Word VBA >> Formatting several paragraphs

by rgoubet » Mon, 26 Jul 2004 22:34:58 GMT

Hi,

In a macro I'm writing, I have a loop on each run of which I add some
paragraphs (one or more), contained in a string variable. Now, I'd
like these paragraphs to get a LeftIndent formatting. The trouble is,
I don't know how many paragraphs I'm inserting on each run of the
loop. So, if I write:

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Add.Range = MyText & vbCrLf
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count - 1).Format
= CommentPara

were CommentPara is a ParagraphFormat object whose LeftIndent property
is set as needed, only the last paragraph of the MyText Range is
formatted.

So, my question is: who can I apply CommentPara to all the paragraphs
inserted and contained in MyText? I tried to define MyText as a Range
object, format it and then insert it with the method Add, but it
didn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Raphael,
in case there is an empty paragraph at your docs end,
which probably will be there, format it as you like and
then add the new paragraphs. They will inherit the formatting
of the paragraph they are inserted in, which is the last paragraph.
If you don't have an empty last paragraph, add one beforehand.
If you want to remove it afterwards, do so.
I hope, this isn't too simple.

I would like to find several paragraphs of text beginning

Search using Wildcards but the best I could come up with 
was finding text when the number of paragraphs was set, 
eg, putting in the Search Box for 3 paras 
blahblah^013*^013*^013*blahblah. I don't know if this 
Search code can be refined so that there can be any number 
of paras or whether you have to do something completely 
different with VBA.

Thanks for any help.

I regularly type up building specifications/quotations which use standard

Is there a way of creating a master template that could give a series of 
drop down menus that listed the available texts?

thanks
