This article outlines how to run a macro

Requirments: DocumentsCorePack v4.20 and higher, WordMailMerge v2.80 and higher

MACRO OVERVIEW

* These macros are obsolet!

NOTE: All macros only work for DocumentsCorePack client-side document generation!

Below you will find a step-by-step description of how to add such a macro to a new or an existing template.

HOW TO: Add a macro to a new or an existing template, step-by-step description

1. Open Microsoft Office Word
2. Press the „Open Template“ button of the WMM/DCP Add-on

Attention: If you are opening an existing template always use the „Open Template“ button, do not use the double click or „New document with this template“ button (which is the same) otherwise there could be problems with references of the documents.

3. Or create a new Template (see: DocumentsCorePack Client User Guide)
4. To access the Visual Basic Editor press [Alt] + [F11]
5. Now Select „ThisDocument“ of the document where you want to add the macro

Again here the two points where you can look up to WordMailMerge or DocumentsCorePack:

• If you merge a single document and automatically merge to new document is activated, or you confirm if you are asked for it. In this case you will have to call the macro „DocumentsCorePackMacro“
  
  Here is a short example:
  Public Sub DocumentsCorePackMacro()
  MsgBox ("Hello World - DocumentsCorePackMacro")
  End Sub

• If you press „Create CRM Activity“ in Word and the whole merge process is finished. In this case you will have to call the macro „DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterCreate“. 
  
  Here is a short example:
  Public Sub DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterCreate()
  MsgBox ("Hello World - DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterCreate")
  End Sub
  
  

• DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterDatasourceLoaded - Will be executed after the datasource of the .dot template was loaded
  
  Here is a short example:
  Public Sub DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterDatasourceLoaded()
  MsgBox ("Hello World - DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterDatasourceLoaded")
  End Sub
  
  

• DCPMacro - After the .docx file was sucessfully generated.
  
  Here is a short example:
  Public Sub DCPMacro()
  MsgBox ("Hello World - DCPMacro")
  End Sub

In these two methods you can define your own macros.

6.  Now just press the „Save Template“ button of the WMM/DCP Add-on and the template is ready for use.
