automating form entries
I have a contract that depending on the variables selected from drop down
boxes, specific language is inserted in the document related to the selections. I think I need to record exit macros for my drop down boxes, but I am not sure how to do that. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. |

automating form entries
You do not need macros for this, you need conditional fields (IF fields) and
you need to have the property for "calculate on exit" checked for your drop-down fields. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. For information on the IF field check help and/or http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...861631033.aspx Hope this helps, -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
