Hello,
I've been having a rough time getting this code to run properly in MS Word 2012. I'm trying to create a command button upon document open and modify it's properties.
When stepping through the code I get the "can't enter break mode" when reaching the button creation line, this isn't so bad because the code still runs. I just wanted to mention in case it might help point to the problem.Code:Private Sub Document_open() 'Add a command button to a new document Dim doc As Word.Document Dim shp As Word.InlineShape Set doc = ActiveDocument Set shp = doc.Content.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1") doc.InlineShapes(1).ConvertToShape 'On Error Resume Next With CommandButton1 .AutoSize = False .Caption = "Save & Close" .Enabled = True .Font = Calibri .Font.Bold = True .Font.Underline = False .Font.Size = 10 .Height = 24 .Left = 500 .Locked = False .TakeFocusOnClick = True .Top = 25 .Width = 72 End With End Sub
The reason I converted it to a shape is so I can access it's properties that require modification, however, upon reaching the "with" statement I get error 424 object required.
The weird thing is that if I leave the button still in the document and run the code again it works fine (although it makes another button)....so it seems like maybe the cannot enter break mode is causing the code to not recognize the command button....or maybe it needs a delay or something.
Any help is greatly appreciated....Thanks!
