Text.ImportFromFile method

Imports text from a file

Syntax:

Sub ImportFromFile(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal StartIndex As Long, Optional ByVal IndexingType As cdrTextIndexingType = cdrCharacterIndexing)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
FileName	String	Specifies the full path and filename of the file
StartIndex	Long	Specifies the position of the inserted text file
IndexingType	cdrTextIndexingType	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.

Remarks:

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

Examples:

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
