HOW DO I CREATE A ENVELOPE TEMPLATE
I have an envelope for my shipping dept. that has basic criteria that they
have to manually type in on an old typewriter. What I want to do is to create a template to where they can fill in the criteria on their PC's, thereby getting rid of the old typewriter. For example the current envelope has Order# printed on the front and they have to manually type in the order # using the typewriter. I've tried to create my own template, but whenever I try to enter the criteria, the existing print (i.e., Order# will move according to what I type). I just want them to be able to bring up the envelope and just fill in the blanks without messing up the existing forms. |

Look into macrobutton fields and online forms. (These are alternative
solutions.) See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton and http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more about macrobutton fields. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.

Hi, Lee. I, too, have instructions on creating forms, and also an envelope
template. So, create your template using the instructions he http://www.theofficeexperts.com/word...s&LabelsTricks And then turn it into a fill-in form by following the instructions he http://www.theofficeexperts.com/word.htm#Fill-inForms OR use macrobuttons (which Charles mentioned) by using the instructions he http://www.theofficeexperts.com/word...asyGuidedForms I hope this helps! ******************* ~Anne Troy www.piersontech.com www.mrexcel.com "Lee" wrote in message ...
