|
|
Hello,
Here is what I want to do in OOo Write: I want to create a document that
when you open it, you get a form where you input some data and
select some boxes etc.
Based on your selections a separate form or letter is compiled.
Maybe this should be done in Calc since you have worksheets there.
This form/letter can then be printed and saved into a separate document,
all from this original document.
To be more specific: let's say I have 6 different policies, numbered
1 to 6. Selecting number 2 should display a specific text in the
destination sheet. Data from other fields, such as name, address etc.,
are also included in that destination sheet, which is then a
policy form that you can print and/or save into a separate document.
I hope my question is clear, and if all possible.
Maybe this is the wrong post section, but have to start somewhere
right.
Thanks for any replies/suggestions!!!

Stay with Writer and have a look at Edit>AutoText...
(see: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=124595)
So, typing p2 and hitting F3 would insert your policy 2 into the document.
Does this help? _________________ Cheers

Winfried,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, I know about the AutoText feature, and yes that would be option.
I just wondered whether what I posted would be possible too,
and then how to do it ofcourse.
Is it?
But thanks for your post!!
Cheers |

Yes, but this would need some serious programming.
See Andrew's Macro Document for examples in BASIC _________________ Cheers

Thanks,
I know about that site, was already looking at it.
But I thought maybe someone could direct me straight to a useful macro.
In any case, thanks for your replies!!
