Creating a form - tutorial?
Hi all,
I would like to have one form that I can complete with somebodys details' and then select the type of letter to send them, and it propogates the details automatically. For example: Select 'yes' as they applied online. Select 'no' that they have not provided a resume yet. Select 'yes' that there are currently positions available in the area of their choice. With the above selections - the letter is propogated with all the appropriate paragraphs, as well as their personal data merged. I know how to do mail merges - but no ideas on creating this form.. Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial to suit the above please? |

Hi ?B?VG9kZA==?=,
I would like to have one form that I can complete with somebodys details' and then select the type of letter to send them, and it propogates the details automatically. For example: Select 'yes' as they applied online. Select 'no' that they have not provided a resume yet. Select 'yes' that there are currently positions available in the area of their choice.

Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial to suit the above please? It sounds like you need a UserForm (like a dialog box, but you define your own, using VBA). I think you'll find a tutorial on creating UserForms and putting the information from a form into your document on the word.mvps.org website. this may not cover the point about inserting appropriate paragraphs. The most efficient way to do this would be to insert AutoText entries, that you've stored in the template for this type of document. For more help on this project, I suggest one of the word.vba newsgroups (for macro/developer questions).
