Thanks for the Video! We create hundreds of the exact same form every year and this made it so much quicker

Great video. many thanks. Legal Documents are a nuisance in terms of repeating names, etc. This video certainly is a big help

Marco from Brazil... Excellent video. It does work perfectly!!!!

Wow thank you so much for this simple but effective video. It's what I needed to know to automate some documents that I deal with everyday. Bravo and much success to you for taking the time and sharing this with others. BTW the links to the code are coming back 404 codes but I copied the code off the screen so no big deal but if you could update the links, it would be a time saver for others.

This was SUPER helpful thank you

I just created some bookmarks for this video, so that I won't need to search the whole video every time. So, either use i or just ignore it: 6:24 Create User Form 7:04 TextBoxes 7:54 Labels 9:03 Buttons 10:30 Code for "Button Clicked" 12:52 Code for Document (just one line: .Show)

This was an extremely helpful video. Thank you, sir

Oh my gosh!! U just solved all my problems! Lol! I needed to create a form for one of my classes and couldn't figure out the last part on bow to save as a template🤔 thanks

Great video! Congratulations.

Excellent thank you for making this video

Great video! I created a template and saved it as a new Personal template. Although, when the data is filled in the dialog box the hyperlinked items shows number "1" for all entries. Is there a shortcut keys that could be used to open the dialog box for the auto fill texts.

THANK YOU!!!

Hi can you pls reupload the code. It isnot available. Thank you!!

Great tutorial. I have created a good handfull of documents for my work based on the tutorial, but I also need to make a textbox, where the user can enter the first page-number (start with pagenumber 34), and then the first page in the document is numbered 34. I know this i possible, but I cannot figure out how. Perhaps something for a new tutorial?

Hi Great video and it does work perfectly. I now have a question, do you know if I can restrict editing on a macro-enable template document? I'm trying to do it and Microsoft word 2016 is not allowing the function. Please I appreciate your response

I need help creating a drop down tab with filliable information in additional spaces. Say for instance I chose "Boxhead Company" in the drop down tab, I need "Boxhead Companies address, phone number, and fax to automatically fill in,,,,,, is there a way to do this in a Microsoft Word document?

Is it possible to have different formatting/font for hTitle and h2Title?

Hello, how I can make this method when I save the document and not when I open?

Hello, I'm trying to make something for my group that will allow other people to use on their computer with a download. I want to create something that I could type into a form and it will go straight to the custom form itself, which I'm sure this tutorial should help. I'm just not sure if I would also be able to make an application/form on the computer that others are able to access that would show instead of me having to use Word as a main source to fill out the information.

nvm.. I just tried new window open instead of new and that did the trick! thanks

Any code handy to deal with check boxes in the input form? Here is the goal: If check box is true on input form, check a corresponding check box on the doc and set the values of a variable text box on the input form to a bookmark on the doc? Thanks!

Thank you

I can't add a user form when I open Visual Basic . what should I do ?

This was so easy to follow. Thank you! Two questions - We use sharepoint. Is there a way for all staff to use the same template through Sharepoint or must it be loaded onto every computer? Also, Is there a way to make a button on the ribbon in Word that you can click to launch the template?

I am looking for someone to help me create a form. Do you do that for as well? Thanks..

Thank u bro

You can enter or change a page number anytime you want without disturbing the header data. Simply select "insert page number" "current position." this process will put your page number wherever the cursor is and leave the header data as you entered it. I used to think what you said was true...and it's hard to these little secrets.

could you please upload the code again please because it doesn't work anymore and thank you

Excellent video. Its easy to work with excel docs, but MS didn't make it as easy work with the word docs.

Can you have many text boxes or will i need to creat an additional user form? So say I have 100 questions that require the text boxes, I probably cant fit all of them on one user form. Do I need to creat additional ones? If so how and how will they pop up? Is there an ability to have a next button that will pop up the next dialogue box while in the completed document?

