How to replace mergefields in a Word doc

[Daryl G]

From a newbie,

I have a large number of documents that all need the mergefields replaced
with different fields

I wasn't sure if a macro could do this.

If so, can anyone post a sample script or describe the process or commands.

As an example :-
A file contains the string MergeField HEALTH ....<<HEALTH>> and I want to
replace this (and many other similar strings) with MergeField
ACCOUNTING....<<ACCOUNTING>>.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Daryl,

If you toggle on the field codes, you can use words Find and Replace
facility.

See the article “How to Find & ReplaceAll on a Batch of Documents in the
Same Folder” at:

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
