Apologies up front, just got back from the "home terrace" (balcony) enjoying a cold Palm, while a Grolsch is waiting for me in the fridge
Me a smartass?
Because I now feel like writing up
the ultimate L.A.R.T. (
Luser
Attitude
Readjustment
Tool) for
@jozze and then send him the highly functional automated
.docx macro document: "
Oh, I thought you used Office too..." (<running & ducking>!).
Sorry, sorry, sorry... ok; all borderlining "pun" aside: I consider myself an MS Office 2010 "power" user, simply because my whole company rests on it and I use some relatively advanced VBA powered templates for my common day work (not going too much off topic, but when I set up a bill in Word it automatically contacts Outlook to retrieve information such as addressee information and such. All manually coded stuff).
When you have a subscription with my company you get your bills 2 folded: a regular one using common mail, and the other electronically.
So the first thing I did? Code something like this:
Code:
Dim melding As Integer
Dim desktop, brief As String
brief = Left$(ActiveDocument.Name, Len(ActiveDocument.Name) - 4) + "pdf"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:=desktop + brief, FileFormat:=wdFormatPDF, AddToRecentFiles:=False
melding = MsgBox(brief + " opgeslagen op de desktop.", vbInformation, "Document geëxporteerd")
(small snippet, not going
too much off topic here)
This basically exports the Word document I'm working on in PDF format and saves it on my desktop. From there I manually process it by e-mailing, deleting, and setting a reminder in Outlook's todo items to make sure that I double check if customers have actually paid (even though I work in IT I wouldn't trust my income to be processed completely automated).
Darn, guess that doesn't make me such a smart ass after all, or does it? :\
Either way; probably needless to say but even as an "MS Office 2010 fan" I still wholeheartedly agree with your frustrations.

(no offence; honest. I'm simply writing a message while I probably shouldn't have
