MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / March 2005Embedded Button in Word Document
Good afternoon! As the sun sinks slowly into the west, one last question before the weekend. Is it possible to create a button which is embedded directly into a document, which can be attached to VBA code. I know you can do this in Excel, I just can't find the command button tool anywhere in Word. Thanks in advance & have a good weekend!

Yes, but depending on what you want to do, this may not be the best option as the button properties are different in Word. View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox.

The MacroButton field is much simpler and has fewer drawbacks. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm for a discussion.
