is it possible to make textboxes

No VBA expreience, just trying to research. I have an idea for an app I'd
like to build inWord, and part of the way it would work is to build one or
many text boxes. Don't know if that's terminology, but I am talking about
the white thing at the bottom of Word (when you have selected Drawing
tools), and this white thing has the letter A in it. Word refers to it as a
Text Box, anyway.

So is there a way to do this where it will build a number of text boxes,
allow me to specify a border, and then populate the text boxes with content
based on the choices the user makes in a form?

Hi middletree,

Use the AddTextbox method of the Shapes collection. You will find code
samples in the VBA Help file.
