Option Box commands in word

Noah114 · Oct 28, 2005

This is just a general question, but I am trying to create a form in word to be utilized by the company, a sort of request form.

Can I create an option box, that when clicked will for example highlight or unhighlight a section with a macro. I placed the option box in the word document, but what do I do from there and can it be done? Shoudl I use control boxes or forms? Any websites that are useful, I am new to this

Thanks

You have to be explicit in your requests.

You state:

I placed the option box in the word document, but what do I do from there and can it be done?

Uh, you placed an option box? That sounds like you actually DID something. But I am not clear on exactly what you did.

From the sort of fuzzy request, asking if "it" can be done...the answer is most likely, yes it can.

Can you have a macro highlight/unhighlight a section? Absolutely. This is actually very easy to do, but you will have to clarify exactly how you want this to happen. I am not sure what you mean by "option box", or "option box commands". A checkbox? A macrobutton? An ActiveX commandbutton? A dropdown? What?????

It also may be better to post in the VBA forum, as - at least I think so - you are asking about something that will use code. I can help you there.
