Re: String too long...

The KB article you refer to relates to FormFields but you don't say you are working with FormFields so I'm not entirely sure what you want but the equivalent of TypeText is simply ..

(range).Text = "this is what I want there"

Awfully sorry, it had been a terribly long week, with lot's of time pressures. I wasn't able to proof-read the note and on second look it surely needed it. I'll Try again...

I am maintaining an application and am a bit new working with Word Objects.

The Microsoft example in the link provided below seems to work well as a solution for one particular section of the application that I am working on. I have implemented Selection.TypeText immediately after performing Selection.Find & .Execute, as an alternative to their Selection.GoTo bookmark example.

I am now in another section of the code that I am maintaining and am not able to obtain the safety benefits of Selection.TypeText. That is this particular section of code happens to be working with the Range object, however I would like to apply the TypeText solution.

How might one go about implementing this Microsoft example, if working with the results of a Range.Find & Execute?

Something to the affect of...

If Range.Find then
Selection.Idunno = Range.Idunno
Selection.TypeText (String((256, "W"))
End If
