macros and parameters

[Laurie]

Hi,
I want to use a macro to respond to any of several
checkboxes and either dim the line containing the calling
checkbox or darken the line - depending on whether the
checkbox is false or true.
How do I 'tell the macro' which checkbox called it? Or
perhaps better, which line on the page the cursor was on
at the time?

Thanks, Laurie

Hi Laurie,

you can 'tell' the line using the following example:

Dim rng As Word.Range
Dim lngLine As Long

With ActiveDocument
rng = .Range(.Bookmarks("\Page").Start, _
.Bookmarks("\Line").End)
lngLine = rng.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticLines)
End With

MsgBox lngLine
