from combobox to document

[saban]

How the hell can I put Name that is selected in ComboBox into document

It must be very easy but I cant figure it out :(

[lucas]

well...is it on a userform or on the page?

[lucas]

does it go in a form on the page or to a bookmark?

[lucas]

try this on a userfom:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim oBM As Word.Bookmarks
Set oBM = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
'Bookmark name is Example 1
oBM("Example1").Range.Text = ComboBox1.Value
End Sub

Well it is on User form and the text from it should just be inserted in selection (or where cursor is) no big deal

thnx

Something like this?
Selection.TypeText Text:=ComboBox1.Value

[fumei]

Or if you are replacing the selection text....Selection.Text = Combobox1.Text

Or, if you are putting the Combobox text after the Selection....Selection.Range.InsertAfter Text:=ComboBox1.Text

As you do not state what you actually want to do, the answer is:

You can put the combobox text anywhere you want using either Selection.Text, Selection.Typetext, or the various properties of Selection.Range (InsertBefore, InsertAfter, Paragraphs.......and THEIR properties)

For example, you could have a paragraph, such as:

"This is a paragraph of such text and it really doesn't matter what the heck it is, as I am going to replace it with something else now."

And a combobox with three items:

"blah"
"who cares"
"what?"


Say you select "who cares" as the item, and run:
Selection.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = ComboBox1.TextThen - assuming the Selection is IN that paragraph - the paragraph text regardless of whether the selection covers the whole paragraph (or not), will become the combobox1.text.

That paragraph text will become "who cares".

All the properties of Selection (and its Range, AND the properties of the range) are available to you.
