HI every one,

i have a little question about MS WORD.
In EXCEL you can run Macro's to perform functions, ie go to a particular tab.

Can i do the same thing in word, ie have buttons that will take me dirctly to a particlur page ?

Many thanks

Not sure if you have use Macro's, but I'm fairly sure you can use hyperlinks to take you to different pages in the doc.

yep. vba is standard across all ms office apps. Have a look at tools, macro from the menu bar.

You sure can, I used to have a macro for header and footer for work at school.

After typing oddly long headers and footers after a year, 6-15 times a week, I got mad and spent half the lesson setting them up.

Can you let me know how I sent them up please.

Many thanks

Basically, start recording a macro and what you do between starting and stopping the macro becomes a function. So the next time you need to do 'repetitiveprocess1', you press that button and bang, done!

I'm wording if it can used between 2 applications though, Word and Excel incidentally. Anyone?
