what is the code to STOP and jump to "insert text" throughout a fi
I have a text file but need to insert different names, etc. throughout the
file. Is there a code to do this so that I can jump from place to place AND STOP in order to INSERT INFORMATION. I have Office Home and Student 2007. Thank you. |

Then click in the body of the text -- the dialog will stay on screen -- and insert whatever you need. Click the Find Next button in the dialog to jump to the next location. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

That assumes that there is something logical to jump to. You can jump to
most items in Word such as footnotes, sections, headings, edits, page numbers, bookmarks, etc, etc. But if there is nothing logical about where the names need to be inserted, then it becomes tricky. So more information is needed before we can give a definitive answer. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

I would guess that you are a migrant from WordPerfect. There is nothing in
Word exactly equivalent to WP's stop codes, but there are several similar features that you can use depending on your needs: 1. Form fields. These include text box fields, check box fields, and dropdown fields. Once you have inserted them where you want text entered and protect the document for forms, you can Tab from one to the next. For more on this, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. 2. MacroButton NoMacro fields. These are fields that can display a prompt such as "Type first name here." You click on them and type; the field disappears and is replaced by the typed text. You can use F11 to advance from one field to the next. For more on these, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm 3. UserForms: These are like Word's "wizards." They provide data entry forms when a new document is created. The user fills in the required fields and clicks a button to dismiss the form, and the entered data is automatically inserted in the required locations in the document. For more on this, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm and/or http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and...a_UserForm.htm -- Suzanne S.
