Inserting a row with a form field.
I have a table setup withtwo columns to insert a new row when you tab through
the las column. Using this code: With Selection If .Information(wdWithInTable) Then .Tables(1).Rows.Last.Select .InsertRowsBelow 1 End If End With And all is good, except that I would like to create the new row with a 'Text Form Field' in each column. The last row of my table already has the form fields. So is it possible to, when inserting the new row, to have it also insert the form fields or maybe have it copy the filds from the previouse row? thx |

The following macro does what you want. Watch out for the linebreaks
inserted by the mail program. Sub addrow() ' Macro created 02/02/03 by Doug Robbins ' To add a new row to a table containing formfields in every column ' automatically on exit from the last cell in the present last row of the table Dim rownum As Integer, i As Integer ActiveDocument.Unprotect ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Add rownum = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(rownum, i).Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput Next i ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(ActiveDocument.Table s(1).Rows.Count, ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Count).Range.Form Fields(1).ExitMacro = "addrow" ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(ActiveDocument.Table s(1).Rows.Count, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Select ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub -- Hope this helps.

The following code is a bit more complicated than what you showed, but it has two main advantages: (1) it doesn't move the Selection, which corresponds to the insertion point in the document, and (2) it will insert the right number of fields, regardless of how many columns your table has. Dim myTable As Table Dim myRow As Row Dim ColNum As Long If Not Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then Exit Sub ' no table; don't do any more End If ' make an onject that represents the table Set myTable = Selection.Tables(1) ' add a row to the bottom of the table ' and make an object that represents the row Set myRow = myTable.Rows.Add ' use a loop to insert a form field into ' each cell in the new row For ColNum = 1 To myTable.Columns.Count ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add _ Range:=myRow.Cells(ColNum).Range, _ Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput Next ColNum ' clean up Set myRow = Nothing Set myTable = Nothing -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
