
quotation marks: they are there to tell you these are the words to be typed
in)

Towards the bottom of the Macros box, right click on 'Macros in.' This
brings up a drop-down menu. In that menu, click on 'Normal.dot (global
template)'.

To the right of the box, click on 'Create'

The box then disappears and the macro editor appears, which is headed
'Microsoft Visual Basic - Normal'. This is in two sections, the one on the
right being the editing box. This will have lines of text already in it

Within this editing box, above the line that says 'End sub', type in the
line

'Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False'

In the toolbar at top of the editor, click on the 'Save' symbol

In the same toolbar, click on 'File' and then 'Close and return to Microsoft
Word'

You are now finished

 

[Graham Mayor]

OK, I will take another look at it

I now find that when I open a Word doc (but not Word), the first thing I get
is the macro editor, with the error message:

"compile error

invalid outside procedure"

on top of the lines in the editor:

"Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False

Sub AddTBMenuItem()
'
' AddTBMenuItem Macro
' Macro created 13/07/2007 by malcolm harrison
'

End Sub
Sub Autoopen()
'
' Autoopen Macro
' Macro created 14/07/2007 by malcolm harrison
'
Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False

End Sub
Sub Autonew()
'
' Autonew Macro
' Macro created 14/07/2007 by malcolm harrison
'
Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False

End Sub
Sub AddTBToolbarItem()
'
' AddTBToolbarItem Macro
' Macro created 14/07/2007 by malcolm harrison
'

End Sub"

Please advise further. Thanks

Delete the line

Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False

before

Sub AddTBMenuItem()

as it is outside of a procedure (Sub - End Sub)

Thanks, Doug. This appears to have done the trick.

FWIW, I refer people to http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm so often
that I don't even have to look it up; I know it by heart. There is only one
more such link, namely

I checked the page and all the issues raised were already covered, however I
have amended some parts to further aid clarification.
