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 encounter a real difficulty in tracking changes and updates in the company models.
I research the tool abilities a lot, but still didn't find the golden way that match my requirements of:
Provide indication where was a change
What was the change
Keep the original model state, aside to the up-to-date state
EA offers the following ways:
Baselines
Version Control
Clone
Change Elements
None of them provides indication on what exactly was the change and where.
What is the easiest way to manage the changes effectively?
You forgot the last resort: audit. Turn on auditing and you can get a lot more information. Of course this also has its drawbacks
it uses a lot of space
there are still changes that are not tracked in the detail you might need it.
Turn it on at Project/Auditing. More information here.
Additionally you could think of writing triggers, but I would not recommend that since it makes your repository almost unmaintainable.
Auditing is of course also no silver bullet. Tracking changes is tedious. And personally I would not spend too much effort in this "accusation mode". Better spend your energy in driving the model towards the company goals. Nobody needs yesterday's model.
I wrote some scripts to handle change management in EA.
The idea is that the user links the changed items to a change request element that represents a workitem, project, change request, bug,...
Each link contains the date, user and a comment for the change to that item.
The scripts are part of the open source EA VBScript library:
The main script is the following
'[path=\Projects\Project A\A Scripts]
'[group=Atrias Scripts]
!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-VBScript
!INC Atrias Scripts.Util
' Script Name: LinkToCRMain
' Author: Geert Bellekens
' Purpose: Link Elemnents to a change

I have the code below in a button in my forms in MS Access. The problem is that sometimes not all "strCTRL"s exist. In some forms they do, in some they don't. The whole code is 900+ lines long so I won't post all of it. It's a SQL query which references controls and extracts their value.
The problem comes when not all controls are present, then I get the error: Compile error: Method or data Member not found.
Is there a way to bypass the compile error or tell VBA to compile it only if it exists? I tried If...Nothing and On Error Resume Next, but they don't seem to work. There's also other objects that will not exist on each page, not just the ones below. So...any ideas? =/
Dim strCTRL1 As String
Dim strCTRL2 As String
Dim strCTRL3 As String
Dim strCTRL4 As String
Dim strCTRL5 As String
Dim strCTRL6 As String
Dim strCTRL7 As String
Dim strCTRL8 As String
Dim strCTRL9 As String
Dim strCTRL10 As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
On Error Resume Next
strCTRL1 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Text684.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL2 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label2210.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL3 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label2295.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL4 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label73.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL5 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label160.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL6 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label246.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL7 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label332.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL8 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label417.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL9 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Label506.DefaultValue & " "
strCTRL10 = "[Control Number] = " & Me.Text2285.DefaultValue & " "
You can create an array or list of the label names, then:
Dim LabelName As String
Dim LabelNames As Variant
LabelNames = Array("Text684", "Label2210", ...etc.)
' ...
LabelName = LabelNames(1)
strCTRL1 = "[Control Number] = " & Me(LabelName).DefaultValue & " "
That will compile, though - of course - fail at runtime for non-existing labels.
OK, thanks to #Gustav, you got your code to compile, and his suggestions, combined with On Error Resume Next will get your code to run without errors under any circumstance.
But there is no way to tell if your code is correct, because now, the compiler won't tell you which controls are misnamed or missing.
So instead, I would suggest an array-based approach like this:
Dim Ctl As Access.Control
Dim CtlValues() As String
Dim i as Long
i = 0
ReDim CtlValues 1 To Me.Controls.Count
For Each Ctl In Me.Controls
If Ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
i = i + 1
CtlValues(i) = "[Control Number] = " & CStr(Nz(Ctl.DefaultValue, "Null"))
End If
Next
ReDim Preserve CtlValues 1 To i
These 12 lines of code perform the same task that the 900 lines do (going by your example). This code will work in any form, regardless of how many controls there are, and what they are named. This code is way easier to understand and work with.
See if maybe an approach like this will work here.
I m trying to use a variable in the VB script at multiple places. This variable is is being calculated everytime i call the variable.
is there a way the script can use the initial value of the variable?
For Example -
In Sub StartServers, the DatenTime variable has a certain time value (eg: 2014-01-16-16-10-01.50) and after 120 Seconds sleep time, the DatenTime value in the Sub routine SendMail has 120 seconds added to the value (eg: 2014-01-16-16-12-01.50) causing a different time stamp, and attachment to is not sent as it cannot find the file name.
Thanks in advance for any answers. Please let me know if need more details.
=============================
DatenTime = "%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,5%"
Sub StartServers
wshShell.Run "E:\Automation\bin\queryhpe.cmd > E:\Automation\log\query_hpe_"&DatenTime&".log"
WScript.Sleep 120000
End Sub
Sub SendMail
On Error Resume Next
.
.
.
.
.
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = sEmailList.ReadLine
.From = "<admin#example.com>"
.Subject = "STAGE: Querying Windows Services at " & Time & " on " & Date
.Textbody = "STAGE: Querying Windows executed at " & Time & " on " & Date & " by " & sWho & "." & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "Pls find the info on following location " & "Pls Review attached logs for detailed information"
.AddAttachment "E:\Automation\log\query_hpe_"&DatenTime&".log"
.Send
End With
Loop
End Sub
Don't use environment variables for constructing a timestamp string in VBScript. Use the appropriate VBScript functions instead:
Function LPad(v) : LPad = Right("00" & v, 2) : End Function
t = Now
DatenTime = Year(t) & "-" & LPad(Month(t)) & "-" & LPad(Day(t)) _
& "_" & LPad(Hour(t)) & "_" & LPad(Minute(t)) & "_" & LPad(Second(t)) _
& "." & LPad(Left(Timer * 1000 Mod 1000, 2))
The expression Timer * 1000 Mod 1000 determines the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the last full second.
You just need to create a variable above the Sub and store the Date/Time to it. Then refer to this variables in the Sub.
DatenTime = "%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,5%"
Dim StartDate, StartTime
StartDate = Date
StartTime = Time
Sub StartServers
wshShell.Run "E:\Automation\bin\queryhpe.cmd > E:\Automation\log\query_hpe_"&DatenTime&".log"
WScript.Sleep 120000
End Sub
Sub SendMail
On Error Resume Next

I'm hoping someone has already developed a script to do this.
I'm need to query all objects in AD (users, computers, containers (OU's), everything exceot for the forest root) and show which objects in AD do not have the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" attribute checked.

If you show some initiative, I can help in VBS. I wrote a VBS a while ago to query everything in AD for below attributes via LDAP, and putting results in Excel and plain text file.

"objectSid"
"sIDHistory"
"sAMAccountName"
"description"
"sAMAccountType"

"whenChanged"
"givenName"
"sn"
"displayName"
"title"
"mail"
"physicalDeliveryOfficeName"
"memberOf"
"telephoneNumber"
"mobile"
"pager"
"company"
"lastLogon"
"badPwdCount"
"badPasswordTime"
"streetAddress"

Yes I made a mistake and didn't post the question initially. When I posted originally, I wasn't able to enumerate all AD objects and had a question about that, but it is since been resolved and the code below works (in case anyone else needs it - sharing is OK). No need to try and reinvent the wheel if the code already existed. And many thanks to Rems # Petri
