Good day,
I am trying to find a way to have the "Manager" field to be filled out by default just like the "Author" field is filled out by default. Is there someplace that I can set a default Manager? Thanks for your support. Bill Wilson |

I don't think there is any built-in method to automatically insert a value in
the Manager field. However, you can use a macro named AutoNew to accomplish this. The following macro will insert "My Title" as the value in the Manager field: Sub AutoNew() ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yManager).Value = "My Title" End Sub If you store the macro in your Normal.dot, it will run whenever you create a new document. If you store it in another template, it will run whenever you create a new document based on that template. For information about how to install a macro, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm For information about running a macro automatically when a document is created, opened or closed, see: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DocumentEvents.htm -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Bill Wilson" wrote: Good day, I am trying to find a way to have the "Manager" field to be filled out by default just like the "Author" field is filled out by default.

That didn't work, I did have to utilize the macro, and then all was well.

You're right: it doesn't work. I wonder why. You'd think anything you put in
Normal.dot would be propagated to documents based on it. -- Suzanne S.
