Greetings All,



This is my first post... I am an avid VBA programmer in Excel & Access, but I am now working on a project I believe VBA can help me with in MS Word.

The current project I'm working on is re-designing a set of procedures to make them more efficient. Right now, these procedures have end users bouncing all over the document to piece together information to perform their tasks - they are truly unbearable to work with.

That said, the first goal I hope to achieve is to pull some of the tables and other repetitive data out of the main document and create separate documents stored in a folder on a share drive that multiple users can access by clicking a hyperlink/bookmark or other type of control feature from the main document.

I know how to do this from Excel & Access, but I'm brand new to MS Word VBA programming.

I hope my explanation makes at least a little sense...

Thank You So Much

Word has features that Excel doesn’t.
Unlike Excel workbooks Word documents remain attached to the template they were created from.
A Word template can store Building Blocks containing blocks of content. These can be made available without using any VBA simply by adding a custom ribbon tab to the template with controls for the building block galleries. My preference is to use the Custom galleries to keep the standard options separate.

Wow... I can see there is going to be a bit of a learning curve with Word...I really appreciate your response, Italophile... I will begin to learn more about these Building Blocks & Custom Galleries. Please stay close, I'm sure I'm going a little hand-holding with this app. Building Blocks? Custom Galleries? WTH?? I'm definitely not playing with Excel or Access anymore - LOL... Okay, off I go.

Thank You again, Italophile ~
