MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2005MS Word VBA - update specific docproperty
I have a document that has docproperties in the header and body. I have a custom button that loads a userform in which these document properties can be changed. Right now, I have the following code that updates all the fields on the page: Dim myStoryRange As Range For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges myStoryRange.Fields.Update Next myStoryRange This works, however, I'd like to be able to ONLY update the 3 document properties that have changed. Is there any way to do this? >I have a document that has docproperties in the header and body.

Dim myStoryRange As Range Dim oField as Field For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges For each oField in myStoryRange.Fields If oField.Type = wdFieldDocProperty Then oField.Update End If Next oField Next myStoryRange  SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org Thanks a lot Jonathan! Is there any way to avoid looping through all the fields in the range and only update specific fields? > Thanks a lot Jonathan!

If you know exactlly which fields you want, you could do it something like this With ActiveDocument.Range .Fields(1).Update .Fields(3).Update .Fields(47).Update End With but that will only work if your document doesn't change to the extent of adding or removing fields. You might be safer updating all fields of a specific type.

I suppose you you mark the field with a bookmark, and then reference the first field in the range marked by the bookmark. Something like this. ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyBookmark").Range.Fields(1).Update SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org |
