Hi,
I am new in forum and I need help :) I have a word document (word 2007), with tables. I want to fill tables, using data from excel workbook (excel 2007). There will be 20 tables with 15 rows each approximately.
In every row I want to add and combobox (activeX), where user can choose an mark from 1 to 5. This event will change an label in the same row, called condition, form "very good" to "very poor" . Then next combobox will display 3 options from excel sheet. I have 1 row ready :) And I would like to generalize it.
I read about classes, but I am not sure, if I can use it for activeX combobox. And I read something about OleObejcts and for each option.
I am learning VBA on my own, it's not my profession, sorry for my mistakes.
Thank you very much, Marianna
