How do I create a template?
I need to create a template where the user can just click in thefield that
needs to be changed and enter their own information. For example, when I look at the templates on the Microsoft website and download a letter there are fields in there that look like this: [RicipientName] or [Address], etc. That's what I need information on. Here is another example of what I want: My first sentence would read as so: This is to confirm that [ClientsName] has agreed to purchase a service which will be delivered on [InsertDateHer]... etc... Does this make sense and can someone tell me how to do this in a very simple way? Thank you |

Thank you for your reply.
I've been trying to use that for the last 6 hours and I'm not having much success. There must be an easier way. Any clues? Thanks Capitals_Gem "Suzanne S.

Maybe http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm explains it in a way you find
eassier to understand? This is not rocket science. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Capitals_Gem wrote: Thank you for your reply.

It is a macrobutton field. See
http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton and http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more about macrobutton fields. You can type "MacroButton NoMacro [ Recipient Name ]" without the quotation marks. Select it and press Ctrl-F9 to insert field delimiters. Then press F9 to update your field. -- 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! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How do I create a template?
The article does assume that you know how to create a field. You do this by
using Insert | Field and choosing the field type or by pressing Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be typed from the keyboard) and then typing between them. If you use Insert | Field: MacroButton, Word will prompt you for the display text but will also require you to choose an existing macro from a list (if your document contains no macros, you'll see a list of Word commands). For the purposes of creating this field, you can choose any macro or command at random and then edit the field to say NoMacro instead (you can do this either in the dialog, by clicking the Field Codes... button) or in the document by pressing Alt+F9 to display the field code). -- Suzanne S.
