macrobutton nomacro 'cannot span more than one line!'

[NZCarol]

Hi,
Just came across the Word field MACROBUTTON NOMACRO [Click
here and type in .......] But I get error: DisplayText
cannot span more than one line!
because I would like to include more that one one of
display text.

Is there a work around?

Thanks
Carol

Not really... Unless you'd put the text into a graphic and
use that as the display, instead of text.

I can't imagine why you would want so much text for a place marker, but if
you need more explanation, you could use the macrobutton field to actually
run a macro. The following uses the help assistant to pop up a message and
requires an OK click whereon the focus returns to the field.

Sub PopUpAdvice()
Set Balloon = Assistant.NewBalloon
With Balloon
.Text = "Put your text here"
.Button = msoButtonSetOK
.Animation = msoAnimationBeginSpeaking
.Show
End With
End Sub
