Unicode Find Question

[George Lee]

Can Unicode be used in the range.Find function?

In this case, the Cyrillic font word is pasted in a textbox (MS Forms 2.0
library) that a range.Find.execute() routine uses as its Find.Text. How do
you assign an entire Unicode word to Find.Text? Word 2003, Windows XP.

Yes.

Doesn't assigning the textbox text to the find text work for you?

 

[George Lee]

Not as I would have thought.

Dim tempString as String
‘Displays as ???, which is fine since the editor doesn’t display Unicode,
the text still is Unicode.
tempString = TextBox1.Text
…
findRange.Find.text = tempString ‘ or findRange.Find.Text = TextBox1.Text ‘
is a problem. The actual find text is “???â€

 

[Tony Jollans]

It works fine for me and I don't know any option that could affect it.

Are you saying it actually finds a string of three question marks? Or finds
nothing? Or what?

D'uh! This was a programming mistake on my part. It does work fine after all.
Thanks.
