OK, I stand corrected. For some reason, my intellisense is on the fritz.
It was that way in my .NET envronment too.
Definitely a useful tool when it comes to coding.
doh! and thanks again.

RANGE.FONT.ANIMATION Too?
Doh!
Is there a listing for all these groovy properties,
other than the object browser which makes you search the entire library to find what you need?

YES! Now we’re cooking.
So, the old range.font.bold property.
I guess Word doesn’t have intellisense.
Wouldn’t that be a nice addition to the next Office suite?
Excellent work folks!

Preferably, I’d just like to format the text of the name.
In .NET it’s so simple to do this stuff by accessing it’s properties through an object browser.
Aaaargh I don’t see such a property in Word…Isn’t this Word 2002?

Actually, I was just wanting to format the text, like bold it for example.
This would be easy if Word had intellisense.

Oh, Tools/Options only shows the left angle bracket in place of the bookmark.
We need to see the actual name of each bookmark.
Is there another property or setting I missed?
Thanks for the quick reply.

This is just what I need.
Anyone know how to format this script so the bookmarks are more obvious?
Also pointing it to a UNC subdirectory would be helpful as opposed to just ActiveDocument.bookmarks
I’d like to do this to an entire library of Docs…copies of course

Hans,
I have followed your instructions but I keep getting an invalid bookmark type error message.
First I hilighted an area with a date and created a bookmark (MyDAte)
Then I insert a field and use the formula bar to enter MyDate @ “d” Ordinal day of My Date @ “MMMM,yyyy”
After I return to the doc the field either says “invalid end of field “ or “Syntax Error,”
When I attempt to edit the formula, it crashes the app.

1-If I strip out the {} field brackets, how can it distiguish the variables from the strings?
2-I followed the field directions and it wants me to use “[” field brackets
2- Do I leave the “=” sign in the formula or is this where the SET command went?

Im sure it’s something simple but it keeps evading me
thanks for your help

Thanks guys, this is all really great stuff.
Is there any way I can build this outside of a merge function?
I’d like to create a bookmark with it.
My ultimate goal would be to get it into the insert DATE/TIME library, if possible.

I’d trying to avoid returning this as a string from a user defined function in a stored procedure.

Yep I just started that exact code. I think I wanted to stick to the original form so bad for fear of angering the boss. Sometimes you just have to go with your instincts and just tell them what is and is not possible. Thanks for all your help Hans!

Ah, interesting observation. This is actually just the same violation but with a warning flag set to true.
There will never be warnings and violations. It’s all of one group only-no mixed bags.
I set it up this way because thats what the user wanted and basically had made.
I guess I could redesign the form and load either a warning or violation form based on a user choice.
How would I best start that string?
Thanks for you help.

Each button has a value like 1=”BG” 2 =”RW” et al.
Then I need to create the string into a simple comma delimited string.
like str= “BG,RW” etc

I originally intended to use a separate table but the data has to be saved to a comma delimited string in the main table for export.
Technically, I could still use the separate table for the form and place an “update”button which saves the value to a string,
but I really need the validation option to stop a user from entering values in both sets of options.
Without that control array, I dont see that as possible.
