How to create the brackets of the Field-Functions?

[Uwe Suedbeck]

I want to create e Field including a Picture in my Mailmerge, but when i try
to create the brackets Word uses to interprete the Functions, in my
Range-Object, Word does not Understand this bracket and draws a simple "{"
or "}" but doesn´t interpretes them.

How can i create this brackets in my vb-code??

The following examples are from the Visual Basic Help file

This example inserts a USERNAME field at the beginning of the selection.

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Set myField = ActiveDocument.Fields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldUserName)

This example inserts a LISTNUM field at the end of the selection. The
starting switch is set to begin at 3.

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldListNum, Text:="\s 3"

This example inserts a DATE field at the beginning of the selection and then
displays the result.

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Set myField = ActiveDocument.Fields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldDate)
MsgBox myField.Result
