creating a code to create dynamic text in word

ah8471 · #1 12-29-2015, 03:40 PM

Hi guys,
I have a word document and I want to create a code with dynamic fields in it. For instance. When I open the document it should have a command button. When I click the command button then several fields should ask me NAME, AGE, BLOOD PRESSURE, RESPIRATORY RATE and so on.

I want to create a dynamic text which will be created according to an IF Formula. So if BLOOD PRESSURE IS above 160 then write 'Elevated Blood' Pressure in the Word File.

can someone help me with this?

thanks

I would do this with a userform - see the basics at http://www.gmayor.com/Userform.htm You can write the results or alternative texts based on the results to bookmarked locations, docvariables or content controls.

Take for example the part of the userform shown on that page to write a value to a bookmark i.e.

Code:

FillBM "bm1", Me.TextBox1.Text

If TextBox1 is your blood pressure field (it helps to use meaningful field names) then you could modify that to

Code:

If Me.TextBox1.Value > 160 Then 
    FillBM "bm1", "Elevated Blood Pressure"
End If

These are just simple examples. You could for example include error handling to ensure only numeric values are entered in the text box. You'll find code for that and other related things at http://www.gmayor.com/useful_vba_functions.htm
