Advice On Layout, please - linked objects, symbols or?
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:05:04 +090
Hello,

I'm making some lotto boards. I want to create a template some that I 
can have objects appearing on multiple pages. I want to be able to 
change the master object and have all the other duplicate objects change 
automatically. For example in one set I may have a clipart of a girl 
playing baseball. If I use another piece of clipart, say a girl skiing I 
want to be able to replace all the images of the girl playing baseball 
with the girl skiing. Should I be using linked objects, or editing 
symbols or vba or something else. I guess it's a bit like mail merge but 
I want to be able to replace objects rather than text. Does anyone have 
any ideas for the best approach?

Thanks,

Chris (Hunt)

VBA is the best approach. You could use Symbols and change its content, but 
it will not be as convinience as a macro.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I've managed to get something working 
using symbols as I after thinking about it I had no idea how to do the 
job with VBA!

Best wishes,

Chris
