MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2007Can I do this with VBA in Word?
-Create a set of inputboxes that ask for user input in a step by step fashion, and eventually write everything to a predefined and formatted Word-template file. -get some of the inputboxes to generate a predefined list of inputchoices (in a pull down menu or via autotext) to speed-up the typing. Cheers in advance! > -Create a set of inputboxes that ask for user input in a step by step > fashion, and eventually write everything to a predefined and formatted > Word-template file. Yes. You can use the InputBox function for this > -get some of the inputboxes to generate a predefined list of inputchoices > (in a pull down menu or via autotext) to speed-up the typing. The InputBox can't give you a dropdown list of predefined choices, but a UserForm can - and you can have all your input items as separate fields on the same UserForm. Take a look here for a starting point. How to create a Userform http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm  SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Great, thanks for the faster-than-the-speed-of-light reply! So in short, for my task I should rather use Userforms than write a new macro to generate inputboxes? > > -Create a set of inputboxes that ask for user input in a step by step > > fashion, and eventually write everything to a predefined and formatted [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > How to create a Userform > http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm > Great, > thanks for the faster-than-the-speed-of-light reply! > > So in short, for my task I should rather use Userforms than write a new > macro > to generate inputboxes? Yes. You can have a single UserForm with multiple textboxes and dropdown listboxes. The article I pointed you to will show you much of what you need to do. You will of course need to adapt it to your own purposes. By all means post back here if you get stuck or have further questions SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Thanks alot Jonathan, you're helping me out a great deal and saving me lots of time on project here.
