Link to open new document from template
Hello,
In PowerPoint I can make a macro that creates a new document based on a certain template. Then I can select some text, right click it, select Actions and select to run the macro. That way, any reader can click the text and open the new document. I have used the same macro in Word but how can I make the text link clickable? I can make it work by using a MacroButton field but that requires a doubleclick from the user and its not obvious that it is a link (unless you put in the text "Doubleclick here" or something like that). Is there any other way to acomplish this? -- Fredrik E. Nilsen |

Hi Fredrik
You can change the double-click behaviour to single-click by using Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1 People generally use Macrobuttons with text like { Macrobutton NameOfMyMacro Click here to open the xxx file }. You could always format the link blue and underlined, and people may assume it's a link to click. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Fredrik E.

Any idea why such a thing is so difficult (so many steps at least) in Word when its so simple in PP? -- Fredrik E. Nilsen |
