Preventing Reoccuring Dialog Boxes
During some operations, I get a pop up dialog box warning me that this or
that operation can't undone. Even though I don't care about the message at the moment, the appearance of the dialog box halts the current operation. This prevents me from walking away during long operations, such doing it over lunch or overnight, because I have to keep hitting Yes or No. Is there a way to suppress these dialogs? |

Just add " ActiveDocument.UndoClear " in your macro, eg :
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update For Each myTOC In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents myTOC.Update ActiveDocument.UndoClear Next Rgds. "Howard Lee" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

The most common instance is when I'm making a Word-based PDF (in that it has
to check an extensive number of links in the long document), Word invariably gives me "Memory Low. This operation can't be undone. Continue Yes/No" kind of error. Even if nothing is running.

Howard,
I have never seen that dialog and can't generate it here. You might check Google Groups "Word" and do a search on "Memory low". There are a few postings there describing a similiar problem and the common thread appears to be "Virtual memory." -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support Howard Lee wrote: The most common instance is when I'm making a Word-based PDF (in that it has to check an extensive number of links in the long document), Word invariably gives me "Memory Low.

Thanks. I'll look into it.
There is a KB article at Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;240410). The message has nothing to do with memory per se, but rather there being too many hidden bookmarks caused by repeated updating of TOCs. It's an oddly worded message if that's really the case. Although cleaning them out as the article describes reduces the number of the dialogs, it's still a non-zero occurrence and I'm back to the original problem - I can't leave the process unattended during the (very) long generation of the PDF from within Word. This may be one of those things I have to live with. "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ... Howard, I have never seen that dialog and can't generate it here.

Thanks Greg
you have partely solved my problem. The title of my question was: "My document grows faster and faster". I used the macro and the the file shrinked 70%. However, I can not convert to RTF. Word hangs. Do you have some more advices? Regards Georg |
