Creating styles with conditional formating
What I want to do is to create a style such that a global variable (in the
custom template) defines some formating...namely whether font is hidden or shown. Variable in the doc template I am ok with idea of an if true style x else style y but dont know how to make a style in word that does this (without manually typing all this in). Ie would like be able to place cursor and select style. I am ok with two styles: a field / bookmark for hidden on....and a fied/bookmark for hidden off Would like to stay away from VBA on this |

Creating styles with conditional formating
Hi vojo,
I can't think of any way to do this. I don't think there are any fields that apply styles. Fields can only reference text that has a style applied. Best that occurs to me is to use an IF field that checks the Variable and displays text according to that property. { IF {DocVariable abc}="on" "Show all this text" "" } What I want to do is to create a style such that a global variable (in the custom template) defines some formating...namely whether font is hidden or shown. Variable in the doc template I am ok with idea of an if true style x else style y but dont know how to make a style in word that does this (without manually typing all this in). Ie would like be able to place cursor and select style. I am ok with two styles: a field / bookmark for hidden on....and a fied/bookmark for hidden off Would like to stay away from VBA on this Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Creating styles with conditional formating
It is possible to define Styled text within a field (by extending the
technique that Cindy shows, perhaps including AutoTexts) but in this case it would seem to be more complicated than needed. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Cindy M." wrote in message news:VA.0000150a.9c47fdb4@vistapc...
