Office-JS忽略Word for Mac中的尾随换行符

Question

In my Office-JS Add-In I'm inserting a text with a trailing newline and set the cursor to the end of this text like this:

function myInsertTest() {
  Word.run(function(context) {
    var selectedRange = context.document.getSelection();
    selectedRange.insertText("myText", "End");
    selectedRange.insertText("\r\n", "End");
    selectedRange.select("End");
    return context.sync();
  });
}

In Word 2016 on Windows the cursor is correctly set to the second line, but in Word for Mac (Version 16.11) the cursor is set to the end of the first line.

So if I run this function for example 3 times in a row this results in the following texts:

On Windows:

myText
myText
myText
<-- Cursor is here

On Mac:

myTextmyTextmyText<-- Cursor is here
// 3 new lines following

---

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

You can avoid dealing with new line oddities by allowing Word to handle this for you. The trick is to provide insert an HTML <br> tag using insertHtml() instead:

function myInsertTest() {
  Word.run(function(context) {
    let selectedRange = context.document.getSelection();
    selectedRange.insertText("myText", "End");
    selectedRange.insertHtml("<br />&nbsp;", "End");
    selectedRange.select("End");
  });
}

Note that the   is required to get around Word being a little too clever and ignoring a break that doesn't have any content after it.

This actually a bug and in fact its now failing in the latest builds for Windows. Thanks for reporting this issue we will look into it and fix soon.

You can use the JavaScript

String.fromCharCode(13)

to insert ANSI 13 (the character Word uses). So:

function myInsertTest() {
  Word.run(function(context) {
    var selectedRange = context.document.getSelection();
    selectedRange.insertText("myText", "End");
    selectedRange.insertText(String.fromCharCode(13), "End");
    selectedRange.select("End");
    return context.sync();
  });
}
