Can you create a text effect that is activated on a date in word?
I have created a action item list in ms word and when a task is overdue I
create a blinkiing background text effect on this task. Weekly the list is updated and re-distributed so everyone can see there flashing overdue tasks. Can this text effect be created automatically so I do not have to manually creat it? |

How about using the Format Painter? After formatting one, you can then just
use the Format Painter to wipe over the others that you wish to format in the same way. Not quite automatic, but very quick! -- Rae Drysdale "rscherer13" wrote: I have created a action item list in ms word and when a task is overdue I create a blinkiing background text effect on this task.

Yes you could automate it with a macro. Say your tickler is a two
column table with the task in column 1 and the due date in the right column. Something like this (you will probably want to put in error handlers): Sub Test() Dim oDate As Date Dim myDate As Date Dim oTbl As Word.Table oDate = Date Dim i As Long Set oTbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) For i = 1 To oTbl.Rows.Count myDate = Left(oTbl.Cell(i, 2).Range.Text, Len(oTbl.Cell(i, 2).Range.Text) - 2) If myDate oDate Then oTbl.Cell(i, 2).Range.Font.Animation = wdAnimationBlinkingBackground End If Next i End Sub |
