How do I get a button to work in word

[nochoice]

So,

I'm very new to this, and what I have is a WORD document with several check boxes and a button.

How do I get the document 'Compiled' I need the button to work. When I click the button I get the little resizing squares around the button.

How do I activate a WORD button?

OK I figured that out, all I needed to do was right click on the toolbars and select the Control Toolbox toolbar and click on the 'Exit Design Mode' button.

Now how do I get the button to run a Macro I've written?

You need to go back into design mode. When you double click the button, it should bring you right into VBA under a new sub routine called Sub CommandButton1_Click ()

Just write Call MyMacro where MyMacro is the name of the macro you want to run when you hit the button. That should do it.
