How to insert an equation in a Word doc. Thru VBA?

PedroZorro · May 30th, 2005, 01:00 PM

I want to insert an equation in a Word document thru VBA using the equation editor. I try using the macro recorder but it opens the editor and ends. It did not record the equation I wrote.
I also try using the "sendkey" instruction but it does not work as it would has to.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks, Pedro.

PD.: If you donÂ´t know the answer, please do not type nonsense.

I think that if I were you, I would add an equation object, then use VBA to examine the object (Find out its type, properties, etc.).

You can write a routine that will work with that which is currently selected, then select the equation object and call your routine. Out a breakpoint into the routine. When the VBA editor gets the focus, and the code is halted on the breakpoint, you can start examining the object.

If you

Code:

    Dim obj As Object
    Set obj = Selection.CurrentSelection ' (or whatever the proper property is)

then you can highlihgt 'obj', right-click on that highlighting, and select 'Add to Watch Window' from the context popup.

I suspect this is going to take some research...
