Word 2002 - Unhide Grahpic in Header

[Guest]

I need to write a macro which will open a header, file the hidden graphic,
and make the graphic visible.

Does anyone know how to do this? I can open the Header and Footer, but when
I do a find for the graphic, it does not find anything.

You can address a graphic in a specified range directly, without having to Find
it. Since you can hide it, I'm assuming it's not been formatted with any text
wrap. This would make it an InlineShape (as opposed to a Shape). So something
along these lines:

Dim doc as Word.document
Dim rng as Word.Range
Dim ils as Word.InlineShape

Set doc = ActiveDocument
Set rng = doc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
rng.InlineShapes(1).Range.Font.Hidden = false

Are you writing Visual Basic?

Most macros we create are through Tools and Macros, not Visual.

I found that if I pause record, and choose the macro, and then start
recording, the macro runs as I intended.

Thanks.

ALL macros you record are written down as Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA). Choose one of your macros in Tools/Macro/Macros, then click
"Edit" and you'll see what I mean

If you want a macro to do something that the macro recorder can't
handle, then you must edit it or, sometimes, write the macro from
scratch.

I found that if I pause record, and choose the macro, and then start
recording, the macro runs as I intended.

If this works for you, that's fine
