Accessing an open word Doc

[Salrandin]

Office 2003,

How to I set my document variable to a word document that is already open? Would I use the documents.add function? And what would the path be if it is a newly created document? Thanks.

No problem.

The thing to remember with Word is that there is always a hidden character at the end of every paragraph/table cell which contains the formatting for it.

A Quick Observation: You actually want to use

myStr=left(myStr,len(myStr)-2)

as it seems there is also a space for it to match properly.. or you could say fudge it all and just use

Like "SOUTH*"

lol

There shouldn't be a space there by default, maybe when you are placing text there it's adding a space. The last character should always be the cell marker, so doing this should work:

myStr=trim(left(myStr,len(myStr)-1))
