Hello there,

I have a excel file that allows to create a number of standard excel documents and attaches to them a "validation toolbar". this toolbar reads from a hidden file the usernames of the people in the validation chain and the present status (OK NG or OG), based on this information allows the user next in the chain to approve the document (which in turn sends an email to the next user).

This works well in excel, but I was wondering if it could also be done in Word

even if the macros can be used similarly, I'd like to know how can I store the usernames and status data

any hints on the topic will be greatly appreciated since I haven't yet written any word macro

thank you in advance!
