[mso] Help with some Code in Word

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
