Passing form data on open
Is it possible to construct a shortcut that would open up Word 2003 and
populate specific fields with data that is passed by arguments to the link? Something similar to how :C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.note /m full e-mail name will create a new email message previously addressed, but with fields which I created and named populating themselves. Thanks |

Hi Wowbagger,
Is it possible to construct a shortcut that would open up Word 2003 and populate specific fields with data that is passed by arguments to the link? No, Word's command line doesn't support anything of this nature. You'd need to automate it, either an AutoOpen macro in the document or an AutoNew macro in a template. Or use an EXE to start Word and pass the data.
