Is it possible to speed up a process I'm doing in word? I've written a function that loads a file line by line, creates a new row in my table, and inserts data from the file accordingly - this works fine, but I have 2000 entries, and since Word shows everything(tables being made, etc.) it's slower for every page of rows that's added, so when it comes to a 1000 it's reeaalllyyy slow - can I hide it in any way ?
Cheers!
Your process could be made faster (by loading the whole file at once for example), if you want help there let us know.
For the main issue just do this:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
and when you finish (or have an error, or show a message to the user) you must do this:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
(otherwise you wont see anything in Word even if you close & re-open it ;) )
Ahh, k, Thanks ! - And yeah, I could load the file first and do a split on vbCrLf, good idea!Quote:
