If cc.Type = wdContentControlDropdownList Or cc.Type = wdContentControlComboBox Then Here is the script: Sub Demo()įor Each cc In ActiveDocument.ContentControls As I mentioned in my comments, I when I select something then go back to the placeholder by selecting the first dropdown item that is by default the same as the placeholder the format gets reset again. I created a simple macro that loops through my fields and changes fonts for both, placeholders and values but it does not change all the defaults. I would appreciate any suggestion, either using a VBA script or Word object properties. & "Click the ""empty"" or ""title"" tag of the" _Ĭan something similar be done to apply the default Word Content Control formatting (such as placeholder text takes paragraph default formatting and a certain shade of gray until it is overwritten at which time it is no longer grayed out)? I have close to 80 Content Controls in that form and hope to streamline the process without having to start from scratch. MsgBox "You must select a single ContentControl." & vbCr + vbCr _ SetPlaceHolderText, , InputBox("Type your new placeholder text below.", _
I use the following macro shared by Greg Maxey to set placeholder text a lot: Sub SetPlaceHolderText() In addition, I am thinking of automating the process using a VBA macro.

I can edit placeholder text font style and size in Design Mode, but I cannot figure out how to make sure that placeholder text is grayed out (same shade of gray) and fields value text is not. The font seems to have inconsistent size, style and shade of gray. Other fields have placeholder text that is not grayed out at all. Some fields stay grayed out even after you fill them out.
It is a really long form with a variety of fields and field types (drop down lists, text boxes, combo boxes, check boxes, etc.) After a couple of months and multiple edits it came back to me with inconsistent formatting of field values and placeholder text values. I have created a Microsoft Word Form using interactive Content Controls.
