Insert a canvas at current cursor location [code attached]

Guessed · #1 06-04-2023, 07:23 PM

I think you need to position the canvas at the location of the selected paragraph before setting it to inline.

Code:

Sub InsertCanvas2()
  Dim shpCanvas As Shape, CanvasWidth As Double, iTop As Integer, iLeft As Integer
  Dim CanvasHeight As Double, aRng As Range
    
  'Call FigureTools.ExitCompatibilityMode 'Exit the compatibility mode
  
  ' Get the current paragraph
  Set aRng = Selection.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range
  iTop = aRng.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)
  iLeft = aRng.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)
  CanvasWidth = 450
  CanvasHeight = 252
  
  ' Add a drawing canvas to the active document at the current paragraph
  Set shpCanvas = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddCanvas(Left:=iLeft, Top:=iTop, Width:=CanvasWidth, Height:=CanvasHeight, Anchor:=aRng)
  
  With shpCanvas
    '.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(24, 100, 30)
    .WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapInline
    .Visible = msoTrue
  End With
    
End Sub

Thanks for the response! On my side your code somehow always inserts the canvas into the paragraph that is above the paragraph that the cursor is currently in. I used "Set currentParagraphRange = Selection.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Next" to solve the issue but ran into errors if the current paragraph is the last paragraph in the document so there's no "Next". Is there a way to solve this?