Hi, thanks for the great content, I'm hoping to create a MS word Forms template which includes IF statements (or any other way) to move the user from one option to the next e.g. If they select London I want them to be presented with options that apply to london like see Tower Bridge, see Big Ben etc. Do you have a video on this type of thing or can you advise if its possible? Thanks

Hey LearningEngineer, thanks for the great video. I am looking desperately for a solution. I want to create a Form in which you can fill out a page and if necessary you can dublicate this exaxt page by clicking on a command button. I am nearly succeeding in creating the right macros, but my problem is that this button won't stay on his place, because above of it I placed a "content control element" which contains for certain choices two written lines and pushes the button down, so he needs to be embedded and stay where he belongs, for gods sake!!! So I really do appreciate an answer from you. Best regards

Do you know if it's possible to do this on Mac's Word 2016? I've just opened the VB editor but don't have the same options. I will get Googling, but thought I'd ask anyway...

Great video. I have a question. Is there a way to show a text in the textboxes like some kind of example that banishes once you click on them and reapear if you leave them blank?

This video does as exactly as described, which is awesome if that's what you're looking for. BUT. . . I came here hoping to learn how to apply these concepts to a different project I'm working on. And it was pretty good info up until the point that the code is just copied and pasted. I want to know what all of that code means!!! Otherwise, I can't adapt it and am still looking for how to use this in a way that is helpful for me. It's the old adage "give someone a fish. . ." I really do appreciate the steps up until the code is copied, though.

how thw code would appear to clear the content added?

I have a large project that has been given to me and I think there must be a way to automate it. I have 230 outlines that need to be copied & pasted into a word template. Is there a way to automate the outline into a form and then populate the Word guide template using something similar here? I am not a VBA coder.

Excellent tutorial. I have a question: I want to create a user form with a list of names/addresses to auto fill the document... any recommendations?

Hi, great tutorial. I'm struggling a bit with the code. I got a bit lost with sending the info to multiple spots on the document. Is this correct: Dim (UserForm caption) As Range Set (UserForm caption)= ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("(bookmark)").Range (UserForm caption).Text = Me.TextBox1.Value

Hi, great video! At one point you mention that you have to use a unique bookmark for each. I have the same info entered multiple times in a document, is it possible to use the user-form together with the insert>quickparts>field>ref>bookmark function? This can usually be used to link back to a previous instance of a book mark.

Very well done and easy to follow tutorial! Thanks! Question: once I create a document from this template, is there a way to update some of the information (annually, for example), or must I start over with a new template?

Hi there. Is there a way to access the created dialogue box while in the document? Thanks.

So I have a question. I used this option so i could enter information to auto populate into two different forms but i need to know is how can I make the text wrap in the text box of the user form. One of the Text boxes I made is for a narrative and it just continues on where i can't read everything I wrote.

I have made the document a couple of times and made it to "enable document" and pops up a "run time error 424" "Object required" and highlights "Debug"

Hey! I've done this a few times and copied and pasted your code. When I open the new template, I get a "run time error 424" code.

Can you use a current document and use this to add it to certain fields?

I must be doing something wrong, I have followed your steps and all seems to be working well as a document, but when I save it as a macros enabled template the document either doesnt populate or my form doesnt show up. Help?!

Hi - great video. I too was confused by the code for the "Ok" button around minute 10:30. I am trying to use this video as a guide to create my own fillable form, so I need so more info re: the code. "I have a variable named studentName" - did you create that somehow? Or is it just the label of the first text box without spaces? Sorry if this is a rookie question!

How to change font style and size of text output, example when I finish the fill up box and when I click submit, the text output should be bold or underlined

Thanks! I am looking for something like this for days. Just wanna automate my little law office without paying 100s of Euros for overpriced law software. Can you make a tutorial like this but with checkboxes and dropdown menus? For full range of options when creating a document

Can you have radio buttons in a UserForm that can be inserted as a bookmark? I aslo want to put in a reset button that when pushed will bring up the userform to completed again...

I got lost in minute 10:24 when fix the button Ok. About the information copied from the yellow icon. Where can I get it and where do I originate it?

