InputBox in WORD?

[Loree]

Trying to use InputBox within macro in WORD using string provided in Help. I keep getting a Compile error - Expected: list seperator or )

Using simple macros for fax covers and form letters to enter date, company, systems installed, etc.

Hi Loree,

Please use ENTERS in you're text.

In a Module in the VBE:

Sub SimpleInput()
Dim strTxt As String

strTxt = InputBox("Tel me you're name?", "Hi Loree")
MsgBox "You're name is " & strTxt

'Enjoy
End Sub

Groetjes,
Joost Verdaasdonk

Can you show us the line of code that throws the error?

Hi Loree,
check the possibly localized listseperator, like this:
MsgBox Application.International(wdListSeparator)
Is it what you are using in the inputbox?

How to I get the user input to show up as text in the actual document versus a message box

||| strTxt = InputBox("Tell me your name?", "Hi Loree")
||| MsgBox "You're name is " & strTxt

Provided that the cursor is at the right location in the document,
replace

MsgBox "You're name is " & strTxt

by

Selection.TypeText strTxt

Salut!
