Removing Butttons

[Paul Hammond]

I have created a button on a master document that merges
it to a new document and updates the fields. This works
fine, but it also places a button on each page. I need
this button removed from the final document, but I can't
figure out how.


TIA,

The first thing the button code should do is delete the button. As you have
found out, there isn't a Delete property for the button.
An easy work around is to encapsulate the button in a bookmarked range
paragraph and to delete that range.
If you need it floating, put the button in a textbox, anchor the textbox to
an empty paragraph, bookmark that paragraph mark, delete the bookmarked
range.

That solved one problem, but caused another.

My original document is missing the button now, which I
guess I can live with by just not saving the document.

Merci beaucoup.
