Edit a list in the custom file properties text box
I am trying to edit an entry in the custom file properties. The entry
contains a list of names used to produce a lits of Annexes. In the "Value" window I only ever see the first name. In the properties window below I see the list of names seperated by two small box symbols. 1. How do I insert a newline into the Value window? 2. How do I move to edit an entry (other than the first name) in the Value window? Thank you. |

Edit a list in the custom file properties text box
Hi ?B?Q2hyaXND?=,
I am trying to edit an entry in the custom file properties. The entry contains a list of names used to produce a lits of Annexes. In the "Value" window I only ever see the first name. In the properties window below I see the list of names seperated by two small box symbols. 1. How do I insert a newline into the Value window? 2. How do I move to edit an entry (other than the first name) in the Value window? I expect this entry was created using the object model (a macro). And that's the only way you'd be able to add "new lines" (I'm guessing that's what the boxes are for that you're seeing). You may want to contact whomever created this document and discuss how to best populate this property.

Edit a list in the custom file properties text box
AFAIK,
1- You can't - the entire entry is made on a single line, 2- Drag in the Value box until you get to what you want to change or click in the box & use the right arrow key to get there. What the small box symbols are I can't say. Is the item linked to a bookmarked list (is there a link icon in the Properties: list)? If so, click the item & the name of the bookmark will appear in the value box. You need to edit the list & the property will update. If not helpful please try to be a bit more descriptive... I'm honestly not sure I'm clear on what you're seeing & trying to change. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "ChrisC" wrote in message ...
