Macros?

[Krash878]

Hello,
I have a form that my company uses to log outgoing faxes, almost like a fax cover sheet, that go to our members. I have been given the task of making it faster and automated.

I have a doc that is from before I got here that starts a series of pop-ups that ask questions. When you input the answers and complete the series of questions the areas on the Doc are filled in.

I would like to do something like that but I am not sure what it is even called to go through the Word help. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Kenny

If you're a first-time macro fiddler then you should do a little research online before you get your hands dirty. Search for "Word Macros" or something and see what you come up with. After a little exposure you'll find that macros aren't all that harsh on the programmer. MS Office has a lot of built in functions that you can utilize, but you have to find them first! For a little exposure, you can go to Tools>Macros>Record New Macro... select to store it in the current document and then perform some actions (enter text, create a new paragraph, change the font, etc) then hit the little stop button that popped up. Hit F11 and expand the Modules folder that you see for your document and double click on the items to look at the code. See if you can follow it. Whatever you don't understand you can just click the mouse on it and hit F1 to bring up the documentation. ----------------------------------------
If you are reading this, then you have read too far...

I am not sure it is a macro I am looking for. In the existing doc once all the info is placed I can not locate any macros or code (at least that I can see). I could send you a copy if you like so you see what I am talking about.

When you use a template that generates a new document the new document (your fax cover) have no neccecary macro's in it. They will work only in the template.
If you wich to look for it send your document to j.i.kauling@hetnet.nl and I will answer asap %-(
