I have a simple one or two page document that I want to add some scanned, not OCR'd, supporting documentation at the the end. I've recorded a macro that goes to the end of the doc (Ctrl-End), inserts a page break then starts my scanner program.
Everything works fine as the newly scanned doc is placed on the next page. The problem is the macro ends and the newly scanned page has the green handles boxes around it. I need the macro to somehow get rid of the handles without an extra click so the assigned keyboard shortcut can be started again to add more pages. How would I do that?
I'm writing this app for others to use so it needs to be easy. I hope I've explained this well enough for you to understand.
Thanks,
Mike |

The green handles sound like anchor points for the scan that you are inserting. They won't show up upon printing.

Thanks for the reply 9point9 but wasn't what I was trying to explain. I'll try again, maybe better this time.
I want to scan more than one page into the doc. After the first scan the anchor points appear. After the first scan I want the user to be able use the keyboard short cut, in this case CTL+Shift+C to start a new scan at the end of the doc. If the scan is started with the anchor points still visible the new scan is placed on top of the existing scan rather than a new page. So my question is, after a scan how do I take focus off of the anchor points without requiring the user to click off the scanned image
There is probably a more elegant solution in VB of which I don't know.
Thanks for any help

| At the end of the scan record a press of the Escape key which will put the cursor just below the scanned item then decide what you may want after that like a new page. |

Mike, I suspect the answer is really simple. Something like: | Quote: | | thisComponent.getCurrentController.getViewCursor.collapseToEnd |
But please show us your recorded macro. Cheers, Pat.
