SUMMARY
In Word you can select (check) or clear a check box option using the built-
in Word dialog boxes. For example, the Background Repagination option is a
check box that can be turned on or off (on the Tools menu, click Options,
and then click the General tab.) This functionality can be accomplished
using a Visual Basic for Applications routine (macro) that you create.
MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/refguide/In Visual Basic for Applications, a check box in a dialog box has a value of True (-1) to set a selected state or a value of False (0) to set a cleared state. The following Visual Basic example turns the Background Repagination option on or off each time you run the macro. When the Background Repagination check box is selected, its state is True (-1); when the check box is cleared, its state is False (0). Using the logical NOT operator, you can toggle between the True and False states each time you run the macro. That is, if the state is True, it toggles to NOT True (False), and if the state is False it toggles to NOT False (True).
Another method you can use checks the state and, dependent upon the
state, sets the opposite state using an If...Then...Else statement. Using
this method you can also perform an action based on the current state. For
example:
Note: When you use Options.Pagination=True, the option is turned On; when
you use Options.Pagination=False, the option is turned Off.
