How do I use Visual Basic to extract data from forms in Word?

[joeyb]

I am trying to extract individual entered fields in a filled-in form in Word
using Visual Basic. I would like to be able to run a procedure on filled-in
(completed) forms to quickly extraction of data on many forms. What commands
can I use to extract the data from the individual form fields. I am assuming
that I need to name the form fields to some unique name to enable this.

Form fields are automatically named as bookmarks, but you might want to
assign your own - more meaningful - names.

From VBA, use something like

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks([FieldName]).Range

to retrieve the contents
