A macro for Word doc

[Gy Rubio]

I am trying to create a macro in Microsoft Word using a COMMAND BUTTON and not the "hyperlink" box

I typed in the following but not linking me to the site

do I have to change the ActiveWorkbook to something else


Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://tamis.army.mil", _
NewWindow:=True
End Sub

In Word you must use ActiveDocument and not ActiveWorkbook

I used the ActiveDocument

and it gave me this error

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveDocument.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://tamis.army.mil",
NewWindow:=True
End Sub

It works as you have it if you put it all on one line. Just backspace the "NewWindow:=True" up to the same line as the rest.
