Title: [SOLVED] Select a paragraph in Microsoft Word
Post by: w click on June 26, 2022, 04:48:54 pm

Another Microsoft Word automation problem.

I want to do this to select a target paragraph.  Target is an integer and I'm using Windows.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. wordapp.paragraphs(target).range.select;

I get 'Method 'paragraphs' is not supported by automation object'.  So, er, what do I do?
(In fact, I don't need to select the paragraph, if I can move the cursor to the target paragraph.)

You idiot, w click.  Use sourcedoc!!!

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. sourcedoc.paragraphs(target).range.select;
2.  

When you've opened it with

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     try
2.       try
3.         WordApp:=CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
4.       except
5.         showmessage('Unable to start Word.');
6.       end;
7.       sourcedoc:=wordapp.Documents.Open(WideString(utf8decode(s)));
8.       WordApp.Visible:=True;  {Make WordApp visible}
9.     except
10.       showmessage('It all went pear-shaped.');
11.     end;
12.  
13.  

I mean, for goodness sake.

What package are you using for Microsoft Word automation?
