Macro Text on Command Button gone in email
I have put a command button on a template and have hidden in a text box, as
per http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...rintButton.htm. I replaced the macro text from the above link with the text from a specific macro I created (prints 3 copies of the document, with different footnote titles.) It works great and I have created this button specifically for a self-proclaimed computer illerate in an office hundreds of miles away. The problem: when I email the document, the macro text for the command button is gone! Even when I email it to myself, it's gone. What do I need to do to link that text to the button/document? Thanks for any help. |

Macro Text on Command Button gone in email
I'm lost. How would I do a macrobutton field?

Macro Text on Command Button gone in email
Thank you SO MUCH for all your help and the great websites. I didn't even
know about macrobutton fields until you told me and gave me the great links. I'm deciding to bite the bullet and create the form in Excel. My form in Word had an embedded Excel spreadsheet, as I needed the formulas. I created in Word as I was trying to recreate a preprinted form and it was easier to measure in inches in Word. When will Microsoft allow measurements in inches, not just points & pixels? What a pain. Thank you again. You saved my sanity when I was trying to do something I thought was simple (it is in Excel, but does not have same ease in Word.)
