Syntax

Remarks

When Microsoft Word is in form design mode, the Control Toolbox toolbar is displayed. Use this toolbar to insert Microsoft ActiveX controls such as command buttons, scroll bars, and option buttons. In form design mode, event procedures don't run, and when you click an embedded control, the control's sizing handles appear.

Example

This example switches to form design mode if the Control Toolbox toolbar is not currently displayed.

If CommandBars("Control Toolbox").Visible = False Then 
 ActiveDocument.ToggleFormsDesign 
End If
