Word Text - DOES ANYBODY KNOW???

[Pat Garard]

G'Day All,

I am trawling through a Document by Paragraph (and then
possibly by Sentence within Paragraph), intending to use
a particular translation engine to translate between
English <==> Italian.

Does anybody know of a DEFINITIVE list of 'special characters' that
might be encountered in the text from ....paragraphs(x).range.text??

e.g. EOText is chr(13) (as you might expect)
Blank Paragraph chr(13) (as you might expect)
Section Break chr(12) (Ahh.....)
Object Anchor chr(1) + chr(13) in Blank Para (well...)

....others......?????

Hi Pat,

I think it would be a good idea to guard against any character whose Asc
value is less than 32, and treat it as a control character of some kind and
leave it alone.

Your list is inaccurate in some ways. For instance, Chr(12) is a page break.
A section break might be chr(12) or Chr(13) depending on whether it is a
continuous or next page break.

On addition, Chr(9) is a tab character, Chr(160) is a non-breaking space.
You can find others by going to Insert Symbol, and in the dalog that
appears, selecting the Special Characters tab.

Many Thanks Jonathan!

Some more control characters you may come across:
embedded objects/pictures ^1
footnotes/endnote references ^2
comment markers ^5
manual line breaks ^11
column breaks ^14
opening/closing field braces ^19/^21
nonbreaking hyphens ^30
optional hyphens ^31

Hi Jonathan,

Sure? Both page breaks and any kind of section break seem to result in
ChrW(12) for me.
