Can VBA process autotext (quickparts) stored in the current docume

[Peter]

I can process autotext entries (quickparts) stored in the normal template using
For i = 1 To NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries.Count
With NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries(i)

How can I process autotext stored the active document?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Peter Evans

You cannot store autotext entries in a document - only in a template. So in
order to answer this question you need to determine where the entries are
stored e.g.

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries.Count
or
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries.Count

Greg, Thanks for your prompt reply ...

I just tested this and it looks like you can save autotext in a
document using Word 2007 with saving in the dile in Word 2003 .doc
format

Below are links the screen shots showing the autotext being saved and
then being retrieved.

Can VBA addess these autotext entries?

I cannot imagine how you created this unless perhaps the document in
question is a renamed template, in which case it will be the attached
template as previously listed. You cannot save autotext entries in
documents.

Thanks. I just created another document and as you said i can't attach
autotext entries into it.

The original document has been used for a while and I have been
working on using a .doc file as a way of installing .dot files in
word's startup folder. I've moved the modules, forms and document
contents to a new file now and this should reduce the changes of
surprises.

Thanks again,
