Logo's and Field Codes??

[Kelly]

Hi all ye WORD gods,

I posted this in two places on purpose because I really
don't know which is more appropriate, Please forgive me.

They are....
microsoft.public.word.drawing.graphics and
microsoft.public.word.vba.general

I am using the Office 2000 package and I am in too deep I
think?

Anyway perhaps someone can help me.

Some background.

I have been asked to take an existing Word doc
template "Credit application" and make it usable for
several different financial institutions" To do this I
need only make add a dropdown to the top of the first page
and then the user selects the institution that he or she
wants to apply to and then bookmarks and a macro that
updates the fields changes the name through out the
document.

No problem so far....Then I thought it would be really
neat if I could make the LOGO's change depending on which
institution the user chose. So this is what I did.

Where I wanted the LOG to appear I put
{AutoText"{dropdown1}_LOGO"}

Then I selected each Logo and pressed "alt F3" and added
them to the AutoText list naming them "Name of bank_LOGO"

So that when the dropdown1 returns the name of the bank
plus the word LOGO it references a LOG that is named the
same and inserts it.

With me so far??

Anyway, the question....

1. I now realize that this will only work on my own PC (I
guess because my AutoText is only on my own normal.dot??)

Is there a way that I can place several LOGOS in my
template and hide them somehow and name them and call for
them with some field code?

End result... I want a user to choose an institution at
the start of the page and have a logo representing that
institution pop up in a specific spot.

I am pretty new to this stuff so please consider that in
your post.

I only made it as far as I did with all of your help so
thanks for that.

Kelly,

If your document is a DOT file you can place the AutoText entries in that
template. When you add an AutoText entry to a template it will default to
normal.dot in the dialog. Change it to your template instead.

If it's a doc file it can still be done but I don't think that's not your
case.

Regards,

Kelly,

Call a macro when you leave the form field and insert the autotext entry
from the macro. If you double click on the dropdown formfield (when the
document is unprotected) you set the macro in the 'On exit' dropdown list.
