Macro Recording Problem
Using Word 2002, we have a user who is attempting to create a macro that
amoung other things, inserts a text box into the document. How do we do this, when the use of the mouse is disabled (during the recording process)? Thanks Paul |

How do we do this, when the use of the mouse is disabled (during the recording process)? Thanks Paul It's impossible to record this or any other action that depends exclusively on the mouse. You need to learn a bit of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) -- or get someone who knows it -- to edit the macro. There are commands that can insert, size, position, and fill the text box. However, you need to know in advance what you want to do instead of just clicking and dragging until it looks right. This topic really belongs in the newsgroup microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners ("Programming" in the list of groups on the web page). -- 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. |
