Forms

[caring4211]

I am having one problem in the Form Field Options Box. I have check
boxes which I've renamed. I went in and created a Macro and made sure my
document was showing in the Macro in box. However when I go to the Form
Field Options Box and want to list the Macro in the exit box the name of my
macro isn't there. I've tried a new document and it's doing the same thing.
Suggestions?

I am having one problem in the Form Field Options Box. I have check
boxes which I've renamed. I went in and created a Macro and made
sure my document was showing in the Macro in box. However when I go
to the Form Field Options Box and want to list the Macro in the exit
box the name of my macro isn't there. I've tried a new document and
it's doing the same thing. Suggestions?

If the macro really is in the same document with the check box, it should
show up in the list. Here's how to check:

Open the VBA editor (Alt+F11). If you don't see the Project Explorer pane on
the left, press Ctrl+R or select it from the View menu.

There will be an icon labeled "Project (MyDocument)" or whatever the
document's actual name is. If that's collapsed, click the little plus sign
to expand it. Under that you'll see a folder icon labeled "Modules"; expand
that.

Now you should see at least one module icon, labeled "NewMacros" or
"Module1" or something like that. Double-click it. You should see your
macro's code in the big window to the right.

If any of the things I've described aren't there, then your macro isn't in
the document. It might be in a module under the Normal project -- but then
it still should be listed in the Exit Macro dropdown. You might find it in
some other template or document, although that's unlikely -- or it simply
might not have been saved at all.

I opened up my document which is called New Director. I then opened VBA
editor. I found "Project (New Director)" and opened it. It had three
additional plus signes under it. One is called Microsoft Word Objects, one
is Modules and one is References. Under Microsoft Word Objects it has the
word icon with "ThisDocument" Under Modules it has New Macros. When I
double click on it, it comes up with the name of the macro that I created for
this document. This is the only macro that I created for this document.
However when I then go to the space where the macro is to run on my document
and click the FormField Option box, it shows three macros available but none
of them are named the name I gave my macro.
