How do I create template fields?
I am trying to create a template to enter business card requests. I am trying
to replicate the fields that are similar to "[Click here and type name]" fields in the general templates, that came with Microsoft Word. I would like to have a template where the user could click on an area and begin typing their name, another area to type their title, etc ... I'm completely stuck on this and got no response from my company's IT department. Please help .... |

PurchasingBuyer was telling us:
PurchasingBuyer nous racontait que : I am trying to create a template to enter business card requests.

I'm completely stuck on this and got no response from my company's IT department. I bet those IT people are too ashamed (or too proud?) to tell you they do not know how... Which is OK, really, because they are not Word specialist after all. An easy way to do that is as follows: Do CTRL-F9, A pair of {} will appear, Between the {} (Which must be inserted via CTRL-F9. and not pasted in from here), type the following MACROBUTTON nomacro Click here and type name Repeat everywhere you want those fields, When you are done, do ALT-F9 to toggle the field code display back to normal text, Select the first one, Type the text, Do F11 and the cursor will jump to the next field. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
