How do I delete a command button using Word VBA?

Question

I have a Word document that contains a command button named "update".

How can I delete 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 ment 'Button Caption'; please try below code -

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

PS: the caption is case sensitive, so you may want to check the case for caption.
