[DUG] MS Word replacement text

[Jason Coley]

Hey Dave, yeah still in Palmy, still doing the same thing, the Outlook
addins, Envelopes & Labels, Office Documents and CategorieZ.

 

When I add text to a bookmark, I use the following to replace the text
using sFieldData, which is a string.

 

            oleApp.Selection.Range.Start := bmStart;

            oleApp.Selection.Text := Trim(sFieldData);

            oleApp.Selection.Range.End := bmStart;

 

And when I build the string I use #13 + #10 as a carriage return. So it
may be because of the table, have you tried doing this in document
outside of the table to see if it has the same issue. I will create some
test documents here and use my addin to add an address to a table cell
and see what happens. What version of Office 2007, what service packs
installed.

 

Jason

Hi Jason, long time no see... Are you still in PN?

 

Yes, tried all combinations of #10 & #13. The text I'm replacing is in a
table cell, so that may be something to do with it. Using Office 2007 if
that make's a difference. 

 

I've also tried using a stringlist with multiple lines and this has the
same effect (two spaces rather than a new line).

 

The code I'm using is:

 

  procedure Replace(This, That: OLEVariant) ;

  begin

    WA.Selection.Find.ClearFormatting ;

    WA.Selection.Find.Text := This ;

    WA.Selection.Find.Replacement.Text := That ;

 

    WA.Selection.Find.Forward := True ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchAllWordForms := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchCase := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchWildcards := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchSoundsLike := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchWholeWord := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.MatchFuzzy := False ;

    WA.Selection.Find.Wrap := wdFindContinue ;

    WA.Selection.Find.Format := False ;

 

    WA.Selection.Find.Execute(Replace := wdReplaceAll) ;

  end;

 

Where WA is:

      WA := CreateOLEObject('Word.Application') ;

Have you tried using just #10 (or is it just #13)

I'm working with Word templates, replacing markers with text. I'm having
trouble with new lines in the text, i.e. I want a new line, but the Word
document doesn't want to play. I have tried #13#10, but this just puts
two spaces in the text.

 

Is there another code I need to use to force a new line?

 

Regards,

Dave.
