Text Form Date
In my Word 2007 document, I have a text form with Type equal to 'Date'. Is
there a way I can set the default date to be the current date? (I don't want to set the Type to 'Current date' because then the user can't change it.) Thanks! Mary Fetsch |

Text Form Date
This could be done with an "Entry" macro assigned to the form field in
question. What follows is a simple version of such a macro: Sub TestMacro() If Trim$(ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1") _ ..Result) = "" Then ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1") _ ..Result = Format$(Now(), "MMMM DD, YYYY") End If End Sub It is assumed that the bookmark name specified for the field is "Text1" (which is the default). If you have chosen a different name, you should of course use that one instead. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mary Fetsch" wrote in message news In my Word 2007 document, I have a text form with Type equal to 'Date'.
