I am using an excel sheet to keep track of the finances of my afterschool program. Each week I am creating an invoice for the families that have a different balance, outputing from the excel file to a new word file. Everything works except I was wondering if it is possible to format the output within or before the Print # statement. Just typically word formatting things like size, font, underline and what not. If not, is there an alternative solution that I could use?
I am not entirely new to programming, but am new to VB. I have found answers to all of my other syntax type issues on the web or through the VB help, but had no luck with this problem.
Sample:
'Find the number of C sessions attended
a = Sheets(Week_of) .Range("P" & x).Value
'Print C Session # and associated cost
Print #1, a; " Session C (PM) @ $6.00"; Tab(40); "$"; a * 6
I would like to change the font size of the whole print statement as well as underline the a and a * 6 value.
Thanks for your help,
z

Hi,
Are you Saving the values to a TextFile and then printing from there or directly Printing to the Printer...?
If using Second option, the "Printer" class has got all the Font Options.. -
Printer.FontName = "Courier New"
-
Printer.FontBold = True
-
Printer.Print "My First Doc"
-
Printer.FontBold = False
-
Printer.FontUnderline = True
-
Printer.Print "Second Line"
-
Printer.NewPage
-
Printer.EndDoc
-
Regards
Veena
I am currently writing to a text file (I want a copy saved for future reference) then printing that file. I also currently don't have a printer where I do most of my coding, so I need a file to test the formatting that will be created.
A couple of options come to mind.For instance... - Your VB code can drive Word directly, so in theory you could produce as fancy a report as you want.
- VB includes other ways to produce a "data report", which I don't have any experience with.
- This would be my preferred method. Add the Microsoft Rich TextBox Control to your project. Then you can throw your text into the RTB, select parts, format them how you want, then just save to an RTF file. Word will interpret RTF format, so it will come out the way you formatted it when loaded into Word. Make sure you save the file with extension ".RTF".

which were too specific), so you will have to rewrite it for yours, but you
may find it useful.... Any questions, please ask. Typing...

When constructing a particularly long and complicated command to be
sent to the shell, I usually do something like this, to make the
command as easy as possible to follow:
commands.getoutput(
'mycommand -S %d -T %d ' % (s_switch, t_switch) +
'-f1 %s -f2 %s ' % (filename1, filename2) +
'%s' % (log_filename)
)

Hello,
Thanks for your time.
We have very big files with python commands (more or less, 500000

It is possible to execute them command by command, like if the

Suppose I have many shell commands to be executed. And I don't want to
fork a sub shell for each command(eg: status,output =

each command's output. How can I accomplish this task ? Thanks in

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
