Hi Ken,

There are a few ways to do this. One is the method you used - replacing
the constants with their literal values. Another is to set a reference to
the Word object library via Tools | References. Once Excel has the object
library reference, it will "know" the values of the Word constants.

I needed an Excel macro that would let the user enter information
about a client into a worksheet, then, with the click of a button,
open a Word document that I had built that contained placeholders for
the actual information. All the information from the worksheet needed
to be inserted into the Word document and then the document needed to
be printed.
I recorded macros in Word for the replace and print functions. I
copied those to the Excel macros and everything worked fined until it
ran into this:

wdPrintAllPages

which is a Word constant and apparently, there wasn't way to access
the Word constants from an Excel macro.

Is that right? If not, how do I change "wdPrintAllPages" so that it
will return that value in Excel.

I was able to find the value of those in VBE for Word and simply hard
coded them into my macros, but I was wondering if there were a more
elegant way to do this.


Thanks for any suggestions.
