Word 2003 - Macros to Autopopulate Fields?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Word 2003. Ok...I apparently need to set up some macros to get my document (let's say, for simplicity sake, a letter) to autofill in such things as address and name (by autofill, i'm assuming i'll have to make a macro button or something to trigger the filling). This address/name/etc info will be drawn from a text file that was originally drawn from a database record. Now this text file only contains information for ONE client, so it's not like Word has to sort our a whole database, it just needs to plop the information from the text file into the Word document in the right places (for instance, the text file has about 400 entries, but I only want ones like Name and Address, etc to appear and be populated on the Word Document.

How on earth do I do this?

I've checked out that InsertDatabase macro, but it inserts the ENTIRE text file, while I just want the relevant piece to be populated.

Anyway, assume I know NOTHING about macros or fields or whatever!

Help! This is driving me mad!
