MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2006Form Field Entry & Exit Macro drop-down list
Does anyone know where the list of macros is taken from for the entry and exit macro for form fields? I am building a form and have added a textbox. I want to execute a macro on exit. When I click on the drop-down list associated with the exit macro on the Text Form Field Options dialog box, the only macros I see are ones in my Normal.dot file. I want to select a macro I have written in the form which has been saved as a .dot file. Thanks!

You can only refer to macro that are in currently active project (Loaded template, or Normal.dot, the currently attached template and any template that are loaded as global as listed under "Tools > Templates and Add-ins...") Also, make sure that the macro you want to use is not Private or requires arguments or it will not be listed.

They are defined as Public and have no arguments and yet they are not listed. The form is a document template (.dot file) and is listed as a Global template in Tools/Template and Addins. Do you have any other ideas? > Peter was telling us: > Peter nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Also, make sure that the macro you want to use is not Private or requires > arguments or it will not be listed.

Do you have any other ideas? Could there be conflicting names? If two macros with the same name in different modules are present, I believe neither will show up the list.

For some unexplained reason, they are now showing up. Word can be so buggy! It truly does not miss an opportunity to frustrate! Thanks again! > Peter was telling us: > Peter nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > If two macros with the same name in different modules are present, I believe > neither will show up the list. |
