Testing if GoTo next field succeeded

[christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com]

I need to go to each field in a document and perform an action. When there
are no more fields, I want to end the loop. This seems similar to a find
operation, but how does the code know when there are no more fields? I don't
see a test for it. It could be something similar to "if selection.find.found"
or it could be "if selection.information = inField" etc. except that the
information property doesn't seem to detect fields. Thanks...

You might be able to compare the current field's index with (say)
ActiveDocument.fields.Count

Not sure how feasible that is, or how it might work given that the
document has multiple "Stories", each of which can contain fields.

As Peter says, you will have to handle each Story separately, but within
each, you can use:

For Each F in Story_ref.Fields
...

and if you are only interested in fields in the main story then, more simply

For Each F in ActiveDocument.Fields
...
