Standardizing Note Reference Placement
Selecting Printing of Color Pictures
Normally, you add parentheses around your parenthetical remarks as you type your text. There may be times, however, when you want to add the parentheses at a later time. For instance, while editing your document you may select some text and then want parentheses added around the selected text. If you are using Word 6 or Word 95, you can use the following macro, AddParens:
Sub MAIN
If SelType() = 2 Then
T$ = Rtrim$(Selection$())
Insert "("
Insert T$
Insert ")"
End If
End Sub
This macro first checks to make sure you have selected some text. If so, the selected text is replaced with the proper text within parentheses.
Tip #478 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 95
Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
