Revision documentation
I would like to add some programming to our existing document template that
allows for a summary of changes/revisions. What I would like it to do, when we make a change in a document, is to generate a dialog box that asks for the Reason for Change (they would click a button to bring up the box), and then enable us to compile a list of those responses and include them in the document. Can Word 2003/2007 do this? |

Can Word 2003/2007 do this? with some programming, sure. You'd first have to specify what exactly a "change" is. A rather simplistic approach would be to define that each time the document is saved, a change has occurred. That way, "all" you need is to trap the "Save" command, run your macro code intead which brings up the dialog and afterwards saves. You'll get more help in one of the .vba groups where the programming specialists lurk. The following article deals with some aspects of your problem: Intercepting events like Save and Print (by Dave Rado, Anna-Karin Bohman and Jonathan West) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...tSavePrint.htm HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
