Certainly you can store it in an external file. If you're using Word VBA, a very simple technique is to store it in INI format, then use System.PrivateProfileString to access the information. An example of INI file content: [Global info] CompanyAddress = "The information here" An INI file is a plain text file (you can create it using Notepad) with the file extension .ini Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
