Text Form Field Length problems.

[steve_lowe21]

I had a problem with only being able to put 256 characters in a text
form field, as others have in this group.

using the command;

ActiveDocument.FormFields("FieldName").Result = YourString

With no answers to this on any of the other similar topics I had a look
at the other methods associated with
ActiveDocument.FormFields("FieldName").

and found the following lets you add well over 256 characters to a text
form field.

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Fieldname").Range.Text = YourString

Hope this help someone.

SwitchBlade.

Ah, have just found a problem with this.

It replaces the text form field with the text, instead of adding the
text into the field.

The way to get round this slightly odd problem is to use:

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Fieldname").Range.Fields(1).Result.Text
