I have a Word document that has bookmark fields. I would like data
from some of the bookmarks to show in the subject line when I email
the document. We are using Office 97. Can this be done with code in
the Word document or is it done in Outlook?

Thanks in advance
Ron

It can be done with code in Word once you have a reference in the Visual
Basic Editor to the appropriate Outlook Object Model.

See the article "How to send an email from Word using VBA" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm

in the code in the second method in that article, you would replace the line

.Subject = "New subject"

with

.Subject = "sometext" &
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("nameofbookmarktobeinsertedinsubject").Range.Text &
"somemoretextifnecessary"

Signature

Hope this helps.
