Inserting Data into a Template

[Magnus.Moraberg]

Hi,

I have a template word document into which I wish to insert
information. At the start of the template, I have -

Name:

And I wish to insert here a persons name via C#, for example -

Name: Barry

To do this, I in fact have the following -

Name: USER_NAME

and I use the Replace function to replace USER_NAME with Barry, or
whoever the file pertains to.

But I'm thinking there is another way of doing this,

Thanks,

Barry.

In the template, replace USER_NAME with { DOCVARIABLE varUserName }field

Then have your code assign the user name to the document variable
varUserName and have it update the fields in the document

With ActiveDocument
.Variables("varUserName").Value = "Barry"
'set values of other variables
.Range.Fields.Update
End With

would be the code to use if you were using VBA - sorry I can't help with the
equivalent C#

Note that when inserting the fields in the template, you must use Ctrl+F9 to
insert each pair of field delimiters {}
