Capturing Information via a User Form

[dch3]

I'm using a user form to capture fax information for a fax cover sheet.

1) Is the RANGE property the preferred means of grabbing info from a field
and placing it into a field on the user form?
ex:
frmFaxCover.txtPhone = Bookmarks.Item("fieldPhone").Range

2) What syntax would I use to grab the information from the User Form and
update the fields on the document? When I tried setting the .Range property,
the field was deleted completely. I'd prefer to simply update the field
preserving it.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZGNoMw==?=,

This depends on what you mean by "field" in the document. If you mean
"bookmark", then see the information here:
