Phonetic Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

Phonetic Property

       

Returns the Phonetic object, which contains information about a specific phonetic text string in a cell.

Remarks

This property provides compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel. You should use Phonetics(index), where index is the index number of the phonetic text, to return a single Phonetic object.

For information about using phonetic worksheet functions in Microsoft Visual Basic, see Using Microsoft Excel Worksheet Functions in Visual Basic.

Example

This example sets the first phonetic text string in the active cell to "furiganafuriganafuriganafurigana".

ActiveCell.Phonetics(1).Text = "furiganafuriganafuriganafurigana"

To demonstrate compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, this example hides the Furigana characters in cell C5.

Range("C5").Phonetic.Visible = False
