Opening Properties Summary First

[Dean Jones]

Hi,

Thanks to the answer to my first post but I am struggling to get a grip on
macros and word programming.

I have a template for staff to use. When they create a new document based on
the template the first thing that I need them to do is complete all of the
fields for the summary on the documents property dialog windows, as the
fields are used within the document text.

Also, I need to ensure that all the fields are completed before they can
close the window. Finally, when they do exit the window I need the document
to be updated with the entries.


Thanks in advance


Dean

The best way to approach this is with a UserForm that collects the
information and writes it to the document properties. For help with the
UserForm, you may want to post in microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms. See
also http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm for some
general info about UserForms if you're not familiar with them.
