Help - creating forms and formulas in Word
Hi Luke
This could probably be done with Word, but not easily. Certainly there are no "simple instructions" for how to achieve it :-) It would require some VBA programming... If I were you, I'd take a look at the Microsoft product InfoPath. From the sound of it, this may be exactly what you're looking for, or very, very close :-) -- Cindy "Luke Richardson" wrote: I hope I have come to the right places! I would be grateful for guidance and instruction with the following tasks. I need to be able to create Excel-style tables that apply formulas and logic to figures entered by the users of the document I'm creating. For example, they would enter a number for the duplicate records in a database and Word would multiply this by a figure I have already entered for the cost of each mailing. So, in one sense the form needs to be locked but in another, the user needs to be free to enter some data. I need to apply these same principles in different contexts throughout this document. I also need to be able to automatically generate a chart of whichever type is appropriate from my table. At the same time, I also want to use simple mail merge functions. I would like my document users to be able to easily import their company logo, the name of the person they're sending the document to and their own details. My objective is to create a highly and quickly useable document into which my business partners can very quickly add very specific information and generate ROI figures. All using Word. Can this be done? I would be very grateful for advice on where to look for hints and tips, some simple instructions on how to perform these tasks (I have found the MVP site a little daunting) and any other advice on what would constitute a better, easily available CTP tool for this sort of dicument. Please contact me directly on my email address (above) if appropriate. Sincerest thanks in advance, Luke Richardson |
