Inserting field from a VB macro

[Flint]

What is the clean way to insert a field from a macro?
I tried to record it, but the result was:
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
"AUTHOR ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Thanks.

What is the problem with that code as far as you are concerned? What is
"unclean" about it?

I guess Flint's point is that this would be cleaner:

Selection.Fields.Add _
Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldAuthor, _
Text:= "", _
PreserveFormatting:=True

The macro recorder isn't perfect... Who knew? <g>
