MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following Visual Basic for Applications macro sample returns an array that contains the names of all writing styles available for the U.S. English language. Each writing style and its number in the array are also displayed in a message box through means of a loop set to iterate for the total number of items in the array.

   Sub GetWritingStyles()
      ' Dimension the array as type "variant."
      Dim WrStyles As Variant
      Dim iCount As Integer
      ' Assign the values to the array.
      WrStyles = Languages(wdEnglishUS).WritingStyleList
      ' Loop the number of items in the array and display
      ' each item and its array position.
      For iCount = 1 To UBound(WrStyles)
         MsgBox WrStyles(iCount)
      Next iCount
   End Sub
