Word "Macro" Bugs

M

Mark Mellard

Any input on the following "macro" mysteries would be
greatly appreciated! Our company's best "Word" gurus
could not solve the remaining "bugs." I am using Word '97
with Windows '95, but another employee with Word '02 and
Windows 2000 had the same bugs. THANKS!!!

A Word ('97) document has a "macro" for a "Risk Rating"
Number of One thru Five (latter choices in "drop-down"
field). Upon opening the file and changing the Risk
Rating Number the first time, the macro automatically
triggers changes in the immediately following concluding
sentence and the "Recommended Action" check box to the
right. Then, if you made a mistake or change your mind
regarding the Risk Rating Number and change it a second or
multiple times, the "auto" trigger does not always work to
effect the changes of the corresponding concluding
sentence and recommended action check box. You can
manually trigger the changes by hitting the "Tab" key, but
this could result in some inadvertent input if the
operator is not careful.

Secondly, another bug, is that sometimes multiple changes
of the Risk Rating Number and manual hitting of the "Tab"
key to effect the macro changes results in the Risk Rating
Number field totally disappearing.
