MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004WordBasic call CountMacros always returns 3
I am working on application that uses "WordBasic" method calls. One of the call it uses is "CountMacros". I invoke the application with a word document that has macros "Macro1" and "Macro2" as part of normal.dot template to perform some functionality. Now the "CountMacros" call should return 5. But it doesnot do so. I checked the macro names, it lists "ThisDocument", "NewMacros" and "Module1" as the only macros available. I am able to view as well as use the macros "Macro1" and "Macro2" in the word document manually but not programatically. I cannot change the "WordBasic" calls. Can anyone help me out with reasons for such behavior? OR Am I doing something wrong? OR Do I need to do anything else to get the macros in my program? Thanks in advance. Hi Uday, The behaviour od this changed when Word went from WordBasic to VBA in Word 97. WordBasic.CountMacros now counts modules, not macros. I'm not aware of any reliable way of counting macros.

Not to steal Jonathan's thunder, but I've done quite a bit of WordBasic conversion recently and I found the following MSDN page that lists WordBasic-to-VBA conversions to be quite helpful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbawd10/html/wo howWordBasicEquivalents.asp Watch for line breaks. IIRC, I found that URL from w/in VBA help in Word. I think I hit F1 while highlighting a WordBasic statement, and got to the URL a couple of steps later. hth, -Peter > Hi Jonathan, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > I'm not aware of any reliable way of counting macros. Hi Uday, there is plenty of information in the VBA-Help. Just search help for "Visual Basic". Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP "red.sys" & chr(64) & "t-online.de" Word XP, Win 98 http://word.mvps.org/ Hi, Thank you for the answers. I shall try out at the conversion process and get back if anthing in need.

Take a look here Most of the WordBasic methods are simply the old WordBasic commands > OR > Where can I find information regarding equivalent calls in VBA.?

These articles will help Making the transition from WordBasic to VBA http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/WordBasicToVBA.htm Useful WordBasic commands that have no VBA equivalent http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/WordBasicCommands.htm The methods of the WordBasic object are mainly the WordBasic command from Word 95. The second of the articles contains a link to a location on the Microsoft website where you can download the Word 95 Wordbasic Help file.
