Word-VBA Code Samples for Newbies & Others

by JoJo Zawawi

This code was written for Word 97 and worked fine for Word 2000. No guarantees are given for any later versions of Word, but most of this code will likely still be valid.

A
Array, ReDim an Array: ReDim arrArrayName(intNumberNames) Array, Sort an Array: WordBasic.SortArray (arrArrayName())

B
Backspace: Selection.TypeBackspace Bookmark, Add: With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="Name" .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = False End With Bookmark, Count # of Bookmarks in Document: Dim intNumBookmarks as Integer intNumBookmarks = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count Bookmark, Delete: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Delete Bookmark, Exists (Does It Exist?): If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("BookmarkName") = True then 'Do something, i.e.,: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Select Selection.TypeText Text:="Hello" End If Bookmark, Go to Bookmark: (This method does not work with bookmarks in Headers/Footers) Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Name" Bookmark, Select a Bookmark: (This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Select

Bookmark, Insert Text Using Range (Change Content of Range): (This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range.Text="Text" Bookmark, Insert Text Using Range (Add After Range): (This method works when using bookmarks in Headers/Footers) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range.InsertAfter _ "Text" Bookmark, Go to a Bookmark, replace the text that's contained in the Bookmark, and still have the text bookmarked: Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="BookmarkName" Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.InsertAfter "This is the new text" ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _ Name:="BookmarkName" Bookmark, Replace Text of a Bookmark in document2 With the Text of a Bookmark in document1: Note that both documents must be open when the macro is run. Documents("c:\temp\document2.doc").Bookmarks("doc2BookmarkName").Range.Text = _ Documents("c:\temp\document1.doc").Bookmarks("doc1BookmarkName").Range.T ext Alternate Code: Documents("c:\temp\document2.doc").Bookmarks(1).Range.Text = _ Documents("c:\temp\document1.doc").Bookmarks(4).Range.Text where the text of the 4th bookmark in document1 is replacing the text of the 1st bookmark in document2. Bookmark, Turn Off View Bookmarks: ActiveWindow.View.ShowBookmarks = False

C
Call, Run a Macro That's in Another Template: Application.Run "[TemplateName].[ModuleName].[MacroName] Example: Application.Run "Normal.NewMacros.Macro1" Example: Application.Run "Normal.Module1.Macro2" Call, Run a Macro That's Within the Same Template: Application.Run MacroName:="[MacroName]" Caption, Load an Array Element Into an Option Box Caption: opt1.Caption = arrArrayName(0) CHR (Character) Function: Here are some of the more commonly used ASCII codes: Chr(9) = tab Chr(11) = manual line break (shift-enter) Chr(12) = manual page break Chr(13) = vbCrLf (return) Chr(14) = column break Chr(30) = non-breaking hyphen Chr(31) = optional hyphen Chr(32) = space Chr(34) = quotation mark Chr(160) = nonbreaking space For more, look up ASCII character codes in the appendix of most

computer books. See also "Chr$" under VBA Help. USAGE EXAMPLE: Selection.TypeText text:=Chr(11) ComboBox, Add Array Items to Combo Box: For i = 1 to 18 '18 elements in array cbxComboBoxName.AddItem arrArrayName(i) Next i ComboBox, Set First Value to Show in Combo Box From an Array: cbxComboBoxName.Value = arrArrayName(0) '[(1) if Option Base 1] Constant, Declare a Constant: Const strIniFile as String = _ "C:\Temp\MyFile.txt" Copy Entire Document: Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.Extend Copy: Selection.Copy

D
Delete: Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Directory, Exists: This particular code determines whether your computer has a C:\Windows\Temp directory (you are running Windows) or a C:\WINNT\Temp directory (you are running NT); of course, you can use this function to determine whether any directory exists (for example, if SomeDir exists, great; elseif SomeDir doesn't exist, then create it, etc.) Dim strTempDirPath as String Const strNTTempDirPath as String = "C:\WINNT\Temp" Const strWindowsTempDirPath as String = "C:\Windows\Temp" If Dir(strNTTempDirPath, vbDirectory) <> "" Then StrTempDirPath = strNTTempDirPath MsgBox ("The directory " + strTempDirPath + " exists.")
