How to access value of combobox in word document

[Piotr Chmielewski]

Hi,

I'm trying to fix/change an Excel VBA macro that opens selected word
document and extracts some data from it. Unfortunately, I cannot find
any info how to access the value of combo box in that document (the
one from control toolbox, not a form). Any idea how to do that?

Piotr

Using the .Value attribute of the combobox should return the item that is
selected in the boundcolumn.

This is out of the question. However, I don't know how to access
combobox object at all You know, when I have an word document
object created, let's name it "doc", it's easy to access for example
table cell, it would be something like: doc.Tables(1).Cell(1,1).Range.
But how to access combobox and therefore all of it's attributes in
this document?

Ok, at the beginning I was also trying references to doc.Shapes.blabla,
But finally my friend helped me, and the solution is as simple as it gets:
doc.combobox1.Value
where doc is opened document object and combobox1 is name for
combobox I'm trying to get value for
Thanks for your response though.

Yes, you were right, but my question should be more like: "how to refer to
combobox
object at all". I was trying things like: doc.shapes.combobox1.value etc,
didn't suppose
that it may be so simple...
