I was hoping someone could help me with this issue.
I wish to create a userform which reads a "sourcedoc" which has a single
column table in it. The table in the source doc will have multiple rows in
it with single line descriptions. I would like the userform to detect the
number of rows in the source doc table and create a corresponding number of
checkboxes in the userform. The user can then select the appropriate check
boxes and those individual lines are inserted into book marks in the
document.
Unfortunately, my VB skills are not up to the task. Any help would be very
much appreciated.

I would suggest that instead of checkboxes, you have the single line
descriptions added to a multi-select Listbox and then allow the user to
select the items that they wish to use.
Here is some code to get you started:
This routine loads a listbox with client details stored in a table in a
separate
document (which makes it easy to maintain with additions, deletions etc.),
that document being saved as Clients.Doc for the following code.
On the UserForm, have a list box (ListBox1) and a Command Button
(CommandButton1) and use the following code in the UserForm_Initialize() and
the CommandButton1_Click() routines
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim sourcedoc As Document, i As Integer, j As Integer, myitem As Range,
m As Long, n As Long
' Modify the path in the following line so that it matches where you
saved Clients.doc
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' Open the file containing the client details
Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="c:\Company.doc")
' Get the number or clients = number of rows in the table of client
details less one
i = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1
' Get the number of columns in the table of client details
j = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Columns.Count
' Set the number of columns in the Listbox to match
' the number of columns in the table of client details
ListBox1.ColumnCount = j
' Define an array to be loaded with the client data
Dim MyArray() As Variant
'Load client data into MyArray
ReDim MyArray(i, j)
For n = 0 To j - 1
For m = 0 To i - 1
Set myitem = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Cell(m + 2, n + 1).Range
myitem.End = myitem.End - 1
MyArray(m, n) = myitem.Text
Next m
Next n
' Load data into ListBox1
ListBox1.List() = MyArray
' Close the file containing the client details
sourcedoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer, Addressee As String
Addressee = ""
For i = 1 To ListBox1.ColumnCount
ListBox1.BoundColumn = i
Addressee = Addressee & ListBox1.Value & vbCr
Next i
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Addressee").Range.InsertAfter Addressee
UserForm2.Hide
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer, j As Long, k As Long
Dim MyString As String
MyString = ""
j = 0
With ListBox1
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
'..and check whether each is selected
If ListBox1.selected(i) Then
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
If j > 1 Then
k = 0
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .selected(i) Then
k = k + 1
If k = 1 Then
MyString = MyString & .list(i, 1)
ElseIf k < j Then
MyString = MyString & "; " & .list(i, 1)
Else
MyString = MyString & " and " & .list(i, 1)
End If
End If
Next i
Else
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .selected(i) Then
MyString = .list(i, 1)
End If
Next i
End If
End With
MsgBox MyString
End Sub
The Initialize statement will populate the listbox with the data from the
table and then when a client is selected in from the list and the command
button is clicked, the information for that client will be inserted into a
bookmark in the document. You may want to vary the manner in which it is
inserted to suit our exact requirements, but hopefully this will get you
started.
To make it easy for you, the code has been written so that it will deal with
any number of clients and any number of details about each client. It
assumes that the first row of the table containing the client details is a
header row.
The method for determining which items are selected in the list box is give
in
the article "How to find out which Items are selected in a Multi-Select
ListBox" at:
