'FILLIN' fields keep prompting. How to stop this once filled in?
I have the following field in a document template that I am working on, along
with several other 'FILLIN' fields. {FILLIN "Enter the spool connection details ie. Spool 01/02 WN to SW" \o \* MERGEFORMAT } I would like to have the completed document ask the user for the variable 'FILLIN' fields, then not have them keep prompting for the FILLIN whenever using print preview, print, save or open the saved document. Is there a way to fo this, or is there a better field that will ask for data once, then insert the text without re-propmpting? Thanks, Mark |

A little bit different implementation, but you might be happy with
MacroButton NoMacro fields; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm. Since the entered text overwrites the field, it becomes part of the ordinary text of the document; there is no field left. -- Suzanne S.

The NoMacro field is not what I am looking for. What I want to create is the
template to open a new document that prompts the user to enter certain key information that will not change throughout the report. Other sections will then need to be filled in by hand. For instance: 1. The user opens a new document and chooses the template 2. The template creates the base document, then prompts the user to include: a) Location b) Name of vessel c) Client d) Job description e) Task number 3. The user, after completing these variables, then completes the remainder of the report by hand 4. The completed document is formatted in the company standard form, complete with logo etc. Is there a way to do this without the continual prompting for reentry that word gives when previewing, opening or saving? |

What you want, then, is a UserForm; see

How would I now include a combobox for bookmarks that require one of a set
series of inputs to be included in the document? For Instance, can a combo box be included as .Bookmarks("Text3").Range _? And if so, how do I go about it? With ActiveDocument .Bookmarks("Text1").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox1 .Bookmarks("Text2").Range _ .InsertBefore TextBox2 End With "Mark" wrote: Suzanne, that does the trick!
