Hi all ye WORD gods,

I posted this in two places on purpose because I really
don't know which is more appropriate, Please forgive me.

They are....
microsoft.public.word.drawing.graphics and
microsoft.public.word.vba.general

I am using the Office 2000 package and I am in too deep I
think?

Anyway perhaps someone can help me.

Some background.

I have been asked to take an existing Word doc
template "Credit application" and make it usable for
several different financial institutions" To do this I
need only make add a dropdown to the top of the first page
and then the user selects the institution that he or she
wants to apply to and then bookmarks and a macro that
updates the fields changes the name through out the
document.

No problem so far....Then I thought it would be really
neat if I could make the LOGO's change depending on which
institution the user chose. So this is what I did.

Where I wanted the LOG to appear I put
{AutoText"{dropdown1}_LOGO"}

Then I selected each Logo and pressed "alt F3" and added
them to the AutoText list naming them "Name of bank_LOGO"

So that when the dropdown1 returns the name of the bank
plus the word LOGO it references a LOG that is named the
same and inserts it.

With me so far??

Anyway, the question....

1. I now realize that this will only work on my own PC (I
guess because my AutoText is only on my own normal.dot??)

Is there a way that I can place several LOGOS in my
template and hide them somehow and name them and call for
them with some field code?

End result... I want a user to choose an institution at
the start of the page and have a logo representing that
institution pop up in a specific spot.

I am pretty new to this stuff so please consider that in
your post.

I only made it as far as I did with all of your help so
thanks for that.

Kelly

Kelly,

If your document is a DOT file you can place the AutoText entries in that
template. When you add an AutoText entry to a template it will default to
normal.dot in the dialog. Change it to your template instead.

If it's a doc file it can still be done but I don't think that's not your
case.

Regards,
Lars-Eric

Thanks, So how do I do that? How do I change it to the
template I created rather then my normal.dot?

Don't use Alt+F3 to create the AutoText entry. Go to Insert | AutoText |
AutoText and change the "Look in" from "All active templates" to your
template. Once you've done this, you can use Alt+F3, and it will default to
saving in your template. To be able to see/use all AT entries, you have to
change the "Look in" back to "All active templates."
