How to pass a variable to a function arguement

[niko79542]

Hi, Is there a way to randomize the wordart PresetTextEffect (i.e. msoTextEffect1, msoTextEfect20, etc..)?

This is what I have so far, but does not work.

Just put the randomization directly into the argument:

You can't refer to a constant using a string variable.

What I might do is create an array of all the msoTextEffect constants, then use the random number to select which item in the array to use.

Oops, never realised that msoTextEffect1, msoTextEffect2... had the values 0,1...

Yeah, I had to look it up real quick too to be sure, used this for reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.12%29.aspx

I actually looked in the Object Browser, obviously not close enough though.
