Automation Concepts in QTP and Selenium .

In this article, we will discuss how to manipulate microsoft word document using QTP and VBScript. Learning working with microsoft word can help the users to generate reports of test results in word document . We will discuss on code for following problems in this article

a. Creating a new Word document using vbscript in QTP
b. Opening an existing word document
c. Appending at the beginning and end of a word document.
d. Reading content of a word document.
e. Formatting text of a word document.

We will discuss on capturing images and working with table in MS word using vbscript in some another article:


Example 1 - Creating a new word document using vbscript. Writing some text in the document and closing the same

' Instantiate an object of word application
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
' Add a new item of word application object
objWord.Documents.Add
' Adding some text in the word document
objWord.Selection.TypeText "testing time"
' Save the document as provided
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\qtptesting.docx"
' Close instance of word application
objWord.Quit
' Release the object for word document.
Set objWord=Nothing

Example 2 - The above was example of adding a new document in case we wish to update an existing document, we can use the below code:


' Instantiate an object of word application
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
' Open an existing word document
objWord.Documents.open "C:\qtptesting.docx"
' Adding some text in the word document
objWord.Selection.TypeText "testing time 2"
' Save the document as provided
objWord.ActiveDocument.Save
' Close instance of word application
objWord.Quit
'Release the object for word document.
Set objWord=Nothing


Example 3 : Now we have seen the text in above example 2 writes "testing time 2" just before testingtime. Suppose we want to write the text testing 2 in a new line after text testing, we can write the code as


Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.open "C:\qtptesting.docx"

' Adding some text in the word document at the end of document:
objWord.Selection.EndKey 6,0
objWord.Selection.TypeText vbCrLf & "testing time 3"

objWord.ActiveDocument.Save
' Close instance of word application
objWord.Quit
'Release the object for word document.
Set objWord=Nothing

Example 4 : Next we want to format the text in the word document.

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.open "C:\qtptesting.docx"
' Adding formatting to the object, there will be lot of method to format , can refer to reference vbscript in QTP or word.
objWord.Selection.Font.Size ="18"
objWord.Selection.Font.Name ="18"
objWord.Selection.Font.bold = true
objWord.Selection.EndKey 6,0
' formatting changes in the code completes
objWord.Selection.TypeText vbCrLf & "testing time 3"
objWord.ActiveDocument.Save
' Close instance of word application
objWord.Quit
' Release the object for word document.
Set objWord=Nothing

Example 5: Reading content of a word document and storing in a string


Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.open "C:\qtptesting.docx"
set objdoc = objWord.Activedocument
strWordtext = ""

' read the number of words in the document and loop through the number of characters
iWordCnt= objdoc.Words.count
For i = 1 to iWordCnt
strWordtext = strWordtext + objdoc.Words(i)
Next
msgbox strWordtext
' specific changes in the code completes

objWord.Quit
'Release the object for word document.
Set objWord=Nothing
