Excel Height of Row - RowHeight using Excel VBA

RowHeight property is used to get the Height

Returns the height of all the rows in the range specified, measured in points (point: Unit of measure referring to the height of a printed character. A point equals 1/72 of an inch, or approximately 1/28 of a centimeter.). Returns null if the rows in the specified range aren’t all the same height. Read/write Variant.

You can use the Height property to return the total height of a range of cells.


Sub Change_Header_Row_Height()


MsgBox "RowHeight = " & Range("A1").RowHeight _
& vbCrLf & "Height = " & Range("A1").Height

Range("A1").RowHeight = 90

End Sub


Differences between RowHeight and Height include the following:

Height is read-only.

If you return the RowHeight property of several rows, you will either get the row height of each of the rows (if all the rows are the same height) or null (if they’re different heights). If you return the Height property of several rows, you will get the total height of all the rows.


Range("A1").Height = 90

would give Object required 424 error

Get the Height & Width of Shapes / Figures in Word Document (Word VBA)

Height & Width of Shapes / InlineShapes in Word Document (Word VBA)

Figures are embedded in the word document and when they move they are a nemesis. Programmers are often given the job of aligning, resizing etc. Here is a simple example to get the height of the Shapes. Here you will notice that a particular inline shape has been singled out. You will get to know this if you run this in the document:)

Sub Figure_Attributes()
Dim sRep
sRep = ""
For I = 1 To ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count
If ((ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Type > 0 And ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Type <> 7 And ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Type < 18)) Then
Height = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Height
Width1 = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Width
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(I).Select
If Selection.Fields.Count = 0 Then
sRep = sRep & fname & vbTab & Height & vbTab & Width1 & vbCr
End If
End If
Next I
For I = 1 To ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count
Height = ActiveDocument.Shapes(I).Height
Width1 = ActiveDocument.Shapes(I).Width
ActiveDocument.Shapes(I).Select
sRep = sRep & fname & vbTab & Height & vbTab & Width1 & vbCr
Next I
MsgBox "Attributes of all the shapes in " & ActiveDocument.Name & vbCrLf & sRep
End Sub

Export Character Styles from Word Document / Export Paragraph Styles from Word Document

Here is the simple macro for extracting character & paragraph styles from a Word document. This exports the styles to a new word document



Sub Export_Styles_In_Document()

Dim oSource As Document
Dim oRep As Document
Dim oPara As Paragraph

Set oRep = Documents.Add



Set oSource = ActiveDocument
For I = 1 To oSource.Styles.Count
If oSource.Styles(I).Type = wdStyleTypeParagraph Then
SType = "Para"
oRep.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc").Select
Set oPara = oRep.Paragraphs.Add
Set oPara = oRep.Paragraphs.Add
oPara.Range.Text = SType & ": " & oSource.Styles(I).NameLocal
Else
SType = "Char"
End If
Next I
For I = 1 To oSource.Styles.Count
If oSource.Styles(I).Type = wdStyleTypeParagraph Then
SType = "Para"
Else
SType = "Char"
oRep.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc").Select
Set oPara = oRep.Paragraphs.Add
Set oPara = oRep.Paragraphs.Add
oPara.Range.Text = SType & ": " & oSource.Styles(I).NameLocal
End If
Next I
oRep.Activate
End Sub
