How do I get the table toolbar to auto appear when creating a tabl
Hi ?B?bWo=?=,
How can I get the table toolbar to automatically appear when I am creating or editing a table in Word 2003. I do not want the toolbar to be remain on all the time. There's nothing built into Word that will do this. There is a button on the toolbar (right next to the one for inserting tables) that will turn it on, though. Other than that, you'd need a set of macros to manage this. 1. Display the VB Editor (Alt+F11) 2. Click on the "Normal" project, then Insert/Class 3. Copy or type the folliwng code into the class module Public WithEvents x As Word.Application Private Sub X_WindowSelectionChange(ByVal Sel As Selection) If Sel.Information(wdWithInTable) Then Application.CommandBars("Tables and Borders").Visible = True Else Application.CommandBars("Tables and Borders").Visible = False End If End Sub 4. Insert/Module 5. Into this module, copy or type the following code Dim C As New Class1 Sub AutoExec() ActivateEvents End Sub Sub ActivateEvents() Set C.x = Word.Application End Sub Sub DeactivateEvents() Set C = Nothing End Sub AutoExec will run when you start Word. ActivateEvents starts the code in the class module. DeactivateEvents will turn the functionality off (but as things stand, you'd need to run this manually; You could assign it to a toolbar button if you wished). The code in the class considers where the cursor is (Sel = Selection). If it's in a table, the toolbar shows; otherwise not. This is triggered every time the location of the cursor in the document changes (except when you're typing).
