Can you add a new field to the User Information catagory?
The user information catagory has User Name; User Address; User Initials. I
also need User Phone number or extension. Can you add it or is it somewhere else that I haven't been able to locate? |

No, AFAIK, you can't add to these. However, you could easily add AutoText
and use AutoText fields to bring such information into a document. What, specifically, are you trying to accomplish by having this information?

Thank you for the response. I was trying to create custom letterhead with
the user's direct telephone line. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: No, AFAIK, you can't add to these. However, you could easily add AutoText and use AutoText fields to bring such information into a document.

You can create custom document properties and insert them using DocProperty
fields, but these will be template-specific. -- Suzanne S.

I did this when I worked for a state agency that had over 50 different
offices. Each office had a global template containing AutoText entries for the local office information on the letterhead including address, phone numbers, and personnel. The letterhead (and pleading forms) were the same files throughout. They incorporated the local information from the local global template when documents were created based on the templates. The same thing can be done with each computer to localize even more. I would advise an autonew macro that updates all the AutoText fields in a document and then unlinks them. That way when a completed document is sent in electronic form to a different computer there would be no chance of the original creator's information confusing things. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
