Spec book maker
Somewhat new to Word macros, but I have moderate experience in Excel macros.
I am trying to create a spec book maker. Where one may fill in a prompt from start up, based off the prompt large amounts of text are added (such as if they type "01" a lenght text about 01 is added), and then the the pages are auto numbered. Is this even possible? Any direction is greatly appreciated. |

Yes it is possible but you would need to provide more information before anyone can give any meaningful guidance.
Do a few searches on this forum or google and get to know some of the terminology so you can ask a clearer question. Or post a document that shows what you want to happen.

Okay for anyone doing something similar, here is how to prompt information into a field: https://superuser.com/questions/676110/how-to-prompt-for-information-when-starting-a-new-document-from-microsoft-word-t
Still working on figuring out if one can insert pages based on the field, or some alternative. Numbering is of course using Ctrl+F9> right click > edit field> AutoNum |

Solved! If anyone is ever looking for something similar.
1) Put all the information that needs to be filled out on one document. 2) Create a pop up and fields using this method : https://superuser.com/questions/676110/how-to-prompt-for-information-when-starting-a-new-document-from-microsoft-word-t Mine looks something like this { SET myfield { FILLIN "my prompt text" } } { REF myfield } 3) Instead insert pages automatically use the "IF" function pasting the full text of the needed page in the last set of quotation marks, mine looked like this: { If {TRIM "myfield"}="Manhole" "MANHOLE DATA SHEET ..."} 4) At the end of all your pages use Numbering by : Ctrl+F9> right click > edit field> AutoNum |
