Calling Macro Diva - word student


Posted: Sep 29, 2013

Just wondering if it's okay/possible to put my "Call" macros back towards the end of General_Macro? And if so, where?  I tried moving them to just before End Sub and also before Page 1:Selection..., but those locations didn't work.  I'm getting an occasional errant "g" or "L" (apparently related to the GramLiter macro) at the very beginning of my VR text when I run it now, which I didn't have at all before when the "called' macros were at the end.  Was part of the fix you did for FixPX related to having it at the beginning rather than the end?  If so and it's necessary to keep it there, then no problem.  Or if maybe just Call GramLiter could be moved somewhere else, it might help?   Sub

Go Ahead and put at end - Macro Diva

[ In Reply To ..]
If it is creating a problem for you. It does not have to be at the top. If the call is not working for you and it is in the same template, it is probably because you are not spelling the macro name properly. I like to name my macros with a mix of small and capped letters so I know that I have spelled it correctly.

Where at the end? Before or after 'End Sub'? - word student

[ In Reply To ..]
[edit] Obviously somewhere above 'End Sub,' but placing them just above that doesn't work. The replacement strings still work then, but not the Call macros.

"Test" text (deleted the ROS and OBJECTIVE paragraphs since I just made those Call macros by copying FixPX and which work fine when up in original location).

End Sub - Macro Diva

[ In Reply To ..]
End sub is the end of the macro, anything put after end sub needs to be a comment (a comment is in green and is created by putting an "'" as the 1st character of the comment. So put your calls just before end sub. Be sure you spell the names correctly or nothing will happen except you get an error.
Still not working. - word student
[ In Reply To ..]

I put them all just before End Sub once again, spelled exactly the same as when working up above since just cut & pasted to move them, but still not working.  It's not just an EditScript thing either this time; they're not working even in Word before trying in ES. All of the replacement strings work, just not any of the calls when I move them all towards the bottom.  I can't imagine what I might be doing incorrectly.

Nothing will run after an exit sub because you only want the subroutines running when you tell them to do so.

I'm sorry, I forgot there was an exit sub there, Exit sub does exactly the same thing as end sub

I've been working all day gearing up for a new account starting Tuesday. When my brain is a little a clearer, I will explain subroutines in more detail and the reason for this exit sub in the middle of your macro.

Works great in Word now. I'm not back in EditScript until tonight, will post back if any difference in ES (as with the double comma deletion, e.g.), but I don't anticipate there will be any problems with it there.

Thanks! And best of luck with your new account.

I don't know where to begin with trying to record a macro for this need myself.  On my main account, we're required to list meds without any following punctuation, but due to other MTSOs also subbing on it (who apparently don't have any specs or just don't have to follow the same specs we do), the lists invariably come through on VR with totally inconsistent punctuation.  Such as this: MEDICATIONS:Ativan,ZofranDexamethasone.DiltiazemLanoxin. But should be this: M ...
