I would like to know if there is a way to create hyperlinks from a text in bulk.
I have the following text:
www. abc .com/pictures/T_1.jpg
www. abc. com/pictures/T_2.jpg
www. abc. com/pictures/T_3.jpg
www. abc. com/pictures/T_4.jpg
Each text is a link in its own right, but if I select all and press Ctrl+K, I cannot create a hyperlink that takes the text as a weblink. I can do it one by one. If I select any of the text and press Ctrl+K, it'll give me www.abc.com/pictures/T_1.jpg as the web address for that link, but not in bulk. How to do it?
Note: spaces in the links to avoid posting errors.
Please try this,
Paste links in word and separate them by a paragraph,
Select the links and Insert -> Table -> Convert to Table,
View -> Macros -> View Macros and create the following macro named BH
Sub BH()
Dim Rng As Range, TblCell As Cell, StrTxt As String
With Selection
If .Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then Exit Sub
For Each TblCell In .Cells
Set Rng = TblCell.Range
With Rng
.End = .End - 1
StrTxt = .Text
.Text = ""
End With
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Rng, _
Address:="Address", SubAddress:="SubAddress", _
ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:=StrTxt, Target:="_blank"
Next
End With
End Sub
For what you have described:
Sub ConvertURLTextsToHyperlinksInDoc()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = "[wh][wt][wtps]{1,3}[./][!^13^t^l ^s]{1,}"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Format = False
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.MatchWildcards = True
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
If .Characters.Last Like "[:;.,(?)!})]" Then .End = .End - 1
.Hyperlinks.Add .Duplicate, .Text, , , .Text
.Start = .Hyperlinks(1).Range.End
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The text you posted, though, does not include valid URLs - there are spaces either side of abc...
I learning how to use Microsoft Word wildcards and codes to help me in my position as a medical editor. A big part of my job is submitting manuscripts to medical journals for review, and each journal has very specific requirements.
Most of the journals we submit manuscripts to require that medical terms/phrases be abbreviated only if they are used three or more times. For example, the term “Overall Survival” can be abbreviated to OS if the term is referenced at least three times in the text. If the text only mentions “Overall Survival” once or twice, it is preferred that the term remain expanded, and it should not be abbreviated to OS.
We have been using the PerfectIt system, by Intelligent Editing. This Word widget scans for abbreviations that are only used once and will flag them for our review, but does not pick up if an abbreviation is only used twice in the selected text. We are hoping to find some solution (my thought would be some sort of wildcard search or macro) that will be able to detect if an abbreviation is used only one or two times.
I saw this similar post on stackoverflow, but it seemed to do with code. I will need this to be on a company computer that I do not have administrative access to, and furthermore, I know nothing about code. I appreciate any help, guidance, or directions for further research!
Thank you!
Edit: I could use a wildcard search to make all of the two+ capitalized letters highlighted by using <[A-Z]{2,}>, then formatting them as highlighted, if this would help with any macros.
For any given abbreviation, you could use a macro like:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = InputBox("What is the Text to Find")
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
i = i + 1
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox i & " instances found."
End Sub
For PC macro installation & usage instructions, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
For Mac macro installation & usage instructions, see: https://wordmvp.com/Mac/InstallMacro.html
Provided there's at least one occurrence of the abbreviation in parens you could use a macro like the following. The macro checks the contents of a document for upper-case/numeric parenthetic abbreviations it then looks backwards to try to determine what term they abbreviate. For example:
World Wide Web (WWW)
Naturally, given the range of acronyms in use, it’s not foolproof and, if a match isn’t made, the preceding sentence (in VBA terms) is captured so the user can edit the output. A table is then built at the end of the document, which is then searched for all references to the acronym (other than for the definition) and the counts and page numbers added to the table.
Note that the macro won't tell you how many times 'World Wide Web' appears in the document, though. After all, given your criteria, it's impossible to know what terms should have been reduced to an acronym but weren't.

I would like to filter results at sheet and create Listbox with this result,
this code works on listbox on sheet but not works on form, any idea ?
Sub MyListBox()
Dim rng As Range
Dim vArr As Variant
Dim ListBox1 As Object ---> this works on sheet but not works on form
Dim x As Single
Dim y As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set rng = Range("TestMaterial")
Set ListBox1 = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object ---> this works on sheet but not works on form
rng.AutoFilter field:=13, Criteria1:=y
rng.AutoFilter field:=12, Criteria1:=x
Worksheets.Add
rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Range("a1")

I found this code but this creates new listbox but do not fill listbox with data, only headers, could not find what is incorrect and how can I fill existing listbox with this code ?

try the following code for the "Userform" case:

as you can see, I refactored your code and split in more little bits you can more easily handle and both enhance and maintain your code
I have a .txt file that needs to be cleaned up. It needs to have a page break before the word "Individual" on every page. It also needs to be Courier New 8.5pts, top and bottom margin of 0.5in, left and right margin of 1in. I modified another script I found (shown below) and it almost gets me there. the problem is there is some unneeded text before "Individual", which is the number 1 followed by several spaces and 3 carraige returns. I need to delete this text. Below is the script as it is currently:
Sub InsertPageBeforeDate()

I have about 40 workbooks with 1000+ columns and near 1 million records.
Unfortunately, most of the data was imported as a text format, and I am trying to convert particular columns to a number format.
Aside from manually editing every file using the paste special > multiply technique, is there a way to macro this so that it would iterate through all the excel files in a particular folder?
You know the columns and numbers to change. You can record a macro of that and insert it into this basic DIR() technique:
Option Explicit
Sub LoopThroughFolder()
Dim fPATH As String, fNAME As String
Dim wb As Workbook
fPATH = "C:\Path\To\My\Files\" 'remember the final \
fNAME = Dir(fPATH & "*.xl*") 'get first filename from fPATH
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'speed up execution
Do While Len(fNAME) > 0
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fPATH & fNAME)
'your code here to format that activesheet
wb.Close True 'save and close the edited file
fNAME = Dir 'get the next filename
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Option Compare Database

Set xls = CreateObject("EXCEL.APPLICATION")
xls.screenupdating = False
xls.displayalerts = False
xls.Visible = True
xls.workbooks.Open filepath
Set xlsdd = xls.ActiveWorkbook
'deleting headers
xls.Range("1:1").Select
xls.Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
'adding one column
xls.Columns("A:A").Select
xls.Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
'adding 5 rows
'ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Select
xls.Rows("1:5").Insert Shift:=xlDown
' fetching rows from access and putting them into excel
' strsql = "select top 5 " & sheetname & ".* into top5_records from " & sheetname
' DoCmd.RunSQL strsql
' outputFileName = "C:\Users\hp\Desktop\top5_records.xls"
' DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "top5_records", outputFileName, True
'then open that excel and copy the rows
Set xls2 = CreateObject("EXCEL.APPLICATION")
xls2.screenupdating = False
xls2.displayalerts = False
xls2.Visible = True
xls2.workbooks.Open sheetpath
