Length of array elements in the ActiveDocument.GetCrossReferenceItems(wdRefTypeHea ding)

jroger05 · #1 07-13-2016, 02:07 PM

Can anyone tell me what the length of each element is in the following assignment?

myheader range

myheader = ActiveDocument.GetCrossReferenceItems(wdRefTypeHea ding)

I am having an issue that certain elements of the array returned are not complete, they are truncated and therefore I cannot parse the entire header as needed. Is there a way of specifying a longer length?

It seems to be truncating the text at 94 or 95 characters in my testing. I have no idea on how to entice GetCrossReferenceItems to return longer strings.

Code:

  Dim arr() As String, s As Variant
  arr = ActiveDocument.GetCrossReferenceItems(wdRefTypeHeading)
  For Each s In arr
    Debug.Print s, Len(s)
  Next

I can see how this could be a problem but I would have to say that your headings are too long if you can't identify the right one within 95 characters. You could always loop through the paragraphs to populate the array instead of doing it the easy way.
