Speeding up Word Automation using Ranges?!? 1

[ftpdoo]

I'm using MS Word to generate reports. Currently I'm using:

oWord.Selection.TypeText "My text...." to diplay information, but i've heard that using ranges are quicker.

How do I do this?? I've been told:

MyRange.InsertAfter "My Text...." but I don't have the property MyRange?

Thanks,
Jonathan (PS i'm using word 97)

ftpdoo,

The MyRange expression can be anything that returns either a selection or a range. So, in your case you can just continue to use the 'selection' object like this:

Selection.InsertAfter Text:="My Text...."

Hope this helps,

do you know if this will provide any additional speed advantage??

Thanx,

Hmmm, not sure. If it does, I can't see that the gains would be enough to be noticable. Maybe I'll go and have a play.....
