"Conditional Formatting" of Word Table Cell
Excel has a conditional formatting feature that will reformat a cell when a particular condition is met.
Is it possible to reformat a Word table cell when a condition is met, similar to Excel's feature? I have a mail merge field placed in a table cell, for which if it equals NO, the cell becomes shaded, otherwise it is normal. Jenn |

There is a way, using VBA programming.

"Conditional Formatting" of Word Table Cell
Hi MaxArk,
There's no Word equivalent of Excel's conditional formatting. However, you can control the formatting of the text, including its foreground and background colouring. To see how to do this and perform a wide range of calculations in Word, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party In particular, look at the item titled 'Formatting Numeric Field Results'.
