MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006How to counting words in a string variable?
Hi All: Sorry to ask so many questions - I need to count words, using the Words.Count Method, in a variable declared as String. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm being unsuccessful in getting this text in a TextRange that Words.Counts wants. Thanks in advance for your help, JS This works for me here. MsgBox ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Rectangle 3").TextFrame.TextRange.Words.Count Brian Reilly, MVP >Hi All: >Sorry to ask so many questions - I need to count words, using the >Words.Count Method, in a variable declared as String. >Does anyone know how to do this?

See Shyam's answer to your earlier post (it's better to keep all of your messages on a given topic in the same thread, by the way). His suggestion is that you create a dummy text box and having done that: (assuming a reference to the text box in oSh) With oSh.TextFrame.TextRange .Text = YourString ' do your word count stuff here End With oSh.Delete ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve and Shyam: Steve and Shyam, sorry for posting this question - I thought that since it was a new question to an answer to another question that it had got lost under the proverbail stack... my fault... I'm taken back by the so different way 2000 and 2003 treat the WholeWords parameter in the Replace Method - it basically ruined all my Find&Replace I've been using for years! Again, sorry nad thanks for your suggestion.
