Solve : Outlook 2k7 - create and populate new word document in VBA? |
Answer» Hello again. Hello again. Since you are creating a Word Document, you would first need to get the word OBJECT. in VBA, you can use CreateObject. Then you would want to create a new document; then you can use the document and manipulate it as you see fit. If you want, you can also add a reference to the "Microsoft Word Object Library" (Tools->References in the VBA EDITOR). Once added, you can work with Word Objects: Code: [SELECT]Public Sub CreateDocument() Dim WordApp As Word.Application Dim NewDocument As Word.Document Dim InsertImage As String InsertImage="D:\bcmountain2.gif" SET WordApp = New Word.Application WordApp.Visible = False Set NewDocument = WordApp.Documents.Add(, , , True) Set objSelection = NewDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection objSelection.TypeText "Text before the picture" objSelection.TypeParagraph Set Shapes = NewDocument.Shapes Set objShape = Shapes.AddPicture(insertimage) objSelection.TypeParagraph objSelection.TypeText "More text appearing after the picture" objSelection.TypeParagraph WordApp.Visible = True End Sub The above is a simple macro that demonstrates how to add basic images as "shapes" and text around that image. You can also save the resulting document by using the SaveAs() Method (NewDocument.SaveAs()) Be careful if you don't quit the Application Object but leave it invisible, since it will still be a running process. Usually best to do what you want with Word, and either quit it or show the results of the VBA to the user (by changing the Visible property to true). I did that here, if you want it to be invisible and quit, remove that LINE and add WordApp.Quit() to the end. |
