"Go to" doesn't show new location of cursor
I have the "Go To" function in some small macros. (Control-G.) I'm having a
problem because it moves the cursor to the place I want but leaves the screen displayed where it was before. It's inconsistent-- sometimes it works. Any ideas? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

It's inconsistent-- sometimes it works. Any ideas? Hi Christopher, What version of Word do you use, and what is the code of the macro? It does sound like a bug... As a work-around, you could insert ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range at the end of your macros to scroll the Selection into view. Regards, Klaus |

"Go to" doesn't show new location of cursor
Klaus-- Word 2003, Windows XP. I have several routines that would leave the
user in a different place than where he started, which is annoying. So I plant a bookmark, TempBkmk, and return to it. Below is one of the shortest of these, which toggles showing and hiding the field codes. As I say, this works at least half the time, but I don't see what makes it fail. Sub ToggleShowFields() ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="TempBkmk" ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TempBkmk" ' Return to original location End Sub -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/200811/1 |

news:8d15f5f6fe17b@uwe... Klaus-- Word 2003, Windows XP. I have several routines that would leave the user in a different place than where he started, which is annoying.

As I say, this works at least half the time, but I don't see what makes it fail. Sub ToggleShowFields() ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="TempBkmk" ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TempBkmk" ' Return to original location End Sub Yes, that's annoying!! As far as I remember older versions, that behaviour got worse in recent years. It happens quite often now that after something I do -- like your toggling "show field codes", or toggling between Outline and Layout and Normal view, or other things -- I suddenly I don't see the text I was working on. My usual (non-macro) way to deal with it is to use Shift+Right, Shift+Left to bring the Selection into view again. In your macro, you could use the work-around from my last post, and as long as your macro doesn't mess with the Selection, you don't need the bookmark: Sub TestGotoBM2() ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range End Sub Regards, Klaus |

"Go to" doesn't show new location of cursor
Thanks for the suggestions... but I can't make the screen update correctly no
matter how many things I add. I also tried Application.ScreenRefresh, but no luck. I actually have to manually scroll to find the cursor. Klaus Linke wrote: Klaus-- Word 2003, Windows XP.

I actually have to manually scroll to find the cursor. That's weird... So say Shift+RightArrow doesn't bring the Selection into view either? I haven't seen that yet. Could be a driver issue (printer driver, graphics driver)? You could also start Word in "safe mode" (holding down the Ctrl key while you start it), to see whether it works then (which would implicate some template or add-in). Klaus |
