Delete autotext

[Daniel]

I managed to make a simple macro that places an autotext on every page on my
doc, the proceeds to print the doc.

I would like to know how I can then delete the autotext from all the page
once printed.

The "NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries(strAnswer).Delete" command remove the
entry so that the AutoText no longer exist. What I want is simply to delete
them from the pages of the doc while keeping the AutoText define so that it
can be reused as required?

Thanks for the help,

Daniel

When you insert AutoText, you end up with ....
text. - or graphics, or fields, or whatever is in your AutoText entry.

So for later deletion you need to find what you inserted. You could perhaps
do this with bookmarks, but ...
if you want something on every page, why not put it in the header or footer?

Use Edit>Replace and enter the autotext string in the Find what box and have
nothing in the Replace with box.

Hi Daniel,

insertion of an autotext leaves no traces, IMHO.

If you want to be on the safe site,
you might have to create bookmarks for each insertion.

If you want a simple, rather limited
and rather dangerous solution,
clear the undo buffer, insert the autotexts,
print and undo all.
