From: Eileen on 13 Mar 2010 20:31 Hi, I am finding the task of finding complete reference information on the various office dialog boxes like looking for a needle in a haystack. I would like to see a reference for the various office programs that lists the available dialog boxes and all elements pertaining to those boxes that can be customized and the appropriate syntax for that element. For example wdDialogFileOpen, wdDialogFileSaveAs, msoFileDialogSaveAs, etc. Does such a reference exits? If so, where is it located? -- Thanks for your help. Eileen
From: Jay Freedman on 13 Mar 2010 22:53 What exists is a VBA help topic called "Built-in Dialog Box Argument Lists", which you can find by typing that phrase into the Help search box. For each dialog box constant in the WdWordDialog enumeration (which covers most but not absolutely all the dialogs in Word), it lists the arguments you can set or read for that dialog object. For a very long time, we've complained that while this list is useful, it's woefully insufficient. It does not indicate the data type or valid values for any of the arguments, nor does it explain which argument corresponds to which dialog control. Also, some dialogs have controls for which there is no corresponding argument, and some of the arguments are there but don't have any effect. It's extremely imperfect, but it's what we have. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
