Special Edition Using Microsoft® Word 2000

MacroButton

The MACROBUTTON field inserts a button in your text that, when double-clicked, runs a specified macro and inserts the results in your document.

Syntax

{ MACROBUTTON macroname displaytext }

The "macroname" can be any macro currently accessible to Word; in other words, any macro in an active template.

Examples

You can use Macrobutton to insert a button that runs any macro you create or a command that comes with Word. To display the message "Print One Copy Now," and attach the command "FilePrintDefault," which does just that when clicked:

{ MACROBUTTON FilePrintDefault Print One Copy Now }
