    Word 365 Title (same style as Msgbox for VBA) for Textbox? (w/o VBA)


    Word 365 How to have a Title (same style as Msgbox for VBA) for Textbox ?

    I need to display, but NOT print, Date formula in a Shape (hyperlinked to hidden text in main body of Word) with Title for this formula.

    If I can use VBA, I would use a Msgbox with Title.

    Word Textbox can contain hyperlink but how to get it a Title ? I am hoping to find equivalent of MsgBox-Title.

    How else to display Title but NOT print ?

    Thanks Ahead!

    Textbox does not have a title property.

    You could emulate it by creating two text boxes and dragging them around so they look like a single one

    I have no ideas about your wish to avoid anything showing in print.

    Word 365 Default File Name using First paragraph - character restriction ? (e.g. dot, comma)

    How to semi-automate dynamic File Names using Default-File-Name-feature which sets Save-As-dialog-box from 1st paragraph or Title?
    My understanding of paragraph is "anything with a hard return after it (you have pressed Enter or Return)".
    Wouldn't that imply comma or dot should be recognized as part of first paragraph ?
