You originally asked about a text field (Inserted in a document with the
Forms Toolbar), but are now writing about text boxes (Inserted with the
Controls Toolbar, or on a userform).
Which is it? The code is not the same and will not be stored in the same
place...

Hallo Tobias,

try:
ActiveDocument.Shapes("Text Box 10").TextFrame.TextRange = ""
or:
ActiveDocument.Shapes("Text Box 10").TextFrame.TextRange.delete

There are very subtle differences between both methods.

A textformfield is something quite different.
