I am starting to learn a little about Visual Basic code but have a long way
to go yet!
I have found some code and adapted it for my purposes and use it in a table.
The code is shown below:-
Select Case Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29)
Case "?"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) = "R"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color = wdColorRed
Case "R"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) = "A"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color = wdColorGold
Case "A"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) = "G"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color = wdColorBrightGreen
Case "G"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) = "?"
Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic
Case Else
End Select
When the code is called by a field cell it shows a ?, which when
double-clicked toggles through R, A, G then back to ?. What I would like to
happen is that the R, A, G should read Red, Amber & Green, however when I
change the letters to the words the code fails to work. Can anyone help
please?
What would be even better for me is if the when the R(ed) was selected the
shading of the cell became red, or when A(mber) was selected the shading
became amber etc. Am I being too hopeful?!
Regards
