  • 1. Hyperlinks in word that will drag and drop to desktop
    I cannot insert a hyperlink into a Word 2003 document that I can send to others and that they can then drag and drop to desktop. Everytime I try, it asks them if they want to "save the art", or it just drags it in scrap format. Either way, it will not open the hyperlink from the desktop. How can I get a "drag and dropable" hyperlink into a doc? Thanks in advance!

  • 3. How do I enforce group templates in Word 2007
    We have our own company templates and want to ensure these are used by all employees. However, all the New buttons that allow choice of template seem to enforce the display, and allow the selection of, standard Microsoft templates. Is there any way to prevent these being displayed?
  • 4. 2 different Word document Icons using Microsoft Office 2008 for Ma
    I have a Apple Mac computer in which I installed 2008 Microsoft Office for Home. When saving document / files, I never know which icon will show up on my desktop or in my file. One icon is the normal piece of paper w/the blue "a" in the center and the upper right corner folded over, and the other icon is a white piece of paper showing black writing across the page, and the upper right corner folded over. I was told by a Microsoft tech that the icon without the blue "a' is not the correct icon, and blamed the problem on my operating system. Can anyone explain what is happening and how to correct it?
  • 5. Shortcut Keys do not work
    Hi I got Office Enterprise 2007 and everything else seem to be working fine except for Microsoft Word. The problem is quite fundamental whereby most of the usual shortcut keys do not work; such as CTRL C, CTRL A, CTRL V, CTRL Z, etc. This arose (or maybe I just noticed) after I enabled Arabic keyboard in words. As a result I need to right click everytime I need to execute those commands. This is very annoying and time consuming. I've tried to perform 'repair' by using the setup CD but this does not solve the problem. Any advice from the expert.

How Do I Determine Type of Graphic?

I use Office 200s.  Is there anyway to determine the type of graphic (.jpg, 
.bmp, etc) that is inserted in a Word or PowerPoint doc?
Also, when pasting a graphic into Word (2003) why does sometimes the graphic 
displays immediately and another will have up to a 30 second delay before 
displaying?
AND, while we're on the subject, is there anyway to change the Paste default 
type for graphics?  I'm not sure what it is as I don't know how to tell the 
graphic type, but when I go to Paste Special HTML is always the default 
choice.

Once the graphic is inserted, it is a WMF regardless of the format it had 
before insertion.The quality and size of the WMF is determined in part by 
the format of the source graphic, and in part by any modifications you might 
have made after insertion.

The speed issue is worst if the graphic was inserted using copy and paste: 
if you copied directly from a graphics application, what you have in Word is 
not a simple graphic but an application object. So when you activate the 
graphic in Word you're actually starting in instance of the graphic 
application.


To improve the quality of the graphics and Word's performance in dealing 
with them:

1. Prepare the graphic in a graphics application, setting the size and 
resolution you want to end up with in Word.

2. Save the graphic as a file (GIF or JPG depending on graphic type)

3. Import the graphic into Word using Insert > Picture > From File

4. Make no changes to the graphic after insertion.

Hi Jezebel,
In the past I have had to try to insert company logos into Word 2002.  
Usually I have had problems getting a decent resolution/file size (partly 
because I only had available the Windows default graphics application eg. 
Paintbrush).
The best solution I could find was to insert the larger, high resolution bmp 
into Word, and then, in order to reduce the file size, Cut and Paste Special 
as a different file type from *within Word*. GIF or PNG seemed to have the 
best results.

Would this cause the slow speed problems you are referring to?

Cheers,
Caroline.

Not something I'd make dogmatic assertions about either way, other than to 
say that Word is REALLY BAD at manipulating graphics. Actually doubt it 
would cause speed problems, but it is likely to cause file bloat.

There are plenty of free graphics apps around these days (MS Imaging, or the 
built-ins that come with scanners and digital cameras.)

'd agree with the comment about Word being terrible about manipulating
graphics. The method I used was mainly because I was desperate to get a logo
down to a small file size without it becoming impossible fuzzy. It seemed to
work, and we never found any file bloat when the file was used in production
(this was a letterhead of course, so there was a lot of that). But if I have
to do it again, I might post to the graphics group and see what solutions
they come up with.

Cheers,
Caroline.

4.Determine type of OLE Control Object 

I'm trying to determine how I can identify the type (textbox, label, 
checkbox, listbox, combobox, ...) of an OLE Control Object that is on a 
slide, programatically.

I want to be able to click on a shape in design view, then run a macro that 
will tell me the type of a OLE Control object I have selected.  Then, if it 
is one that has a Text property, I want to display that.  If it has a 
caption property, I want to display that.  If it has a list of items 
(listbox or combo box), I would like to display the text associated with 
each of the items.

I've got some rudimentary code that handles the ones with captions and 
textboxes, but have not figured out how to iterate through the items in the 
list of a combo or listbox.  I know it has to be something like:

oShp.OLEFormat.Object.????????

5.HOWTO: Determine Application Type 

I tried to find this out today, but couldn't find any answered posts (it's 
been asked numerous times!

In the OnConnection method:

if( application is Interop.Excel.Application )
{
    MessageBox.Show("Excel Application");
}
else if( application is Interop.Access.Application )
{
   MessageBox.Show("Access Application");
}

You need to reference Interop.Excel, Interop.Access and System.Windows.Forms 
for this example.
