ChrW for Unicode ?

[TaintedFlames]

Hi,
I'm having problem with a dash. It's a "tiret d'union". The problem is I don't know how to find it. It looks exactly like a normal dash. It's Unicode # is U+0020 , which isn't even on the character map! I also tired to copy paste into my code, but unless you have rich text support you can't see it.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Insert the character into your document.

Select the character.

In the VB Editor, use Add Watch of use a MsgBox to display the ascii value of the character.

Does this help?

Hi Skip,
I'm not sure, I fully understand. You want me to paste the dash in watch? Cause I can't paste it anywhere...
Or do you want me to make a macro that displays the acsii code of the character.

Don't remember saying anything about paste. The latter is what I suggested.

Hi Skip,
Sorry, I forgot to mention, it's not an normal dash. So I dunno how to get it normally. It gets formatted by word that way. It looks EXACTLY the same though. I'm really bummed on this...

Thanks for your help.

Did you try macro recording the formatting process?

You lend me down the right path. I looking to re-create it, and it was coming out the same. So I tired looking for it, and found the option in word's find "non-breaking hyphen" which found. So I matched the patern it used to find it ("^~").



Thanks skip!

If you know the Unicode number, at least with Word 2002 (XP), you can convert typed numbers directly into a document and convert to Unicode by:

typing in the number U+0020
pressing Alt-X

by code:

Selection.TypeText Text:="U+0020"
Selection.ToggleCharacterCode
