 Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 6:53 pm Post subject: Open Office "Variable Names" |
 |
|
I'm not exactly sure what to call this... but here's what I'd like to do - hopefully you'll be able to help me out.
I have a list of 20 or so names and I'd like the intro of a letter I'm writing to look like...
| Quote: | Dear {name},
blah blah. |
Okay, so is there a way I can add this list of names to OO and have them printed out so the name is different in each letter?
I could probably program something to do this - but that's a pain in the butt and I imagine there's something in OO that already does this.
Thanks so much. |

It is possible to put variable declaration with Option Explicit at the top of the module. In that the first letter of the variable name indicates the type of value that the variable is going to hold. variable name and its meaning is:
a Structure
b Boolean (TRUE or FALSE)
e Enumeration. This variable can only have one of a limited set of values.
x Interface, to indicate that only operations of a particular interface of an object are used
v Variant, and there are many more used in open office..
