Question about Macros in Microsoft Word
Posted on 3/26/17 at 9:53 pm

I searched Microsoft forums, but couldn't find anything.
Currently, I have a button, that when clicked, removes form fields from a document.
My goal is for the form fields to be removed automatically when a certain piece of text goes away. In other words, I don't want to have to click the button every time.
Is this possible?

I do more macro work in Excel, but Word should be very similar.
You simply need to assign your macro to an event. There should be an event for a document change. Just put your macro here, and include an if statement to only run when your specific text is entered or removed from that field.
There may be other event triggers more fitting. I'm just not familiar with what's available. For example in Acrobat, it would be assigned to "On Blur", which is when the user moves out of the text field (by clicking or tabbing).
