You mean to reset the form? Depending on version, you may be able to reset it by unprotecting and reprotecting, but in recent versions you have to do this through the Tools menu, as the button on the Forms toolbar doesn't reset the form. And of course if the form is password-protected, you wouldn't be able to unprotect it. There's undoubtedly a VBA command that could somehow be run. There are ClearFormField and ResetFormField commands that could be added to a toolbar; if you could use Ctrl+A to select an entire form, that might work. But I'm just speculating, as I have almost no practical experience with forms. ClearFormField and/or ResetFormField sound like what I want - remove any entries made to all fields in a form and start over without closing/opening or unprotecting/protecting. Surprisingly few hits when searching for these commands. Where do I learn to use them in Word 2000? |

If you go to Tools | Customize, they're in the list for All Commands, which
means they can be added to a toolbar or assigned a keyboard shortcut (they're in that list as well). But I have no idea whether they'd work in a protected form. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
thanks for the help. ClearFormField/ResetFormField do not appear in ToolsCustomize or KIeyboard Shortcuts. I guess they are not in word2000. I looked in VBE - not there either. Realy hate having to Close/Open a form just to clear the fields but, unless you have another idea, looks like I'm stuck. Suzanne S.

It may be that in Word 2000 any method of unprotecting and reprotecting will
reset the form (which means you can use the padlock button on the Forms toolbar). ISTR that the difference was introduced in Word 2002; this is confirmed by http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...lfResetOff.htm, which tells the opposite of what you want to do, but you might find it helpful, anyway. -- Suzanne S.
