MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / May 2008Macro to unlink in nonprimary header
I have written a macro that removes all fields from the document after the user populates it using dialog boxes (Ask fields). My problem is, I included coding that unlinked all fields in the header, which I thought was a grand idea until I realized that it also unlink the Page field! Is there a way to "protect" the page field so it can not be unlinked when I run my macro? Or as a fall back, is there a way, using a macro, that I unlink only the two fields I want unlinked (date and reference number) and leave the page field intact? Thanks for any help, I've been searching web but found only global replacements. You can conditionally unlink fields eg Dim oField As Field For Each oField In ActiveDocument.Fields If oField.Type = wdFieldDate Then oField.Unlink End If Next Set oField = Nothing  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I have written a macro that removes all fields from the document > after the user populates it using dialog boxes (Ask fields).
