If there were just buttons, or an input and just two buttons, it would be a message box or input box, respectively. But what you describe would be a custom dialog box or userform. So as I said, you can learn a lot by reading the articles on the links I gave you and my eBook will get you rolling big time with programming custom VBA code in Word. Good luck!

But not seeing it, it's impossible to tell for sure, although I'm assuming it's a userform since there's mention of several options and only a userform would provide that ability.

LOL!) Anyway, i am working somewhere at the moment where they have what i presume to be a macro on the tool bar...when I fiddled (as i do) it came up with a box with fax, copy, and draft...then the document was watermarked which I liked!! Sooo ive been doing some digging and got myself totally confused...i have created basis macros with a copy and a draft and put the buttons on the toolbar....but is this a userform type or a combo box or a message box? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)) the computer techs at the workplace reckon its all a macro, but i dont think so ... I did find the userform lesson at mvp ..which i am still struggling with..but it wont beat me...but i think i might be approaching this the wrong way ! ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
