Re: Word 2003 Macros and VBA Question
change it a bit. Instead of opening new docs based on the Normal template,
I'd like to base it on a custom template. And, I'd like to pull the document
name from some of the merged information (maybe point it to a style?).
From the Word 2000 VBA help file:====================
Add Method (Documents Collection)
Adds a new, empty document to the collection of open documents.
Syntax
expression.Add(Template, NewTemplate, DocumentType, Visible)
expression Required. An expression that returns a Documents object.
Template Optional Variant. The name of the template to be used for
the new document. If this argument is omitted, the Normal template is
used.
====================
Pulling the document name to save a chunk of content as, from the
merged doc - that would depend on the code you're using to grab the
chunks from your merged doc. If (for example) the first paragraph in
every chunk was the document name, and was formatted with a special
paragraph style, hidden text, then you would have two ways of getting
at it:
Selection.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text would be one way, IIRC;
"Selection" here represents the selected text - the chunk which you're
about to rip out into a new doc. Or you could simply loop through all
the paragraphs in the Selection, looking for paragraphs formatted with
your Ninja style:
Dim para As Word.Paragraph
Dim strFileName As String
For Each para In Selection.Range.Paragraphs
If para.Style = "MyNinjaStyle" Then
strFileName = para.Range.Text
End If
Next
