Description:
|
Change a logo or other graphic, or change the entire header in a folder full of Word documents all at once.
|
|
Discussion:
|
Maybe your company's logo has changed and you need to replace the logo in all the documents in a folder.
The first procedure (sub) below opens all the Word documents in a directory. In each file, it replaces the first object (shape/graphic) in the header with the contents of the clipboard.
The second procedure (sub) below deletes the entire header and replaces it with the contents of the clipboard.

Code:

instructions for use

Sub ReplaceJustLogo()
Dim wrd As Word.Application
Set wrd = CreateObject("word.application")
wrd.Visible = True
AppActivate wrd.Name
fName = Dir("C:\temp\*.doc")
Do While (fName <> "")
With wrd
.Documents.Open ("C:\Temp\" & fName)
If .ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
Else
.ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
End If
.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
.Selection.WholeStory
If .Selection.InlineShapes.Count <> 0 Then .Selection.InlineShapes(1).Delete
.Selection.Paste
.ActiveDocument.Save
.ActiveDocument.Close
End With
fName = Dir
Loop
Set wd = Nothing
End Sub
Sub ReplaceEntireHdr()
Dim wrd As Word.Application
Set wrd = CreateObject("word.application")
wrd.Visible = True
AppActivate wrd.Name
fName = Dir("C:\temp\*.doc")
Do While (fName <> "")
With wrd
.Documents.Open ("C:\Temp\" & fName)
If .ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
Else
.ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
End If
.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
.Selection.WholeStory
.Selection.Paste
.ActiveDocument.Save
.ActiveDocument.Close
End With
fName = Dir
Loop
Set wrd = Nothing
