Hiding/showing a table with VBA

[AmandaH]

Hello all,

I am trying to find out for I can trun a table on or off depending on a
yes/no answer from a form field. I am using Word 2003 and the VBA that
comes with it. Any ideas/links would be of great help.

Hi Amanda,

You don't need vba for this.

The solution is to:
.. select the table
.. press Ctrl-F9 to enclose it in a field
.. just before the table, press Ctrl-F9 again, to insert another field
.. fill in the field so that they look like type {IF{BkMrk \* Caps}= "Y*"
Table}
where 'BkMrk' is the bookmark name assigned to your formfield and 'Table'
is your table
.. use 'N' instead of 'Y' above if the table is meant to appear in response
to a 'no' answer
.. set the formfield's properties to 'calculate on exit'

Cheers

You can format the table with a specific style. The code for the On Exit
property of the checkbox change the styles' FONT.Hidden property to true
(or false). this works without turning off document protection.
