Aligning Paragraphs in a Macro
Summary: Using a macro to format your document (or portions of your document) is not all that uncommon. If you want your macro to change paragraph alignment within the document, there are just a couple of properties you need to focus upon. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
If you are writing a VBA macro, you may want to apply paragraph alignment formatting within your document. To do so, you use the Alignment property, as follows:
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
Notice that the Alignment property is set to a preset Word value, in this case wdAlignParagraphCenter. There are a number of different values you can use in your alignment:
- wdAlignParagraphLeft to align the paragraph to the left margin.
- wdAlignParagraphCenter to align the paragraph to the center of the print area.
- wdAlignParagraphRight to align the paragraph to the right margin.
- wdAlignParagraphJustify to align full lines within the paragraph with both left and right margins.
