Form Field (defining and associating a bookmark with it)
When defining a Form Field on a Word (2000) document, the pop-up window only
allows 20 chars for the Bookmark name. In the documentation it states that a bookmark name can be 40 characters. ....How to ..Insert a Text Form Field on your word document ..double click on the field to enter names .. enter default text (which shows on the doc) .. under Bookmark: (the field name) only 20 characters are allowed. I run a background agent which uses this name to find and populate data on the Word document (forall x in Workbook.names ) I need additional characters. |

Hi ?B?SnVkaQ==?=,
When defining a Form Field on a Word (2000) document, the pop-up window only allows 20 chars for the Bookmark name. In the documentation it states that a bookmark name can be 40 characters. ....How to ..Insert a Text Form Field on your word document ..double click on the field to enter names .. enter default text (which shows on the doc) .. under Bookmark: (the field name) only 20 characters are allowed. I run a background agent which uses this name to find and populate data on the Word document (forall x in Workbook.names ) I need additional characters. It's possible to select the form field and apply the name using Insert/Bookmark. I recommend, however, that you first delete the default name that Word assigns the form field in the Options dialog box. What I don't know, however, is how well this approach will work with that "background agent".
