Conditional Table Rows

P

Penggu

Hi All,

Is it possible to have rows of a table appear conditionally, for example:

{ IF defined(AUTOTEXT item3)=TRUE
"[ | | ]" "" }

(I mean real tables - the ascii here is just for illustration)

Thanks,
Penggu

Not individual table rows, no. An entire table (which could consist of a
single row), yes.

Is there any way to run a macro in the document? For example, the MACROBUTTON
thing wants you to click on it.

I want to run TableDeleteRow if certain conditions aren't met.

eg { IF "{ AUTOTEXT xyz }"="FALSE" TableDeleteRow "{ AUTOTEXT xyz }"}

?

Thanks

I'm afraid there's no way to trigger a macro through the result of a field code.
The user has to do the triggering. Or, you'd need to link the action to an
event, such as Window_SelectionChange. This won't fire when the field updates,
but it will when the user tabs in a table, uses the up/down arrows keys or
clicks with the mouse. The macro would then have to search for the field, check
the result and perform the necessary action.
