Validate Sign Word Simple

Validate Sign Word Fast

hey everybody today's video is in Word 2013 we're going to create a form in Word and then we're going to validate one of these fields specifically we're going to require a field now as you can see my file has been saved as a dot docm file the M stands for macro enabled and that means that this file will be able to have macros in it which are the little snippets of code that will in fact validate the fields I also have the Developer tab up at the top of the screen if you don't already have your Developer tab open at the top of your screen what you're going to do is you're going to right click the ribbon and on the context menu that shows up choose customize the ribbon when you choose customize the ribbon a new dialog box opens up and you'll be able to see very quickly and easily that that dialog box has a checkbox over on the right-hand side that says Developer on it so go ahead and click that checkbox to make sure that you in fact have the Developer tab so if you do that if you have a Developer tab at the top of the screen then you can start to talk about creating your form as you can see all I've done here is typed in and format at a title and then made a table and put some text content in and then I went in and I added what are called form fields now you add a form field on that Developer tab by going to your controls area and I specifically chose to use my legacy controls because I find that I'm more able to validate these with my VB scripting skills so I'm adding text boxes check boxes drop-down menus things like that from this drop-down menu here and as you can see it puts these gray boxes into my form now once I have my form with all these different fields I need to start talking about sort of what I do with those fields as you can see here if I right click on any of the fields and I choose properties you'll see the different things that I can change about this field but very specifically every form field that you create needs to have a unique name that you have specifically chosen for it a lot of people just go ahead and leave whatever the default name is but it's important that you come right here to this bookmark name and notice if I go over to this next one right click on and choose properties I've given that one again a unique name you need to make sure you know what you named it and why you named it that it needs to be clear and understandable and then it's going to make it a lot easier in a little bit here when we use our macros...
