MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005Document Variable vs Bookmark
I have a template that I have used bookmarks in which work fine, but because there is a possibility of the data needing to be changed (via userform) after the original document is created, I am trying to use a document variable instead. The following works fine -- ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyTest").Range.Text = oForm.txtMyTest.Text However when I attempt the following, (I set a docvariable named MyTest in the location where the bookmark previously existed) it fails to populate-- ActiveDocument.Variables("MyTest").Value = oForm.txtMyTest.Text What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! SRD >I have a template that I have used bookmarks in which work fine, but >because [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > What am I doing wrong? You're not updating the docvariable field after you change the value of the variable. Add this line after ActiveDocument.Fields.Update  SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup You need to update fields. If all the fields are in the body of the document you can simply use ActiveDocument.Fields.Update If the fields are in headers, footers or any other StoryRange you need to update them separately. >I have a template that I have used bookmarks in which work fine, but >because [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > SRD Which can usually be done most easily by using ActiveDocument.PrintPreview ClosePrintPreview SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
