MS Word application find and replace

[stersergiu]

Hello,
I want integrate from vba to QM a "find and replace" macro recorded in ms word vba.

Code:

Copy      Help

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 27.04.2014 by Sergiu
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "x1"
        .Replacement.Text = "test"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
End Sub

I haven't found anything that could be helpful.

Thanks

a.Run("Macro1")

Is there any way to connect to ms word like excel and run my macro step by step;

for excel is :
ExcelSheet es1.Init
Excel.Application app=es1.ws.application
and then run macros with app.selection.find


Isn't there a way to run Word.Application a._getactive , and then simply translate my macro in QM
a.Selection.Find.ClearFormatting and so on ... ?

This Word macro is easy to convert. Not tested.

Hi Gintaras,

Is it possible that I create a macro in which
I open a word document then calling macro2254 right after that?

[Gintaras]

Which of the macros (macro and macro2254) is a QM macro and which is an Excel macro?

[lionking]

I mean this macro:
Macro Macro2254 ?
;/exe 1
typelib Word {00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 8.0
Word.Application a._getactive ;;connect to Word. On Vista/7, macro process must run as User. QM normally runs as Admin. The /exe 1 tells QM to run the macro in separate process, as User.
a.Run("Macro1")

Don't need 2 macros.

Hi Gintaras,
I found out that in Macro 2354, it did run the macro1 on the specified file but it open the doc file in a new document and not in the current doc file. So you end up having 2 separated files. I tweak it a litte bit to have it open the specified document only therefore the macro1 will be applied to the right document.

;run Word and open file
typelib Word {00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 8.0
Word.Application app._create
app.Visible = TRUE
Word.Documents docs=app.Documents
VARIANT d=_s.expandpath("$documents$\My Best Story.docx")
;Word.Document doc=docs.Add(d)
Word.Document doc=docs.Open(d)
;run a Word macro
app.Run("Macro1")

On the same token in Macro 2351, it did apply the macro1 on the new document but not on the current document.
so I ended up by just calling like its original version

;VARIANT d=_s.expandpath("$documents$\My Best Story.docx")
;Word.Document doc=docs.Add(d)
;act "Word"
;doc.Activate
;run a Word macro
app.Run("Macro1")

Thanks a lot for your quick responses.
