Solved: flickering

[securityman]

Is there a command in Word to keep the screen from flickering when the marcro performs it's duty?

Such as :

Application.EnableEvents=False and then
Application.EnableEvents=True

as there is in Excel.

Thanks

Hi there,

Actually, EnableEvents will toggle events from firing, not stop screen refreshes.

From the Word help, you could try:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Code goes here
'To update in the middle add this line
Application.ScreenRefresh
'More code here
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Funny thing is that I don't remember it being this easy last time I tried it in Word...

Thanks Ken,
Actually that is what I meant. I always swap those two around for some reason.
Today I couldn't even remember ScreenUpdating even when trying to look it up in Help.
Thanks for refreshing my memory!
