Default Hide a row in a table based upon a previous selection

I have a Word 2003 form. There are multiple tables on the form. What
I want to do is to hide a selection of text in table #3, Row 27 if a
selection in Table 1, row 1, field10 is greater than 5 characters and
show another row of text.

I've looked through the postings and have not found anything quite like
this.

Can anyone help me out with some code?

Thanks so much!

You could run a macro on exit from Field 10 and gets the .Result of that
formfield and depending upon it's length, set the font in Row 27 of table 3
as hidden. I am not sure where the other row of text enters into this.

You will have to include

ActiveDocument.Unprotect

and then later

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Oh and by the way, the form is protected. As I'm working through
trying to create this code it keeps giving me an error saying that the
section I have in the code is protected.

I really need some help on this.....anybody have any suggestions

Doug:

Ok here is my code so far. What I'm trying to do is: if the zip code
form field is more than 5 digits (which is so for Canada) then hide
rows 22, 23 and 29 but if it is a USA zip code 5 digits, then show rows
22,23 and 29 and hide row 21.

Can you help me out as my code isn't working. Thanks a bunch!

Public Sub CanadaZipCode()

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("zipcode").Result = 5 Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(21).Range.Font.Hidde n = True
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(22).Range.Font.Hidde n = False
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(23).Range.Font.Hidde n = False
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(29).Range.Font.Hidde n = False
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset
Else
If ActiveDocument.FormFields("zipcode").Result 5 Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(21).Range.Font.Hidde n = False
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(22).Range.Font.Hidde n = True
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(23).Range.Font.Hidde n = True
ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Rows(29).Range.Font.Hidde n = True
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset



End If
End If

End Sub

ActiveDocument.FormFields("zipcode").Result = 5 is not going to work.

Len(ActiveDocument.FormFields("zipcode").Result ) = 5

will probably work as it will give you the length of the result.

It may however be better to use the IsNumeric() function as US Zip Codes are
numeric whereas Canadian ones are alpha-numeric.

Even in that case however, probably better to use

IsNumeric(Left(ActiveDocument.FormFields("zipcode" ).Result, 5)

as that will pickup 9 digit US Zip Codes (#####-####) which IsNumeric() by
itself may miss.
