MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004editing docvariable fields
I have two questions nagging me: 1. How can I insert a line return inside a docvariable field without showing those white boxes? This is for some simple formatting. 2. I don't always fill in all docvariable fields. So they do not display error messages in the field, I default a blank space, as in: ActiveDocument.Variables("one") = " " Is there a better method for this? Thanks and have a great holiday! Returns within a variable -- ActiveDocument.Variables("one") = "line one" & vbcr & "line two" Empty variable: set it to a zero-length string ActiveDocument.Variables("one") = "" > I have two questions nagging me: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks and have a great holiday! Thanks for the reply. When I used vbcr, I got that blasted empty box. I then used the old-fashioned Chr(13) which worked quite handily for me. For emptying the doc variable, when I pass the empty string "", Word leaves the "Error" warning in the doc variable, which also prints. When I pass a space " ", it looks "empty", of course. I subsequently noticed that I had forgotten to execute the ActiveDocument.Fields.Update method, which was causing me most of my headaches. Thanks, again, and have a great holiday!

As for the empty string, I checked it -- perhaps it's something that's changed between Word versions. > Thanks for the reply. When I used vbcr, I got that blasted empty box.
