MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2005Get value from a field in a word document
Hello! I have a question about a Word template. When a user create a new document from the template the user have to input values into textboxes in a userform. These values are saved in documentproperties (CustomDocumentProperties) and they are also inserted into different fields in the document header. I use fields in the header to store the values. When the document is closed i would like to get all the values from the header and write them to document properties. The reason why i want to have this function, is if the use changes a value in one of the fields in the header. Then the same value should appaer in documentproperties. Otherwise the header and documentproperties would contain different values. My question is how i can get a value from a field in the header? I am thankful for all help i can get. /Roger Hi Roger, I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve. Are you editing the text in the header after the document has been created, and wanting this text to be reflected in updated document properties?

The header may be edited when the document is opened another time. If we for example have a documentproperty called "version". This field in the header may be changed during the lifetime of the document. My thought is to run Document.Close() and at that time get values from the header and set them into the documentproperties.

I see. There may be a better alternative. Put bookmarks on the content in the header. Tthen when you create the document properties, you can check the "Link to content" box, and select the bookmark whose text you want the property to reflect. Then, whenever you save the document, the property value will match the text of the bookmark it is associated with.
