Can I use a switch to truncate/substring a field?

[rf@absolutions]

I am programming a document where I am inserting a character field
(length=25) and I only want the last 4 characters inserted. I am trying to
insert this field into a table and am limited on space.

Word 2003

Use "Right"

Sub Test()
Dim pStr As String
pStr = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy"
pStr = Right(pStr, 4)
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Text = pStr
End Sub

The document I am working on is interfacing with any program and I cannot use
the method as you listed below (thanks though). Can anything be done with
switches or formula fields?

I'm confused. You say you are programming, you post in a programming forum,
and now you say you can't use a programming solution.
