MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005Padding cell contents with ... to the end
Hi! I am creating a table programmatically in C# / Word 2000. I need to pad the contents of some cells with "." to the end of the cells. I can not figure out how to do it. How do I find how many characters a cell can hold ? I can get the Width of the cell but I can not determined based on the font size how many characters I can fit. Any ideas/suggestions/ samples are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, How about inserting a tabstop with a ... leader at the end of the cell and then insert the text and a vbtab character.

I searched on the internet on how to create a tabstop programmatically and could not find anything. Can you recommend a site or code sample please? How do I manually insert the tabstop you mentioned - I can not find this option in Word ?

Here is the example from that source: Selection.Paragraphs(1).TabStops.Add Position:=InchesToPoints(1), _ Leader:=wdTabLeaderDots, Alignment:=wdAlignTabLeft I've no idea however how you would do that in C#. Probably better to ask in a newsgroup devoted to that language than here. SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

I've played with your suggestion extensively and still unable to fill the rest of a table cell with dots :-(. Please let me know if you come across some examples.

Like this, but only a workaraound and pretty slow. And make sure, you are in print view, and to switch back to normal view and again to printview. Otherwise, Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) might not work. Sub test00001() Dim l1 As Long ' first Line Dim l2 As Long ' second line after inserting a dot Dim oTbl As Table Dim oCll As Cell For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Range.Tables oTbl.AllowAutoFit = False '!!! For Each oCll In oTbl.Range.Cells oCll.Select Selection.End = Selection.End - 1 Selection.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd l1 = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) Selection.TypeText Text:="." l2 = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) If l2 <> l1 Then Selection.TypeBackspace Else While l1 = l2 l1 = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) Selection.TypeText Text:="." l2 = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) Wend End If Selection.TypeBackspace Next Next End Sub Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP "red.sys" & chr(64) & "t-online.de" Word XP, Win 98 http://word.mvps.org/ Thank you very much, it's exactly what I am looking for. > Hi Mike, > I think you might want to add dots to some text before the cells [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > Word XP, Win 98 > http://word.mvps.org/ |
