Set width of Styles pane?
I have a setup macro that puts the Navigation pane on the left, at a defined width, and the Styles pane on the right, again at a preferred width, and then sets the page size. Under Office 2010, I had this working, but with the forced update (I went to 2016), I'm stuck.
Nav pane up, check. Set width using: Code:
With Application.CommandBars("Navigation") .Visible = True .Width = iWidth End With Scale page zoom, no problem. Open Styles pane with: Code:
Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True But even with several years of VBA hacking and Mansfield's fat book at hand, I can't figure out how to set the width of the Styles pane. Specific answer appreciated; some hints about how to chase the object list for "task panes" (instead of CommandBars, for example) appreciated... |

You were close
Code:
With Application .TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True .CommandBars("Styles").Position = msoBarRight .CommandBars("Styles").Width = 400 End With For some hints that explore the vba Task Pane limits, here is another link. Although it appears to have been written in 2004, Word's development tends to move at a glacial pace so it is probably still current. Word’s Task Panes VBA Reference – Content

Aces, thanks!
It's those switches in object name that throw me. |

And it is a good thing that logic breaks throw you - it shouldn't make sense to switch objects.
You would think with the resources that MS have, someone would be tasked with fixing omissions and inconsistencies like this in the VBA object model
