Make sure initial state is always set

[hugmarcel]

Hi

I have defined an initial state in the menu bar, e.g. field1 = 'x' and field2 = 'y'.

How can I make sure the initial state is always defined correctly for these 2 fields?

My experience is that the initial state gets lost sometimes after reloading the doc via script. I then have to redefine the state, but sometimes

I forget to do this.

-> It does not work with bookmarks, as bookmark will not be fired when enduser clicks the intial state button.

-> I cannot trigger the initial state with an action, and then i.e. check the =GetCurrentSelections() content.

Thx for your help!

Marcel,

Did you try action "select in field"? (on open and on post reload)

Hi

It is not useful to check the content of a field, I want to check the initial state is set correctly.

To do this, I need means to trigger the initial state, and only then thereafter I should check the field content.

It's not the same.

Thx - Marcel

Is it about "Clear State"?  First I thought you meant "initial selections".

So, if you want to trigger this state, you can use macro. This should work, it doesn't clear all but applies "Clear State":

sub ClearState

ActiveDocument.Clear

end sub

After that you can check the fields.
