OCX Form Field Collection

[Peter]

Form fields inserted into a document from the Forms toolbar can be accessed
by ActiveDocument.FormFields("formfieldname"). This does not work for fields
inserted into the same document from the Control Toolbox. In a Userform, you
can use the Controls collection but I can't figure out how to access the
fields inserted from the Controls Toolbox. I want to write a construct like:
For each ctl in Controls... Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Peter

OCX fields in a Word document are members of either the InlineShapes or the
Shapes collection. So you need to loop those collections and test the .Type
property to determine if they're controls.
