MS Word Automation Numered List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Fausto Serrata 75

Hi.

I want to program, from Dynamics Navision 2009 C/Side code, a function that generates in Word a numered list as show below.

  1. Textx
  2. Textx
  3. textxx
  4. text
  5. text

I know how to create, save and open the document. Also know how to insert text, tabs, and other things. But I could not manage to insert a numered list.

That's my problem. 

Any Idea.

    I haven't tried it but, how about opening a word doc (2010) goto Home-> turn on numbering, then select the numbering format you want.  Save it as a template.  Then use that template as the one you call from automation.

    Hopefully everything entered will get automatically numbered.

    Hi

    If you know a bit of VB you can also create a word doc, add a line of text, use the record macro functionality in word and set the line to bulleted, then stop and view the code of the macro, it takes a bit of trial and error but i managed to do some crazy stuff in excel using this method to figure out how the functions get called, then reproduce it in NAV

    Cheers

    Thanks for your suggestion Nev.

    Here I leave the code I used to solve my problem.

    Thank you again.

    CODE:

    NewLine := 13;

    Tab := 9;

    CLEAR(WordApp);

    IF ISCLEAR(WordApp) THEN

     CREATE(WordApp, TRUE, FALSE);

    WordDoc           := WordApp.Documents.Add;  //Add New Document

    WordAppSelection  := WordApp.Selection;

    WordApp.Run('Macro1'); //Activate the numered list

    WordAppSelection.TypeText('Text1');

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(NewLine));

    WordAppSelection.TypeText('Text2');

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(NewLine));

    WordAppSelection.TypeText('Text3');

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(NewLine));

    WordApp.Run('Macro2'); //Deactivate the numered list

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(NewLine));

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(NewLine));

    WordAppSelection.TypeText(FORMAT(TAB));

    WordAppSelection.TypeText('Texto3');
