Convert Method
Convert method as it applies to the Diagram object.
Converts a diagram of one type into a diagram of another type.
expression.Convert(Type)
expression Required. An expression that returns a Diagram object.
Type Required MsoDiagramType. The type of diagram to which to convert.
| MsoDiagramType can be one of these MsoDiagramType constants. |
| msoDiagramCycle Shows a process with a continuous cycle. |
| msoDiagramMixed Not used with this method. |
| msoDiagramOrgChart Shows hierarchical relationships. |
| msoDiagramPyramid Shows foundation-based relationships. |
| msoDiagramRadial Shows relationships of a core element. |
| msoDiagramTarget Shows steps toward a goal. |
| msoDiagramVenn Shows areas of overlap between elements. |
Convert method as it applies to the Endnotes and Footnotes objects.
Converts endnotes to footnotes, or vice versa.
expression.Convert
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the above objects.
Convert method as it applies to the ListTemplate object.
Converts a multiple-level list to a single-level list, or vice versa.
expression.Convert(Level)
expression Required. An expression that returns a ListTemplate object.
Level Optional Variant. The level to use for formatting the new list. When converting a multiple-level list to a single-level list, this argument can be a number from 1 through 9. When converting a single-level list to a multiple-level list, 1 is the only valid value. If this argument is omitted, 1 is the default value.
Remarks
You cannot use the Convert method on a list template that is derived from the ListGalleries collection.
Example
As it applies to the Diagram object.
This example creates a pyramid diagram and then converts it into a radial diagram.
Sub CreatePyramidDiagram()
Dim dgnNode As DiagramNode
Dim shpDiagram As Shape
Dim intCount As Integer
'Add pyramid diagram to current document
Set shpDiagram = ThisDocument.Shapes.AddDiagram( _
Type:=msoDiagramPyramid, Left:=10, _
Top:=15, Width:=400, Height:=475)
'Add four child nodes to the diagram
Set dgnNode = shpDiagram.DiagramNode.Children.AddNode
For intCount = 1 To 3
dgnNode.AddNode
Next intCount
With dgnNode.Diagram
'Automatically formats the diagram
.AutoFormat = msoTrue
'Converts the diagram from a pyramid to a radial diagram
.Convert Type:=msoDiagramRadial
End With
End SubAs it applies to the Endnotes object.
This example converts all endnotes in the active document to footnotes.
Set endDocEndnotes = ActiveDocument.Endnotes
If endDocEndnotes.Count > 0 Then myEndnotes.ConvertAs it applies to the Footnotes object.
This example converts the footnotes in the selection to endnotes.
If Selection.Footnotes.Count > 0 Then Selection.Footnotes.ConvertAs it applies to the ListTemplate object.
This example converts the first list template in the active document. If the list template is multiple-level, it becomes single-level, or vice versa.
ActiveDocument.ListTemplates(1).Convert
