Fields

[Guest]

After many years, this is my first experience with fields. I add macro
fields. I added NoMacro. How do you add NoMacro to the options drop down box?

How might I stretch the field so that an address macro would take up the
whole line where it used to simply have a drawn line?

How would I take the formatting of Bold/Italic/maybe other stuff and reuse
it without having to start again each field?

How would I automate the the process of starting again? Are you going to
tell me to save a macro of the event?

You do _not_ add NoMacro to the list, you type it in the field. The list is
a list of actual macros and of Word commands. You could put anything that
isn't in that list in your field to use a MacroButton field as a text
prompt. NoMacro is used as a convention. It takes up the spot in the field
designated for the name of the macro. See

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

In addition to what Charles has said, you could include a row of underlines
or even a drawing line graphic as the Display Text in the MacroButton field.
For an example of a MacroButton with a graphic as the Display Text, see the
Word Help topic "Field codes: MacroButton field."

I will read the documents.
