Hello,

I wrote a macro which enters into full-screen mode when I do certain
formatting.

I now like to define the view word goes into (page width) after I exit
full-screen mode. Preferably I like to hook that macro to the virtual button
that shows after entering full-screen mode.

How would I do that in Word 2003?

Kind regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,

The built-in command that runs both when you enter and exit full screen mode
is called ToggleFull.
You could hijack it and add your own code:

Sub ToggleFull()
MsgBox "ToggleFull"
WordBasic.ToggleFull
If ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.FullScreen Then
MsgBox "Add code to run when entering full screen mode here"
Else
MsgBox "Add code to run when eciting full screen mode here"
End If
End Sub

Regards,
Klaus

WordBasic?
How about

Sub ToggleFull()
MsgBox "ToggleFull"
ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen = Not ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen
If ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen Then
MsgBox "Add code to run when entering full screen mode here"
Else
MsgBox "Add code to run when exiting full screen mode here"
End If
End Sub

Hi Graham,

Don't knock WordBasic <g>

It's just the code Word runs if you use any control in the user interface.
So IMHO, it's much easier to run the code Word would run anyway, when you
hijack any control, than to try to mimick it with VBA.
I've very often seen the macro recorder recording different code for some
control, depending on the current selection, the view, option settings, and
so on. Or the macro recorder missed stuff the control did.

Regards,
Klaus
