Find Replace Form Field with text using Code

[Fred]

Using Forms Toolbar can you replace the formfield whose text name is [1]
with replace text
THIS IS THE REPLACE TEXT in template or document.

I have tried ^19 and ^d .

Can I select the field by some method - name or bookmark and delete it and
replace with text from a table?

Many thanks.

With the document protected for forms, you could run a macro that used the
..Result property of each formfield to cause it to display the information
from the table, then the macro could unprotect the document and unlink all
of the formfields so that the data contained in the formfield was converted
to ordinary text.

Hope this helps.
