Thread: Clear all TextBoxes in a document

Hello,

I have a several textboxes in a Word 2010 document to creat a form. I am trying to find a way to clear all of them when someone wants to start over with a new entry. I already know about the resetting of protection to reset formfields, but my boss wants to use the regular text boxes. Also, I understand about using a template and how opening the template will reset the boxes when opened but I want users to be able to reset it without closing/reopening.

I can get it to work if I do each one individually, but I would rather do some code similar to the code below in case my boss adds more boxes.

The code below works great for UserForms but it does not work for the controls in the document itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

For Each Control In Me.Controls 'Clear Input Boxes
    If TypeOf Control Is MSForms.TextBox Then
       Control.Text = ""
    End If
    If TypeOf Control Is MSForms.ComboBox Then
       Control.Text = ""
       Control.Clear
    End If
    If TypeOf Control Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
       Control.Value = False
       Control.Caption = ""
       Control.Visible = False
    End If
Next
