I'm trying to disable the "Word Options" button in microsoft word 2003. We have 350 machines and need to have them be configured alike. I have setup a template and push it down when the pc restarts, but there are settings that are not in the template that can be changed. I need to implement this very urgently, to make sure that users ar...
I'm using Microsoft Office 2003 and creating a bunch of template documents to standardize some tasks. I asked this on Superuser.com and got no response so I'm thinking it's too program-y and hoping I'll have better luck here.

I need to add basic password protection to an Open XML Wordprocessing document. I can either use the COM interface, which is very slow when I have a large number of documents to process; or I can put the data directly in the docx file under <w:settings> <w:documentProtection> which is very fast. However, looking at the requirements to en...

I have a Word 2003 document saved as a XML in WordProcessingML format. It contains few placeholders which will be dynamically replaced by an appropriate content. But, the problem is that Word seemingly randomly splits them in the separate words. For example, instead of this: <w:t>${dl.d.out.ecs_rev}</w:t> I have this: ... <w:t>${</w:...

I need to print 20,000 Word documents. Naturally this is a logistical nightmare. For example: if the power goes out, I need some software that will be able to resume where the printing failed. Also, this is something that needs to be done once a month by our client. Do I have to write my own code to manage this? (Word Automation) Or do...
I have a Word add-in I wrote using .NET. The add-in basically processes a Word document which is configured for MailMerge and extracts the data from the data source. I need to know which encoding Word uses to access that data source. When I use a datasource (CSV for example) that is not encoded with my default system locale, Word alerts...

I have cursed that decision ever since.... What I have is some VBA th...

Hi all, I'm currently using Microsoft CRM4 Mail merge function, which stores Word files as XML files inside CRM. My client has a requirement to prompt the user for more information (not found in CRM) upon mail merging. Previously, we used the Word 'FILLIN' commands, but it does not work with CRM mail merge as it only prompts the use...
It's always hard for me to understandably (especially in English which isn't my first language) explain, what my problem is, so I'm sorry in advance for intricacy or excessive triviality ;). What I need to do is to 'parse' Word XML document in a specific way. The document converted to xml has some parts that will be put between some fix...
