I’m using Word2007 and I have a recorded macro that will insert an arrow into my repot that is a curtain size, color and style. The problem I’m having is when I run the macro it first bounces around the screen and then locates itself at the top of the page. How can I stop it from bouncing around and is it possible to have the arrow be inserted at location of curser.
I also have the same problem with a circle that I use
Here is my macro for arrow
Code:
Sub Macro2()

' Macro2 Macro
'
'
    ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorStraight, 436.5, 125.35, _
        0.65, 31.5).Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.EndArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Transparency = 0#
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Weight = 1.75
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.DashStyle = msoLineSolid
    Selection.ShapeRange.ConnectorFormat.Type = msoConnectorStraight
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Style = msoLineSingle
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Transparency = 0#
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoTrue
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
    Selection.ShapeRange.Line.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)

    Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.DistanceRight = InchesToPoints(0.13)
    Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = 3
    Selection.ShapeRange.ZOrder 4
