MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2005FILLIN field within INCLUDETEXT - is it possible?
I work for the IT dept in a legal firm and am trying to introduce INCLUDETEXT statements into our precedent bank so that we can standardise the top and tail of our letters. We have a number of precedents that require a FILLIN for the recipient name/address/ref/salutation etc but it seems that FILLINs don't work within INCLUDETEXT in that they loop several times. A lock switch \! doesn't prevent the looping. Am I doing something wrong?

Instead of FILLIN, you could use bookmarks in the INCLUDETEXT, use a userform to ask the user to write the needed info and then insert the text from the userform into the bookmarks. It would be neater because the user would not have repetitive Inputboxes appear on the screen, just the one with all the spaces to write the text, and you cold even add error checking to make sure the user types accepted stuff (i.e. the date in the right format, numbers where required, etc.) SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thanks this was a very helpful suggestion - we're going to take up the idea!
