Converting Word Colors

[JBU]

Hi

In my VBA code I have a string containing the name of a color and I wnat to convert it into a Long.
In other words I have "wdColorDarkRed" and I want wdColorDarkRed.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not know what you mean by "convert", but the constant for wdDarkRed is 13.

I think the only way you can do this is with the TypeLib Info Library (part of Visual Studio but available for download in several places on the web). Might I ask where you get the string from in order to need it converting?

Enjoy,
Tony
