Ugggg! So I have to take formal meeting notes and I want to insert Macros (I think) I've created a document already and just need to assign certain text. Basically, I want to create something that looks like this [Name of Secretary]. I want to create several of them for different information. Does anyone know what I'm talking about (I know I should take a class)? I would like to have this done before my meeting tonight. Help!

What you're describing has nothing apparent to do with macros. Headings maybe.

Nothing to do with headings. 5 people told me, Macros...Wish they were around to show me. came to this sight thinking someone could show me how. thanks though

Five people might have told you 'macros', but so far you haven't described anything that entails them. So, unless you can give a better description of what you're trying to achieve, you're unlikely to get any different advice here.

Thanks, but I got help on another forum and it was macros. They asked questions instead of just flat out saying no. Best teachers know the right questions. But again, thanks so much for your time and attention. Have a good one :-)

No-one here said 'no', either. All that was said is that you haven't provided any information upon which specific advice could be given. Nothing's changed.

As for posting to other forums, there is a certain etiquette to follow. Please read: http://www.excelguru.ca/content.php?184

If you are looking to create a single document with those areas to edit, what you want to do is protect the document, and create 'exceptions' for those areas to allow editing. (select the editable text, and click 'Everyone' in the 'Exceptions' checkbox on the Protect Document pane, then protect the document when finished.)

If you are looking to create multiple letters with data from a datasource, look at Mail Merge
