word 2007 "custom" fields
pacp 10/7/2008 1:18:03 AM
Greetings,

So Word 2007 still supports fields, which is great. I have been thinking
about creating my own fields which should be driven by some type of business
process.

Is this possible? I know of the "ask" field, by I don't know how to modify
it programatically or manually.

The field that may be most suitable for your purpose is the Docvariable.

Values can be assigned to it using

ActiveDocument.Variables("varname").Value =

and you would display those variables at the locations required in the
document by the use of { DOCVARIABLE varname } fields.

Hope this helps.
