- My German is a little bit rusty, but if I understand you correctly you want
- to set or determine the amount of sub/superscripting of characters.
-
- In the English version the dialog box equivalent for this is
- FormatCharacter .Position = number of points
- which is a little bit confusing since the dialog box has the entries
- "Super/subscript" and "by" for setting this. My guess is that it works the
- same way in the German version, that is
- FormatZeichen .Pozition = punkte (my German *is* rusty).
-
- There are functions to determine if the selected characters are sub or
- superscripted (Subscript() and Superscript() ), they will unfortunately not
- tell you the amount of sub or superscripting.
-
- My limited experience with the Swedish version of Word indicates that it
- should be possible to use the english version commands in WordBasic. At
- least Word will dutifully translate things if you create a macro in the
- English version and then open it in the Swedish version.
-
- Also try the WordBasic section in the Word Help.
-
- Isn't it fun to try to get macros to work with non-English versions of Word?
- Somehow it would have been nice to have things being more language
- independent.
-
- Exercise: How do you implement a macro that uses fields for which there are
- no specific WordBasic commands when the macro should work with different
- language versions of Word?
- That is, a date field is simple, for that we have the function
- InsertDateField. But what if we wish to insert an AUTHOR field? For that
- we have to use InsertField .Field = "Author" and the string "Author" will
- of course be different with different languages.
-
- Hope this helps
