But I'm not sure which problem allowing the field to be empty would solve for you. However, with text fields, the field can be empty but apparently cannot contain spaces. I think you have probably posted a question in Teylyn's thread so it will be interesting to see if you get an answer there.Īs for "required", you set that in the settings for the column in the SharePoint library. The behaviourĪppears to be the same in Word 2007, 20 at the moment. If I then edit the document, I am not able to save the document because the document panel says a field has been. There is always going to be instances where fields are left empty. I have to say that I can no longer remember whether the behaviour was always like that, but it's difficult to see how Teylyn's example could ever have worked unless either the behaviour used to be like that, or some other factor is involved. I have a SP list that when a new item is created, through workflow it creates a word 2010 document in a document library and inserts these columns using quick parts. properties, as in your link, or one from a SharePoint list. It doesn't matter whether I use a "built-in" content control, cf. changing the value to contain something changes the values of all the content controls, but changing the value to "empty" only shows the placeholder text for those contentĬontrols that are not nested inside fields (it's not just IF fields). I tried the method shown in the link you gave, and have the same experience as you, i.e. In the demo provided by Teylyn, her's does work, butĪpologies if I have not posted this in the correct forum. Is there either a way to not make the field required - or is there a way to ensure that the field goes blank if any text is removed from that field. This does work well, but for some reason in my document, if I need to delete the text out of the field, then it won't go blank again - it keeps So I then found a great article on using an IF field to hide an empty/blank field. If I then edit the document, I am not able to save the document because the document panel says a field has been left blank. With ActiveDocument.Styles(Word.I have a SP list that when a new item is created, through workflow it creates a word 2010 document in a document library and inserts these columns using quick parts. To avoid that, use something like this: Sub HideATableStyleButMakeItVisibleWhenUsed() If the user copies a table from another document, and that table has your hidden style applied to it, then the user cannot see what style has been applied to the table. Users can then easily apply the corporate-approved table styles when working on documents based on that template.īut… there is a disadvantage to this method. Leave the approved custom or built-in table styles visible. If you're creating a template for corporate use, it may be appropriate to hide most of the built-in table styles in the template. With ActiveDocument.Styles(Word.wdStyleTableLightShading) Something like this will do the trick: Sub HideATableStyle() There is no way in the user interface to hide the built-in table styles.īut you can do it in code. Or, the in-house rules may be that 2 or 3 of the built-in styles are to be used, but the rest are off limits. Well-constructed templates for corporate use are likely to have 2 or 3 custom table styles that fit the corporate branding. The solution: hide most, if not all, of the built-in table styles A corporate environment is likely to have 2 or 3 'approved' ways to format a table. In a corporate environment, the communications people would tear their hair out if users formatted tables in 99 different ways. Having applied one of the 99 styles, the user can then choose whether or not to show banded columns, banded rows, header or total rows and so on. Maybe you want to present a document but want to keep certain things hidden, create a quiz and hide the answer. There could be various reasons behind why you might want to hide a text in Microsoft Word. Once hidden, you can print the document with or without the invisible text. This gives you, out of the box, 99 table styles from which to choose. Yes, Microsoft Word has an option to hide text in a document. The Design tab includes the Table Styles group. In Word 2007 and Word 2010, when you click within a table, two Table Tools contextual tabs become available on the Ribbon.
