MacroButton
I've been reading articles on creating a MascroButton field in which
requested information can be typed. My attempts, however, have failed to yield the simple "[Type company name here]" MacroButton I need. When I click inside and start to type it disappears. Could one of you experts tell me how it's done? I always seem to accomplish more with your help than by articles I read on a subject. Thanks for this and your years of replies to my questions. |

Type company name here should disappear: why would you want that to stay on
the form? Unfilled in, what you should see is something like... Company Name: [type company name here...] After filling it in you should have something like... Company Name: Pepsi Cola plc If it didn't work that way, you would have... Company Name: type company name here...Pepsi Cola plc -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Island Girl" wrote in message ...

Hi, Terry:
As I just wrote to Suzanne, in this case it's okay to point and laugh! I don't know what in the world I was thinking! Thanks for the reply, Terry.

MacroButton
We all have those moments. g And the question is not trivial because,
unlike a form that uses form fields, a form set up using MacroButton fields is not reusable because the MacroButton fields are replaced with plain text. Which is why such forms are better set up as templates rather than as documents. -- Suzanne S.

Nothing to worry about; my mind frequently goes around in circles making the
most idiotic conclusions at times. Terry "Island Girl" wrote in message ... Hi, Terry: As I just wrote to Suzanne, in this case it's okay to point and laugh!
