How do I reset form fields in MSWord without closing the form?

[Carina1628]

I have a form that will be used several times a day. We don't need the data saved, we just print it out. How can I get the form fields to reset to blanks without closing and re-opening the form?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you familiar with VBA?

This can easily be done with VBA in the following manner:

[tt]
FormName.TextBox1.Value = ""
FormName.OptionButton1.Value = False
FormName.CheckBox1.Value = False
[/tt]

cLFaVA appears to be making reference to userforms. Your questions may be about formfields.

Your post is unclear and can certainly be taken as if you are indeed talking about userforms. If you are, then cLFaVa gave the correct response.

However, if you are actually talking about formfields, then:

Textbox formfields
ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname").Result = ""

CheckBox formfields
ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname").Result = False

DropDown formfields
ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname").DropDown.ListEntries(1).Name
