Aligning Paragraphs in a Macro
Summary: You can use this VBA code to apply different alignment settings to paragraphs. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
If you are writing a VBA macro, you may want to apply paragraph alignment formatting within your document. To do so, you use the Alignment property, as follows:
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
Notice that the Alignment property is set to a preset Word value, in this case wdAlignParagraphCenter. There are a number of different values you can use in your alignment:
- wdAlignParagraphLeft to align the paragraph to the left margin.
- wdAlignParagraphCenter to align the paragraph to the center of the print area.
- wdAlignParagraphRight to align the paragraph to the right margin.
- wdAlignParagraphJustify to align full lines within the paragraph with both left and right margins.
Tip #827 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 2000 2002 2003
Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
