I am surprised by how deep this show has been. for a kid’s show, it has been of the more entertaining shows I have seen in quite some time. I am only through the first half is the 2nd season, but can’t stop watching it.
I know this isn’t a lengthy review with specific examples of this show’s strengths and weaknesses, but I can’t recommend this show enough.
I have just come across the need to create an Excel workbook from a MS Word macro. I have simplified this code for the blog to simply move all text from Word into a new Excel workbook. This will provide a solid starting point for future use.
Option Explicit
Public Sub FormatInExcel()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim oXL As Excel.Application
Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim oRng As Excel.Range
Dim oDoc As Object
Set oDoc = ThisDocument
‘ Start Excel and get Application object.
Set oXL = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
oXL.Visible = True
‘ Get a new workbook.
Set oWB = oXL.Workbooks.Add
Set oSheet = oWB.ActiveSheet
‘ Do work
oDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory
oDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy
oSheet.Range(“A1″).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
‘ Release object references.
Set oRng = Nothing
Set oSheet = Nothing
Set oWB = Nothing
Set oXL = Nothing
Set oDoc = Nothing
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, “Error: ” & Err.Number
End Sub
Happy coding!
I have been looking forward to watching Invictus for quite some time now. I was able to finally take the time to watch it (thanks to Redbox availability!). Now I am not wholly sure why I was so looking forward to this story. It could have been the intriguing story of Nelson Mandela and the beginnings of his presidency, or how it so involved the South African Rugby team, or it could have possibly just been the fact that Morgan Freeman was the lead actor. In all honesty, it was probably the latter.
It didn’t dawn on me until the credits had rolled that this was another of Clint Eastwood’s directorial works. I have to say that the movie was engaging, well paced, and overall entertaining. I was able to overlook the somewhat difficult accents both Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon used in this movie. Granted, I am no expert when it comes to South African dialect, but it just felt stiff in comparison to the dialogue heard in “District 9″ (also based in South Africa). That aside, I felt the performances given by each actor was solid and heartfelt.
If you look at this movie as an inspirational sports movie like “Miracle”, “Remember the Titans”, “Rudy” or similar movies, then you will likely be disappointed. If you look at the movie as a journey of a fledgling leader attempting to unite his people through any means necessary, then you will likely enjoy the story. This movie ultimately succeeds in inspiring the viewer with an unlikely combination of politics and sports while rarely ever going “over the top.”
And, to answer your question, which I also asked, of “What does Invictus mean?” Well, I learned that it is Latin for “unconquered”. An apt title for this journey.
