WordBasic.ResetChar and ResetPara broken in Word2003?

[Klaus Linke]

Hi everybody,

The old functions WordBasic.ResetChar() and WordBasic.ResetPara() were handy
for quickly deciding whether manual formatting had been applied.

In versions up to Word2002, with some text selected,
? WordBasic.ResetChar() would return 1 if there was no manual font
formatting in the selection, and 0 if there was.

? WordBasic.ResetPara() used to return -1 if there was no manual paragraph
formatting applied in the first paragraph of the selection, and 0 (zero) if
there was paragraph formatting that differed from that defined in the
paragraph style.

In Word2003, both seem to always return 0 (Word2003, SR1). Is this a new
bug, or just something weird on my machine?

Greetings,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

Help about reveils nothing about a service pack.

Hi Helmut,

Thanks for the confirmation. Maybe we should look out that it gets fixed
again in the next version.
Though maybe it was scratched on purpose to improve performance, and nobody
bothered to tell us?

Regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

"Verschlimmbesserung".

Maybe some bilingual genius will offer us a translation.
