Windows 95 WordBasic (!!!) macro
Hi to all,
a friend of mine still uses Word 95 with some 'home-made macro recorder' macros. He now looks for a solution to use a string from the clipboard in a search and replace macro. Replace is easy (^c), but search is not. As I never used WordBasic I do not know how - assign a string to a variable - get a text object from the clipboard. If there is anyone who still knows WordBasic - or a good link - , please help . Thanks NP |

You might want to start with:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.11).aspx You can also download the WordBasic help file from: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...icCommands.htm Note that you'll need to install the appropriate WinHlp file, from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607/ See also: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/WordDlgHelp.htm

Hi Paul,
thanks for the links, I did not know the first one. Quote:
Unfortunately the WordBasic Reference Guide has no example on how to access the Windows clipboard. NP |

I doubt you'd find such a process in WordBasic - even Word VBA doesn't have that (Word VBA needs an MS Forms Object Library reference to do it).

I fear so. I'm trying a workaround: paste - select - assign - delete.
It's a like a bad dream. The macro was recorded with a German Word and so is WordBasic - even with umlauts. I've never seen such a code before ... But I found a German - English WordBasic command list, so ist should work - somehow . NP |
