Option buttons to show text

[vandaley]

HI,

I am trying to create a user form in word VBA that when pressing an
option button a certain text will appear in the document.
When pressing a different option button a different piece of text will
show.
this way the user will follow the qizard and will create a document.
Of course the text is a long string with screen shots and not just
text.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can have the text/images in the document, but formatted as hidden text
and bookmarked. When a user clicks the appropriate option button, you can
run a routine that turns the hidden text into viewable text for the
boorkmark.

HTH,
Dave

Dave,

Thanks, and what is the syntax for doing that?

Dave,

*Most* of the time you can get the syntax needed by recording a macro while
manually going through the steps that you want to happen, like inserting
text files or inserting pictures into a document, or hiding/unhiding
selected or bookmarked text. Then check the code it shows in the recorded
macro and tweak it if necessary; then cut and paste to make it part of the
action done when your userform buttons are pressed. That should be a
preliminary step to work things out for yourself and then ask specific
questions in the forums if your initial code isn't satisfactory and by
showing the code you've tried. Sometimes a recorded macro doesn't show all
the necessary code and you can't find it in VBA help. Then tell the forum
that you at least tried those steps yourself.

You're Welcome,
