Help! -- MS Office 2003 -- Rt Click Dialog Box Paste to Save FileName
Office 2003 , Word, Excel --
I am a Disabled War Vet and use the computer and the Internet every day for various research. I use a “Wireless Mouse” and an “On Screen Keyboard” in place of the normal Keyboard most of the time. I often make notes and copy text and images from Wikipedia encyclopedia, etc; I then paste various (Legal Free Use) text and images into MS Notepad and Paint. If I decide to keep a copy of certain information; I save a MS Notepad and/or Paint document by: selecting desirable “Key Word(s)” with the mouse then “Right-Click” to copy my selection then “Left- Click” File Save As and then in the ensuing Blank “File Name: Dialog Box” [ I “Right-Click”, and paste the previously copied selection ] -- thereby saving the file with a meaningful label. This is very easy and I do it all the time, using many programs off and on the Internet. My VERITABLE QUANDARY. My terrible aggravating longstanding problem is that I cannot do this natural procedure in Microsoft Office 2003, Word, Excel, etc. When I go to “Right-click” the Blank “File Name: Dialog Box” – the “Right- Click” does nothing! It is disabled, and I need to overcome this one too. As it is -- I have to set everything down, and reach for the Physical Keyboard – and then make an awkward for me, "CTRL-V" -- to paste the text that I want for a File name. If I can do this using MS Notepad, or Paint and countless other programs – I sure should be able to do it in the M$ Office Programs. I’ll guess that fixing this will be embarrassingly very easy – but it escapes me how – please, will some kind and knowledgeable person help me out as very soon as possible? If you know of a better place to ask about this, please post that too. Thanks & Peace Stanford |

Help! -- MS Office 2003 -- Rt Click Dialog Box Paste to Save File Name
I do not know if upgrading to Word 2007 is an option for you, but in that
version, when you right click in the File Name control of the FileSaveAs dialog, a shortcut menu does appear that does include the Paste option. If that is not an option, if you can create a macro that contains the following code and assign it to a button on a toolbar, it will save the active document with the filename of the the information that is on the clipboard: Dim MyData As DataObject Set MyData = New DataObject MyData.GetFromClipboard ActiveDocument.SaveAs MyData.GetText Or, if you want the opportunity to see the SaveAs dialog, you could use Dim MyData As DataObject Set MyData = New DataObject MyData.GetFromClipboard With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo) .Title = MyData.GetText .Execute End With Then when you use File SaveAs, the data that was on the clipboard will appear as the suggested name for the document. For both of these macros to work, in the VBA editor, you will need to go to Tools, References, and set a reference to the "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP, originally posted via msnews.microsoft.com wrote in message ...
