Wizard Object (Publisher)

  • Article

Represents the publication design associated with a publication or the wizard associated with a Design Gallery object.

Example

Use the Wizard property of a Document, Page, Shape or ShapeRange object to return a Wizard object. The following example reports on the publication design associated with the active publication, displaying its name and current settings.

Dim wizTemp As Wizard 
Dim wizproTemp As WizardProperty 
Dim wizproAll As WizardProperties 
 
Set wizTemp = ActiveDocument.Wizard 
 
With wizTemp 
 Set wizproAll = .Properties 
 MsgBox "Publication Design associated with " _ 
 & "current publication: " _ 
 & .Name 
 For Each wizproTemp In wizproAll 
 With wizproTemp 
 MsgBox " Wizard property: " _ 
 & .Name & " = " & .CurrentValueId 
 End With 
 Next wizproTemp 
End With

Note

Depending on the language version of Microsoft Publisher that you are using, you may receive an error when using the above code. If this occurs, you will need to build in error handlers to circumvent the errors. The following example functions as the code above but has error handlers built in for this situation.

Sub ExampleWithErrorHandlers() 
 Dim wizTemp As Wizard 
 Dim wizproTemp As WizardProperty 
 Dim wizproAll As WizardProperties 
 
 Set wizTemp = ActiveDocument.Wizard 
 
 With wizTemp 
 Set wizproAll = .Properties 
 Debug.Print "Publication Design associated with " _ 
 & "current publication: " _ 
 & .Name 
 For Each wizproTemp In wizproAll 
 With wizproTemp 
 If wizproTemp.Name = "Layout" Or wizproTemp _ 
 .Name = "Layout (Intl)" Then 
 On Error GoTo Handler 
 MsgBox " Wizard property: " _ 
 & .Name & " = " & .CurrentValueId 
 
Handler: 
 If Err.Number = 70 Then Resume Next 
 Else 
 MsgBox " Wizard property: " _ 
 & .Name & " = " & .CurrentValueId 
 End If 
 End With 
 Next wizproTemp 
 End With 
End Sub
