How to create memo form macro that pauses to fill in text?
How do I create a macro for a memo that when you run the macro it pauses so
you can fill in text, such as after "TO:" and then after you enter text there, it pauses after "FROM:", etc.? -- Your two-legged relative |

Maybe you need a form, not a macro? 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Sounds to me like you need a template rather than a macro. And, as a matter
of fact, Word ships with several memo templates. -- Suzanne S.

OK. What is VBA? Yes, the macro would itself would write the TO and FROM.
Not talking about an Outlook email. I'm working in Word's word processing software. No, I don't want a form or template. Thanks for your assistance. Any ideas, and how can I find out about VBA stuff? -- Your two-legged relative "Robert M.

Does a template pause for entering text? If so, which one would you suggest
I use? -- Your two-legged relative "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Sounds to me like you need a template rather than a macro.

How to create memo form macro that pauses to fill in text?
You can use macrobutton fields as place markers for your inserted text
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm , or you could create a userform to prompt for the information to be inserted. The only time you would need a macro to pause for user input would be if the macro was writing the whole memo, which I don't see as viable unless it is always the *same* memo you are creating? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mary Jane wrote: Does a template pause for entering text?

Hi MJ
Mary Jane wrote: Does a template pause for entering text? If so, which one would you suggest I use? it's exactly the "pause" that made me think you need a macro. Because I then assume you are having an automatism (a macro) running behind the scenes. [Hence my pointer to VBA = VisualBasic for Applications.] But if you don't need that, then you may use a form or a normal template. Put a 2x2 table in it, left side is the "TO"/"CC", right s for the user to write into what he needs. Sometimes, we're thinking too far, it seems ... :-) Greetings Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
