From: Eric L Eric on 31 Mar 2010 17:27 Hello, i am working on a little DocVariable based template and i was unable to find any answer on the "possibility" of the following: I created my DOCVARIABLE Field (actually many of them) I have no problems using vba to add them to my document and manage them and update their value & al Now my issue lies here. While i found out that using \* CHARFORMAT switch in my field code i can modify the font and style of my field and its persistant thru update (when you applies the font and style to the first character of the {[D]OCVARIABLE "varname" \* CHARFORMAT}, its pretty neat but what if i would like to use field for scientific notation lets say my field is named watermolecule and the value is H2O, is it possible to set 2 as superscript? I found out that if i set the D to superscript then my value H2O will be all superscript. I know that i can use the "ascii" code 0178 to get 2 in "superscript" but my goal objective contain many others number and caracter in superscript or subscript and different format for some part of the string in value ex: value = BOLD{Mr} NORMAL{James b.} or Msuperscript{e} BOLD{Jack Brown} etc etc. Any help would be appreciated.

The charformat switch applies the format applied to at least the first character of the field - so you could apply the format to the whole field - which in effect is what occurs. You cannot format only part of a field. You would either have to use a combination of fields or use vba to convert the field to text and format it as you require. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Eric L" <Eric L(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:13FC7602-33A7-46D2-B2BD-E637B272C52C(a)microsoft.com... > Hello, > i am working on a little DocVariable based template and i was unable > to find any answer on the "possibility" of the following: > > I created my DOCVARIABLE Field (actually many of them) > I have no problems using vba to add them to my document and manage them > and update their value & al > > Now my issue lies here. > > While i found out that using \* CHARFORMAT switch in my field code i can > modify the font and style of my field and its persistant thru update (when > you applies the font and style to the first character of the > {[D]OCVARIABLE > "varname" \* CHARFORMAT}, its pretty neat but what if i would like to use > field for scientific notation > > lets say my field is named watermolecule and the value is H2O, is it > possible to set 2 as superscript? > > I found out that if i set the D to superscript then my value H2O will be > all > superscript. > > I know that i can use the "ascii" code 0178 to get 2 in "superscript" but > my > goal objective contain many others number and caracter in superscript or > subscript and different format for some part of the string in value ex: > value > = BOLD{Mr} NORMAL{James b.} > > or Msuperscript{e} BOLD{Jack Brown} > > etc etc. > > Any help would be appreciated. > > |
