Hi,

How do I search and rename a mergefield in word using Delphi 6? I can search
for the text in
the document and also find the field using

word.ActiveDocument.Fields.item(1).select

but how do I rename it and carry on searching through the doc to find and
rename more fields??

Thanks

J

Easiest would probably be to modify the fields' .Code property. I might use

For Each fld in ActiveDocument.Fields
If fld.Type = wdFieldMergefield
'note: check the wd as I typed from memory
fld.Code = "Mergefield " & szNewName
