I’m working on a document ‘wizard’ for the company that I work for. It’s a .dot file with a header consisting of some text and some form fields, and a lot of VBA code. The body of the document is pulled in as an OLE object from a separate .doc file.
Currently, this is being done as a Shape, rather than an InlineShape. I did this because I can absolutely position the Shape, whereas the InlineShape always appears at the beginning of the document.
The problem with this is that a Shape doesn’t move when the size of the header changes. If someone needs to add or remove a line from the header due to a special case, they also need to move the object that defines the body. This is a pain, and I’d like to avoid it if possible.
Long story short, how do I position an InlineShape using VBA in Word?
The version I’m using is Word 97.
InlineShape is treated as a letter. Hence, the same technique.
