set up reminder flag next to fields on a form?
In Outlook, you can flag emails and set reminders with the flags. For
example, you click the flag, right-click, select set reminder, and you can be reminded of the email at a future time. Is it possible to do the same thing on a form field in Word? For example, next to a form field, I would like there to be a little flag that the user can click and set a reminder to fill in the field at a later date. Is there a macro that would do such a thing?

set up reminder flag next to fields on a form?
Hi Tom,
In Outlook, you can flag emails and set reminders with the flags. For example, you click the flag, right-click, select set reminder, and you can be reminded of the email at a future time. Is it possible to do the same thing on a form field in Word? For example, next to a form field, I would like there to be a little flag that the user can click and set a reminder to fill in the field at a later date. Is there a macro that would do such a thing? Tricky... You might be able to wangle it with a Macrobutton field (look that up in Word's help to get an idea). The macro would switch icons and perhaps keep a list in a Document VARIABLE of items that need reminding. It's actually getting the reminders that's going to be a problem. The only thing that Word has to trigger something is the VB OnTime function. It would be a bit complex, but I guess it could be done if the reminders wouldn't need to be too accurate.
