Selection.Bookmarks("\headinglevel") WITHOUT Selection

NobodysPerfect · #1 01-14-2015, 05:55 AM

Hi to all,

I'm looking for an equivalent to the "Selection.Bookmarks("\headinglevel")" command because I want to avoid any use of "Selection".
Right now I use a nested search with "wdOutlineLevelx" and "ListFormat.ListString" to find the start and end of specific chapters. But that seems to be a rather poor workaround - what if a heading has no ListString …

So could you help me out with some more straightforward solution?

Thanks a lot
NP

You could use Find to locate the heading of interest, then another Find (or a loop)to extend a duplicate range to the start of the next such heading (or the end of the document).

Hi Paul,

that's excactly what do - maybe my description "Right now I use a nested search" wasn't exact enough

.

So I guess you don't see another approach ?

Thanks
NP

Not without use Selection. You could, of course, use something like the following, so your original selection is restored once the macro has finished:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, Rng As Range
Set Rng = Selection.Range
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = ""
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = True
    .Style = "Heading 2"
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    i = i + 1
    .Duplicate.Select
    MsgBox Selection.Bookmarks("\HeadingLevel").Range.Text
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With
Rng.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox i & " headings found."
End Sub
