Hi

I don't think you need macros for this job. Here's what I would do.

Create a template to hold your form. In that template, create AutoTexts, one
for each ending. An AutoText can contain just about anything: text, tables,
pictures etc. Give the AutoTexts useful names that will appeal to the users.

In the template, use Tools Customize to create a custom toolbar, and put a
button on the toolbar for each AutoText. Make sure that the Customize dialog
is showing that you're saving your efforts in the template.

When a user creates a new document from the template, the custom toolbar
will be available (and it will be hidden when the user views a document
based on any other template). The user then just clicks one buton to insert
the AutoText.

To distribute the template, you can do several things:

1. Point every user's Workgroup Templates location (which you find at Tools
Options File Locations) to a server folder, and put the template there.
The advantage is that you only have one copy of the template to update when
(not if!) that's necessary. Disadvantage is that laptop users can't access
it.

2. Create an intranet site and put a link to the template on the intranet
site, and store the template on a server. For how to do this, see

In any case, see

I have a template form consisting of one page of info, and then have 6
alternative endings for it. I need my staff to be able to simply hit a
key
to insert the correct ending (cutting and pasting is too complicated for
them!). I tried the macro in forms but that does not do what I need. I
also
need to have this macro available on a global network (not just individual
PCs). Please can anyone advise?
