getting info from txt w/o using bookmarks?

[Rhayan]

Hi all,

I have a template to make a fax (or letter), when it is first ran it checks
for a txt
file using "System.PrivateProfileString", if it doesn't exist it shows a
userform requesting user information (name, phone nr. etc.) and then put
this information in the bookmarks in my
document and store it in a txt-file.
Now i also like to create a template i can use for a mail merge, and also
use this info (from the text file) in this document. But i allready found
that it is impossible to keep you bookmarks after a mail merge, they all get
deleted.
Is there a way to still get the info form the text file in my document
without using bookmarks? Is this possible with fields?

Thanks in advance,

Rhayan

Hi Rhaya,

You can put the text into custom document properties, and have it reflected
in the document using DOCPROPERTY fields. Check out the
CustomDocumentProperties collection.
