Accessing other enumerations in Word VBA

John 406

I would like to know more about accessing other enumerations, for example: Spelling not in dictionary enumeration as demonstrated in this screenshot below.

Spelling not in dictionary

John 406

Does the View.Type property depends on the spelling corrections as they are shown here in these screenshots and the code snippet below?


Sub MacroThree()
Dim selectX As Selection
Dim lngX As Long
lngX = lngX + 1
Set selectX = Selection
    selectX.Words(lngX).Select
    selectX.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
    If Word.WdSpellingErrorType.wdSpellingNotInDictionary = True Then
        selectX.Delete   'although this line interprets well, it does not do the
                        'job of deleting the word that's not in the dictionary.
    End If
End Sub

The Type property was just intended as an example of a property that makes use of enumerated values. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Well, you can't really find any additional information by looking at the listed enumerations in the Object Browser, because clicking the help button will just generate an error message.

What you can do is read about an enumerated value when you read a help topic that describes a property or method which makes use of such a value. For example, the help topic on the Type property of the View object gives you some info (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.view.type?f1url=%3FappId%3DDev11IDEF1%26l%3Den-US%26k%3Dk(vbawd10.chm161808384)%3Bk(TargetFrameworkMoniker-Office.Version%3Dv16)%26rd%3Dtrue).
