Text.ImportFromFile

Sub ImportFromFile(FileName As String, StartIndex As Long, [IndexingType As cdrTextIndexingType = cdrCharacterIndexing])

Member of Text

The ImportFromFile method inserts the contents of a text file into a text object at specified position.


Parameter	Description
FileName	Specifies the full path and filename of the file
StartIndex	Specifies the position of the inserted text file
IndexingType	Specifies the type of text to be indexed in the StartIndex parameter, and returns a value of cdrTextIndexingType. The indexing type can be character, word, or paragraph. This parameter is optional, and its default value is cdrCharacterIndexing (0).

The following VBA example saves the second-to-fifth paragraphs to a text file, and it then inserts that text at the beginning of the text object.

Sub Test()

ActiveShape.Text.ExportToFile "C:\Temp.txt", 2, 4, cdrParagraphIndexing

ActiveShape.Text.ImportFromFile "C:\Temp.txt", 1, cdrParagraphIndexing

End Sub
