Field codes

Hi Vicki

Thanks for your question. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been looking for ways of making this work. A simple way would be to create an auto-correct entry that puts both the salutation and the signature block in at the same time. Type in the Dear Sir and Yours Sincerely highlight them and from Insert choose Autotext > Autotext.. Repeat the process with the second version of your Salution and close.

Now when you begin to type Dear Sir Word will offer to insert the entire block. You can then type your letter between the opening and closing text.

If your document is a template and already contains text the auto-correct method won't work.

The only other way I can see so is to write a macro that checks the value of the fillin and triggers a change in a book- mark field that contains the appropriate sign-off at the end of the letter. Unfortunately it is outside the scope of the forum to produce code but you might be interested our VBA training. Our public schedule Excel VBA course whilst not directly related to Word would give you a good understanding of how VBA works in relation to an Office application. You can find out more here

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
