I'm using Word 2000. I would like to do in Word what I can so easily do in
Excel. In Excel on the Forms toolbar I click on "Button" and a button
appears on the spreadsheet and up pops the "Assign Macro" box. I assign it a
macro that I've already created. Why isn't it that simple in Word? Or am I
missing something? Can someone tell me how to insert a button in a Word file
and assign it a macro that I've created, that when you click the button the
macro will run, and that will be able to whoever I e-mail the document to?
Thank you. Connie

You should be aware that if you store a macro in a document and mail it to

Thank you, Jay. That was simple enough. Not as nice as Excel works but
okay. I was not able to customize the borders because as soon as I choose a
light line for the top border it puts a light line on all four sides.
Three-dimentional will not work either. Don't know why, but I guess I'll
have to take it the way it is. It doesn't look like a button, but the words
are there to double-click. It's a mystery to me why it couldn't be done as
simple and nice as Excel does it. It's simple to create and it automatically
looks like a button. Connie
