I have some users that are working on some documentation for a new system
that we are implementing. In that documentation, they use macros to insert a
graphic and format the text to denote a note, a warning , or a tip. These
macros were provided by the third party developer that created the system.
The provided macros work fine for longer, "training manual"-style documents.
However, the writers are also trying to create smaller 1-page documents as
an overview/quick-start guide, and they would like to maintain a cohesive
style throughout all of the documentation.
The issue is that the third party macros format the text too big for the
page table they are using for the 1-page document. I am trying to recreate
the macros so they work with this 1-page template. There will have to be
separate macros for each style--Note, Tip or Caution--, but they all function
basically the same way:
1. Highlight the text to be formatted and run the macro
2. Copy selected text to clipboard and remove temporarily from document (Cut)
3. Macro splits the current cell into a 1X3 table
4. Inserts appropriate icon in R1,C1 and resizes it to approx .5" X .5"
(maintaining aspect ratios
4. Pastes selected text in R1, C3
5. Formats R1,C3 with the appropriate font and attributes--bold, italics, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
