Word Macro: Save as Word Doc

Monday, March 10th, 2008

This took a while to find. It’s here now to prevent it from being lost. I changed the sample to save as word doc instead of a txt file.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa662158(office.10).aspx

Sub SaveAsDocFile()
Dim strDocName As String
Dim intPos As Integer’Find position of extension in filename
strDocName = ActiveDocument.Name
intPos = InStrRev(strDocName, “.”)If intPos = 0 Then

‘If the document has not yet been saved
‘Ask the user to provide a filename
strDocName = InputBox(”Please enter the name ” & _
“of your document.”)
Else

‘Strip off extension and add “.txt” extension
strDocName = Left(strDocName, intPos - 1)
strDocName = strDocName & “.txt”
End If

‘Save file with new extension
ActiveDocument.saveas FileName:=strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
End Sub

Digital Lith Print

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

To Simulate texture of a lith print with Noise Filter

  1. Create new layer (as smart object) and fill with neutral gray (128, 128, 128)
    • Gray is the pass through color for the “light” blend modes (Overlay, Softlight, Hard light..etc)
  2. Put in some nois
    • Filter>Texture>Grain
    • Filter>Noise>Add Noise
  3. Put in Overlay, or Soft Light to keep color the same. Vivid light will add saturation

Hi Pass Sharpening

Saturday, March 8th, 2008
  1. Duplicate layer
  2. Set layer to Overlay
  3. Apply Filter > Other > High Pass to top layer
  4. (Optional) change layer to smart object for more flexibility
