You... may have to rephrase that. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I didnt sleep last night,  am on cough meds and working kinda non stop,  if that counts :D



imagine sth like this: visitors can't see pics , please register or login

 
where you can move the bar,  with the bar then  either pointing to a set of numbers like Vibe suggested,  or the moving of the bar displays the changing numbers in a field next to the bar.

hurray for expressing ones self!

^?

And you want this... in a word document? I don't think that is doable, tbh.

Why would you want this in a Word document, anyway?

Torben,

In english, we call this "a gauge"
You can easly make one with HTML5, but with Word.... i think you can't.

I don't really understand the question but if it is a slider what you are aiming for Herezy is totally correct. You can't do that on Microsoft Word since it's just a printed display and does not interpret any programming.

What do you need it for, a presentation, a website..?

You can try Powerpoint if it is a presentation or PHP if you need it for a website.

EDIT: I think I kinda know what you mean but I dont see why would it be useful in a Word Document since these are normally printed afterwards. A slider to display different numbers in theory seems like a job for Excel.

ah,  ok thanks man : )

we are using word documents within the program that files our patients.  before we were only half digital,  printing out certain forms and putting them into paper files. Now we are just saving these word docs in every patients file,  and i am looking for ways to make it more efficient filling them in.

that gauge (thanks herzey : ) woulda been a nice little gimmick,  and as I knew they are applicable in other office programs, I hoped they would be as well in word.

and ofc the lovely crpg community was the first I thought about asking : )
