    Word VBA Macro for comparing Word Reports - Process indicator

    Hi,

    I create a script for comparing several versions of same documents in a folder. The script allows to create new reports with results.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Nevertheless just before saving the final file, a Word pop-up "The document being saved contains track changes Continue with save?" Is it possible to hide this pop-up? appears.
    Do you know how I can avoid that.

    I would like equally to add a process indicator until that the task is finished. Could you please help me to implement that?

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Regards

    Try:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
    before the save, then, follow that with:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll

    As for the progress indicator, MS has deprecated status bar alerts in Word, as of Word 2013, so all that leaves you with is a userform, such as: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php...ess_indicator/ - adapted to Word, of course. Even then, however, you would need to obtain a count of files before the progress % could be calculated.

    Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Links

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.

    Thanks you for the response.
    Nevertheless The problem is still present and the pop-up "The document being saved contains track changes Continue with save?" is still displayed each time that the script tried to saved a document.
