Hi, I have a Word document that contains about 4000 form fields which I have to export afterwards to a database. The matter is that none of the 4000 fields have an information in the "Bookmark" field, thus I cannot get the information stored in them.
I'm trying to create a macro to help the process of writing the bookmark (FormField.Name) but cannot manage to do it right. The matter is that I want to change the names of the FormFields contained in the user's selection, and only them. I've managed to come to this solution:
Sub Macro2()
Dim myFile As String
Dim fnum As Integer
Dim sFileText As String
Dim currentField As FormField
myFile = "c:\testMacro.txt"
fnum = FreeFile()
Open myFile For Input As fnum
For Each currentField In Selection.FormFields
Input #fnum, sFileText
With currentField
.StatusText = sFileText
.OwnStatus = True
End With
currentField.Select
Application.WordBasic.FormFieldOptions Name:=sFileText
Next currentField
End Sub
But it doesn't work, because the Selection object is changed in the For Each loop and afterwards it only contains the first FormField of the selection.
So here is my question, is there a way to save the current selection and load it back after having changed it.
I've tried :
Dim mySelection as Selection
Set mySelection = Selection
But if I change the Selection, the variable mySelection changes as well (which is quite normal...) and I didn't find any way to clone the object.
Has someone an idea on how to do this?
Thanks
