WD97: Error in Recorded Macro Using Previous/Next Row CommandsLast reviewed: March 5, 1998Article ID: Q167259 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you attempt to record a macro using the Previous Row or Next Row buttons (in the Table Cell Height And Width dialog box), you do not receive the results you expect when you play back the macro.
CAUSEThis problem occurs when either of the following conditions is true when you record the macro:

For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/refguide/default.aspTo work around this problem, edit the recorded macro. In Visual Basic for Applications, there are several methods which can be used to move the insertion point. Shown below are suggested methods that can be used to effectively wrap the insertion point to the first or last row of the current table in a document.
Using the Previous Row commandLook for the following command line if you recorded a macro that uses the Previous Row command
Selection.Move Unit:=wdRow, Count:=-1and change the command line to the following:
' Make sure the insertion point is within a table. If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then ' If at top of table, If Selection.Rows(1).Index = 1 Then ' Wrap to bottom of table. Selection.Move Unit:=wdRow, Count:=Selection.Tables(1).Rows.Count Else ' Otherwise, move up one row. Selection.Move Unit:=wdRow, Count:=-1 End If End If Using the Next Row commandLook for the following command line if you recorded a macro that uses the Next Row command
Selection.Move Unit:=wdRow, Count:=1and change the command line to the following:
' Make sure the insertion point is within a table. If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then ' If at bottom of table, If Selection.Rows(1).Index = Selection.Tables(1).Rows.Count Then ' Wrap to top of table. Selection.StartOf wdTable, wdMove Else ' Otherwise, move down one row. Selection.Move Unit:=wdRow, Count:=1 End If End If STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
