 |
|
Hi all,
I am bringing text in from a dialog and want to place it in a named section in a document. I'm not sure if the following tack is the right one:
| Code: | Dim oDoc as Object
Dim oSections as Object
Dim oSec as Object
oDoc = thiscomponent
oSections = oDoc.getTextSections
oSec = oSections.GetByName("Instructions")
oSec.Text = "Hello" '<-- Fails |
Notably, the last line fails, since there is no ".Text" attribute of a section. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I missed one small part, this now works:
| Code: | Dim oDoc as Object
Dim oSections as Object
Dim oSec as Object
oDoc = thisComponent
oSections = oDoc.getTextSections
oSec = oSections.GetByName("Instructions")
oSec.Anchor.String = "Hello" |
Thanks for the pointer to Anchor!

It does indeed. I haven't tested it with text already in the section to see if it replaces what is already there, though I suspect it does.
