Diane, I read this in my email from "Word Tips". Thought you'd like seeing it. "Pay particular attention to the links to the tutorials written by Dian Chapman; they provide quite a bit of detailed information about forms." Celebrity status!! Selene ----- Original Message ----- From: Dian Chapman To: Mso Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 11:52 PM Subject: [mso] Word AutoForms & Beginning VBA eBook Well, Linda gave me permission to tell you all about my eBook, which is now available...so I'm taking her up on the kind offer to tell you that I've released my first eBook and you can download a preview copy at www.mousetrax.com/books.html. The first 40-ish pages are opened, so you'll get a free lesson explaining ways to format tables for setting up a good form layout, particularly for an invoice. And there are a few formatting and design tricks you'll get free just by reading the preview. If you want to learn how to build forms in Word, and then learn VBA programming to automate those forms so they self-calculate and work the way YOU want them to...this book will walk you through the process and explain it all as you program your own automated invoice. No experience needed! This is the same information I teach in my AutoForms class. And I've had some great feedback from students who have taken my classes, saying they are fun and they've learned a lot. I created this book as an alternate source for those folks who either don't have time for a 6 week class, prefer to learn on their own, or need the info NOW! If you've taken, or plan to take my AutoForms class, no need to get this book. It's just another way to get all the code and help by have me "there with you to show you how all this stuff is done in an easy to understand, stepXstep format." By the way...when *I* learned how to create AutoForms in Word...8 years ago...I was given a big promotion from Technical Graphic Designer to OLE Automation Developer, moved to the software development dept, got a cool office to myself, with a great view and starting earning nearly DOUBLE what I had been making as a designer! So even if you don't THINK you'd use these skills...you'd be surprised what these new skills can do for you! ;-) Dian Chapman Technical Consultant, Instructor, Microsoft MVP & TechTrax Editor Word AutoForm eBook: http://www.mousetrax.com/books.html Tutorial web site: http://www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html TechTrax Ezine: http://www.mousetrax.com/techtrax/ ************************************************************* 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.
