Can I really automate a Word template?
Wordperfect trumps Word hands down in automating a document. In WP a
customizable popup window allows me to lookup a name & address (in addressbook), add other options, like subject(reference). Using this info populates a form (letter, fax, transmittal, etc) with the mailing address, salutation, subject.... Leaving me with typing a message and printing. Can Word do this? If so, how? Is it possible for a limited experience programmer? Thanks. |

A UserForm can do the same thing in Word. For an idea of how this would
work, try using Word's built-in Letter Wizard. -- Suzanne S.

I've been there and done that in a template(two thumbs up); will it work in a
userform? Thanks.

No. A userform is a different way of doing things - see Word MVP FAQ -
Userforms http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JF wrote: I've been there and done that in a template(two thumbs up); will it work in a userform?

Letter wizard works well (but a little complicated). I'll try the userforms.
Is there a secret to extracting info in Contacts? Thanks. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: A UserForm can do the same thing in Word.
