Bookmarks got empty from FormFields

[Guest]

Is the quantity of formfields in a word document limited? In case of yes,
what's the max?

 

[Charles Kenyon]

Yes there is a limit.

Before I try to find what it is... What are you trying to do? Are you
running into problems or expecting them because of a limit?

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

I don't think there is an actual limit on FormFields but there is a limit
(something over 16000) on Bookmarks.

 

[Greg]

In Word2000 (I think it might be strickened from later versions) type
Limits for Word in Help.

Bookmarks: 16379
Fields: 32,0000

Not on formfields perhaps, but there is a limit on the number of fields.
