WD: ShowVars Command Doesn't Display Array Variables |
Q81863
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows, version 7.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word, the WordBasic command ShowVars does not display numeric or string-array variables. It displays only single- value-numeric or string variables.
WORKAROUND
The following word Basic code segment illustrates how to view the content of an array while the macro is running.
dim num(100) dim alpha(100) msgbox "the cell you want to see" + Str$(num(x)) MsgBox "the cell you want to see" + alpha(x)
Where x is the number of the cell of interest. For small array it may be feasible to use a For Next loop to view the contents of the entire array.
STATUS
This is by product design.
