Word Macros: Run in Background 2

[RoguePoet01]

Hi,

I'm writing a simple footer macro for Word 2003.

Seems like there used to be a way to make this code execute in the background, but I can't remember how to do it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What do you mean by "run in the background"? Do you mean run with no visible screen changes? If so,

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

will do it. Just remember to turn it back to True at the end of your macro.

That's exactly what I mean, Fumei.

Thank you.

Wait....

Actually, that's still not working.

For some reason the macro is ignoring the FALSE setting.

Could you post your code please?

Application.ScreenUpdating is always True when you're in VBE.

Hope This Helps, PH.
