Create "Search" button
I have been charged with creating a simple file that holds standard responses
to questions. I have set up a table in Word with this information. Is it possible to have a "button" at the top of the document that once clicked executes the "Find" command? The end users are not techologically savvy and the intent is to make this easy to use and easy to maintain. Thank you. |

Create "Search" button
You can certainly add a toolbar button to open the Find dialog, if your
users are too clueless to use Ctrl+F. In the Tools | Customize dialog (Commands tab), select the Edit category, scroll down to Find, and drag it to a toolbar. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, you can have a "button" right on your form
Open your control toolbox toolbar, then select "command Button", place this button where you want it on your form, select the picture you want - or just use the text Find - then while still in the design mode, click on view code (this will take you to Visual Basic. Type the code you want or you may use this one Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Application.Run MacroName:="EditFind" Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindAsk .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With End Sub Go back to your form, unclick design mode and then click your find button - the find and replace command should pop right up Hope that helped!!
