I have used Content Control Mapping (video will show you what I mean) - it is well worth the time with Combo Dropdowns and cc_Lists to fill the Combo Dropdowns. You can restrict template but I don't think you should (smile). You can do quite a lot.Ī short video demo: !ArGU6IkMJOsche1PsiKrmjldSpNiRw Once you install Content Control Tool you will be in mapping Content Control heaven. I saw your create date - but prefer not to mix legacy fields and CCs. The template memo.dotm (2 macros - auto insert today's date and delete CCs when finished and leave content - green button attached to template) I attach a memo template, the cc_List variables to be loaded for Combo Content Controls - you use these as you can type info if what is in dropdown is not what you want.

I, (fill in first and last name), was scheduled to work at (fill in name of the business), located at (fill in the address) on (fill in the day of the week), (fill in the month) (fill in the date), (fill in the year) between (fill in start time in military time) and (fill in end time in military time). I have several boilerplate memorandums that need to be generated where there are several variables that can be entered by the user. I am extremely new at VBA for Word but have some basic knowledge of macros. After entering the variable, the macro would continue running until the next variable needed to be entered and again stop for user input. It would then pause and prompts the user to insert their own variable text (with use of the InputBox). The language is quite repetitive and I would like to create a macro or VBA in Word where the user would launch the macro from the menu and the macro would enter some lines of text into the document. A long time ago in Wordperfect, I was able to create macros that would run boilerplate text, pause for user input and upon using enter would continue with the rest of the boiler plate.
