Hi all,

In Word it is easy to add help text that will appear in the status bar at
the bottom of the word window. I am presently doing this in a form which has
help text at each field. Unfortunatly this text doesnt disappear when a user
uses the scroll bars to move to another location in the document and clicks
in the document using the mouse. Using VBA I have added code to set the
status bar to an empty string on the windowselectionchange event. This works
fine except that the previous text is still there and can be seen by clicking
the left mouse button in the document and holding it.

So my question: is there a way to really clear the status line buffer, I
mean Really, really clear it, not just set it to an empty string?

Thank you.
