Clear Button For Specific Content Control

Guessed · #1 06-07-2021, 03:53 PM

I would use a consistent Tag value in each CC that needs to be wiped by the macro. For example, set the Tag property to "Annual" for the plain text CCs you want to wipe.

The macro that then wipes those ones (at its simplest) would be

Code:

Sub DeciduousCCs()
  Dim aCC As ContentControl
  For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Annual")
    aCC.Range.Text = ""
  Next aCC
End Sub

You might need to complicate this if it doesn't work with the CC types in your document.

I tried using the code given, but I couldn't figure out how to use it.

But I have of thought of something but I do not know how to code it.
Say I have Content Control Title: Price and Product, both Tags "Annual" (assuming these values changes every year and other tags don't)

Maybe by using a event on exit

I add a rich text cc TAG: Clear
If I Select the field with the Clear Tag (On entry) then exit the field (On Exit)
Tags with "Annual" would clear
