Saving formatting

[Alex]

Hello,

How can do the following programmatically (in a macro or add-in):

1. Go to given position in the document
2. save the current formatting used (character, paragraph, etc.)
3. Inset several lines of text, formatted with a given style.
4. Restore the saved formatting and add some more text.


Best wishes,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

I don't think you need to save/restore anything.

3. Inset several lines of text, formatted with a given style.

I guess you mean "paragraphs", not "lines" (since you talk of applying a [paragraph?] style to the new text)?
In that case, you need to insert a paragraph mark anyway.
You can insert text at the end of the old paragraph, or below it, and format it any way you want.

Anything you insert at the start of the new paragraph will get all the character and paragraph formatting that was used at that point.

Greetings,
Klaus
