In MS Word VBA, what is the unit of measure "Story" and where does it fit into the hierarchy of units in a Word document? This reference only says that wdUnits.wdStory refers to "a story" which is not helpful. I couldn't find any other references that explain what I'm looking for. This is actually a more complicated question than most would think. In a Microsoft Word blog post stories are defined as: "...distinct regions of content that make up a Word document and share properties and functionality. Put differently, behind the scenes, Word breaks all documents up into a collection of chunks

I am creating a word document template and am at a bit of a crossroads. I would like to populate the document with figures created from MATLAB and Excel tables populated from MATLAB outputs. The figures are organized into folders and the Excel tables are organized in sheets in an Excel template as shown here: I have asked several previous questions here with respect to automatically updating these tables and figures and now have the code for this: Linked Table in MS Word Linked Images and Tables in MS Word The reports are long but vary in length.

Apart from just inserting and parsing text into a blank Word field, is there any way to programmatically build user-defined fields and field codes into my own templates with VBA? Furthermore, is there a way to make these fields show up in the list of available fields? I recently developed a solution that used Word's MACROBUTTON and ADDIN field types.

This allows my users to watch fields as they move around. { MACROBUTTON NoMacro * } would display

It doesnt interpret stuff like \sqrt, \times, \delta in the same way that it is interpreted when entered by hand. For example entering code Celsius = \sqrt(x+y) + sin(5/9 \times (Fahrenheit – 23 (\delta)^2)) into Equation will give this result http://i43.tinypic.com/10xc7zp.jpg which is fine.

It's well known that word's find and replace "wildcards" features suffer some severe limitations. The following code implements true regex find and replace in a word document, and variations on it are found in other Stackoverflow and SuperUser questions. Sub RegEx_PlainText(Before As String, After As String) Dim regexp As Object Set regexp = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") With regexp .Pattern = Before .IgnoreCase = True .Global = True 'could be any Range , .Range.Text , or selection object ActiveDocument.Range = .Replace(ActiveDocument.Range, After) End With End Sub However, this wipes the
