Word Automation Late Binding

gleesonc · Aug 28, 2019

Hi,
After much research I found some code that allows me to fill a table in a Word document using automation. All working very well until I try to change it to late binding.
There's a line of code that shifts the data from one cell to the next one to the right as it inserts the data in the correct order:

docQuote.Application.Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Does anyone know the late binding equivalent for Unit:=wdCell?

Thanks in anticipation
Chris

For any constant go to the immediate window
?wdCell
12

Apologies all.

Further research found the correct number to use.

docQuote.Application.Selection.MoveRight Unit:=12

Also thanks to all the regular contributors - I've learned so much from you all.

Chris

Ooops,

You are one of the contributors I was referring to above. thanks.

A handy alternative that makes it simple for Late Binding is to include a module with all these constants declared.

BTW I sometimes design with the library loaded so the Intellisense works, declare the variable types from the library but instantiate objects with the Late Binding command.

Then it is just a matter of converting the variable declarations from the library item to Object. This switch can done with a find and replace or using Conditional Compilation.

Thanks Galaxiom.
I will certainly take up your suggestions in the future-will save a lot of time.
