Hi Andrew,

The problem with that is that is that it doesn't work with Shapes - only with InlineShapes - and, if you use, say an Oval autoshape as the InlineShape, all Word displays is a grey panel where the field is. Conversely, if you use the docm format with a graphical object, double clicking on the field activates the Picture Tools contextual tab instead of the macro.
