WORD Environment Variables

Author	Message
PW #1 / 7	WORD Environment Variables Howdy, I'm trying to get more efficient at the use of macros in WORD & EXCEL (from Office 97 package). You will know this means using VBasic. I need to do some do/while scripts in both and cannot find the naming of particular environment variables. e.g. in WORD, DO while NOT END OF DOCUMENT etc Can someone plase tell me where I can find a list of all the environment variables, especially pertaining to the following - MSWORD Top of page (current) Top of document (line 1, page 1) Next Page Current line reference Current table line Last table line Number of lines in a table object Last Page Bottom of Document (last line, last page) Thank You PW

You can't get the position directly, but you can move there with these commands Selection.Move Unit:=wdStory, Count:=1 Selection.Goto What:=wdGotoPage, Which:=wdGotoPrevious Quote: > Bottom of Document (last line, last page) ActiveDocument.Range.End -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP MultiLinker - Automated generation of hyperlinks in Word Conversion to PDF & HTML http://www.multilinker.com Word FAQs at http://www.multilinker.com/wordfaq Please post any follow-up in the newsgroup.

Mark Tangar #4 / 7	WORD Environment Variables Nah, it only seems that way. Keep at it -- especially when it seems hopeless ;) -- and it'll fall into place soon, and THEN watch your brain race. The fact that you were looking for specific "environment variables" (code expressions) is good in one sense, but don't hang onto the notion that you can translate ordinary English (or other programming languages' structure) into VBA; it's quite different, and your attempts will be slowed if you don't try to grasp the VBA object model. One other hint: These newsgroups get busy, so if you're going to add a comment about a thread (like this one), it's best to add it to the same thread, not start a new one. Otherwise not everyone will be able to tell what you're replying to. ------------- "Life is nothing if you aren't obsessed." --John Waters --------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: > ...
