hi,

i need to set the help text of a text object using macro .

thanks in advance:)

why not using a variable in the help text?

Then you can set the content of the variable per macro!

like this:

Function setVariable

set v=ActiveDocument.Variables("nameofyourQVVariable")

v.Forcecontent "1",1

END function

hope this helps

here is a macro, which sets the helptext of a textbox:

Sub setHelptext

set g = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TX01")

set gp = g.GetProperties

gp.Layout.Frame.HelpText.v = "FillInYourHelptextHere"

g.SetProperties gp

end Sub

hope this helps!
