How to remove a command button using Word VBA?

Question

I have a Word document containing a command button called "update".

How can I remove this button using VBA?

Answer 1

This should do it:

For Each o In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes      

   If o.OLEFormat.Object.Name = "update" Then
        o.Delete
    End If

Next

Answer 2

I think when you said “Button Name” you will add “Button Caption”; please use the code below -

For Each o In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
   If o.OLEFormat.Object.Caption = "update" Then
        o.Delete
    End If
Next
