PlantUML_Template_v30.dotm

Grapviz 2.38

plantuml.jar v 8022

 

When generating new plantuml image:

"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

Method 'ScaleHeight' of object 'InlineShape' failed"

It occurs in any diagrams.

Example:

@startuml

 [*] --> s0

s0 --> s1: A

s1 --> s2: B

s1 --> s3: C

s2 --> s3: D

s3 --> [*]: E

This happens if the image is being inserted in a section. Some of the ActiveDocument.PageSetup.XxxxxMargin property returns 99999 causing the runtime error.

To fix this edit the macro and replace all instances of "ActiveDocument.PageSetup......" with "currentparagraph.PageSetup......"

Applied this change to the V31 template. Fixed the issues I was seeing with sections in Word 2016. Thanks.

Great! Could you send us (plantuml@gmail.com) your patched V31 template ?
So that we could publish a V32
Thanks!
