Hi,


I'm been having an issue from time to time (not always which is strange) with inserting an Autotext string using VBA. I can insert them fine, but they are stripped of their format (ie bold and italic). When I manually insert them, they look perfect.

I insert the autotext string using:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("S tring").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
J

Hi J,

As per Word's VBA Help file, you need to specify the RichText parameter:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("S tring").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True

Thanks Paul...will try...I figured that there must be a parameter to do this but couldn't seem to find it!
