Creating Template Variable for a RecordSet? Scotty 07.07.2006 14:15:03 I have a template which I would like to put a place holder to display 1 of 2 values depending what the user has selected as a preference. I know very little of the Word Template operations, but is this possible. If so where should I look for some help. Thank you.

What does "Recordset" in the subject have to do with this? In a general sort of way, it's not possible to link a Word file to any kind of "Recordset". This would require some kind of VBA code (or VSTO code).

Re: Creating Template Variable for a RecordSet? "Charles Kenyon" <wordfaq[ at ]nospam.addbalance.com> 08.07.2006 17:47:42 It may well be possible. I have templates that are localized. That is, their content is different depending on which user is using them to create documents. However, I can't tell what you are trying to do. Can you give an example, using as little jargon as possible?

"John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macintosh]" <john[ at ]mcghie.name> 10.07.2006 13:32:36 Hi Scotty: Yes, it's possible, however I need to know a bit more about what you are trying to accomplish in order that we can suggest the best way to do it. I would usually use an "IF" field for this. Look up the help topic "Field codes: If field" and come back here if you can't figure it out from there :-) Cheers On 8/7/06 12:15 AM, in article D3B07983-45CD-45D0-B5B5-D3CCC1087504[ at ]microsoft.com, "Scotty" <Scotty[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have a template which I would like to put a place holder to display 1 of 2 > values depending what the user has selected as a preference.

Re: Creating Template Variable for a RecordSet? Scotty 11.07.2006 17:19:02 Office Word 2003. The .dot field that I need to have controll over is a hyperlinked field, labeled? "Course, Mag (Leg Midpoint)+"; this is calculated. Depending on a registry value, this needs to be either the Midpoint or "Course, Mag (Leg Initial)+" field.
