Create a User Defined Field in Word so that I can reference from E

[scott56hannah]

Hi,

I would like to create a field in a word document. That can be updated by
setting the field either directly in word or via a VBA application written in
Excel.

I have reviewed a few questions already answered in this forum and I can see
that potentially DocProperty or DocVariables may allow me to create my own
custom fields that are updatable.....but I cannot seem to get them to work
within the word document I am using to trial this.

Can someone point me in the right direction for this ?

I am developing this in Word 2003 and need it to work in the application

In terms of the User updating the field within the Word application that is
not really required because I am intending the fields to be updated from the
application I have developed in Excel and that application will update the
fields.

I think I am looking for some help and instruction on how to create fields
within the Word document that I can then access via the Excel application..

Thanks for any help or assistance
Scott
