[mso] Re: Help with some Code in Word

Geoff:

Please don't despair if nobody has leapt in yet. Yours is the kind of
query I'd love to reply to in some detail, but I'm crushed with
production these past few days. If you can hang on, I'll try to give it
some thought early next week.

Subject: [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!
=20

I have found some code and adapted it for my purposes and use it in a
table.
The code  is shown below:-

=20

Select Case Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29)

  Case "?"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) =3D "R"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color =3D wdColorRed

  Case "R"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) =3D "A"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color =3D wdColorGold

  Case "A"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) =3D "G"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color =3D
wdColorBrightGreen

  Case "G"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29) =3D "?"

    Selection.Fields(1).Code.Characters(29).Font.Color =3D
wdColorAutomatic

  Case Else

End Select

=20

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?

=20

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?!

=20

Regards