Thanks for the video, its really helpful. Do you think that you would be able to update the link to the code soon, as its still showing a 404 page fault.

When the user hits "Cancel", how could you also have it close the new document in addition to hiding the dialogue box?

How do I lock the file and just VBA run? When I add a password to the document the VBA doesn't run. Also what if the client want to modify the field after they hit OK?

if you wouldn't mind- can I contact you via email or something ? I had some questions.

I have one question about the bookmarks, after following the steps i realize that when the bookmarks filled with value it will disappear :(, meaning that document cannot be edited using the userform. Can you help me to figure it out?

How to make a field mandatory in the form?

Hi. I just made this form... and I believe I followed all your steps, but the form does not pop up upon open.

Maybe I am missing something but what kind of object is "Me"?

Is there a way for me to keep track of the names of my bookmarks without me having to exit the vba page and click insert bookmarks and then see what the names of my bookmark? Do I have to keep a record of the names of my bookmarks when I write them down?

Hi, the link for VBA code is missing, how can I have it? Thanks for the informative video

And on that, there is no way to get rid of your brackets? If you turned in a paper with those brackets in place, you would get an F. I've been on this video for 40 minutes and have had to start over ten times because something you have done or haven't done isn't lining up with Word 2016

Great video! Just a request: could you update the new file and code links? These are giving a 404 page right now.

Link is broken, do you have the code or file elsewhere?

Where is the link to the code for the cancel button please?

Is this Works on Mac os?

My okay button wont click, hence the form wont fill

Where is the code?

I Have To Many Name Of Same Person In My Document on different pages. How to Fill Name To Many Places using Only one Bookmark i.e "Name"

You didn't tell us how to create or identify the 'variables'?? Can't finish my doc

I'm doing this right now and it should be a sin to be stupid because if you make one mistake it wrecks the process. Or you made an error on the part when you get out of the header for the first time. Why can't you justy use the APA style format Word comes with and erase the pages you don't need... it won't let you!!

Great video, when I type stinfo, i dont get the popup to allow me to add the hide command. What am I doing wrong ?

A good video. What I dont get is why the code is not better organised like this: Dim schoolName As Range Set schoolName = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("sSchool").Range schoolName.Text = Me.TextBox3.Value Dim studentName As Range Set studentName = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("sName").Range studentName.Text = Me.TextBox1.Value Dim paperTitle As Range Set paperTitle = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("pTitle").Range paperTitle.Text = Me.TextBox2.Value Dim p2Title As Range Set p2Title = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("p2Title").Range p2Title.Text = Me.TextBox2.Value Dim hTitle As Range Set hTitle = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("hTitle").Range hTitle.Text = Me.TextBox2.Value Dim h2Title As Range Set h2Title = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("h2Title").Range h2Title.Text = Me.TextBox2.Value Dim schoolName As Range Set schoolName = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("sSchool").Range schoolName.Text = Me.TextBox3.Value hTitle.Font.AllCaps = True h2Title.Font.AllCaps = True Me.Repaint Dim strDocName As String Dim intPos As Integer

Good evening, I am having the error 424 Object required when opening the created template. I have added 6 bookmarks to fill. Do you have any advice on what could be the issue? My form is named "Datos". The code is as follows: Private Sub OKButton_Click() Dim Company_name As Range Set name = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Company_name").Range name.Text = Me.Campo1.Value Dim address As Range Set address = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Company_address").Range address.Text = Me.Campo2.Value Dim town As Range Set town = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Company_town").Range town.Text = Me.Campo3.Value Dim zipcode As Range Set zipcode = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Company_zipcode").Range zipcode.Text = Me.Campo4.Value Dim Job As Range Set Job = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Job_name").Range Job.Text = Me.Campo5.Value Dim ref As Range Set ref = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Job_ref").Range ref.Text = Me.Campo6.Value Me.Repaint Datos.Hide End Sub Thanks for any help provided and great tutorial
