Is there any way to format the text being entered into an inputbox in Word? I'm using an inputbox to get a password for a simple operation and would like to place **** instead of aaaa to add a little more security. I'd be happy to simply change the font to wingdings or something.

Help Formatting Text in InputBox

ACH381,
I am a VB programmer so this may need to be adjusted a little to work within Word VBA but,
The easiest way that I know of is to use a textbox rather than an Inputbox. Place it on a seperate form with only the textbox and a label, set it as the Startup object. The textbox has a PasswordChar property that yopu can set to *. The characters the User typed is still capable of being passed to your User validation routine without any extra coding.
