I'm trying to create a macro toolbar button in Microsoft Word (XP) that will
insert the initials or name or the person pushing the button at the cursor
location. What is the code for this?

Thanks,

End Sub

... or insert a {USERINITIALS} field or {DOCPROPERTY Author} field: No
typing necessary?
Though the field(s) would have to be unlinked or locked if the text is to be
preserved.
