1. How do I print multiple copies of a single page on 1 page?

   In “Pages” fill in something like: 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2

   For “Zoom”, choose 4 pages per sheet.

   This prints 2 pages, the 1st with 4 copies of page 1 and the 2nd with 4 copies of page 2.

2. How do I copy footnotes to another document?

   Sub
   CopyFootnotes()

   Dim sDoc
   As Document

   Dim tDoc
   As Document

   Dim sId
   As String

   Set sDoc =
   ActiveDocument

   Set tDoc =
   Documents.Add

   For i = 1
   To sDoc.Footnotes.Count

       sId = sDoc.Footnotes(i).Index

       sDoc.Footnotes(i).Range.Select

       Selection.Copy

       tDoc.Activate

       With Selection

           .Style = “Footnote Text”

           .Font.Superscript = True

           .TypeText sId & ” “

           .Font.Superscript = False

           .Paste

           .TypeParagraph

       End With

       sDoc.Activate

   Next i

   tDoc.Activate

   End Sub

3. How do I paste without formatting (quickly)?

   Use this macro:

   Sub pasteWithoutFormatting()
   '
   ' pasteWithoutFormatting Macro
   '
   '
   Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
   
   End Sub
   

   I assign this macro to “Cntl+Shift+v” so that I can use it quickly.

4. How do I reformat all the tables in a document?

   Sub reformatAllTables()
   '
   ' reformatAllTables Macro
   ' Changes formatting on all tables in the document
   '
   Dim myTable As Table
      For Each myTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
         myTable.Select
           'myTable.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints
           'myTable.PreferredWidth = CentimetersToPoints(16)
           myTable.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitWindow)
           
         
          With Selection.ParagraphFormat
           .LeftIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0)
           .RightIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0)
           .SpaceBefore = 0
           .SpaceBeforeAuto = False
           .SpaceAfter = 0
           .SpaceAfterAuto = False
           .LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
           .WidowControl = True
           .KeepWithNext = True
           .KeepTogether = True
           .FirstLineIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0)
           .CharacterUnitLeftIndent = 0
           .CharacterUnitRightIndent = 0
           .CharacterUnitFirstLineIndent = 0
       End With
       
      '   Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
      Next myTable
      ActiveDocument.Repaginate
   
   End Sub

5. How do I update all the fields in a document?

   Sub UpdateAllFields()
   '
   ' updateAllFields Macro
   '
   '
   
   Dim oStory As Range
   Dim oHeader As HeaderFooter
   Dim oFooter As HeaderFooter
   Dim oSection As Section
   
   For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
       oStory.Fields.Update
       If oStory.StoryType  wdMainTextStory Then
           While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
           Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
           oStory.Fields.Update
           Wend
       End If
   Next oStory
   
   For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
   
       For Each oHeader In oSection.Headers
           If oHeader.Exists Then
           For Each oField In oHeader.Range.Fields
           oField.Update
           Next oField
           End If
       Next oHeader
   
       For Each oFooter In oSection.Footers
           If oFooter.Exists Then
           For Each oField In oFooter.Range.Fields
           oField.Update
           Next oField
       End If
       Next oFooter
       
   Next oSection
   
   Set oStory = Nothing
   
   End Sub

6. How do I make all the references (Figures, Tables, etc.) formatted in Italics?

   Sub formatReferenceFields()
   '
   ' formatReferenceFields Macro
   '
   ' Finds all references and changes the formatting to italics
   '
   Dim pRange As Word.Range
   Dim oFld As Word.Field
   Dim iLink As Long
   iLink = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
   For Each pRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
       Do
           For Each oFld In pRange.Fields
               Select Case oFld.Type
                   Case wdFieldRef
                       oFld.Select
                       With Selection
                           .Font.Italic = True
                           .Font.Bold = False
                       End With
                   Case Else
                       'Do nothing
               End Select
           Next
           Set pRange = pRange.NextStoryRange
       Loop Until pRange Is Nothing
   Next
   
   End Sub
