special characters from vba
Pedro,
But why not just print from Excel ? That is the easiest solution.

hi.
hmmm, lets say that my skills on "piloting" word from excel using vba are
not very deep to say the least.
i found the ascii approach simple and sufficient for my purpose. this
report
is just a summary of orders to be printed on completion and filed together
with the original po. in the mean time, i fiddled a bit with tables but if
i
can make the report neater with the ascii chars i would call it closed.
anyway, thank you for your suggestion that ill pursuit. if not for other
reason, to learn. otoh, if you know how to force those special characters,
it would be nice.
thank you in advance
Pedro Leite

Pedro,
Why not use the capability of Word and insert a table .
Or do you need to use ASCII characters for some reason ?

Good Morning
I have a bit of code that opens a new word doc, fill the document with
excel data, prints, close and so on
the thing is, the document is tabular and is limeted in row and columns
with " - " and " | "
example : ( make the window larger to fit )
now what i want is to use the box drawing characters available in the
extended ascii table ( corners, junction lines and so on ) asc 186 ,
205
and some others.
the font used is courier new and has a sub set, called box drawing that
has these caracters. how can i use them ??
thank you
Pedro Leite from Portugal.
