Whats the text in previous formfield

[Cifly]

Hey NG

I try to construct a function, at formfield exit, with which i can change
the color of the text in the formfield, based on the text in it at exit.

Eg. In my formfield, i have two different numbers "1" and "2". If the text,
at exit, is "1", then the text (the number 1) should be blue. If it is 2,
then the color of the number should change to purple.

Does anyone have a solution, code, for this maneuvre?

Thx in advance,
Cifly

Run a macro containing the following code on exit from the formfield:

With ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1")
If .result = 1 Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
.Range.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
Else
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
.Range.Font.Color = wdColorPlum
End If
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, noreset
End With

Great. Thx. It did the trick!

Have a great weekend.
