Adding a field to an autotext entry

[gstevens11]

Hi All:

I'm clearly missing something simple about ranges, objects and the se
statement. I want to create an autoext entry containing a SEQ fiel
with...

someRange.Fields.Add Range:=someotherRange, Type:=wdFieldSequence
Text:="numlist"

I'm completely clueless as to using the range objects here. When I ru
it I'm told there is nio somRange object.. and there isn't, since I'
not at all clear how to create one.

Thanks for your help
Garr

Dim SomeRange as Range

Set SomeRange = ActiveDocument.Content

'now the range has a parent storyrange to belong to - actdoc.content.

'Let's say we are inserting at end of doc

SomeRange.Collapse wdcollapseend

'Now the insert

SomeRange.Fields.Add SomeRange,Type:=wdFieldSequence,
Text:="numlist"
