vba - changing width of taskpanes - Office 365 Dec 2020

[Charles Kenyon]

The following commands work differently. The one for the Navigation Pane works, that for the Styles Pane does not.

Code: Select all

application.CommandBars("Styles").Width  = 550
application.CommandBars("Navigation").width = 550

For both the panes are currently displayed.

Office 365

The commands both work in Word 2010.

Strange - it works for me for both task panes in Word in Office 2019 ProPlus, which has the same code base as Word in Office 365.

I'll keep tinkering and if I figure anything out I will post.

I see the same thing as Charles. This is in MS 365 Version 2011 (Build 13426.20306) Current Channel (Preview).

When I start Word with the \a switch (no Add-Ins) the command works on the Styles Pane!

Tried with a new Normal.dotm - command does not work.
Unloaded all of my template Add-Ins (~20) - command does not work.
Unloaded COM Add-Ins (Adobe and Dropbox) - command does not work.

When it does not work, it does not throw an error. It just (apparently) does not do anything.

Also using MS 365 Version 2011 (Build 13426.20294) Monthly Channel but not Insider.
