Text Form Date
In my Word 2007 document, I have a text form with Type equal to 'Date'. Is
there a way I can set the default date to be the current date? (I don't want to set the Type to 'Current date' because then the user can't change it.) Thanks! Mary Fetsch

This could be done with an "Entry" macro assigned to the form field in
question. What follows is a simple version of such a macro: Sub TestMacro() If Trim$(ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1") _ ..Result) = "" Then ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1") _ ..Result = Format$(Now(), "MMMM DD, YYYY") End If End Sub It is assumed that the bookmark name specified for the field is "Text1" (which is the default). If you have chosen a different name, you should of course use that one instead. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mary Fetsch" wrote in message news  In my Word 2007 document, I have a text form with Type equal to 'Date'.
