A Bug I Think in Word 2000
Enter a simple table and add a bit of text to a few cells.
Put a check in: ToolOptionsEditUse smart cut and paste Type a few words after the table and copy it to the clipboard. Now run: Sub Test() Dim tbl As Word.Table Dim cel As Word.Cell Dim rng As Word.Range Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) For Each cel In tbl.Range.Cells Set rng = cel.Range rng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, -1 rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd rng.Paste Next End Sub This has interesting results. 1. If you selected and copied a complete word or phrase (without the leading space). The result is the text is pasted to all cells as expected, but a run time error is generated. Run Time Error '5825' Object has been deleted. :-( 2. If you copied only part of a word or a word/phase including a leading space, all is well. I have discovered that the cause of this behaviour is ToolsOptionsEditUse smart cut and paste. With that option off, the procedure works as expected with no run time error. That is the cause, but I don't really understand the why. I suppose that knowing this you could use an error handler: Sub Test() Dim tbl As Word.Table Dim cel As Word.Cell Dim rng As Word.Range Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) On Error GoTo Handler For Each cel In tbl.Range.Cells Set rng = cel.Range rng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, -1 rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd rng.Paste Next Exit Sub Handler: End Sub Does anyone know if this bug, as I have called it, is documented, why it happends, or a more appropriate workaround? Thanks. |
