SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, the WordBasic.Input macro command truncates text if your input text contains a comma. The text is truncated from the first comma to the end of the input text.

For example, if you input:

Doe, John

the status bar result will be:

Doe



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To correct this problem, replace the commas entered on the status bar with semicolons. If you insert the input text into a document, you can then replace the semicolons with commas.

NOTE: Beginning in Word 97 for Windows and Word 98 Macintosh Edition, there is no Visual Basic for Applications equivalent for the Input command as used in earlier versions of Word. To use this feature in Visual Basic for Applications, use the WordBasic Property as in the following example: Sub StausBarInput WordBasic.Input a     StatusBar = a   End Sub



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
