Word2003 Automation PA 10/14/2008 12:48:01 PM I am trying to figure out if I can automate the process of linking form letters with its corresponding type of header (Rexal Corp or International Compilink Inc). I would like to beable to click a button, or execute a keyboard shortcut and have the Header filled in appropriately. Thank you, Paul

Re: Word2003 Automation "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 10/14/2008 1:23:44 PM The simplest method is to create templates with the Headers already completed. The user then opens a new document from the appropriate template to create the letter. Another option is to create templates with the Headers for the various options you need. In the Letter Template, have a series of macros in a drop down list or on separate tool buttons that copies the letter, opens a new blank from the selected template and pastes in the letter text. Alternatively, you can store a set of headers as AutoText/Building Blocks. Then in the Word document, have a set of macros that enters the select Headers in as appropriate. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "PA" <PA[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7E3690F6-C58C-4F1B-8161-177FEEBBB92B[ at ]microsoft.com...
