VBA for content controls

ciresuark · #1 03-10-2015, 10:30 AM

I am using the following code to update fields in a document. I am using an IF formula based upon a combo box.

Code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
    Selection.WholeStory
    Selection.Fields.Update  
End Sub

Few questions.
1. Is it possible to set up VBA to only function on one content control in a letter?

2. With the code above the whole document is selected, and remains highlighted after the fields update. Is there code to remove the highlighting the document, like a click of the mouse?

Thank you for your assistance.

You don't have to select anything.

Code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
  Select Case ContentControl.Title 'or .Tag
     Case "Title of CC you want this code to fully execute"
        ActiveDocument.Fields.Update   
  End Select
End Sub

There are considerably better ways to defined conditional text based on a list selection that IF fields. See: http://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages/...wn%20list.html
