« Trouble Donating Online? Another Option ... | Main | VBA Does Have Some Limits - Understanding Constants »
Happy Tuesday ... hope everyone had a good long weekend!
I have a new article on Office Online to mention today ... it's a basic introduction to Macros in the Microsoft Office programs. Check it out if you get a chance:
Macros demystified: What they are and why to use them
Also ... (sorry, my inner geek is about to show bigtime!) ... but I get very excited about stuff like this :) One of my articles on the Microsoft at Work site is on the Microsoft home page today ... go to microsoft.com and click the link 12 Tips for Creating Better Presentations.
By the way, if you have not yet had a chance to donate to Katrina relief ... or want some ideas on what more you can do to help ... the main graphic on the Microsoft home page today will take you to an article with lots of links and options to make it easy.
Have a great day!

Is there a way via VBA to set the defaults for the Compare feature within Word. At my Firm, our defaults are bold and underline. If we currently use Word we are unable to have both options selected. Can this options be selected by default via VBA Code??
Thanks

Hi, Denise,
Unfortunately not. Those are separate options in the Word 2003 compare feature ... so they translate to a limited set of constants for the InsertedTextMark property in Word VBA.
Saying no is, of course, an oversimplified answer ... you probably could develop a custom application using either VBA or VSTO that would do it -- but in terms of a straightforward VBA macro that works within the confines of the built-in Word feature, you really can't.
I'll post a new article over the weekend on working with VBA constants to shed a bit more light on this one.
Best,
Stephanie

Yes - the compare feature is much improved in Word 2003. Compare options were more limited in Word 2002.
