Help with one or two things when I build a PBB.

Hello Gerald,

I don´t know, if this could solve your Problem, but you should give it a try:

I found a macro, which erases the textframes. I mentioned it before in my posts about Nuance (see below in this post). If you start the macro, your docx-document can be easily marked. There is also a helpful link, where you get good instructions to remove Tags, Page Numbers etc. from your documents. Please follow this link:

Greetings from Cologne, Germany.

Although Nuance created a surprisingly good Docx file, the text was divided into many hundreds of text frames. Logos can not handle such a format. Therefore, one must first get rid of the text frame automatically. How this is done you can find described here: http://wordribbon.tips.net/T009169_Removing_All_Text_Boxes_In_a_Document.html

I've taken the mentioned macro and thus resolved the old format. It is here:

Sub RemoveTextBox2()
    Dim shp As Shape
    Dim oRngAnchor As Range
    Dim sString As String

    For Each shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes
        If shp.Type = msoTextBox Then
            ' copy text to string, without last paragraph mark
            sString = Left(shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text, _
              shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Characters.Count - 1)
            If Len(sString) > 0 Then
                ' set the range to insert the text
                Set oRngAnchor = shp.Anchor.Paragraphs(1).Range
                ' insert the textbox text before the range object
                oRngAnchor.InsertBefore _
                  "Textbox start << " & sString & " >> Textbox end"
            End If
            shp.delete
        End If
    Next shp
End Sub

Are the page numbers in the header or footer?

I think the PB compiler ignores headers and footers in Word, since it also ignores Word pagination.

I tried to create a Macro in Word but I get "Compile Error Invalid Outside Procedure" can you help?
