Is it possible in word to add script!!!!!!!!!! I have not done this in word!!!!!!!!!! In word what is the syntax of a conditional if statement conditional on two variables. ie: if state = "fl' and contract = 'equity" > You will have to give more information than that to receive any useful > assistance. > > >I need to produce a dynamic document using word and conditional statements > >or > > scripting. Any assistance is greatly appreciative. 1. Yes. Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor. 2. Almost. if state = "fl" and contract = "equity" THEN -- Enjoy, Tony > Is it possible in word to add script!!!!!!!!!! I have not done this in > word!!!!!!!!!!

I have not done script thou. I just need to know if I pass two variables from another application to a script word document will this work. Or, do I need some kind of event to run. Based on this info I need to write a case statement or if then else statement. I need to know how I could run the script from word. I just need info on how to get started. > You will have to give more information than that to receive any useful > assistance. > > >I need to produce a dynamic document using word and conditional statements > >or > > scripting. Any assistance is greatly appreciative. Word uses Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) - effectively a variant of VB designed to run inside a parent application. From VBA you have access to the Word object model and that allows the code to interact with documents (and users and the environment). You can code VBA in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) accessible via Alt+F11 from Word. Are you invoking Word from 'another application' (in which case, OK) or are you wanting to communicate with an existing running instance of Word (not so easy)? -- Enjoy, Tony > Doug I need a general idea of how word and script work.

I am invoking word from another application. Could you help in getting me started. Purpose is to print dynamic titles for this document. For ex: I will be given one variables 1) Contract Type Based on the contract type print the required titles Example of Contract Type: Equity, Straight Conversion, Upgrade Conversion. ------------------------------------------------------------ Titles: Contract Type: Equity Company Join Us Equity ------------------------------------------------- Titles: Contract Type: Upgrade Conversion Company Join Us Upgrade Conversion ------------------------------------------------------ Titles: Contract Type: Straight Conversion Company Join Us Straight Conversion ----------------------------------------------------------------- And also how do I launch the word document????? > Word uses Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) - effectively a variant of VB > designed to run inside a parent application.

You don't say what application or language you are using so it's difficult for me to say how you should do it or whether you should do it in Word (fired from your app) or direct from your app. The basic idea is Set WordAppPointer = CreateObject("Word.Application") WordAppPointer.Documents.Open("name of document") WordAppPointer.Run "NameOfMacroInWord", "ParameterToMacro" Then in the Word Macro build up the document as you wish. -- Enjoy, Tony > I am invoking word from another application. > [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] > > > > >or > > > > > scripting. Any assistance is greatly appreciative. What is the difference with what you wrote Set WordAppPointer = CreateObject("Word.Application") > WordAppPointer.Documents.Open("name of document") > WordAppPointer.Run "NameOfMacroInWord", "ParameterToMacro and with what I found on google Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open("U:\My Documents\CCSI\Contract Document\Contract Template.doc") > You don't say what application or language you are using so it's difficult > for me to say how you should do it or whether you should do it in Word [quoted text clipped - 100 lines] > > > > > >or > > > > > > scripting. Any assistance is greatly appreciative. his code opens a document and then runs a macro that is in the document. what you found only opens a document. both are viable options to what you are attempting to do (open a document and change it). you can also use "WordAppPointer.Documents.add" to create a new document instead of opening an existing one. If you have office 2003 or above, I guess what you should consider is creating an XML schema for your document, create a template based on that schema, and using the code, creating a new document based on that template, and populating the xml nodes with the information from your application.

Sounds like a little bit of knowledge might be dangerous<g> See the article "Getting To Grips With VBA Basics In 15 Minutes" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm SignatureHope this helps.
