Export of Textbox content to Excel

P

Peter

Over the years we have used a word template with predefined textboxes that
are manually filled in, in order to print a form.

I have big amount of filled in word documents, from which I wishes to export
the content of the textboxes to Excel.

First I looked for an export function, but couldn't find one...

Then I tryed to create a macro that would create a string that I could copy,
but the macro recorder does not allow me to access the text boxes...

Does anybody know if such an export is possible and how it can be done?

Thanks

Peter

What sort of textboxes?

Take a look at the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website:

Looked like a good reference, but I don't seem to get it to work.

Would it be possible to email a copy of one of the word files?

That would explain more than a lot of words.

Could be interested in a qoute for solving the problem.

Thanks

Peter
