atw: Re: DocVariables in Word [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Elizabeth
 
Yes, as far as I remember, the only way to get to doc variables is
through VBA. To change the value you use a statement like
 
ActiveDocument.Variables("DocVar Name").Value = "some string"
 
Since you mention DocVariable fields, you presumably have the names of
the variables, so you should be able to do this.

        Hi all 

        Here's one that has me stumped (my rep as Word guru on the verge
of tatters). 

        We have a document which uses DocVariable fields. We don't know
how to change the value of them, and we want to. 

        The research I have done indicates that it is done via VB (not
the beer) (that may make my lack of knowledge easier to bear, though I
usually prefer champagne on such occasions... but i digress) - we don't
know where the variables are stored.

        Is it perhaps that they are stored in the document invisibly,
and we can only change them by running a macro? There is no evidence of
such a macro being attached to the document in question.

        Hopefully someone can help me, otherwise I am in for an
afternoon of playing!
