macrobutton

[Laurie]

I have a template with a macrobutton. If I use my
mouse 'double-click' button the macro is called as
expected. If I try to double click the left mouse button
the focus moves on before a second click can be made
(however fast I try!!).
What's going on? How do I make it work??

Thanks, Laurie

ps Thanks for previous help, Jonathan...

Hi, Laurie,

Is the macrobutton in a protected area of a document that's "protected for
forms"? If so, the protection won't let you click anywhere that isn't a form
field.

You could insert a section break between the macrobutton and the rest of the
document, and then use the Sections button in the Tools > Protect Document
dialog to unprotect the section that contains the macrobutton. A better
idea, though, might be to replace the macrobutton with a regular toolbar
button that calls the macro. This can be on one of the built-in toolbars or
on a custom toolbar -- just be sure to choose your template instead of
Normal.dot in the Customize dialog.
