Default Macro question

Thank you, Jay. That was simple enough. Not as nice as Excel works but
okay. I was not able to customize the borders because as soon as I choose a
light line for the top border it puts a light line on all four sides.
Three-dimentional will not work either. Don't know why, but I guess I'll
have to take it the way it is. It doesn't look like a button, but the words
are there to double-click. It's a mystery to me why it couldn't be done as
simple and nice as Excel does it. It's simple to create and it automatically
looks like a button. Connie

I'm using Word 2000. I would like to do in Word what I can so easily
do in Excel. In Excel on the Forms toolbar I click on "Button" and a
button appears on the spreadsheet and up pops the "Assign Macro" box.
I assign it a macro that I've already created. Why isn't it that
simple in Word? Or am I missing something? Can someone tell me how
to insert a button in a Word file and assign it a macro that I've
created, that when you click the button the macro will run, and that
will be able to whoever I e-mail the document to? Thank you. Connie


See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...roToButton.htm.

You should be aware that if you store a macro in a document and mail it to
another user, opening that document will display a message box asking
whether to disable or enable macros. As the originator of the document, you
have no control over what the recipient does with that message box.
