SYMPTOMS
When you record a macro to use a document style (on the Format menu, click Style), the Styles property is recorded as a string instead of the predefined constant.

For example, if you record choosing the Heading 1 style (on the Format menu, click Style, and view the Styles list), the following Visual Basic for Applications command is recorded:

Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")

Because this string value may be incompatible with a non-English language version of Word, the correct syntax is to use the predefined constant, as in the following example:

Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleHeading1)



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
