Document Properties GUI

Author	Message
Nate #1 / 3	Document Properties GUI Hello- I have an Access DB that creates form letters in Word using the document properties. Is there a way for my user to be able to customize the Word docs by inserting new doc props without going through the usual bazillion steps. I guess what I need is a kind of friendly UI listing the available properties for my user to choose from, then letting them click an Insert button to add it to their letter. Is this possible? If anyone could just get me started it'd be greatly appreciated. I don't really know where to begin. Thanks! -Nate

Jay Freedma #2 / 3	Document Properties GUI Hi, Nate, You want a UserForm (custom dialog box). For a short tutorial, see http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm. For your purposes, instead of pasting the contents of textboxes from the userform into bookmarks in the document, you need to assign the values to items that you add to the ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties. Look up that term in the VBA help. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.mvps.org/word Quote: > Hello- > I have an Access DB that creates form letters in Word > using the document properties.
